Chapter 10 - Jacob

Jacob grew up getting bullied. He was teased and shoved and even got into fights sometimes. His parents tried transferring him to a different school but it made no difference. They moved to a different town with a different district, still his situation didn't change. No matter what they did he continued to get bullied. Then one day, Jacob came home with another boy standing next to him. He introduced him as Bryer, and said he was his friend. His parents almost cried from shock and happiness when Bryer started coming over more and more often. But they never knew what Jacob and Bryer did while together. The door to Jacob's room was always closed and they never heard a sound when he was there. But one of the days that Bryer came over, Jacob's parents realized something smelled really bad, and the smell was coming from Jacob's room. They knocked on the door, no answer. They called the kids names, again, no answer. Finally they just opened the door, and inside were the two children. Bryer was playing with toys, his back to the door, and Jacob was in a dark corner. The mother walked over to Bryer to ask if he had known what the smell was, but he didn't say anything. He just slowly started to turn around, just as Jacob started to walk out of the corner. The parents screamed at what they saw. A bloody kitchen knife on the floor, and eyeless Bryer, with Jacob standing next to him smiling, and holding his eyes. Then in a low whisper Jacob said, "Look mommy. Me and Bryer are playing psychopath."
