Inner Raige – Christmas Prison Slasher Horror

WEBVTT

1
00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:05.719
Prisons do a decent job of keeping
people in, but do they do just

2
00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:11.240
as good a job of keeping people
out? A certain prisoner named Rage Devereaux

3
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:15.960
has a lot of enemies on the
outside, and some of them have decided

4
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:24.000
to climb down the chimney to deliver
their own Christmas fear and murder. What's

5
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:37.759
that You want to be scared?
Come with me. You will experience tales

6
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:44.359
over opera, ghosts and death.
It is not recommended at the foot of

7
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:52.920
week at Heart listeners in the dark, it's more fun at that way way.

8
00:00:53.479 --> 00:01:06.599
This is Weekly speaking. Hello,
my spookies. It's Saturday, and

9
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:14.079
it's almost Christmas, and tonight I
have the last of the bonus spookies for

10
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:18.079
the holiday season, and this one, this is one I've been looking forward

11
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:22.079
to for quite a while, and
I have a feeling many of you would

12
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:30.040
agree. Tonight marks the return of
Rage Devereaux. That's right, the Angel

13
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:38.200
of Death, Strickfield's most prolific serial
killer of serial killers. Rage has now

14
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.799
been placed in the penitentiary, but
on this Christmas night, very few are

15
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:47.760
truly penitent. But before we get
to that, I just want to say

16
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:52.040
thank you so much for allowing me
to be a little part of your holiday

17
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:57.200
festivities, allowing me to entertain you
while you're working hard to get your holiday

18
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:01.000
ready to go, whether you're working
a job or preparing your home or traveling.

19
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:06.879
I'm happy to be in your ears
with some holiday cheers and of course

20
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:10.159
fears. So thank you so much

00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.719
very beginning over three years ago.
But now, my friends, I can't

33
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:09.879
wait anymore. It's time for the
return of rage Ah. After these quick

34
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:30.800
work Inner Rage by Rob Fields Chapter
one, Christmas Eve is here again.

35
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:38.360
Only this year and the many others
that follow I'll be spending it at glen

36
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:44.240
View Correctional Facility, which is located
just a short drive from North Ridgeway.

37
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:51.080
This place has been my home ever
since I turned myself in shortly after bringing

38
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:58.039
down the Queen of Hearts serial killer. You see, I was also a

39
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:04.000
serial killer, the Angel of Death. Keep in mind I never referred to

40
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:10.000
myself as that. It was simply
what the media called me, mainly because

41
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:16.439
I only killed people who I believe
deserved to die, like high profile criminals

42
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:23.639
and other serial killers. I might
still be a serial killer today if I

43
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:30.000
hadn't met Detective Drake Kasmarak. Drake
seemingly came to Strickfield, where I was

44
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:34.519
attending university at the time, to
fill a detective opening that his uncle had

45
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:40.720
in the police department. In truth, Drake was in Strickfield to find and

46
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:46.079
capture me. Drake had done much
homework and determined I was in that very

47
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:50.519
village. Shortly after he arrived at
the station, I showed up at the

48
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:57.240
request of Chief Jeffrey Kasmarak. I
was a police intern and assigned to Drake.

49
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.240
I believe it was right then and
there that Drake fell madly in love

50
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:06.360
with me. At the time,
I couldn't feel emotions, but I knew

51
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:13.040
there was an ulterior motive for his
being in Strickfield. As Drake mentored me

52
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:17.279
during my off campus hours, I
decided to take my mentor as my new

53
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:24.720
mate and applied myself to being his
perfect girlfriend. Little did he realize that

54
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:30.360
the serial killer he was looking for
was right under his nose and in his

55
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:35.319
bed. Why was Drake determined to
capture me? Years ago, during my

56
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:41.079
time in high school, I had
killed a former North Ridgeway High teacher named

57
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:46.759
Annie Judge. She was prostituting herself
and selling drugs to my fellow students,

58
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:53.600
even underaged kids. When a girl
turned up missing and I discovered she was

59
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:59.959
dead, I trapped Annie Judge and
ended her. Little did I realize that

60
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:04.319
but this particular kill would come back
to haunt me in the form of Drake,

61
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:11.199
who was Annie's former lover. Maybe
Drake wanted to fall in love with

62
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:15.800
me, and maybe he didn't.
I've never asked him this. Even though

63
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:18.600
I was putting myself in danger of
him discovering me being a serial killer,

64
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:23.800
I chose to be with him,
knowing that he was a good man.

65
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:30.160
Choosing to remain with Drake was what
ultimately became my undoing as a serial killer.

66
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:33.720
Drake loved me so much that he
wanted to marry me, to which

67
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:40.160
I accepted his proposal. The Queen
of Heart's killer had a personal vendetta with

68
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:45.360
me and let me know she wanted
to finish a prior conflict from before.

69
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:50.160
I was ready to kill Rigby Brewster, the Queen of Hearts, but Drake

70
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:56.079
begged and pleaded with me not to
end her. It was in that one

71
00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:00.000
moment that he took me in his
arms and kissed me. It was that

72
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:06.639
one magical moment, that one triggering
event I waited my whole life for Drake

73
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:13.560
had finally caused me to feel the
very emotions I had longed for. In

74
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:17.160
that moment, I knew I loved
Drake the same way he loved me.

75
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:24.160
Even though Drake had finally found the
person who had killed any judge, he

76
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:29.079
couldn't forsake me. He still wanted
to marry me. I can swear by

77
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:31.959
it that Drake is one of the
most honest cops you'll ever meet. He

78
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:36.279
was always by the book on everything, even when he was mentoring me in

79
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:43.959
my university years. But this one
time, Drake was willing to look the

80
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:48.879
other way, not just because he
loved me, but because I never killed

81
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:55.519
innocent people or children. The problem
with that, however, was that my

82
00:07:55.639 --> 00:08:01.560
new emotions came back on me.
I had a horrible nightmare of me killing

83
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:07.480
some random person the way I've done
so many hundreds of killers and criminals before.

84
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:13.360
That was when I told Drake to
arrest me, even though it hurt

85
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.319
him deep to have to do it. He read me my rights and took

86
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:22.439
me to the station. I confessed
to being the Angel of Death to Chief

87
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.680
Cosmarak. I was found guilty at
my trial and sentenced to life here at

88
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:33.159
the glen View Correctional Facility. However, I wouldn't be placed with the general

89
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:39.440
population. My mama. Detective Chantell
Devereaux and Drake both had influence on account

90
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.279
of their reputations as detectives, and
went to bat for me. It was

91
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:50.000
decided that I could have certain privileges
in return for my services. I would

92
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.279
help solve cases when they were presented
to me. Because of my highly photographic

93
00:08:54.360 --> 00:09:01.120
memory. I was a great service
in this aspect. Plus I think like

94
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:07.519
a killer. I'm in my very
own special cell, which gives me many

95
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.639
of the comforts of home. It's
kind of like having a little apartment,

96
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:16.360
except I can't always come and go
when I please. I do get to

97
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.200
go outside, but I'm all by
myself and am constantly watched by the guards.

98
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.480
Mama and Drake can both come visit
me anytime they want. I've even

99
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:31.519
had visits from both Chief Kasmarak and
Chief Montgomery Cobbs, my mom's boss.

100
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:37.399
You'd think i'd be regretting turning myself
in here's the irony, though I don't.

