Description

    The day Blackhaven Institution a house for orphaned children and unwanted infants burned to the ground mysteriously, the souls of those trapped inside became corrupted by an unknown evil that warped them into demons that now dwell in an alternate Blackhaven Institution. There they await those who are dragged into this alternate world by the unknown evil through sleep. Below is the updated profile and backstory for the demon "Jack In The Box" from the Orphan Wing of the alternate Blackhaven Institution, this demon was featured in Blackhaven Encounter story #8 pyramiddhead.deviantart.com/ar…

    Jack was a very antsy and nervous child. An easy target for some of the bullies in the orphan wing as he was easily startled and always overreacted. Three children in particular took advantage of this fact to get a good laugh out of it. James, Gunter, and Samuel were the names of these children, they always try to find new ways to startle and torment Jack. It was the day of an event being held for the children that these three bullies discovered Jack's weakness. The staff hired a clown to entertain the children with magic tricks and jokes. Though many children enjoyed the clown's ridiculous antics there was a few who were scared of the clown and kept their distance. Though out of these children it was Jack who was the most fearful, huddling near a nurse and hiding his face in her blouse crying. The three bullies noticed this and laughed amongst themselves, they never seen Jack so afraid. The clown didn't bother James or Gunter but Samuel seemed to be off and tried to stay in the back of the crowd of children surrounding the clown. One day while in the play room Gunter found an old Jack in the box hidden in a pile of toys. Gunter noticed a picture of a clown on its lid and then brought it to James and Samuel who were making fun of the way Jack was playing with a toy soldier. The three fiddled with the box in the corner of the room and turned its lever. After a short jingle a clown sprung out which startled them slightly but it made Samuel fall back and shout, they just laughed it off. Turning their heads toward Jack they deviously stared him down and then huddled together devising a plan. Though there was a staff member always supervising in the play room, every once in a while she would take a brief break and stand outside the room to chat with the nurses. The three bullies saw this moment as an opportunity and when the time came took advantage of it. Samuel and James came up from behind Jack and forced him into a corner. They grabbed Jack's arms and held him down as Gunter came with the box and an impish smile on his face. Turning the lever the jingle played and Jack became very nervous, trying to struggle free. Noticing the picture of the clown on the box Jack's eyes significantly widened and he began to panic. Out of the box sprung out the clown! Jack howled and flailed as the three boys laughed manically. The nurse rushed back into the room because of the commotion and the three bullies were caught. After being briefly disciplined the bullies stole the box from the room. They used every opportunity they could to torment Jack with it, but it was eventually confiscated by a nurse.

    While the three bullies had laughs over this, Jack suffered from terrible recurring nightmares which only had occurred for a brief period of time when Jack was first brought into the institution. They would begin the same as always, Jack would be at his old neighbor's Sally's birthday party. There wasn't a huge turn out and it would be just him, Sally, and two other children. Jack would be running around having fun playing with Sally until her mom told everyone to gather around. The atmosphere would then begin to change... A birthday clown appears from Sally's house, his eyes fixated on Jack as he prances around the children. At this point the sound would slowly fade into silence and the surroundings fade into darkness. But these times it was different and the sound was replaced with the jingle from the Jack in the box. After a sometime the scene changed and Jack found himself inside Sally's house. Trapped in the bathroom everything around him appeared to move in slow motion. When the jingle ended the clown sprung in through the door with a distorting face. After Jack's vision turned black...the clown's voiced echoed around as Jack felt a sharp pain between his leg followed by a moist sensation riding along his cheek. Jack would then instantly wake up screaming in a sweat and have to be calmed down by a nurse.

    On the day of the fire Jack was trapped in the playroom along with a few other children including James, Gunter, and Samuel. Circling and screaming around the room, their flesh danced with the flames...Jack perished first. After the moment pain faded, it was replaced by a darkness, the corruption...After the end none of it felt real. Jack was able to open his eye,around him a room with no doors, no windows, and dark stained walls. Feeling a hand on his shoulder he looked to the side, noticing it was pale white. With an ear piercing scream the demon formed and awoken...The Jack In The Box. This demon is found only in the toy room of the Orphan Wing in the alternate Blackhaven Institution. When encountering this demon your are trapped in this room, with no escape the only option is to fight. Suspended in the air is the demon, in the large deteriorating jack in a box is the corrupted face of Jack. His eyes are closed and distress riddled on his face. Jester like legs protrude out of the bottom of the box and three heads reveal themselves from behind it. These three heads with the faces of James, Gunter, and Samuel extend out of a large dark fleshy mass attached to the back of the box. With their faces revealed the encounter starts with the lever of the box turning and the jingle echoing the decrepit room. The demon and its three heads follow your every move and spit an acidic black liquid at you for the duration of the jingle. Once the jingle ends Jack's face with spring awake and the lid of the box bursts open revealing the clown hidden inside, Samuel's head to the right will retreat behind the box. Once the clown is out it will go into a frenzy with its long tongue to constrict and its sharp claws shredding up anything in the area in front it. This is accompanied  by the howling shrieks emitting from Jack's panicked face. This happens very sudden and must be avoided at all cost. While in this state the demon no longer moves and is vulnerable in its back. You must doge the frenzy of the clown and destroy the weak spot on its back to end this horror for good...
