Part 11

"Who's that guy over there?" Ellie's best friend Jade asked.

"I don't know. He's been around her a lot. Every time Alice sees him she makes me go inside." A younger Ellie frowned at the unpleasant site.

"He looks so dirty." Jade said looking at the guys clothes which was about the only part of him you could really see in the first place. "Maybe we should go inside." Ellie's other best friend Owen said no liking the feeling he was getting from the creature they were all watching.

"Why? It's not like he's coming over here or anything. If he does the door is right there, and we can go get Eden." Ellie rolled her eyes, and then the guy really did start to come up to the front porch where they were sitting.

Ellie rolled over on top of Jack accidentally and he tried to wake her up, but wasn't getting the luck he was hoping for. He rolled her back over to where she had started, and soon enough her eyes popped open scaring him a little. She herself was scared by her dream which was more like a flashback. She remembered that day very well, and was confused about why her family never told her.

"Are you okay?" Jack asked wrapping his arms tightly around her, and she gave a small smile.

"I'll alright. What about you?" She decided to keep things to herself until she was sure that it was the same guy.

"I didn't sleep to well. My girlfriend got it in her head that it would be alright to kill me in her sleep." His words came out in a teasing matter, and Ellie rolled her eyes.

"Sometimes I'm forced to stay awake and make songs out of my boyfriend's snoring." She stuck her tongue out at him, and he pretended to be offended.

"I'm not that bad." He tried to protest, but he knew he was, because his own snoring had once waked him up.

"Please. You should like a freight train, and that's only on good nights." Ellie said and Jack gave a fake pout.

"I'm sorry." He said in a babyish tone. He rolled over, and pulled her along to the other side of him. They started to kiss, until they saw a flash come from the window.

" We didn't sleep the rest of the night. It actually took me 10 minutes to talk Jack in to not going outside and killing whoever is doing this." Ellie said drinking down her fourth cup of coffee.

" At least you'd know who the sick freak is." Said the person sitting across from her sipping on tea.

" Jazillyn! If he did that Jack would be dead." She looked at her old friend completely shocked. Before Jazillyn could justify her comment Zoot came barging in.

" I'm....Hey...." He said stopping himself once he saw Jazillyn. He had a big smile on his face as he was taking a like to what he saw. " Hi. I'm Zoot." He said trying to ignore Ellie's giggles.

" Jazillyn." She smiled at him and shook his hand, before turning back to Ellie. " What do you want to do then? Do you want to leave the farm?"

" I could never really leave the farm. You know that!" Ellie answered watching Zoot burning wholes in Jazillyn. " I'll be right back...I need to find Jack. Make sure he hasn't killed anyone after last night." She purposely left them alone to do their business. Whatever it might just happen to be.

" It was a camera flash?" She heard her brother ask as she walked in to the room.

" I think so. It wasn't lightening...so what else could it of been?" Jack said with a puzzled look on his face. " Hey." His face lit up when he saw her in the door way. She walked over to him and sat in his lap purposely making her brother upset. " How can you not be worried about this?"

" I have a plan." She said with a wicked grin.

Part 13

" I'm not going to be able to stop you from this am I?" Her brother asked behind her as he fallowed along in to the kitchen. To their surprise there was a girl in Zoot's lap playing tongue hockey.

" That's disgusting." Jack said from behind his girlfriend.

" I knew it." Ellie laughed and all glares were in her direction. Jazillyn and Zoot pulled apart and smiled embarrassedly.

" Now back to Ellie's plan. You know your insane right?" Jack said rubbing her back.

" Like you said. It's Ellie's plan. It involves Ellie. You need to act like the good boyfriend we all wished you were and stay here." She said teasing him.

" Putting yourself up for bait is not going to do anything but get you killed. That maniac will hurt you like her hurt Natie." Eden reminded them all about his wife and the tragic loss of their child. He left the room frustrated and scared his marrige was on the brink of failure and deep down he blamed his sister for their pain.

" He's not going to hurt me. Jazillyn said we're family...at least we share the same blood. Plus...I can talk my way out of anything even if things do go wrong." She told Jack.

" Your going to believe that witch?" Jack said in a low and almost quiet voice. He could feel Jazillyn staring at him, and noticed the confused and painfully shocked expression on Ellie's face.

" I'm not a witch." Jazillyn said bluntly knowing there was nothing wrong with witches. She just happen to not be one herself. Ellie herself could bring her thoughts to words. At least not any she could say to Jack that wouldn't end their relationship on the spot.

" I'm going to go and do what I have to." She said to everyone in the room and then turned to her good friend. " Please don't kill him. At least not yet." Jazillyn smiled at Ellie's reference to her boyfriend.

" Don't worry. I'll keep her busy." Zoot said with a smile. After that was all over with Ellie left the farm house and Jack left the room.

She walked alone in the woods as he watched her. She could hear every breath he took and tried to keep herself from getting sick. She heard something behind her so she quickly turned around. A hand quickly went over her mouth, and she cooperated as he drug her off to another place.