101
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:43.360
I've been at peace ever since I
got locked up. The only thing

102
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:48.320
that really hurts is Drake. I
couldn't even begin to tell you how many

103
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.200
times I've told him to forget about
me and find someone else who would be

104
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:58.080
better suited for him. But he
will not turn away from me. In

105
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.639
fact, he still wants to marry
me, even though I'm in glen View

106
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.840
for the rest of my life.
Drake still won't give me up. Every

107
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.480
so often, he proposes to me
again and wants to give me back my

108
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:16.120
engagement ring that I returned to him
once he arrested me. My problem here

109
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:20.120
is that Drake challenges me to look
him in the eyes and tell him I

110
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.639
want him out of my life.
If I can just tell him that,

111
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.720
he'll respect my wishes and never come
back. But every time I try,

112
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.639
I burst into tears and clutch him
to me. Mama told me that you

113
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:39.279
can't just turn emotions on and off. I hate when she's right. So

114
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:46.200
Drake and I are still together.
Like I said, it's Christmas Eve.

115
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:50.279
I'm sitting in my cell visiting with
Mama. She's proud of me for having

116
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:56.200
helped solve some heavy cases in the
last month. Unfortunately, Mama won't be

117
00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:01.399
able to spend the night with me
since she's on duty. She said she'd

118
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:07.080
be back in the afternoon for Christmas. I told her I'd be okay since

119
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.799
Drake was coming and would be spending
the night with me. After Mama and

120
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:18.039
I wish each other Merry Christmas.
She leaves. Now it's just me and

121
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:28.840
the guard at her station. Chapter
two. Chessie Carver has been one of

122
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.720
the guards assigned to sit outside my
cell since I was first placed in here.

123
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:35.639
At first, she didn't know what
to make of me, but in

124
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:41.799
time we started talking to each other. We came to build trust and understanding

125
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:46.519
between us. In fact, it's
getting close to the evening when Drake shows

126
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:50.840
up and sees us playing chess.
When he sees me pondering my next move,

127
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:56.000
he asks me if I'm okay.
I look up at him. This

128
00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:01.360
is what I get for teaching Chessie
everything I know about check yes. Drake

129
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:07.879
watches us finish our game. Chessie
beats me barely. After I congratulate her

130
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.759
on a game well played, she
leaves my cell and returns to her station.

131
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:16.240
Of course, she locks Drake and
I in. Drake again makes my

132
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:22.759
emotions rise when he lays a huge
bag of Denoyer's grill down on the table.

133
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.399
I told you i'd bring you something
wonderful for dinner, Drake reminds me.

134
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:33.120
I start to cry a little when
I smell those delicious pancakes and the

135
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:39.360
burghers. Wow, everything's still warm. You must have floored it from Denoyers

136
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.600
all the way here. What did
you do turn on the siren when you

137
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:46.720
left there? Drake laughs, No, Actually, there weren't too many people

138
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.799
on the road on Christmas Eve.
I look at the clock and see it's

139
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:56.320
around six by now. Many people
are probably home or with family and friends

140
00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:01.080
to enjoy Christmas Eve. Having here
with me makes me glad I don't have

141
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:07.679
to spend tonight or tomorrow alone.
Before I never really cared whether I was

142
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:13.679
alone or not, not when I
didn't have feelings. You okay, rage,

143
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:20.559
Drake asks, yeah. I quickly
reply I'm fine. We look at

144
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.679
each other for a little bit.
Then Drake moves and sets the table.

145
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.960
When he's done, he's laid out
a nice feast of breakfast and dinner foods.

146
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:35.120
Dig in, Drake invites me.
Chessie gets up and leaves for a

147
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.759
little bit. Normally she's not supposed
to do that, but she kind of

148
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:43.799
makes it a point when Drake and
I are together like this. She's heard

149
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:48.320
us talking to each other before and
hasn't heard anything taboo. She's even been

150
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.399
there when we've made out. I've
even told her I'm not the least bit

151
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:58.600
bothered by her. Still, she
gives us alone time at times, Drake

152
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:03.879
and I have our Denoyer's grill feast
and talk about whatever. Drake again thanks

153
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.960
me for all I do with helping
the police force in spite of my current

154
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:13.960
situation. Drake and I finish eating. I clear off the table and throw

155
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:18.639
away the trash. Before I can
sit down, Drake takes hold of my

156
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:22.759
wrist and eases me to sit on
his lap. We look at each other

157
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:26.559
for a long moment before we have
some kisses. Since Drake will be spending

158
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:31.240
the night with me tonight, I
can't wait until we can be intimate.

159
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:33.840
The more we kiss, the more
I'm finding it hard to be able to

160
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:39.919
wait. Eventually, we do stop
so we can catch our breaths. I

161
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:45.600
love you, he tells me.
I close my eyes and bow my head

162
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:48.440
a little. I still say you
could do so much better than me.

163
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:54.759
He puts his finger under my chin
and raises my head back up. I

164
00:14:54.799 --> 00:15:01.200
open my eyes and look into his
Just tell me to my face, just

165
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:05.039
say it and mean it, and
I'll leave you right now. Once again,

166
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.159
he's challenging me. I don't even
get to have another attempt. When

167
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:15.000
I feel the tears on my face. When Drake holds me, I can't

168
00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:20.279
help holding him back. You deserve
better, I persist. When I finish

169
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.919
crying, Drake has the engagement ring
out again again. I try to tell

170
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:28.960
Drake to leave me and never look
back, but the tears come more than

171
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:35.080
ever. It hurts more and more
each time, thinking of a life without

172
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:41.000
Drake. I don't care that you're
in here rage, Drake tells me again,

173
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:45.919
like he's told me so many times
before, I can come see you

174
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:50.240
whenever I want. I can even
stay with you. We should be living

175
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:54.519
together in our own place, not
here in prison. I tell him I

176
00:15:54.559 --> 00:16:00.279
don't care where we are. He
insists, You'll always have me in your

177
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:04.600
life. I'm never letting you go. I quickly get off Drake's lap and

178
00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:10.440
tighten my fists. But what will
your family say about you marrying a serial

179
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:15.639
killer? I told you how many
lives I've taken. Drake gets up to

180
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:21.039
confront me. I don't care what
my family says. I only care about

181
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:26.799
you. I really tighten my fists
now. I won't let you throw away

182
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:32.240
your life on me, Drake.
I feel myself really shaking now. I'm

183
00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:36.679
practically sobbing, just as I'm about
to scream for him to leave me.

184
00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:44.720
I fall to my knees. Drake
lowers himself and comforts me, as he's

185
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:49.639
also done so many times before.
Am I really so scared of losing him?

186
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:56.519
Yes, I'm reminded of that again
when we're kissing. I can't wait

187
00:16:56.559 --> 00:17:00.679
any longer. It's when I hear
Chessi fastening the law on my cell that

188
00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:06.559
she knows we need our alone time. It's once we hear her leave and

189
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:11.799
lock that door behind her that we
quickly work to get each other's clothes off.

190
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:23.960
You're not safe yet, weekly Spooky
will be right back. Chapter three,

191
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:30.359
Drake and I are spooned up together
under the covers and watching TV.

