Ep.245 – Homecoming Queen Killer 4 of 5 - A Bloody Love Triangle!

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:05.120
Homecoming is about to begin, and
not only do we have bodies piling up

2
00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:10.439
and blood being spelt, but there
appears to be a brand new love triangle

3
00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:16.440
in Shore City. So as the
dance approaches and the time comes to name

4
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:21.719
the Homecoming Queen, there's only one
question left to ask, who survives?

5
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:35.799
What's that? You want to be
scared to? Come with me. You

6
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:43.520
will experience tales over our room,
ghosts and death. It is not recommended

7
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:49.640
at the foot of week at heart, Heart listen, as in the dark,

8
00:00:50.520 --> 00:01:02.600
it's more fun at that way way. This is Weekly Speaking, Hello

9
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:08.519
my Spookyes it's Wednesday, and you
know what that means. It's time for

10
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:15.560
a little spooky in your weekly.
I'm your host and narrator, Enrique Kuto,

11
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.760
and I am very excited to bring
you part four of five in the

12
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:26.480
Homecoming Queen Killer mini series. Things
are getting pretty messy over in Shore City.

13
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:30.359
We'll be getting to that in just
a moment, but first I want

14
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.920
to say thank you all so much
for your messages, for your Spotify comments,

15
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:40.599
for your emails about my dog Chicano's
passing. Just thank you. I

16
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:46.319
really appreciate it. It's been very
hard losing a beloved pet. But you

17
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:51.840
all have been so sweet and so
kind and honestly, today, sitting down

18
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.439
and reading you all a scary story
brought me a lot of solace and a

19
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:59.680
lot of comfort. So I hope
you'll enjoy tonight's show. I think it's

20
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:04.200
got all the thrills, chills and
spills you're hoping for, and a whole

21
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.680
lot more. And I do want
to mention there's another series running here at

22
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:12.800
Weekly Spooky, but of course it's
only over on Patreon. In fact,

23
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:17.360

31
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.759
a twelve part series. And when
that series wraps up. We have another

32
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.759
one ready in waiting. But now
my friend's speaking of ready and waiting.

33
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:01.199
I think that's the definition of our
good friend, Laura Lee Hardy as she

34
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:06.599
continues to drop bodies all through Shore
City. I am thrilled to bring you

35
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:20.960
part four of Homecoming Queen Killer.
After these quick messages last time on Homecoming

36
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:25.520
Queen Killer, Reese Claiborne continues to
try and make life a living hell for

37
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:30.840
Melissan La Paula. Next, she
hires three hoodlums to assault Malissan and Laura

38
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:37.599
Lee. Alexandra secretly Laura Lee Hardy
at their new place of employment. When

39
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.560
that fails, Reese would have to
come up with another plan. At school

40
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:46.599
the next day, Razor Rathman approaches
Malissan to both confess his feelings for her

41
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:51.599
and ask her to the homecoming dance. Laura Lee, who's also in love

42
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:57.599
with Melissan, sees this and approaches
them. Malissan is emotionally conflicted and doesn't

43
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:02.159
know what to do. Reese Morn
sees this and is determined to eliminate Malissan

44
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:06.960
from both Shore City East High School
and the running for Homecoming Queen. She

45
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:13.000
gets Ali Prin's her muscle girl to
beat her up. Rehyese wrongfully blames Malissan,

46
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:17.199
and Principal Gaster suspends her without listening
to her side. It is then

47
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:23.839
when Deborah Lehman, Laura Lee's former
love interest, sees she's actually back from

48
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:29.399
the grave. Deborah drives out to
Green Lawn Cemetery and sees evidence that Laura

49
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:34.000
Lee Hardy is indeed back from the
dead. Before she can leave to warn

50
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:41.519
her friends, however, she is
attacked and left for dead and now Homecoming

51
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:50.079
Queen Killer Part four by Rob Fields. Friday morning, Malissan La Paula returned

52
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:56.240
to Shore City East High School legally. Principal Theodore Gastor scowled at her as

53
00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:00.680
she walked by him. As always, she was clad in black and wearing

54
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:06.240
her makeup as any goth girl would. What happened Laura Lee Alexandra caught up

55
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:12.040
to her after she left the school
the day before. Soon Arnie Razor Rathman

56
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.720
would skip school to join them.
Laura Lee wasn't too keen on Razor being

57
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:21.040
there, but she felt he truly
wanted to help Malissan. Malissan just wanted

58
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:26.040
things to end, but her two
love interests both talked her into going to

59
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:30.759
the school board and pleading her case. They both said they would go with

60
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:35.199
her. Key school board members agreed
to meet with Melissan. At the end

61
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:40.120
of the meeting, they told her
to return to school. The next morning.

