00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:05.400
Hello, my spookies. It's your host and narrator Enrique Cuto here,
2
00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:08.599
and as we celebrate the passing of two thousand and
3
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:12.240
twenty four in the arrival of two thousand and twenty five,
4
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:15.400
I felt like we needed to have a little refresher
5
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:18.640
on some of the mini series we've had the pleasure
6
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:23.239
of listening to in twenty twenty four, because next Wednesday
7
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:27.120
we begin a brand new mini series from Rob Fields
8
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:31.679
called Spin the Bottle, and you will not want to
9
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:34.960
miss it. So make sure you're subscribed and get comfortable.
10
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:39.039
We have a full audio book of the mini series
11
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:42.960
home Coming Queen Killer, just for you to enjoy. And
12
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:47.719
believe you me, the twists and turns never stop. So
13
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:50.840
whether you've never heard this before or you heard it
14
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:54.960
in installments earlier in last year, enjoy your trip to
15
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:59.159
Strickfield as we find out who's doing all this killing.
16
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:08.879
Homecoming Queen Killer, Part one of five by Rob Fields. Prologue.
17
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:13.000
The lightning cracked on the second Saturday night in October.
18
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:17.719
As the convertible sped along a brightly lit, seemingly deserted
19
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.319
four lane highway. A group of high school students were
20
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:27.280
on their way to one particular destination. Rit Speedman, riding shotgun,
21
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:31.519
glanced over her shoulder. Are you sure it's really in there?
22
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:35.040
How many times are you gonna ask me? Deborah Lehman
23
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:39.840
snapped from the back seat, Yes, it's fucking in there, Yes, yes,
24
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:44.680
and yes again. Sounds like someone's on their time of
25
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:48.959
the month, August Boldman muttered next to Deborah, Eat me,
26
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:55.400
Deborah retorted. August smirked, I'll be glad to Deborah flipped
27
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:58.120
him off. As the convertible finally came to the fence
28
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:03.159
that surrounded Green Lawn Cemetery, Arnie Razor Rathman hit the
29
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:06.079
brakes and swerved the car so that it lined up
30
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.479
with the main entrance. Then he sped through the open
31
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:15.960
gates and followed Debrah's directions. It took Razor nearly five
32
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:19.199
minutes to drive through the vast burial grounds before they
33
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:24.599
finally stopped at their destination. When Razor turned off the motor,
34
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:28.120
he and Britt got out. Razor pulled his seat forward
35
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.280
to let the four riding in back get out. When
36
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:36.080
Skinny Melissan Lapala staggered in getting out, Razor caught her
37
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:39.520
as she fell into his arms. When their eyes met
38
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.360
He looked at her blankly before easily lifting her out
39
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:48.759
of the car and placing her on her feet. Um, thanks,
40
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:53.800
Melaizan said, uneasily, looking up at the hulking giant. Razor
41
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:57.080
nodded once. Then they caught up with the rest of
42
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:01.240
the group. Deborah led them through several rows of tombstones
43
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:05.000
before they saw the one that would easily get anyone's attention,
44
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:13.240
a lone grave spray painted with the words prom Queen Killer.
45
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:19.680
Deborah knelt down in front of the tombstone Laura Lee. Hardy,
46
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:24.360
She managed to say, didn't she used to date her?
47
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:30.000
Milizand asked. Deborah glanced her way, more like we fucked.
48
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:34.400
We never went on dates. She stood and faced her friends.
49
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.599
I still can't believe what Laura Lee did in Strickfield
50
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:43.199
last spring. She pointed to the tombstone. This right here,
51
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:47.599
Laura Lee killed a lot of students on prom night
52
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:52.560
at Strickfield High School, even a few teachers. Britt raised
53
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:58.039
an eyebrow. You know, I heard Strickfield High had another
54
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:04.240
prom over the summer, Deborah side. Yeah. Strickfield High is
55
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:08.000
now known for both the Prom from Hell and prom
56
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:11.080
Knight of the Dead. It was the prom from Hell,
57
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.879
where Laura Lee Hardy made her impact, though her family
58
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.480
died over two years ago in a horrible car crash
59
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:22.480
here in Shore City. She lost her older brother Aiden
60
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:27.120
and her mother Ridge. Laura Lee survived, but was hurt badly.
61
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:31.519
She had to have several surgeries, including the metal plate
62
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.120
put in her head. Feeling guilty about what happened to
63
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:39.279
her family, she killed a few doctors. She was taken
64
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.279
all the way to Erie City Asylum afterwards. That's where
65
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:47.279
she had to go through lots of therapy. Laura Lee
66
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:50.279
got out and moved to Strickfield. She found herself a
67
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:53.040
new girlfriend and was living off insurance money from when
68
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:57.319
her dad had died. Laura Lee developed multiple personality disorder
69
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:03.279
to keep her family all she could carry on conversations
70
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:07.199
with her mother and became Aiden to kill anyone who
71
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:11.279
got close to Laura Lee herself. Laura Lee went to
72
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.079
prom and would go on a murder spree from there.