192
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:34.759
I can't help looking at the engagement
ring again. He placed it on my

193
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:40.519
finger and challenged me to take it
off. It feels so wrong on so

194
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:45.000
many levels, But at the same
time, I know I can never remove

195
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:49.960
it. I know I truly belong
to him. You're going straight to hell

196
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:55.799
with me. I tell him,
you know that right, If that's where

197
00:17:55.839 --> 00:18:00.680
we're getting married, then I accept. He tells me again. Then we

198
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:06.440
get dressed and sit with each other. After a time, Chessie comes back

199
00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:11.200
in and unlocks my cell. When
I look to her for an explanation.

200
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:15.480
She reminds me that I'm allowed my
time to leave my cell. Drake's allowed

201
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:21.160
to take me to the rooms designated
my free spaces. While other prisoners here

202
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:25.279
can access these rooms during their times, they're not supposed to know when I'm

203
00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:29.960
even here. That's why I have
my own private area and don't have a

204
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:34.079
cellmate. Also, I can access
rooms like the library because the other prisoners

205
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:37.720
are locked up for the night.
As long as Drake or Mama is with

206
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:42.279
me, a guard doesn't always have
to be. Drake and I head into

207
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:47.440
the library and sit again. He
tells me he wants to marry me.

208
00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:51.720
I tell him he knows my answer. Since I can't bring myself to remove

209
00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:57.039
the ring, I look at it
again. I'll go straight to hell with

210
00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:03.799
you, he promises me, taking
and holding my hands. Nothing is ever

211
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.960
going to separate us, not even
this prison. I squeeze his hands back.

212
00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:12.359
I truly do want better for him, but my emotions won't let me

213
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:18.039
lose him. I love him way
too much. However, Drake and I

214
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:23.119
were about to have our love put
to the test this very night. The

215
00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:27.200
test was about to start. Once
we got up and started walking around the

216
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:32.799
safe rooms again. We walk out
into one of the hallways and head to

217
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:36.799
the little theater. We go in
and head up to the projection booth to

218
00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:40.920
see what we can watch together.
Drake and I have watched movies in here

219
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:45.039
together before. He tells me he's
found a good Christmas movie for us to

220
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:49.440
watch and puts it in as soon
as he turns the digital projector on.

221
00:19:51.519 --> 00:20:00.000
That's when the terror begins. Chapter
four. Drake reaches when he sees me

222
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:06.319
bent over the body of Sherman Biggs
near the screen, one of the older

223
00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:11.480
guards I got along with. We
had many conversations in the library on nights

224
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:15.519
careful rage. Drake warns me,
don't let the other guards here see,

225
00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:21.240
or you can vouch for me.
I remind him quickly, look at these.

226
00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:26.920
I point to the two puncture marks
on Sherman's neck. This would explain

227
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.319
why the body's pale. When Drake
looks at me, I can tell he

228
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:34.079
really doesn't want to believe it.
Oh, if Mama saw the look on

229
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:38.319
his face right now, she'd be
given him. Hell, why won't you

230
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:44.559
believe? I ask? You've seen
vampires for yourself, Drake, Mama and

231
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:48.160
I have both proven to you they're
real. You were with us the night

232
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:52.759
we took down Sheranda Thorn. You've
seen vampires with your own two eyes.

233
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:56.799
Drake seems to be at a loss
for words. I groan, annoyed at

234
00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:03.240
his continued disbelief. If Mama was
here right now, she'd slap you upside

235
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:07.960
the head. Now he's giving me
that look. I know Drake's never been

236
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:12.279
comfortable around Mama. He's endured her
for my sake. I point to Drake,

237
00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:18.559
you stay close to me, stay
close to you. You're not even

238
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:23.359
armed. Rage Drake counters, pulling
his gun. He's right looking around.

239
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:26.759
I can't pick up any of the
chairs and break them for stakes, since

240
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:32.799
they're all metal and attached to the
floor. Suddenly I have an idea.

241
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:38.240
I grab Drake's hand. Let's go, Rage Drake protests. I lead Drake

242
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:42.599
through one room after another until we
come into the chapel. Fortunately, this

243
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:48.880
supposedly holy place is open twenty four
to seven. I pull open the door

244
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:53.039
and we both gasp. There's blood
all over the altar, from the priest

245
00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:59.400
who's hanging from the large cross overshadowing
it. I had a feeling you would

246
00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:06.119
come here of Eventually Reagan Devereux,
a feminine voice calls out. We look

247
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:10.480
to see the telltale woman getting up
from one of the pews and turning to

248
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:15.759
face us. She looks like she's
in her early forties. I can see

249
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:21.319
the facial features and immediately know who
this woman is related to. Yes,

250
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:26.680
you recognize me, do you not? Then? She chuckles, You remember

251
00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:33.240
my daughter whom you destroyed. Your
mother took my son. However, Sherandah

252
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:38.519
was my favorite. Maximilian was a
fool. It was no wonder that he

253
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:45.720
died, She points to me.
But you you killed my daughter, and

254
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:52.319
I must now rectify that by killing
you. She smiles wickedly. And the

255
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:57.960
man you love, She holds her
hands outward. Naturally, you came here

256
00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:03.720
to seek weapons to fight us with. When she sees the look on my

257
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:08.359
face, she knows she's got the
upper hand. You did not think I

258
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:14.359
would come to this prison alone.
Oh, I will battle with you myself.

259
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:18.359
I just needed my minions to make
sure it would be just the two

260
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:22.160
of us. There are no other
guards here to help you. Now,

261
00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:29.119
she raises her finger, and you
need not worry about the prisoners. They

262
00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:34.799
shall remain locked in their cells.
Ah, here they are now. Now

263
00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:41.400
I see there are other vampires emerging
from their hiding places. Their hissing noises

264
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:44.920
and their red eyes tell me,
Drake and I are going to have our

265
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:49.599
hands full. Have you taken care
of every last guard? Here? The

266
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:56.880
thorn woman asks, we have one
of the answers. Excellent. Then she

267
00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:02.519
looks back at me. I shall
play a little game, you and I.

268
00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:07.480
Suddenly she appears right in front of
me and knocks me on my ass.

269
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:11.400
When Drake raises his gun, she
snatches it from him and crushes it,

270
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:18.119
much to his horror and disbelief.
Next, she grabs Drake and tosses

271
00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:23.920
him to her minions. They grab
him and keep him with them. When

272
00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:27.319
I get up, the woman is
in my face. Now. I could

273
00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:33.480
easily kill you right now, but
that would be far too easy. Miranda

274
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:38.559
would never want me to kill you
easily. No, I taught her to

275
00:24:38.599 --> 00:24:45.319
be more ruthless than that. Oh, where are my manners? I know

276
00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:48.839
your name, but you need to
know mine. I believe you must know

277
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:56.680
I am a Thorn, but you
may call me Noranda. When she sees

278
00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:00.839
me looking uneasily at Drake, she
turns my attention and back to her.

279
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:06.279
You need not worry about your lover, Reagan, She addresses her minions.

280
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:11.920
Under no circumstances are any of you
to harm that mortal in any way.

281
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:18.759
He is to be the prize in
our contest. Am I understood? When

282
00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:22.680
I hear the minions agree to her
commands, Miranda turns her attention back to

283
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:29.000
me. Here are the rules of
our contest. I shall give you a

284
00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:33.680
fifteen minute head start. From there, I shall hunt you down myself.