62
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:45.040
One of them picked up the phone
and called Principal Gaster. Melissand was

63
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:51.079
officially reinstated to both school and the
running for homecoming queen. Members of the

64
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:56.720
school board were at Shore City East
High to conduct an investigation. They even

65
00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:00.959
pulled Reese and Ali in for questioning, but it seemed they had their stories

66
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:05.120
straight. The school board could not
prove that Reese had orchestrated the attack on

67
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:11.759
Melissan, and both girls were allowed
to remain in school. Malissan was glad

68
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:15.560
to be cleared, but she was
angry that Reese had gotten away with whatever

69
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:20.680
she wanted. When lunch period came, both Razor and Laura Lee met up

70
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:27.439
with Melissan. Laura Lee really wanted
to kill Razor, but he hadn't said

71
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:31.680
or done anything against her. He
wasn't even trying to fight her. Melissan

72
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:38.399
could clearly see the tension between the
two of them. Yeah, I know,

73
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:43.720
I need to choose between you two, she said, sadly, I

74
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:48.480
really can't believe this is happening to
me. I'm truly sorry about being conflicted.

75
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:54.839
Razor put a gentle hand on her
shoulder. Just tell me you're with

76
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:59.120
Laura Lee here, and I promise
I'll leave you alone. I had to

77
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:03.519
tell you how I felt, that's
all, Malissan. Malissan tightened her fists

78
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:09.000
and cried a little. And that's
why I can't make a choice. I

79
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.319
really don't want to break anybody's heart, but that's exactly what's going to happen

80
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:17.279
here. Please understand, Laura Lee
turned to Razor. To be fair,

81
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.639
I was the one who was seeing
Malissan before you came along and poured your

82
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:27.839
heart out to her, Razor addressed
Laura Lee. I didn't ask to feel

83
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.920
the way I feel about her.
Stop it, both of you, Malissan

84
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:35.279
pleaded. She raised her hands in
front of her. I think there's only

85
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:42.839
one way everybody wins here, she
explained her idea. Laura Lee's eyes opened

86
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:47.720
wide. Are you serious right now? Razor also understood, as he pointed

87
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:55.480
repeatedly from one girl to the other, you mean go to homecoming together all

88
00:07:55.519 --> 00:08:00.759
three of us. People are gonna
think we're one of those thrupple something.

89
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.079
Malissan still looked sad. It's just
for homecoming, you guys. This is

90
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:09.959
the only way I can think of
to where everybody wins here. She raised

91
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.680
her finger, and I do not
want either of you fighting over me.

92
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.839
I mean that. Laura Lee and
Razor both looked at each other and then

93
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:30.000
back to Melissande. Friday afternoon,
Malissan and Laura Lee were off from Roth's

94
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:35.559
Rings. When Laura Lee suggested they
get their hair done for homecoming. Malissand

95
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.080
was reluctant. Then she remembered she
needed to have a little maintenance done and

96
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.639
changed her mind. Laura Lee remembered
a mall she used to love visiting during

97
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:50.240
her first lifetime and suggested they get
their hair done at the Great Mall of

98
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.039
Shore City. After taking an uber
to get there, the girls walked around

99
00:08:54.120 --> 00:09:01.240
the grand, three story place of
commerce. Laura Lee immediately remembered Strickfield Town

100
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.080
Center Mall from her days in that
village. She hated that the Strickfield Mall

101
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.480
always seemed to be on the verge
of closing down when it wasn't around the

102
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:16.080
holidays. But this mall was the
biggest in this megalopolis. While many malls

103
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.279
across the country had shown hard times, The Great Mall of Shore City seemed

104
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:26.639
to be one of the very few
that time had forgotten. Malissan couldn't believe

105
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:31.399
the many people that patronized this mall. Also, there were no vacancies.

