Jackie The Ripper

Chapter 18

    It felt like time took forever to go by. I could hear him moving around through the house. It made my skin crawl to know this man thought he could hurt Thomas then hurt me and I would let him around our children. It was time for this monster to be put to sleep. I glanced out of the window and saw it was starting to get dark. Then there was a knock at the door. "Sweetheart, are you awake in there?" "Yes I am darling, is there something you need?" 

    The door flew open and I saw the rage in his eyes. "Where is my knife?!" "What knife? " "You know what knife. The one by you on the counter this morning. Now where is it?" "I don't have your knife." He grabbed me by the throat. Squeezing so hard that I couldn't breath. "I'm going to ask you one more time. Where is that knife?" He loosened his grip enough for me to say under the pillow. 

    I dropped to the bed as he grabbed the knife and looked at me. "Don't do that again. Or I will kill your children." He left the room slamming the door. This was going to be harder than I ever thought. I couldn't be there to protect the children like I wanted to be. It got pit black outside when there was another knock at the door. 

    He didn't wait for me to answer the door opened wide and he walked in. I curled up on the bed. Not wanting him close to me. There was a candle in his hand. I got scared he would hurt me with me. "Let me see your neck." I swallowed hard and leaned my head to the side so he could see. He went to touch me and I backed away. "I'm not going to hurt you. Let me touch it."

    I had no choice at this point. He threatened my children again. He touched my neck as I groaned in pain. I felt so many emotions all at once. He got close and kissed the bruise on my neck. "I'm sorry. I just get so angry sometimes. I shouldn't have reacted that way to you. I didn't even ask why you needed the knife." I looked at him and flat out lied to him. "I wanted to cut my hair. So I wouldn't have to worry about it anymore." 

    He touched my hair and looked deep into my eyes. "You are so beautiful with your long blonde hair though. Could you keep it for me?" I gave him a nod and a smile. He leaned in and kissed me on the lips. "Alright I will leave you to get some rest. Good night my sweetheart." "Goodnight Jack." He closed the door and I needed to focus and get my courage back up. 

    So I knew I needed to get a knife or some kind of weapon again. I decided to wait for a while and I snuck into the kitchen only to find nothing. So I snuck into his bedroom. Maybe if i sleep with him he will trust me more. I stripped off all of my clothes. I whispered to him. "Jack? Are you awake?" "What is it Jackie?" "I was lonely and wanted to come in here with you." 

    It was so dark so he had no idea that I was naked. I sat down on the edge of the bed and I felt his hand on my back. "Jackie? What are you wanting" "I want you." He kissed me deeply and before I knew it we were doing everything together like we had twice before. It was like our bodies and had been doing this for years. It felt amazing but I needed to stay focused. I needed to get this done and get his trust. We both finished as usual.

    "I know that I love you Jackie. I want to change and have a normal life together." I smiled. I had finally gotten close enough to him to get him to trust. "I love you too Jack." He kissed me and rolled over to get some sleep. I fell asleep too but only for a few hours. I woke up before him. I hurried and got dressed and went back to the kitchen. I happened to notice a drawer that I hadn't looked in before. There were four knives covered in blood. I grabbed one and wanted to go into his room and stab him. 

    Then I heard his voice from behind me in a sleepy voice. "I thought I felt you get up. What are you doing?" "I wanted to make you breakfast darling." "Oh okay. Sounds great. I'll go get ready for the day." "Okay darling." He turned around to walk away and I took the knife and stabbed him in the back. Listening to him scream out in pain made me smile. As he fell to the ground I found the front door and ran outside. I didn't completely recognize where I was at. I found an alleyway and started running. 

    I ran straight into a police officer. "Oh sir maybe you can help me." What has happened to you madam?" "Jack the Ripper kidn*pped me. I don't know how long he has had me but I need to get home to my children." "Point me in the direction of where you were kidnapped." I finally finished giving him directions and he got a fellow police officer to stay with me while they went into the house. The officer came outside and said. "I'm sorry but there is no one inside. Let us walk you home so you can get cleaned up and change into some fresh clothes.

    The officers walk me home and knock on the front door for me. Mr. Knight answered the door which I was so happy to see him. "Jackie? Is that really you?" "Yes it is dad." I jumped into his arms as he thanked the officers for bringing me home. Then I heard them. Damion walked out of the living room. "Mama?" I squatted down. "Yes baby." All of the sudden I was tackled to the ground by all three children. I was happy, but in the back of my head was where did Jack go?
