A Dark Obsession (Jerry Dandridge X Reader)

- Apple Gathering (And Meeting Who~?) -

(Ready for a special character? I got ya...😎)

You were in the meadow picking apples. You were confused of why you two needed to collect apples. "Hey, Billy? Why we need to gather all these apples?" "Oh, Jer eats them. That's why we're picking them for him." You thought for a second. "Ohhhh. Is that all he eats?" "He eats other fruits as well. It doesn't have to be just apples." "So, he doesn't eat real food?" "I've never seen Jer eat real food before...I don't think he can't unless if it's fruit."

You find it odd. 'Why does he eat fruit and nothing else? That's weird. I know he's a vampire and all, and he probably drinks blood, if that's the case...' You continue to pick apples until the basket got halfway full. "I think that's enough, (Y/N). I don't collect that much for him." You nod and pick up the basket. "Do you like fruit, (Y/N)?" "Of course, Billy. I like strawberries." "Aww, that's nice. There's strawberry bushes here. I'll gather some up for you."

"Thanks." You looked around until you saw multiple trees. It appeared to be a forest. You started to make your way over there. "Hey, where you're going, (Y/N)?" "The forest, to see if I can 'investigate' any special fruit, Billy. Your 'friend' might like it." He laughs at you. "Very well. Good luck!" You started to make your way to the forest. You looked around at the surrounding tall trees. "Good god, this place is scary. I wonder what kind of animals live here...or people. I don't know if people would really live in the forest. At night, it's scary."

You stepped on something hard. You look down and it was a small sword. You were confused for a second until you picked it up and investigate it. It had dirt on the bottom and a little bit of blood spots on it. 'Was someone— no, no...it can't be...' Not long, you heard voices. You look straight ahead and you saw two men in medieval-like suits. You went up to take a closer look. Once you got close enough, you hid behind a tree. However, one of them was oddly familiar. You recognize the purple medieval suit and the familiar face. 'Wait— is that—...?!" You look in your purse and took out the photo of the same man.

You looked at the photo, then the man. It came to you as a total shock that it was actually him, and he existed. 'Oh, my god! That really is him! The Dandridge lookalike!' You overhear him telling the other man that he was going to murder someone, and an evil plot. "I must head back..." you hear him say. You watched as the other man left. You watched as the Dandridge lookalike took out a sword. He started to laugh very evilly. 'Oh no...he's a bad person...I got to get out of here...' You started to back away very silently. It all failed when you stepped on a stick. You gasp and covered your mouth. 'I hope he didn't hear that...'

When you looked ahead again, he was looking right at you. 'Oh god, he did...is this the part when I make a break for it or just stand here?' He started walking towards you. You started to turn around and attempt to walk away. "Wait, dear. I can't let you leave yet..." You swallowed and stop. 'Oh god...' You hear him walking to you until he stopped. "Who are you? And what are you doing out here?" You turn to him. You weren't scared, but a little shy. 'He sounds just like Jer too...' You didn't say anything because you were too shy to speak. "Can you speak? Why are you out here watching me?" Finally, you had the courage to speak. "...Nothing. I was wandering out here in the forest until I came across you and your friend." He started to lightly frown at you.

"Well, it looks like you were spying on us. Are you planning something to attack us???" You waved your arms. "What?! No! I'm just an ordinary stranger who's just casually walking around in the forest, just wandering around." You reveal the small sword and hand it to him. "And I think this is yours. It was on the ground on my way over here." He took it from you and examined it. "Oh, why it is mine. Thank you for finding it." You nod and gave a soft smile. He putted it in his slot then his sword. "Now, where were we? Oh, yes. Why were you spying on us? It looks to me like you're a threat. What are you plotting to do, hmmm?" "No. I wasn't plotting anything."

He started to laugh at you. "Oh, you silly girl. Tell the truth. You're thinking about putting me and my friend in danger." His attitude changed when he frowned and pulled out his sword again. "Now, tell me, why are you here watching us???" You literally had enough of his foolishness and raised your hand at him. He looked confused at you and lowers his sword. "Listen, I don't mean no harm and I don't even know you. I saw you two and I was curious. And believe me, I'm already in enough danger than I'm already am." He got concerned when you mentioned that you were in enough danger. He believes you, and putted away his sword. "How you're in enough danger than it already is?"

"My friends are dead, an abnormally person has a dark obsession for me, and......" You couldn't say anything else. You covered your face and shook your head. You felt a hand on your shoulder. "Oh my...I'm so sorry, dear...I didn't know..." You close your eyes and sighed. "Do you want to come with me? I can protect you from whoever is doing this to you. There's a spare room I have that you can stay in." You hold his hand. "Thank you, but his friend is with me. And if I go with you, they're gonna eventually find me. If I manage to escape, I'll come back here. That is, if I ever see you again..."

He touches your cheek. "Don't worry, I'm always around in the forest. I wish you can come with me. By the way, can you tell me who is doing this to you? And why?" You didn't want to say his name. "...He's a....murderer. He......kills young women...and...I can't explain the rest......and by your face, he looks like you." His eyes widened. "Really??? What are you trying to imply???" "He's not you. He's my next door neighbor. And......he's a......" "Tell me, dear. I'll believe you." "He's a vampire." you say, covering your face.

He didn't laugh at you nor didn't say that he doesn't believe you. Apparently, he knew who this person was. "If you say that he was a 'vampire', is this name familiar to you?" You look at his face. "Is it...Jerry Dandridge?" Your eyes widened and you nodded. "You know who he is???" "I know him by his looks, but not in person. That foolish boy...so he was the one who did all these horrific things to you. I really wish you could've came with me. But if he's really that dangerous, I don't blame you. My advice would be to run as far away from that little ninny."

Not long, you heard someone calling your name from the distance. "(Y/N)! (Y/N)! Did you find any special fruits yet?" 'Oh no, I can't let Billy see me with him.' "Who is that?" You looked at him and talk very low. "That's Jerry's roommate. You need to go before he sees us. If he see us together, he'll tell him and I'll get in serious trouble for it. By the way, my name's (Y/N)." He nodded at you. "Hopefully, we'll see each other again, darling. So long." He gives you a soft smile then turns to leave.

You smiled a bit as you watched him walking further down. You saw two peaches on the ground and picked them up. "Ah, (Y/N)! Have you found a special fruit?" "Well...all I found was two peaches. Did you found any, Billy?" "Well, all I found was strawberries. Hahaha."

You picked up your basket. "Come on, let's go home."