106
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.600
If this mall ever had one,
it wasn't too long before another business came

107
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.559
in to occupy it. It was
no secret that there was a waiting list

108
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:46.559
for businesses wanting to establish inside this
mall. Malissan wasn't as enthused about the

109
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:52.159
mall as Laura Lee seemed to be, but she allowed that it was seemingly

110
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:56.240
an escape from her mundane reality.
Also, she was holding hands with Laura

111
00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:01.200
Lee as they walked around and succumbed
to its spectacle. It was when they

112
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:05.639
were finally on the third floor that
they came to Dedris, a salon and

113
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:11.679
spa Laura Lee had patronized many times
before. It wasn't long before the girls

114
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:16.720
signed in and were waiting their turns. Laura Lee flirted with Melissan by gently

115
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.840
petting her hand. Soon, she
snatched Laura Lee's hand and held it.

116
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.879
Only a few short minutes later,
Belinda Bright and Denise Ingalls walked in.

117
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.519
Belinda quickly greeted Melissan and Laura Lee. Before she said, Genie asked me

118
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:35.159
if I knew a great place to
get her hair done for tomorrow, so

119
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.080
I suggested here. Guess you two
had the same idea. Huh, Melissan

120
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:45.200
smiled, Yeah, this was Laura
Lee's idea. Then Genie looked at Laura

121
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:50.039
Lee and Melissan with great admiration.
Melissan, I know we're both in the

122
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:54.519
running for the homecoming crown and everything. She quickly waved her hands in front

123
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:58.000
of her, but I'm not here
to give you a hard time. She

124
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:03.879
lowered her hands and smiled, I
am amazed that you two are both going

125
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:07.000
out with Arnie Rathman. Now.
Laura Lee and Melissan looked at each other,

126
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.320
then they turned back to Melinda and
Deenie. Oh yeah, it was

127
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:18.120
all over the school. Belinda told
them, you guys didn't know. We

128
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.080
didn't exactly go around telling everybody about
it. Laura Lee said, I'm sure

129
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:28.440
Razor didn't say anything. Melissan said, he's not like that. Genie gave

130
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.519
them an apologetic look. You three
didn't have to. Some of the girls

131
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.960
at our high school can read body
language real good. They were the ones

132
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:39.879
who told everybody. She waved her
hand in front of them again. I'm

133
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:45.679
happy for you three, I really
am. We're not really a full blown

134
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:52.840
thrupple. Laura Lee said no,
this was just a temporary solution for homecoming

135
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:58.679
malissand added, at least until I
can make up my damn mind. She

136
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:03.840
gave an apologetic look to Laura Lee
again be Linda seemed to remember something and

137
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.039
pointed at Malissan. Hey girl,
if you're not staying with me anymore,

138
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.919
my parents kind of want you to
come and get your things. Oh sorry,

139
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:16.120
Melinda malissand replied, have just been
through a lot of shit these past

140
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:20.679
few days. Then she quickly said
to Laura Lee, not you. Laura

141
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.240
Lee smiled a little. I knew
what you meant. Soon Deanie was called

142
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:30.279
backve Linda explained that Genie already had
an appointment booked. The stylist who came

143
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:35.000
out for Genie told Laura Lee and
melissand they were next. When the lovers

144
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:37.960
were alone again, Laura Lee turned
to Malissan. I can't believe the whole

145
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:43.679
goddamn school thinks were a thrupple.
I mean, what the fuck again?

146
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:48.159
I'm sorry, Malissan said, this
is all my fault. Why did Razor

147
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:52.440
have to pour his heart out to
me. She groaned and bowed her head

148
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:58.679
sadly. It really tugged at my
heart strings hard. Baby, It's okay,

149
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:03.559
Laura Lee got up. A woman
came out for the two of them.

150
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:07.240
When Melissan saw they weren't being seated
for styling, she looked to Laura

151
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:13.960
Lee for an explanation. I sort
of slipped a massage in, she admitted.