73
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:18.160
Two of the senior class prom queen candidates finally stopped
74
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.199
her insanity. One of them was from the ultra rich
75
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:25.959
Mirn family. In fact, Taylor Meren herself saw to it
76
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.800
that Laura Lee was buried here and paid for the funeral.
77
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.360
Guess it didn't take too long for people to learn
78
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:39.040
Laura Lee was buried here. A girl stepped forward. Wow,
79
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:44.120
we're really looking at the grave of a of a legend.
80
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:50.160
Deborah turned to her. I wouldn't call Laura Lee a legend, Velinda.
81
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:55.240
August wasn't so sure. When people know you all over
82
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.759
Ohio and surrounding states, I think it's safe to say
83
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:02.759
Laura Lee Hardy is definitely a legend. He pointed to
84
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:08.079
the tombstone. I rest my case. Then Melinda Bright turned
85
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:14.639
to Malisan as the lightning flashed again. You know, guys,
86
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:17.720
I'll bet you she could bring Laura Lee back from
87
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:25.319
the grave. Melisan shook her head. Belinda, No, it was
88
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:29.680
no secret. Melisan led a goth lifestyle. She was pale
89
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:33.000
and always wore dark clothing. Her makeup made her look
90
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:38.040
ghoulish yet beautiful. Yeah, melisand I heard you can make
91
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:43.279
things happen, August said. Look, I just dabble in black
92
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:48.439
magic a little. She admitted, I never really made anything happen,
93
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:53.879
not big anyway. Belinda put her arm around her. I
94
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:58.480
think you should perform the spell. It's October, which means
95
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:04.439
it's Halloween season, plus it's stormy out here. Come on, babe,
96
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:08.560
what could it hurt? Aside from Deborah, the others urged
97
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:12.639
Melisan to perform the resurrection spell. Figuring none of her
98
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:17.720
past spells ever caused serious harm, she agreed to do it.
99
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:21.160
She pulled her smartphone out of her jacket and found
100
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:25.279
the resurrection spell. Then she motioned for the others to
101
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:31.160
step back. Melisand recited the words. The more she read,
102
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:36.360
the louder she became. When she finished, she faced the others.
103
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:42.800
Guess we wait and see what happens. Just then, the
104
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:49.720
rains started coming down fast. They went back to Razor's
105
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:53.160
car and got in. He started the engine and closed
106
00:07:53.199 --> 00:08:01.199
the roof. From within a dark place, two eyes opened. Unfortunately,
107
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:08.839
their owner only saw total darkness. Then the eerie red
108
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:13.439
aura glowed around the body, causing it to become fully restored.
109
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:20.319
Almost instantly. After the glowing stopped, Laura Lee Hardy gasped
110
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:25.000
her first breath upon being resurrected. She pushed up and
111
00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:29.959
felt her hands being stopped suddenly, then she remembered what
112
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:34.200
had happened in the Strickfield High School gymnasium at the
113
00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:41.120
prom Taylor Miron and Cheryl Blint had killed her. Mainly
114
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:43.399
it was Cheryl who had stabbed her to death, but
115
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:49.240
Taylor was also involved. Laura Lee understood she was in
116
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:56.320
a coffin, likely buried. She groaned and pushed against the
117
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:00.679
padded ceiling with grim determination and screamed. When the lock broke,
118
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.840
she pushed harder to force the lid open. Dirt poured
119
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.919
fast into the coffin, but Laura Lee refused to be
120
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:12.519
a prisoner to it any longer. Laura Lee gasped with
121
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:17.919
happiness as she finally escaped her grave and was standing
122
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:25.159
on the wet grass in her bare feet. Her funeral
123
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:30.159
clothing was her prom dress from that night. She didn't
124
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:34.399
care about that at the moment. All she knew was
125
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:38.879
that she needed to leave this cemetery and see where
126
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:45.840
exactly she was. Laura Lee walked around the Green Lawn cemetery.
127
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:51.279
The wind and rain felt wonderful against her skin. The
128
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:58.600
lightning cracked and revealed a guy urinating in some bushes nearby.
129
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.120
He had just finished and was about to head back
130
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:06.080
to the convertible when he saw her standing before him.
131
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:12.440
Whoa where did you come from? The guy asked, Laura
132
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:17.480
Lee smiled sweetly. It ain't where I'm coming from, it's
133
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:24.720
where you're going. The guy looked confused. Huh. Laura Lee
134
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:29.360
still smiled when she easily exposed her breasts, putting him
135
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:33.000
under her spell. Then she walked into him so they
136
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:37.440
could kiss. The two of them sucked tongues hot and heavy.