285
00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:40.559
My underlings will keep your lover safe
and secure. You have until the end

286
00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:45.319
of Christmas Eve, just under three
hours. If you're still alive at the

287
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:52.359
stroke of midnight, or in the
unlikely event that you and me, both

288
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:57.880
you and your lover have earned your
freedom and your lives. However, when

289
00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:03.279
I find and destroy you, then
my reward shall be both a vengeance for

290
00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:10.839
my daughter, and I shall lay
claim to your lover by siring him and

291
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:18.000
making him my new husband. Then, Miranda laughs coldly. The fear on

292
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:22.640
both of you is so ripe I
can practically taste it on my own tongue.

293
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:29.559
She points to the clock. Your
fifteen minute head start begins. Now,

294
00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:34.160
if I were you, Reagan,
I'd be taking every advantage of that

295
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:40.440
time. I have no choice.
Fortunately, I know enough about glen View

296
00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:45.519
to have an advantage over these blood
sucking freaks. I just know I have

297
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:52.519
to save Drake. I turn around
and run out of the chapel. Chapter

298
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:56.599
five. It doesn't take me long
to find some tools to help me.

299
00:26:57.359 --> 00:27:02.720
I came across a few of the
body of the guards. Naranda wasn't lying

300
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:07.240
when she said her minions took them
all down. They're all pale, which

301
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:11.839
means they were drained of their blood. I find keys and key cards on

302
00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:15.039
the first guard. On the next
one, I find a gun and take

303
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.480
it. I won't be able to
use it against Aranda or any of the

304
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:22.759
other vampires, but it's better to
have a gun than have nothing at all.

305
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:27.160
I won't let Naranda take me unarmed. If I go down against her,

306
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:32.680
then I'm going down knowing I was
fighting. I've been counting the time

307
00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:37.119
in my mind. So far I
haven't seen her. When I come into

308
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:41.160
the gymnasium, I see the big
clock on the middle wall and see Naranda

309
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:45.759
has kept her word. I've got
one minute left before she'll start pursuing me.

310
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:51.799
I'm shaking as I'm trying to keep
my focus. I've never gotten used

311
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:56.039
to the feeling of fear. I
hate to admit it, but I'm really

312
00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:00.200
scared. I'm scared that Nearanda will
kill me, but I'm more afraid she'll

313
00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:04.759
make good on her promise to Drake. The fifteen minutes are up. Now,

314
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:11.680
Neranda lets me know when I hear
the long shrill whistle. Hard to

315
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:15.119
believe that vampire kept her word.
I'll have to consider the possibility that she

316
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:19.319
may be a master vampire. If
she is, then I'll have to both

317
00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:23.960
stake her and cut her head off. Then. I remember telling Drake how

318
00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:29.640
Mama would have slapped him upside the
head for his disbelief. Mama would give

319
00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:33.079
me hell if she knew I wasn't
thinking straight and not calling upon the lessons

320
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:40.440
about vampires and other supernatural beings she
taught me. No, Mama's not going

321
00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:42.960
to find my dead body. I'm
not going to let Mama down again,

322
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:48.480
not like this. Mama taught me
better than that. I'm not going to

323
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:52.319
let the man I love down either. I may not have the bloodlust anymore,

324
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:59.839
but that doesn't count against vampires.
They're already dead. I still have

325
00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:04.240
my highly photographic memory. I still
remember each and every kill I've ever done,

326
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:08.599
how they died, what date,
and what I destroyed them for.

327
00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:15.440
I remember everything Mama taught me regarding
the supernatural. My mind is how I'll

328
00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:19.359
destroy you, Neranda. Just as
I'm contemplating a plan, I hear some

329
00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:22.240
clacking on the floor. As I
reach the end of a long haul,

330
00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:29.839
I turn and see a large wolf
looking right at me and know it's Neranda.

331
00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:33.839
She changed into a wolf and tracked
me down by my scent. The

332
00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:38.640
wolf growls and runs swiftly towards me. I'm ready to turn and run,

333
00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:45.359
but I don't have to do I. In that moment, I lose my

334
00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:49.599
fear and look right at Miranda as
she's closing the gap between us. I've

335
00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:55.640
got grim determination now and know how
I'm winning this round. That's it,

336
00:29:55.759 --> 00:30:00.240
Queenie, just keep on coming.
I'll show you how I've dealt with bad

337
00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:04.519
dogs. In fact, a very
bad dog was my first kill. A

338
00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:10.680
very bad dog was how I learned
I was a serial killer. Just as

339
00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:14.160
Miranda is ready to leap up and
at me, I drop my gun and

340
00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:18.680
suddenly snatch her and drive her right
to the floor. Just as Quickly,

341
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:22.559
she springs back to her feet and
bites me on the wrist. Even though

342
00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:26.960
I no longer have my bloodlust,
I still feel very little pain. This

343
00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:32.119
is a double edged sword for me. I just told you the positive side.

344
00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:36.000
The negative is that I can become
injured and not know it, which

345
00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:41.039
means I can potentially bleed to death. Now I'm mad. Wow, I

346
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:47.000
really love being mad. I'm wishing
I could have felt this emotion much sooner.

347
00:30:47.319 --> 00:30:51.240
I'm so mad right now that I
roar Andy kick Neranda harden her chest

348
00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:55.680
enough to make her break her hold
on my wrist. While she's stunned,

349
00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:59.319
I lower myself to take hold of
the back of her head and her muzzle,

350
00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:07.359
and had hard enough to hear her
neck break Nearanda yelps and goes limp.

351
00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:12.160
No, I haven't defeated her,
but I have temporarily stunned her and

352
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:18.640
bought myself a little time. I
spring and slide the door shut before I

353
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:22.680
run again. I know these doors
are sealed enough to prevent smoke from penetrating

354
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:29.079
them, which happened many years ago
when prisoners got loose and rioted. This

355
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:32.799
was long before I was born.
By the way, Also, Mama was

356
00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:37.920
at university and wasn't in North Ridgeway
around that time. I'm already concocting another

357
00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:42.759
plan and am finalizing the details when
I hear the sliding door give way.

358
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:48.240
Nearanda had to have returned to her
human form after she healed from her neck

359
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:53.160
injury. She either snapped the locks
on the sliding door or she warped past

360
00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:57.759
it. As long as Nearanda can't
see me, she can't warp right to

361
00:31:57.920 --> 00:32:02.960
me. Unfortunately, turning off all
the lights won't help me, since she

362
00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:09.440
has vampire vision. I hear clacking
on the floor again and know she's returned

363
00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:15.240
to her wolf form, likely tracking
my blood this time, precisely what I

364
00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:20.759
was counting on. In fact,
Miranda, I already know how I'm going

365
00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:24.079
to defeat you. At least.
Yes, you kept your word by giving

366
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:29.119
me a fifteen minute head start that
you promised, but that doesn't mean you'll

367
00:32:29.160 --> 00:32:32.440
keep your word about releasing Drake when
I defeat you. And trust me when

368
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:38.480
I say, your punishment shall most
certainly fit the crime. Like I said,

369
00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:45.079
you're dead. Even though I no
longer have my insistent bloodlust commanding me

370
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:50.559
to take lives from before, I
don't have to feel guilty about killing you

371
00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:55.400
since you're not alive. But in
order for me to accomplish my objective and

372
00:32:55.480 --> 00:33:00.400
defeat you and your minions, I
have to get to one specific area of

373
00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:07.039
the prison. It'll be there where
we finish our game. I run down

374
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:10.519
a couple flights of stairs to get
to the ground floor and head to the

375
00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:15.799
laundry room. When I get inside, I quickly remove my clothes underwear too.