152
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:20.039
I hope you're not mad. M
Melissan uttered, go on back,

153
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:22.639
honey, Laura Lee told her.
I'll be right there. I'm just gonna

154
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:31.600
buy a couple of tea cocktails for
us to drink. Deanie Ingalls was in

155
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:35.879
the middle of getting her hair done. She was having it washed when she

156
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.639
felt some wetness and SuDS from the
shampoo get on her eyelids. It was

157
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:45.120
then when the fire alarm went off. Come on, honey, we've got

158
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:48.600
to go, the stylist told Genie
on impulse. Denise opened her eyes and

159
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:54.919
cried out when the SuDS burned on
contact. Shit. Oh, I'm sorry.

160
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.480
I guess the fire alarm scared me, the stylus stammered. Then she

161
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.000
looked over her shoulder to see Peace
scurrying past her to get out into the

162
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:05.399
main mall. As the stylist was
about to quickly rinse Jenice's eyes out,

163
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:11.519
she felt someone grab her from behind
and jam a pair of scissors right into

164
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.720
the side of her throat. The
stylist choked and gagged on both the metal

165
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.720
and her own blood before she collapsed
and died, blood all over her mouth.

166
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:26.360
What's going on, Genie called out. Suddenly, she was grabbed by

167
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:31.559
her hair and pulled back into the
styling chair. You fucking bitch, You

168
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:35.480
just had to bring the thruptle thing
up, didn't you. Before Janie could

169
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:41.320
protest, she felt an arm going
around her neck and keeping her pin down.

170
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:46.440
As Genie opened her mouth to scream, she felt something very hot and

171
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:52.879
metallic suddenly getting shoved into her mouth
and deep into her throat. Deanie choked,

172
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:56.240
gagged, and tried to scream as
the hot curling iron was held deep

173
00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:03.120
in her throat until she finally died
from both her injuries and being unable to

174
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.720
breathe. The police would find Genie's
body with the curling iron still in her

175
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:16.759
throat later, and the dead stylist
on the floor beside her. More scarce

176
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:31.480
to come Weekly Spooky we'll be right
back Saturday afternoon. Malissan couldn't believe it.

177
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:37.759
One she was actually looking forward to
going to homecoming. Two, she

178
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:43.840
actually had two dates. Laura Lee
and Razor agreed to her terms to attend

179
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:50.320
this major high school dance as a
thropple. Laura Lee kept thinking of how

180
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:54.480
many ways she could kill Razor.
Try as she might, she just couldn't

181
00:15:54.519 --> 00:16:00.399
bring herself to harm him, even
if it meant having Malissand all to herself.

182
00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:07.799
Razor was just such a nice guy
underneath that tough exterior. Then there

183
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:12.159
was the fact that he protected Malissand
on a few occasions. Laura Lee had

184
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:17.799
to at least give him kudos for
that. She reasoned that her calmness came

185
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:22.720
from the mother part of her combined
personality. Also, Laura Lee was curious

186
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:29.000
to see how this rather unusual date
would turn out. Razor picked up both

187
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:33.159
girls and his convertible. From there, they trusted him to take them someplace

188
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:37.600
nice for dinner. Apparently Razor had
been listening to Melissand when she talked,

189
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:42.159
too, because he pulled in at
that Rundown building that housed both a laundromat

190
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:51.480
and the Golden Dragon. Wow Melissan
breathed twice in one week. Razer looked

191
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:56.360
uncertain. Sorry, I didn't know
you ate here already, Malissan. If

192
00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:59.639
you want to go somewhere else,
no, no, this is perfect,

193
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:04.359
Malissan replied, unless you don't want
to come here, Laura Le, no,

194
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:08.640
I love this place too. Let's
eat here. She quickly agreed.

195
00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:14.519
They all got out of the car
and went in. They were immediately seated

196
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:18.599
at their table, which they saw
had a reserved sign on it. Hugh

197
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:25.880
did this, Laura Lee asked Razor. Razor shrugged. Hey, Laura Lee,

198
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:29.319
it's homecoming. You just know people
are going to be out like we

199
00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:33.279
are, getting dinner before going to
the dance. Why can't I fucking be

200
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:38.240
mad at you? Laura Lee screamed
in her own mind. After they ordered,

201
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:42.000
the three of them talked about their
date. When they got their food,

202
00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:48.240
they enjoyed it and each other's company. Malissan found herself looking at both

203
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:52.440
of her wrists again, where her
dates had each claimed one to place a

204
00:17:52.519 --> 00:18:00.440
corsage. She was looking apologetically at
them again. It's all right. I

