The 4th Game

After the first three Games, Jenny and her friends have been living a peaceful life and all that. However, a Shadow Man comes one night and tells Jenny that the Games are not over yet. There is still one more deadly Game left to do.

Late at night a dark shadowy figure appeared beside of Jenny and of course she would most likely remember this shadow man who's name was Jeff

he pestered and harassed her from time to time and in all honesty he wasn't like the other shadow men

he didn't wish to harm anyone

he just wanted to play and mess around with people

and even possibly make a friend

Jenny was awoke by the sudden coldness that appeared in the room whenever Shadow Men were around. She yelped when she spotted Jeff standing beside her, her eyes wide in shock. She quickly sat up, never taking her eyes off the Shadow Man.

"What are you doing here?!" the 15 year old cried out.

Jeff only chuckled when the girl cried out questioning why he was there

"I just wanted to say hi~ it's been a long time sense me and you have spoken to each other... it makes me rather sad~""

She glared at him with her bright green eyes. "Couldn't you have at least waited till it was morning? You coming at night and standing over me while I was sleeping, is some sort of pedo thing!"

Then again, Julian did that my whole life, she thought, frowning. He watched over and protected me over the years.. And now...

"I'm sorry" Jeff put his head down "I can go if you wish~"

"Yes, I want you to leave!" Jenny told him. "Right now!"

"Okay~" he disappeared for a moment then appeared right in front of her once again "but before I go... what is a pedophile?"

She let out another startled cry when he re-appeared once again. "Go ask someone else. Now leave."

"For the love of darkness," a voice growled. "You still haven't told her, have you?"

Jenny looked around to see where the voice had came from, yet she could only see Jeff. So her and him were the only two in the room, right? So, who had spoken?

"Oh how rude of me," the voice chuckled. "You can't see me."

The next thing the teen knew, there was another Shadow Man in her room.

Jeff glanced over at the other shadow man "My old friend~!" he cheered

Yomi glared at him with his golden at him. "We have not friend!"

Jenny stared at the two Shadow Men. Great. I know what Jeff wants, but what does this one want from me?

The Shadow Man turned to face her, and she flinched back a bit. Well, she was going to find out what he wanted, and she prayed it was nothing bad.

"Anyway, since Jeff isn't going tell you Jenny, I might as well.."

"How do you know--"

"Your name?" Yomi chuckled. "Simple. Us Shadow Men know all about you. Ever since you opened that door when you were five and Julian laid his eyes on you. For darkness' sake, I still don't understand why he would fall in love with a human such as yourself. As pretty as you are.."

Jenny glared at him as he spoke that. Just what was that suppose to mean?

"Anyway, I have some news from you. Julian is alive--"

"He is?!" the 15 year old gasped.

"--and if you want to see him again, well you need to play another Game," Yomi chuckled.

"I'm not playing another sick twisted Game, that you Shadow Men have planned!"

Jeff chuckled as he floated over to the girl "oh but Jenny you WILL play the game~" he continued with his sick and twisted chuckled "if you ever wish to see Julian again then you will play the game~" Jeff then began to play with the girl's hair "and I think we all know that you wish to see him again and that it's killing you inside just by being away from him~"

Jenny jerked away from him, glaring. What he said was true. She did miss Julian, and her heart hurt whenever she was away from him. She clutched the golden ring that he had given her at the end of the first Game, that had showed that she belonged to him. She'd do anything to see him again. But play another Game? The last three were terrible and twisted! And Julian was different than these Shadow Men! Just what Game did they have planned this time?

Jeff moved his hand over to Jenny's and then grabbed onto her hand "It's obvious you miss him so do not try to hide your bliss for him~" he then let go and floated around her a couple of times "if you want to see him again then you should come back to the shadow world where it all began~"

"Now, now, don't scare the poor child," Yomi chuckled. "At least not yet. We'll have plenty of time for that when the Game starts."

It was true, she did want to see him again... She wanted to be with him more than anything else. And if going back to the Shadow World would allow her to be with him again...

Jenny bit her lip and stood up. She took a deep breath and looked at both Shadow Men.

"Fine. Let's go to the Shadow World."

Jeff laughed as he floated over to Jenny and grabbed her arm "Off we are to see Julian! so you can tell him that you are happy to see him again~!"

"Yeah.." Jenny whispered.

It was time to face facts. She wanted to see Julian again. Tom had gotten... Different since the Games. But then again, they were all different then when they played the first Game.

Her heart was telling her to be with the Shadow Man that had started the Games, and she'd listen to her heart.

"Let's go.." she said.

"I know you'd see it our way," Yomi laughed.

And so they went back to the Shadow World. Back to the place this whole mess began at.

XXXX

Jenny looked around and shivered slightly at being back in this place. She didn't like it in the first Game, and she didn't like it now. One of those un-holy fidest looking baby things crawled over to her, holding out a clawed-hand.

"Can we take you?" it asked, sweetly. "We can carry you."

The 15 year old shook her head and stepped closer to Yomi and Jeff. They were the only two Shadow Men that were like a life-line to her at the moment. To keep things like that away from her.

At least until they found Julian...

Jeff chuckled as he kneeled down to the fidest thing "Sorry but she's mine for the taking~"

The thing crossed its arms, pouting. "Fine," it said in a child-like voice.

"Hey, I don't belong to you!" Jenny snapped at the Shadow Man.

"Would you rather we give you to the other Shadow Men?" Yomi asked. "They seem to really want you."

"Umm... Never mind.."

Jeff only laughed at that

The thing crawled away at that, seeing as it wasn't going to be taking Jenny anytime soon. The teen sighed in relief.

Jeff floated around Yomi and Jenny "this is going to be fun~ so I suggest that you do not run~"

The other Shadow Man glared at him. "What did I say about doing that?"

Jenny cleared her throat. "You said Julian was here. Where is he?"

Yomi turned to face her. "You'll see him in a few minutes. And when you do, the Game will begin."

She sighed. "What's the Game this time?"

"You will be told when he gets here."

"You cannot tell me what to do you silly old fool~!"

Yomi glared at him. "Silly old fool?"

Jenny chuckled slightly at that, and stopped when the Shadow Man glared at her.