376
00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:21.160
First, I take care of my
bites by rinsing them out and using

377
00:33:21.200 --> 00:33:24.240
clean cloths to bandage them. Now, I grab some dirty clothes out of

378
00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:30.880
one of the wash piles and quickly
put them on. These clothes really stink,

379
00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:35.440
but they may be enough to conceal
my own scent. After slipping my

380
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:38.200
feet into shoes, I find I
get out of the laundry room and resume

381
00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:45.000
my destination. A few moments later, I hear a loud, shrill scream

382
00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:50.240
sounds to me like Neranda's lost my
scent. I know I can't gloat too

383
00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:54.400
much. Nearanda knows other ways she
can pick me up again. She's been

384
00:33:54.440 --> 00:34:00.440
a vampire for far too long to
not have other means of detection, including

385
00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:07.960
picking up the smell of my blood
again. Are you afraid? Good?

386
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:20.480
Weekly spooky, We'll be right back. Chapter six. I'm proven right.

387
00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:24.280
When I go to cross through another
hallway, I'm about to shut that sliding

388
00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:30.960
door behind me when I feel Neranda's
close. Suddenly the door comes flying away.

389
00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:37.360
Neranda gasps with either happiness that I'm
giving her a challenge or that she's

390
00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:42.199
finally caught up to me. Who
can say? Please, do not make

391
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:45.480
this easy for me, Reagan,
She says, I still wish to have

392
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:52.360
fun with you. She licks her
lips, and your blood tastes just delicious.

393
00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:57.199
I was hoping I wouldn't have to
use these yet, I tell her,

394
00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:00.400
but you're not leaving me with much
choice. I step up to her.

395
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:05.079
As she's putting her hands on my
arms. I grab the neck of

396
00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:08.679
her form fitting dress and pull it
open to drop what's in my hand inside.

397
00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:14.960
Miranda shrieks and screams when she feels
the holy wafers. I manage to

398
00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:19.639
snap up at the bloody altar burning
her flesh. Both her skin and the

399
00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:23.159
gown are aflame. Since she's going
to have to sort that out, I've

400
00:35:23.199 --> 00:35:27.880
got time to run again. I
don't know how much time I'm going to

401
00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:30.880
have before Nearanda will be back to
hunting me again. I can see the

402
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:36.480
blood from my wrists soaking through my
makeshift bandage. She'll smell that again and

403
00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:39.760
easily pick up the trail. Also, since she got close enough to me,

404
00:35:40.199 --> 00:35:45.400
she'll know the scent of these stinky
clothes. Fortunately, I'm almost where

405
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:49.599
I need to get to. I
reach the women's shower room before I go

406
00:35:49.719 --> 00:35:52.480
in, I quickly get naked and
turn on the water to hear all the

407
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:57.039
nozzles fire up at once. I
walk inside and stand underneath a spray of

408
00:35:57.119 --> 00:36:01.400
steamy water at the back center.
When Nearanda enters and sees me, Oh,

409
00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:06.440
the look of confusion on her face. What is the meaning of this,

410
00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:13.159
Reagan? She asks? Then she
smirks, are you Are you offering

411
00:36:13.199 --> 00:36:19.000
yourself to me to save your lover? Is that what you really think?

412
00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:22.639
I murmur, running my hands from
the front to the rear of my long,

413
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:28.880
wet, dirty blonde hair. She's
really confused now. When I raise

414
00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:31.519
my finger for her to see.
Next, I move my finger to my

415
00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:37.679
neck and trace down in between my
large breasts all the way to my belly

416
00:36:37.679 --> 00:36:45.000
button. Then I trace my finger
across my skin just underneath my breasts.

417
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:50.679
The water continues to spray down on
me as I just stand there and wait

418
00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:54.599
for her. I'm all yours,
Miranda. I tell her, all you

419
00:36:54.679 --> 00:37:00.679
have to do is just join me
in the shower. Then I smirk if

420
00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:06.519
you can. She's still not sure
what I've got in mind, but she

421
00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:10.760
walks towards me. The showers are
wetting her down. It's when she starts

422
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:15.360
to come under my spray that she
suddenly cries out in pain and hisses as

423
00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:21.280
she gets away from me. What
is this, she demands. Then she

424
00:37:21.320 --> 00:37:24.840
tries to come and grab me again. Like before, her skin burns when

425
00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:30.000
the water spraying from my nozzle touches
her. As for me, I'm fine.

426
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:34.320
The water's warm to hot, but
not burning me in the slightest.

427
00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:39.039
In fact, the water feels very
relaxing. Miranda tries grabbing me a couple

428
00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:44.519
more times. In determination. She
warps behind me and wraps her arms around

429
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:47.679
me. I cry out when she
sinks her fangs into me again, this

430
00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:52.400
time at my shoulder. She holds
on for as long as she can as

431
00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:55.360
she drinks from me. I can
actually feel the pain of her fangs in

432
00:37:55.440 --> 00:38:02.079
my flesh, but Why does this
feel so wonderful? I think I love

433
00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:07.239
pain. Miranda can't hold on to
me anymore, since she's in way more

434
00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:10.719
pain from the water than what she's
giving me. She finally lets go and

435
00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:17.079
warps away from my shower. Spray
shit, I'm bleeding again, Neranda glares

436
00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:22.440
at me now, much to my
surprise, she's not the least bit angry

437
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:28.480
with me. Yes, you are
giving me quite the challenge, Reagan Devereux,

438
00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:34.360
She licks her lips. Your blood
is so incredibly delicious. I think

439
00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:38.400
I may just keep you and drink
from you on special occasions. Perhaps you

440
00:38:38.519 --> 00:38:44.320
shall be the special reserve label blood
I drink after I marry your man.

441
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:50.119
I can see the steam coming off
of her burning skin. How are you

442
00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:54.599
able to be safe from me under
your shower? It's not this shower alone,

443
00:38:54.920 --> 00:39:00.480
I inform her, it's any shower
I happen to stand underneath. I

444
00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:04.559
start to close up my chosen vampire
trap. When I leave the nozzle I'm

445
00:39:04.639 --> 00:39:09.800
under and move to another. See
for yourself. Miranda cautiously moves to the

446
00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:15.280
nozzle I was underneath. Sure enough, her skin's not burning under that spray

447
00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:20.920
now. Yet she comes too close
to the spray I'm now underneath, and

448
00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:25.519
her skin is burning again. She
curses me, but is oddly happy at

449
00:39:25.519 --> 00:39:30.320
the same time. I quickly move
to the shower entrance, where there are

450
00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:34.599
two heavy spraying nozzles. I squat
down and make the sign of the Cross

451
00:39:34.599 --> 00:39:37.760
on the floors. There. I
make my way around to each of the

452
00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:43.039
other sprays and make the same sign
underneath them. Noranda tries to stop me,

453
00:39:43.239 --> 00:39:46.440
but has to keep away since the
water's spraying on me is deadly to

454
00:39:46.480 --> 00:39:52.840
her. You think you can just
seal me in here like this, Noranda

455
00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:58.360
yells, exactly. I tell her, every shower nozzle in here is deadly

456
00:39:58.440 --> 00:40:02.320
holy water to you now. In
fact, I even disinfected my wounds with

457
00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:07.639
it. You hurt me, Miranda, but I'm sure my pain's nowhere near

458
00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:10.400
to what you're feeling right now.
In fact, I don't even think you

459
00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:15.800
could turn into mist to be able
to escape my trap. Miranda falls to

460
00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:19.599
her knees. She's not directly under
the nozzles, but the steam is too

461
00:40:19.719 --> 00:40:22.360
much for her. Her skin is
as red as a lobster's shell. She

462
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:27.679
tries to change into a wolf,
then a bat. She howls with pain

463
00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:31.239
before she returns to her human form
and falls flat on her face and chest

464
00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:37.719
on the floor. Now it's time
to prepare her for old time's sake.