205
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:07.319
still can't decide, Melissan admitted.
I know you were dating me first,

206
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:11.559
Laura Lee, I haven't forgotten that. She glanced at Razor. Then you

207
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:17.920
presented me with your roses and told
me how you felt. I know it

208
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:22.960
wasn't easy for you to tell me. I just I don't want to break

209
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:27.680
anyone's heart. She faced them both. Now, I've never had anything like

210
00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:33.599
this happened to me before. Please
don't make me have to choose Laura,

211
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:41.680
Lee and Razor both looked at each
other. Reese, Clairborne and Ali Prinz

212
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:48.480
were driving around. It wasn't long
before they recognized Razor's convertible parked outside the

213
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:55.119
Golden Dragon. Really he took those
two cunts to that fucking dump, Ali

214
00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:59.640
asked, in surprise. Reese glanced
at her. Only looks that way on

215
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:03.440
the outlo. I promise you Their
Chinese food is second to none. Trust

216
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:08.519
me on this. You know I
trust you. Ali told her he really

217
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:12.319
shouldn't you know? Reese warned her. You know how I can be.

218
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:18.720
Tell me to fuck off and die? Then Ali challenged. They glanced at

219
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:22.599
each other for a moment, then
Reese shook her head slowly. Not when

220
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:27.759
we've been through so much together.
For Reese, it was just as Taylor

221
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:34.240
Miron from Strickfield High had once described
winning a crown the prestige. Now that

222
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:38.680
she and Ali had found Malissan,
Reese knew exactly how to keep her from

223
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:44.319
making it to the homecoming dance.
She was absolutely sure she would win the

224
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:48.920
crown over Malissan, especially since it
was just down to two nominees now,

225
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:56.119
but she wasn't taking any chances.
Reese explained her plan to Ali once they

226
00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:00.799
parked behind the restaurant, and from
there they got out out of the car

227
00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:10.680
to execute it. The thrupple had
finished their dinner, Malissan felt her emotions

228
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:15.720
rising when her dates each took a
hand and held it. She could feel

229
00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:22.000
herself blushing and still couldn't believe this
was happening to her. Going to homecoming

230
00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:26.079
was one thing, but this.
Malissan took her hands back and excused herself

231
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:30.200
to go to the restroom. She
went in and washed her hands, then

232
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:36.039
checked her makeup in the mirror.
She had worn her best dress, which

233
00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:40.200
was a black ball gown. She
never told anyone, but she wore it

234
00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:45.039
to a wealthy relative's funeral a year
ago. The dress was such a beautiful

235
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:48.079
thing that she cherished it and hoped
to wear it again for something special.

236
00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:55.079
Today. She finally got her wish. Suddenly, the restroom door burst open,

237
00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:59.960
revealing Ali Prin's you're coming with me, you little bitch, fight me,

238
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:03.160
don't. I'll beat the fuck out
of you and make you come with

239
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.759
me. She sneered, I really
hope you fight me. Malissan shook her

240
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:12.000
head. Why can't you and Reese
just leave me alone? I never did

241
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:17.559
a fucking thing to either one of
you. Ali grabbed Melissan by her waist

242
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:21.559
and yanked her out of the restroom. You and me are gonna get real

243
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:27.079
close, at least until after Homecoming's
over, but Ali underestimated exactly how thin

244
00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:33.119
Melissan was. The little goth girl
squirmed enough to where she could slink down

245
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.960
until she was out of Ali's arms. She quickly got to her feet and

246
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:41.920
ran back out into the restaurant.
Ali gave chase and knew she would easily

247
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:48.079
catch Melissan. Then Razor saw what
was happening and immediately stood up. He

248
00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:52.920
marched right in between Malissan and Ali. I mean it, he told Ali

249
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:59.759
leave melissand alone, get out now. Ali wasted no time and punched Razor.

250
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.279
Razor returned the favor, and the
two of them were locked in a

251
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:08.359
heated brawl. Restaurant staff came out
and protested. Then Laura Lee saw Reese

252
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:12.480
and decided, since there was no
way she could kill Razor, she would

253
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:18.440
at least kill this malignancy who kept
making her presence known seemingly everywhere they went.