137
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:42.759
Soon the guy groaned hard and tried pushing Laura Lee away,
138
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:48.440
but he felt her supernatural strength. In fact, her teeth
139
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.519
were easily cutting through the guy's tongue. Soon she had
140
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.399
his entire tongue in her mouth when she withdrew, showing
141
00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:58.720
it to him before dropping it.
142
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.840
Don't go away weakly, Spooky will be right back.
143
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.039
The guy was practically vomiting blood as he staggered away.
144
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:14.559
Laura Lee covered her breasts and easily walked until she
145
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:20.480
was in front of him. Honey, you gave me your heart.
146
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.120
She punched him hard in the stomach, reached into his
147
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:29.159
rib cage, and pulled his bloody heart from him. When
148
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:32.600
the man fell to her feet, she laughed and dropped
149
00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:37.440
his heart. She saw a faint red light nearby and
150
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:43.759
moved through the tombstones until she saw the sky blue convertible.
151
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.360
Laura Lee gasped when she beheld the skinny goth girl
152
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.039
getting out of the car and opening an umbrella. The
153
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:54.960
girl turned to look in the car. I don't see
154
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:59.559
August anywhere. I'll go find him. Laura Lee couldn't let
155
00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:04.000
these peap people find their friend. She returned to August's
156
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:08.360
body and found his smartphone, easily accessing it by holding
157
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:11.559
it in front of his face. She opened the texting
158
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:15.960
app and saw many new messages from someone called Razor.
159
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:19.600
She replied and said he met a girl jogging in
160
00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:24.679
the cemetery and not to wait for him. Razor argued briefly,
161
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.919
but she finished the conversation with a middle finger emoji.
162
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:33.399
Laura Lee returned to see the skinny goth girl again.
163
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:36.879
She shook the rain from the umbrella. Before getting back
164
00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:40.480
in the car. Laura Lee saw the varsity jacket, the
165
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:44.559
driver war and the bumper sticker when they pulled away.
166
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:50.879
I'm back in Shore City, she realized. I can have
167
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:55.080
a completely new start here. Those people go to Shore
168
00:12:55.120 --> 00:13:00.720
City East High School. Well that's where I'm going too.
169
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:05.320
Laura Lee hugged herself, knowing she had fallen in love
170
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:09.600
with the skinny goth girl. She made a vow right
171
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.080
then and there to find her and win her heart.
172
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:22.799
She also vowed to kill anyone who got in her way.
173
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:29.919
Melissan walked into the house after being dropped off. Almost immediately,
174
00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:33.320
her parents were all over her. Kind of late, ain't you?
175
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:39.240
Her dad demanded, I'm eighteen years old, Melissan protested, and
176
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:43.519
still living under our roof. Her mom corrected her. Her
177
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:47.200
dad pointed right at her. That's right. That means you
178
00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:52.440
do whatever we say, and for starters, get that satanic
179
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:57.039
clothing off your body and put something decent on. Melissan
180
00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:00.759
tightened her fists. What is your problem, prob I'm not
181
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:04.879
hurting anybody. You ain't gonna keep dressing all in black
182
00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:08.840
and reading those Satanic books, young lady, Her mom scolded,
183
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:11.320
your father and I don't know where you went wrong,
184
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:15.480
but you will know your place here. Melissand groaned and
185
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:19.679
marched right upstairs. Soon she came back down with her backpack.
186
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:23.000
I ain't dealing with this shit. I'm gonna go stay
187
00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:26.360
with me Linda. Before her parents could move to keep
188
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:32.799
her inside, she was quickly out the door and gone.
189
00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:39.000
Laura Lee stole a car from someone who came to
190
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:43.919
Green Lawn Cemetery to pay his respects to his deceased wife.
191
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:46.879
She hopped into the car motor running, and caught up
192
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:51.120
to the convertible. Seeing the skinny goth girl was dropped off,
193
00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:54.600
She hid the car and crept to the girl's house
194
00:14:55.639 --> 00:15:00.440
through an open window. She had heard everything. Oral Lee
195
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:04.600
entered the house and grabbed two knives from a kitchen drawer.
196
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:08.440
She tightened her jaw the same way her brother Aidan
197
00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:12.480
did in life, and marched into the living room. The
198
00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:16.399
girl's parents began yelling at Laura Lee. Now Laura Lee
199
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.440
screamed and buried one knife in the mother's throat. When
200
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:23.480
the father rushed at her, she opened up his throat
201
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:26.960
with her other knife. She took the knife back from
202
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:30.480
the mother's neck and kicked her husband into his recliner.
203
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:35.279
Laura Lee sprang on to him and purred softly as
204
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:39.320
she repeatedly stabbed him with both knives. She was a
205
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:43.679
bloody mess when she was finished. Then Laura Lee heard
206
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:49.360
the mother barely breathing and stood to face her. Without mercy.