465
00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:45.280
Chapter seven, Miranda wakes up and
finds herself secured to a table in the

466
00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:52.039
infirmary. She tries to sit up
and finds she can't move. Like your

467
00:40:52.119 --> 00:40:55.760
daughter before you, I've bound you
with a crucifix. I tell her you're

468
00:40:55.880 --> 00:41:01.320
mine now. Miranda is still badly
burned from being in holy water showers with

469
00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:07.679
me. As for me, I'm
dry now aside from my hair. She

470
00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:12.280
looks up at me now, like
Shiranda Thorn before her, she tries using

471
00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:15.679
her glam on me. Then she
sees my eyes glowing red, the way

472
00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:22.719
Siranda and so many of my other
victims before her have seen. What are

473
00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:28.159
you? Neranda demands, you cannot
possibly be a human woman. I can

474
00:41:28.239 --> 00:41:32.280
feel your evil emitting from your very
eyes. I wonder if I'll ever understand

475
00:41:32.320 --> 00:41:37.159
why my victims think I'm so evil. And then I put my hands on

476
00:41:37.199 --> 00:41:43.719
the pit of my stomach and feel
my familiar passenger. I moan softly,

477
00:41:43.840 --> 00:41:50.199
knowing my bloodlust has returned. Coupled
with my new emotions, It feels just

478
00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:57.039
amazing. I want more than anything
to put Nearanda to death and claim her.

479
00:41:57.679 --> 00:42:00.880
Now, Nearanda sees the plaques playing
the pictures of the dead guards I

480
00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:06.760
found. You and your minions have
killed these people. Many of them had

481
00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:10.400
families who loved them a great deal. I understand your vile nature as a

482
00:42:10.519 --> 00:42:16.400
vampire, but in my eyes,
you're all vicious murderers. You even tried

483
00:42:16.440 --> 00:42:21.480
to take my love from me,
regardless of whether you ever planned on keeping

484
00:42:21.480 --> 00:42:25.320
your word and letting him go.
I will not be letting you go like

485
00:42:25.400 --> 00:42:30.480
your daughter before you. You're going
to die by my hands. Very shortly,

486
00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:36.639
Miranda opens her mouth to show her
fangs. My family will never stop

487
00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:38.920
coming for you, Reagan Devereux.
If you kill me here today, you

488
00:42:38.920 --> 00:42:43.480
will have enemies at every turn.
The house of Thorn is a great one.

489
00:42:44.159 --> 00:42:45.719
Allow me to live, and I
shall bring you into my house.

490
00:42:46.719 --> 00:42:52.400
You would be greatly worshiped for your
abilities as a prolific killer alone. I

491
00:42:52.519 --> 00:42:58.440
consider her a moment. Then,
I tell her, perhaps if you would

492
00:42:58.440 --> 00:43:01.239
have approached me years ago when I
was a child and raised me yourself,

493
00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:06.800
I might have been as your offering. But I was raised by a good

494
00:43:06.840 --> 00:43:10.800
and wonderful person who taught me to
be a good girl and instilled her values

495
00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:15.480
in me. She even taught me
her ways of dealing with your kind.

496
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:21.639
I can never take innocence. I
just can't do it. No, you

497
00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:24.280
will die here today. If your
family comes for me, then they come

498
00:43:24.320 --> 00:43:30.480
for me. None of us will
live forever, nor are we promised tomorrow.

499
00:43:31.320 --> 00:43:37.320
You are a fool to refuse my
offer, Reagan. Noranda yells a

500
00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:43.480
fool, But today you're the fool, I remind her, Or have you

501
00:43:43.559 --> 00:43:46.239
suddenly forgotten what I'm about to do
to you. I reach over to my

502
00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:52.199
instruments and pick up one of the
sharp wooden steaks I made, and now

503
00:43:52.599 --> 00:44:00.320
Nearanda thorn. Let the punishment fit
the crime. When I raise there's the

504
00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:04.880
steak, she yells for me to
stop. I do for a moment.

505
00:44:05.760 --> 00:44:09.000
Then she asks me how I was
able to make those showers spray holy water.

506
00:44:09.679 --> 00:44:14.920
She tells me I must at least
tell her that, but I don't,

507
00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:22.239
and bring the steak right down,
hard and fast. Noranda screams when

508
00:44:22.239 --> 00:44:28.400
the steak pierces her heart from the
front to the back. I wait until

509
00:44:28.440 --> 00:44:34.760
she finally dies. However, her
body doesn't immediately start burning into ash,

510
00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:43.960
which means Nearanda Thorn had lived long
enough to become a master vampire. I

511
00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:46.679
pick up the blade I made in
the maintenance shop a block away and use

512
00:44:46.719 --> 00:44:52.599
it to decapitate her. I grab
her hair and lift her head up high.

513
00:44:52.079 --> 00:44:58.280
Feeling both my emotions and my bloodlust
together. I've never been more excited.

514
00:44:58.559 --> 00:45:01.480
I've just killed my first ef FA
or a master vampire. Mama will

515
00:45:01.519 --> 00:45:06.360
be so proud of me. I
think I'm even crying with joy now.

516
00:45:07.719 --> 00:45:12.400
So how did I make the shower
spray holy water? Well? When I

517
00:45:12.440 --> 00:45:16.199
turned eighteen, Mama had me do
something really strange. She made me sign

518
00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:22.000
up online to become an ordained minister. Mama and I don't believe in the

519
00:45:22.039 --> 00:45:27.239
existence of God or Satan, but
she explained that using artifacts of the holy

520
00:45:27.320 --> 00:45:30.400
and being a minister doesn't mean faith
in God. It means believing that these

521
00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:36.400
weapons can protect you against the beings
who are vulnerable to them. Now do

522
00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:39.679
you understand, I simply blessed myself
and the spots on the floor in the

523
00:45:39.719 --> 00:45:45.679
shower to turn the water holy,
like I said, Mama taught baby.

524
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:51.400
Well, but today I learned a
valuable lesson that the master vampire I had

525
00:45:51.480 --> 00:45:55.599
just killed taught me before I ended
her. I know what I need to

526
00:45:55.599 --> 00:46:00.880
do. Now. It's time for
me to go find Drake and show Nearanda's

527
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:07.280
minions that she's lost our contest.
After placing Nearanda's body in the incinerator,

528
00:46:07.719 --> 00:46:13.119
I gathered the stakes I made,
armed myself with a few crosses, and

529
00:46:13.199 --> 00:46:17.039
pocketed several bottles of holy water.
I'll go down fighting if that's what those

530
00:46:17.119 --> 00:46:24.000
vampires want. I secure Nearanda's head
and carry it in my hand. I'm

531
00:46:24.039 --> 00:46:30.119
coming for you, Drake. Did
you hear that? Better check the locks

532
00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:39.360
on your doors weekly, Spooky,
We'll be right back. Chapter eight.