254
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:22.720
When Reese saw Laura Lee, she
grabbed a fork off one of the

255
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:29.079
empty tables. Laura Lee smirked and
grabbed a sharp knife off of her table.

256
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:33.759
Yeah, I really think you should
die right now, Laura Lee told

257
00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:40.200
Reese. Malissan couldn't believe this was
happening on the most magical day of her

258
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:42.960
life. She knew she had to
put a stop to this and went outside.

259
00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:49.240
She quickly pulled out her smartphone and
dialed the police. Suddenly, Malissan

260
00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:53.400
was struck on the back of her
head. She dropped to the asphalt parking

261
00:22:53.440 --> 00:23:03.799
lot and slipped into unconsciousness as she
felt her phone being taken from her.

262
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:11.799
Later that afternoon, Malissan finally awakened
and groaned as she stood up. She

263
00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:17.559
saw where she was and quickly went
back inside the restaurant. Malissan put her

264
00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:21.559
hands to the sides of her head
and uttered a blood curdling scream. She

265
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:26.480
couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Bodies were lying all over the restaurant.

266
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:30.319
Many of them had been cut open, some of them had bullet holes.

267
00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:37.559
Insides were all over outsides. Blood
was wetting the floor from wherever injuries were

268
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:44.319
inflicted. Malissan heard people say many
times that she was probably into horror movies,

269
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:48.759
but the truth was she never liked
them, since they truly scared her

270
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:56.160
and gave her nightmares. Now she
was living in her very own horror movie.

271
00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:00.559
Suddenly, she gasped and knew she
had to find Laura Lee Razor.

272
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:07.960
It was then when she held herself
and almost cried. However, she collected

273
00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:11.359
herself and focused on trying to see
if any of the bodies belonged to either

274
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:15.839
of her dates. She prayed,
like Jesus must have prayed in the Gathsemine

275
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:19.880
garden that night, that she would
not find either of them among the dead.

276
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:26.559
Then it became too much. Melissan
raced outside, dropped to her knees,

277
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:33.400
and threw up her dinner. Melissan
a voice called out, Laura Lee

278
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:40.160
knelt down beside her. You okay, Melissan pointed inside. Then she saw

279
00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:45.799
the blood on Laura Lee's exposed shoulders
and dress. Yeah, I know what

280
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:49.880
it must look like. You should
see that rich bitch. Though Malissan quickly

281
00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:56.920
took Laura Lee's hand. Please tell
me you saw razor. Laura Lee didn't

282
00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:00.920
want to include Razor any longer,
but she under stood how Melissan truly felt

283
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:07.559
rais Her and the muscle bitch are
still fighting it out somewhere. Melissan saw

284
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:12.119
it was almost dark. Now,
how did you get so bloody? Laura

285
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:18.279
Lee? When it came to that
rich bitch, I fucking beat her ass.

286
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:21.200
She spat blood on me when I
knocked one of her teeth out.

287
00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:27.440
She put her hands on Melissan's shoulders. Are you okay? Malissan nodded quickly.

288
00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:33.240
I'm calling the police. This is
all just fucking horrible. Then she

289
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:38.880
remembered, fuck, someone hit me
and took my phone, and I don't

290
00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:44.359
own a phone. Laura Lee confessed, I'll go in the restaurant and call

291
00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:52.319
them just outside. Debora Lehman also
had a mission. She had been tailing

292
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.799
Laura Lee hardy since she got out
of the hospital. The doctor told her

293
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:03.599
to stay home so her stitches in
her could heal properly. Deborah was obsessed

294
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:10.119
with learning the actual truth about how
her former lover was resurrected. Though she

295
00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:14.799
was certain she knew how, she
also wondered how long it would be before

296
00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:19.519
Laura Lee would kill either Razor or
Melissan. I've got to stop you,

297
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:23.440
Laura Lee. She shook her head
slowly when she saw the blood on her

298
00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:30.880
former lover. How many people have
you killed? You monster? Deborah knew

299
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:33.400
that one way or another, Laura
Lee had to be killed for the second

300
00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:38.680
and final time. There was only
one way to save her friends. She

301
00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:44.000
tightened her hands around the steering wheel. Seeing Laura Lee was walking away from

302
00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:48.880
Melissan, Deborah floored the accelerator and
drove right at her prey. Malissan screamed

303
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:53.720
when Deborah slammed right into Laura Lee
with her car. When she was flat

304
00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:56.960
on her stomach, Deborah quickly turned
the car around and floored it again,

305
00:26:57.599 --> 00:27:03.480
this time running over Laurae's body.
Deborah stopped and quickly got out of the

306
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:07.640
car. Melissan ran to her with
the intention of hitting her. You fucking

307
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:14.039
bitch. Why. Deborah quickly grabbed
Melissan and stuffed her into her car.

