Jack was on his bed and he was so scared he hid his whole head under his pillow!
'Please! Leave me be!' he said, frantically.
'I am not going anywhere,' Sir Kreep replied hauntingly.
'Why are you doing this?' said Jack on the point of tears.
'Because you need to be taught a lesson... Actions have consequences! Have you never learned this rule before, boy? Well you are about to learn it and learn it well...'
'But I haven't done anything wrong!'
'You are a tyrant killer and a killer of innocence...'
'No! That was me playing a character in a video game! None of it was real!'
'It was real to the people inside the game,' Sir Kreep returned. 'You will learn that as well very soon...'
'I beg you not to do this to me!'
'It is happening and there is nothing you can do to stop me from doing what I have to do to you...'
'I don't deserve this!' cried Jack.
'O yes you do, boy.'
'I will do anything if you just leave me alone! I just want my old life back!'
'Fine. I will leave you alone. But on one condition...' said Sir Kreep. 'Are you listening?' he pressed on. 'Yes? Good! This is what you must do! You must leave your bedroom and make friends with people in the real world! So long as you are on your own I will haunt you without mercy! It is time for you to get out there and make friends!'
***
Jack left his room to find his Mum.
Like always she didn't want anything to do with him!
So there was Jack's first plan to find company up in smoke!
'You will have to do better than that!' said Sir Kreep who was hiding in the cupboard under the stairs. 'You need to leave the house. You need to find friends. You need to socialise! It is the only way to be free of me!'
'But I don't know how to make friends!' Jack replied nervously.
'The you need to learn, boy.'
'I beg you to leave me alone to live my life in peace!'
'There were plenty of peasants who begged you to leave them be back when you were the king. Did you leave them alone? I bet you didn't,' said Sir Kreep menacingly. 'I bet you tortured them didn't you? I bet you made their lives a misery? Well now it is my time to return the favour to thee, King Jack!'
Jack was so terrified of Sir Kreep he almost felt like passing out!
Jack began to feel the tremors of a panic attack hurtling towards him like a speeding train!
'You better get out there and start talking to people, Jack,' said Sir Kreep. 'You hold back and collapse or go to sleep and well I will drag you right back to that wee dungeon in your kingdom where we first met. I am happy for us to continue our talks in the dungeon,' said Sir Kreep in a nasty grim little voice.
Jack ran out of the front door screaming in horror!
It was late in the evening. The streets were empty. Sir Kreep was still following... taunting...
Jack was never to be free of him!
Then Jack saw a couple of people walking by they were probably heading off for drinks.
Jack ran up to them waving his arms in the air!
'Please stop!' he said to them. 'Let me join you! I am good company when you get to know me I promise!'
The people laughed at him and walked on!
And so Jack was left alone again with Sir Kreep.
'You better start making friends, Jack boy,' said Sir Kreep tauntingly. 'Otherwise you will have no choice but to deal with me. Fancy accompanying me on a journey back to the dungeon?'
Jack screamed with horror and ran down the street like a madman!
He was looking for anyone, anyone or someone just to stay with so that Sir Kreep would go away!
Eventually he found the right man...
A local homeless man named Pete.
Pete was lying in his sleeping back with his back against the wall of the old local market shop and he was holding an empty bottle of whiskey. Jack huddled next to Pete. 'Let me keep you company!' said Jack to Pete. Pete, usually grateful for a kind word or a bit of attention punched Jack in the face and shouted at him gruffly saying, 'Get away from me you weirdo twat!'
Jack was too scared to leave Pete. Pete was better company than Sir Kreep.
Pete was eventually left with no option but to get up and walk away with his few things (his sleeping bag and empty bottle...)
Pete could see that Jack was following him.
Pete grew massively angry. 'I am done with you boy,' he said and he kicked Jack in the shins and ran away.
Jack was left reeling on the ground in pain.
Jack was alone again. Alone in the street with Sir Kreep.
'Not making many friends are you, Jack boy?' said Sir Kreep. 'Well. You have got me I guess!'
'Will you never leave me be?' said Jack to the following shadow fiend.
'Not until you make friends,' said Sir Kreep.
Jack stood up and ran away screaming into the shadows!
Could Jacks sad little life get anymore horrible? O yes it most certainly could!