533
00:46:44.760 --> 00:46:47.159
You're never going to believe this.
I returned to the chapel ready for the

534
00:46:47.199 --> 00:46:51.960
fight of my life. I was
truly ready to die to save Drake.

535
00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:58.599
I came into the chapel and held
up Nearanda's head for her minions to see.

536
00:46:58.679 --> 00:47:02.519
Your master is ma. I yelled, honor the bargain and let Drake

537
00:47:02.599 --> 00:47:07.000
go, or come out here and
fight me yourselves to keep him. My

538
00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:13.239
bloodlust is really hungry for more vampires, but it would not get any more

539
00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:20.440
today. The bodies of Miranda's minions, or rather their ashen remains are everywhere.

540
00:47:21.440 --> 00:47:24.400
I do find Drake behind the altar, unconscious. I check him over

541
00:47:24.440 --> 00:47:29.079
and see he's not bitten, even
using a mirror to see his reflection.

542
00:47:30.320 --> 00:47:35.280
Knowing he wasn't sired, I shake
him awake as he struggles to come too.

543
00:47:35.440 --> 00:47:37.719
I know that he was glamed.
I look around to see if there

544
00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:45.920
are any other vampires waiting to attack, but they don't. Rage Drake utters,

545
00:47:45.519 --> 00:47:49.760
Are you all right? I ask, helping him to his feet.

546
00:47:50.480 --> 00:47:54.760
Drake gasps when he sees Neranda's head
on the altar. Then he sees the

547
00:47:54.760 --> 00:48:00.079
look on my face and knows what
I'm about to say isn't going to be

548
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:06.519
be good? Rage, he utters
again. I look him in the eyes.

549
00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:13.039
I'm not going to marry you,
Drake. In fact, it's over

550
00:48:13.119 --> 00:48:16.960
between you and me. I really
do mean it this time. I remove

551
00:48:17.039 --> 00:48:23.920
the engagement ring and place it in
his hand. But Rage, he stammers.

552
00:48:24.559 --> 00:48:29.719
He doesn't see me cry like I've
done many times before when I couldn't

553
00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:35.760
allow myself to be separated from him. Go and live your life, Drake,

554
00:48:35.840 --> 00:48:39.239
Kasmarak. I tell him, I'm
going to be in this prison for

555
00:48:39.280 --> 00:48:45.360
the rest of my natural life,
and that's not fair to you. While

556
00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:47.280
you were able to come and visit
me here and even spend nights with me,

557
00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:53.000
you can't ultimately live here with me. Ultimately you won't want to live

558
00:48:53.039 --> 00:48:59.400
with me. I've taken far too
many lives. I don't even know if

559
00:48:59.400 --> 00:49:06.159
I'm human or not. I just
killed this master vampire, and I loved

560
00:49:06.159 --> 00:49:10.519
it. I step away from Drake. I mean it. Leave here now

561
00:49:10.599 --> 00:49:15.199
and go live your life. Find
yourself another mate to be happy with.

562
00:49:16.320 --> 00:49:21.760
All I'll ever bring you is misery. You may not think so now,

563
00:49:21.800 --> 00:49:24.800
but over time you're going to wish
you'd never met me, Or did you

564
00:49:24.840 --> 00:49:29.840
forget why you came looking for me
in the first place. I tighten my

565
00:49:29.920 --> 00:49:36.360
fists and scream, I killed Annie
Judge. Now Drake is finally looking at

566
00:49:36.360 --> 00:49:38.960
me the way I knew he would. I can see some contempt on his

567
00:49:39.039 --> 00:49:45.719
face. I killed Annie Judge.
I repeat, I will never regret killing

568
00:49:45.800 --> 00:49:50.079
her, Drake. You and I
both know why she deserved to die.

569
00:49:50.760 --> 00:49:54.639
In fact, I will never regret
killing any of my victims. I grab

570
00:49:54.679 --> 00:50:01.239
and raise Neroanda's head again, including
this master vampire. I glare at him.

571
00:50:01.239 --> 00:50:07.320
Now he gasps when he sees how
red my eyes have become. Don't

572
00:50:07.320 --> 00:50:13.519
you understand I'll never be your perfect
mate. I'll never be a normal woman,

573
00:50:13.639 --> 00:50:17.280
and you deserve so much, so
much better than me. I put

574
00:50:17.280 --> 00:50:22.719
the head back on the altar.
I release you, Drake, go and

575
00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:28.280
live the rest of your life.
Hopefully you'll be able to find someone who

576
00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:34.239
can truly make you happy. You're
a good man, but I am not

577
00:50:34.440 --> 00:50:38.480
a good woman. I told you
a long time ago that I'm damaged and

578
00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:44.880
can never be made whole again.
Leave me now and never return here to

579
00:50:44.960 --> 00:50:51.280
see me ever again. In fact, I will leave instructions that you are

580
00:50:51.320 --> 00:50:55.000
banned from seeing me unless it's for
a case you absolutely need my help.

581
00:50:55.039 --> 00:51:00.239
On Drake doesn't say anything to me. I know I've heard him again.

582
00:51:01.159 --> 00:51:07.280
I know I hurt him deep when
I killed Anny Judge, but this will

583
00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:13.920
likely hurt him just as deep.
In time, he will heal. I

584
00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:17.599
follow behind him where I can see
him and he can't see me. I

585
00:51:17.679 --> 00:51:24.559
watch from an open door as he
gets into his car and leaves. Wow,

586
00:51:24.719 --> 00:51:30.039
I left him so distraught that he
completely forgot I can easily walk out

587
00:51:30.039 --> 00:51:35.239
of glen View altogether. I could
literally be a free woman this very night,

588
00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:45.800
or rather Christmas Day, as the
nearby clock strikes midnight. I know

589
00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:49.199
I have the skills to be able
to stay on the run and avoid law

590
00:51:49.280 --> 00:51:53.760
enforcement. I could even leave the
country and live somewhere free of this place's

591
00:51:53.920 --> 00:52:00.880
rules. The ironic truth here is, however, that I really don't want

592
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:07.199
to go. I know I've done
wrong. In spite of the fact I've

593
00:52:07.199 --> 00:52:13.719
saved so many lives and claimed so
many corrupt souls, the truth is I

594
00:52:13.760 --> 00:52:20.599
still continue to feel very much at
peace here. It's then when it begins

595
00:52:20.639 --> 00:52:24.719
to snow, I stand in the
doorway and watch it come down. The

596
00:52:24.840 --> 00:52:30.480
Christmas lights that line the fence aren't
the prettiest to look at, but I'll

597
00:52:30.480 --> 00:52:36.679
take it. Suddenly I feel somebody
near me. I turn and see Chessie

598
00:52:36.719 --> 00:52:43.960
Carver Reagan. She utters. She
and I look at each other. I'm

599
00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:50.320
so overjoyed that she's okay. Looks
like she probably got knocked out. Chessie

600
00:52:50.360 --> 00:52:53.880
sees I can easily escape glen View. She doesn't even have her gun on

601
00:52:53.920 --> 00:53:00.360
her. She has her belt,
but no gun. Chessie. It gives

602
00:53:00.360 --> 00:53:07.360
me a beckoning look. Please do
the right thing, Reagan, don't escape.