308
00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:18.720
Then she got back behind the wheel. Melissan screamed and protested on how Deborah

309
00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:26.039
could just kill Laura Lee in cold
blood. Deborah pointed ahead, Look,

310
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:33.319
Melissan. Look. Melissan couldn't believe
that Laura Lee was easily lifting herself to

311
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:37.960
her feet. You saw me run
her over, right, Deborah asked,

312
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:44.079
Tell me you saw me run her
over? Yes, Melissan squeaked. Deborah

313
00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:47.799
floored the gas and hit Laura Lee
again to knock her to the asphalt.

314
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:51.880
She turned the car around and floored
it to drive over her one more time.

315
00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:56.400
Melissan felt like she was going to
throw up again, but managed to

316
00:27:56.519 --> 00:28:00.200
keep it down. Then she gasped
when she saw Lord Oral Lee easily getting

317
00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:07.960
right back up again. What the
fuck? She gasped. It had to

318
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:11.880
be that spell you read at the
cemetery last Saturday night. Deborah told her,

319
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:15.519
you really did bring Laura Lee Hardy
back to life. Now she won't

320
00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:22.119
fucking stay dead. Laura Lee was
back to her feet and glaring at Deborah.

321
00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:26.559
Fuck you you ain't never putting me
back in the ground. She pointed

322
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:33.480
right at Deborah, Now your ass
is mine. Deborah floored the gas and

323
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:37.039
hit Laura Lee one more time before
she made it onto the road and drove

324
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:45.640
away from the restaurant. Malissan couldn't
believe it. I really brought the prom

325
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:51.279
queen killer back. What else could
it have been? Deborah confirmed, then

326
00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:56.599
sighed, I got a long story
to tell you. Deborah told Melissan that

327
00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:02.000
she was romantically involved with Laura Lee
year yars ago and what happened with the

328
00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:06.240
deaths of her brother and mother.
She explained how she had broken up with

329
00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:11.880
her because of what her brother Aidan
had done. I won't tell you about

330
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:15.359
the events of the Strickfield prom last
spring, Deborah finished. You can find

331
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:22.240
news about that everywhere online. I
just know lare Lee Hardy was killed last

332
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:27.400
spring. I really brought Laura Lee
Hardy back to life. Molissand uttered in

333
00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:33.240
disbelief again, and her gut told
her that Laura Lee had probably killed her

334
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:40.400
parents and now she won't die,
Deborah added. Soon Deborah pulled into the

335
00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:45.319
parking lot of their high school.
It's homecoming. We'll be safe here.

336
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:48.799
When Deborah parked, they got out
and went into the school at the side

337
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:53.240
entrance. They didn't have much further
to go to get to the gymnasium where

338
00:29:53.240 --> 00:30:00.119
the dance was. Suddenly, someone
came up behind Debrah and held her as

339
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:04.319
the knife went across her throat.
Hit and runs a very serious crime,

340
00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:11.319
bitch where the last words Deborah Lehman
would ever hear? As her blood sprayed

341
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:18.720
everywhere before she finally dropped to the
floor and died. Laura Lee couldn't believe

342
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:30.519
her eyes. Oh my god,
you killed Deborah? Why well, my

343
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:36.680
spooky is it looks like things are
ratcheting up? I mean, who just

344
00:30:36.839 --> 00:30:42.599
killed Deborah? It wasn't Laura Lee. Could it have been our sweet Melissante.

345
00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:47.839
All I know, having been a
resident of Strickfield for four years,

346
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:52.400
is you never really know where the
twists are coming from. So make sure

347
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:59.400
you're back here next Wednesday for the
final installment of Homecoming Queen Killer. This

348
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:03.000
one has been pretty damn riveting,
I have to admit. And I also

349
00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:06.480