603
00:53:07.679 --> 00:53:12.599
I give her a warm smile and
approach her. I think she's wondering

604
00:53:12.599 --> 00:53:15.760
if I'm going to kill her,
but I wrap my arms around her.

605
00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:22.280
Then I feel her hug me back. I just wanted to see the snow.

606
00:53:22.840 --> 00:53:30.039
I tell her it's Christmas. Now, I'm so glad you're all right.

607
00:53:30.760 --> 00:53:37.039
We hug for a moment, then
we come apart. Chessie seems more

608
00:53:37.079 --> 00:53:42.199
confident in me now, want to
take me back to my block. I

609
00:53:42.320 --> 00:53:50.679
ask, I promise I won't fight
you. Chessie nods. I hold out

610
00:53:50.679 --> 00:53:54.679
my hands for her to cuff me, but she takes my hand. We

611
00:53:54.760 --> 00:54:00.480
walk back to my block, where
I let her open my special cell go

612
00:54:00.599 --> 00:54:06.320
back inside. It's only minutes after
she locks me up that the state police

613
00:54:06.440 --> 00:54:12.440
finally arrive. Chessie tells them everything
she knows. Seeing I'm in my cell,

614
00:54:13.360 --> 00:54:17.599
they don't even question me. As
for Drake, no one ever knew

615
00:54:17.679 --> 00:54:27.280
he was there during Neiranda's raid.
It's one week later New Year's Eve.

616
00:54:28.119 --> 00:54:31.280
Chessie actually agreed to sit at her
station and watch me. Tonight, she

617
00:54:31.320 --> 00:54:35.639
could have gone to be with her
family and friends to watch the ball drop

618
00:54:35.760 --> 00:54:40.079
or whatever people do to ring in
the New Year. Mama was already here

619
00:54:40.119 --> 00:54:45.559
and we spent the day together.
As for Christmas Eve, she got the

620
00:54:45.599 --> 00:54:50.880
full story from me on what happened. Like I said, she was very

621
00:54:50.920 --> 00:54:54.960
proud of me for slaying my first
master vampire. She was even more proud

622
00:54:54.960 --> 00:55:00.599
of me for not escaping here when
I had the chance. She said I

623
00:55:00.719 --> 00:55:06.119
was truly a good girl and that
she raised me right in spite of the

624
00:55:06.159 --> 00:55:10.360
fact I was a serial killer.
She was still sad and wondering where she

625
00:55:10.400 --> 00:55:15.440
went wrong with me on that I
assured her it was nothing she did.

626
00:55:16.280 --> 00:55:22.599
She also said she was very sorry
for what happened between Drake and I.

627
00:55:22.480 --> 00:55:29.000
Speaking of Drake, he hasn't been
back here since Christmas Eve. Aside from

628
00:55:29.000 --> 00:55:34.000
Mama, the only visitor I got
was Chief Cobbs from the North Ridgeway PD.

629
00:55:34.519 --> 00:55:37.440
He had a case he wanted my
help on. Once I cracked it,

630
00:55:37.960 --> 00:55:44.719
he thanked me personally. Now I'm
here with Chessie. She's not Mama,

631
00:55:44.880 --> 00:55:49.519
but she's a motherly woman to me
just the same. She later told

632
00:55:49.559 --> 00:55:52.639
me that I had saved her daughter's
life years ago when a rapist tried to

633
00:55:52.639 --> 00:55:58.880
take advantage of her. She told
me the name of the man. Yes,

634
00:55:59.159 --> 00:56:04.000
I did kill him for that very
reason. I didn't admit to it,

635
00:56:04.079 --> 00:56:08.320
but Chessie said I didn't have to. She even called me a good

636
00:56:08.400 --> 00:56:14.000
girl too. As Chessie and I
are playing another game of chess in my

637
00:56:14.119 --> 00:56:17.960
cell, she gets a call at
her station phone. I wait while she

638
00:56:19.039 --> 00:56:23.159
goes and answers it. Then she
looks my way and tells me I have

639
00:56:23.239 --> 00:56:28.360
a visitor. She doesn't know who
it is and asks if I want to

640
00:56:28.400 --> 00:56:32.000
see the young woman waiting for me. Who would come to visit me on

641
00:56:32.079 --> 00:56:37.559
New Year's Eve. I wonder out
loud, then I nod and tell Chessie

642
00:56:37.559 --> 00:56:42.639
it may be a law enforcement official
with another case for me to work on.

643
00:56:43.599 --> 00:56:46.079
Chessie confirms the meeting. As I
come out of my cell to walk

644
00:56:46.119 --> 00:56:51.239
with her. Chessie takes me to
the room where I get my cases.

645
00:56:52.039 --> 00:56:55.920
But it's not any kind of law
enforcement person that I've ever seen. It's

646
00:56:55.960 --> 00:57:04.800
a girl who looks to be either
seventeen or eighteen. She's very skinny and

647
00:57:04.880 --> 00:57:12.960
has long blonde hair. Then I
see her red eyes and know immediately that

648
00:57:13.000 --> 00:57:19.559
she's a vampire. I turned to
Chessie and nod once I'll be okay,

649
00:57:21.039 --> 00:57:25.840
Chessie nods once herself and leaves,
locking the door behind me. Then I

650
00:57:25.960 --> 00:57:35.320
sit down across from this vampire Reagan
Devereux right, She asks me, or

651
00:57:35.320 --> 00:57:40.920
do you prefer rage? Rage is
fine? I reply. The girl smiles.

652
00:57:43.559 --> 00:57:47.079
My name's Bella Tabon. I'd like
it very much if we could have

653
00:57:47.159 --> 00:57:59.039
ourselves a friendly chat. I can't
lie. I got choked up. That

654
00:57:59.199 --> 00:58:05.079
was a great fun revisit for Rage, And when Rob and I decided we

655
00:58:05.079 --> 00:58:08.199
were going to do this, I
got very excited. Rage is one of

656
00:58:08.199 --> 00:58:14.199
those characters that I've watched grow and
blossom here on Weekly Spooky, and Rob

657
00:58:14.239 --> 00:58:17.800
has been kind enough to involve me
in the creative elements, so in a

658
00:58:17.840 --> 00:58:22.599
way, she kind of feels like
my baby too. I hope you enjoyed

659
00:58:22.599 --> 00:58:24.360
that story as much as I did, and I hope it's helped you feel

660
00:58:24.480 --> 00:58:30.000
very Christmasy, but in the most
gory and bloody kind of way. And

661
00:58:30.000 --> 00:58:35.880
with Rage and Bella Tabon meeting up, who knows what could be coming down

662
00:58:35.880 --> 00:58:38.000
the pike. I guess the only
way to know for sure will be to

663
00:58:38.079 --> 00:58:44.119
subscribe, because in the new year, some stuff is gonna go down.

664
00:58:44.360 --> 00:58:49.280

01:00:01.400 --> 01:00:07.000
and Merry Christmas. Guys. Thank