207
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:52.159
Laura Lee grabbed the older woman's hair and forced her
208
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:56.360
down onto her back. Then she knelt down in front
209
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.440
of the couch and went into a stabbing frenzy. When
210
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:03.559
Laura Lee was finished, she stood up and felt the
211
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:08.360
blood running down her flesh. You will never treat that
212
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:13.559
lovely girl like that ever again, Laura Lee murmured. Knowing
213
00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:17.200
the Goth girl wasn't returning home tonight, she went back
214
00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:20.399
out into the storm with the knives. The heavy rain
215
00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:25.039
both washed her and the blades clean. Walking over a
216
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:29.559
small bridge, she dropped the knives into the water. Laura
217
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:33.559
Lee had lost the Goth girl for the moment, but
218
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:43.720
she knew she would find her again. Sunday afternoon, Melissand
219
00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:46.639
had been working at Coffee Corner since five a m.
220
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:50.159
Her shift was supposed to be over at one p m.
221
00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:54.840
Her manager, Trent, specifically stated employees couldn't leave until their
222
00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:58.639
relief had arrived. Britt Speedman was working with her and
223
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:03.480
came out of the storeroom. Jesus, Susette still ain't here yet.
224
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:10.039
She called off yesterday too. Melissan sighed, she'll probably call
225
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:13.920
off today too. She's never dependable, and Trent still keeps
226
00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:18.039
her on the schedule. Britt laughed. If we had tits
227
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:21.440
like hers, we'd be getting special favors from Trent too,
228
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:27.200
but we don't, so we don't. Just then, Deborah Lehman
229
00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:31.599
and Melinda Bright entered the coffee house. Hey, just the
230
00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:35.119
two girls I want to see, Deborah cheered. I'll take
231
00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:38.960
a caramel dream Hot with almond milk, same but with
232
00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:43.640
oat milk. Belinda added malissand began making the drinks as
233
00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:47.000
Britt rang the orders. I have it on good authority
234
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:51.119
that you two are both nominees for Homecoming Queen, Deborah gushed.
235
00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:57.599
Melissan wasn't impressed people actually voted for me. You guys know,
236
00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:02.119
I hate doing school functions, including dances. She shook her head.
237
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:08.799
I decline what, Melinda exclaimed, Come on, Melissan. Melissan shook
238
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:12.559
her head again. You all know Principal Ghastly's been riding
239
00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:15.880
my ass since freshman year. I'm not a trouble maker,
240
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:19.920
but he gives me shit just because I'm Goth. In
241
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:22.440
other words, he'll make sure I don't get anywhere near
242
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:27.680
the crown, she sighed. And I don't have a date
243
00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:32.759
prom Saturday. Deborah noted, there's still plenty of time for
244
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:39.160
someone to ask you which will happen? Melissan raised her finger. Yeah,
245
00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:41.680
and that'll only be because all the choice stuff has
246
00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:47.279
been taken. Not true, Britt murmured, we can always go
247
00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:51.000
together like we did for prom. When melisand handed Deborah
248
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.599
and Melinda their drinks, Trent came out of the back
249
00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:58.839
and pointed to Brit your shift's over. Leave. What about Melissan,
250
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:03.799
Britt asked. Trent waved her off. Mind your fucking business. Leave.
251
00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:08.079
Then he pointed to Melissan, you're closing tonight, Susette ain't
252
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:12.640
coming in. Melissan looked disappointed. I opened and I got
253
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:17.119
shit to do. Trent looked angry. Yeah, and that's being
254
00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:20.400
here until close. Talk back to me again and I'll
255
00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:24.720
write you up again. Melissan wanted to quit, but she
256
00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:27.960
needed the money. She was glad we Linda was letting
257
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:30.480
her stay at her place, but she wasn't going to
258
00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:34.680
be a free loader. Trent pointed to Brit leave now,
259
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:39.960
or you can stay left. I'll be okay, Britt. Melissan
260
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:43.359
told her. The three girls said goodbye to melissand as
261
00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:47.279
they left. Then Trent said, it's just you. All the
262
00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:50.720
closing jobs are done before closing. If not, you'll stay
263
00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:54.720
here till they are done. Off the clock. Trent returned
264
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:57.359
to the back, where Melissan knew he'd sit in the
265
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:01.759
office on social media or texting people. Thankfully, it was Sunday,
266
00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:06.400
so it was slow and steady. Soon, an attractive girl
267
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:09.960
came in and approached the counter melissand moved to the
268
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:11.279
register to take her order.
269
00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:15.119
Did you hear that? Better check the locks on your
270
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:18.680
doors weekly? Spooky, We'll be right back.
271
00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:27.640
Laura Lee Hardy had been optimistic about finding the skinny
272
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:30.599
goth girl. Now that she had, she was going to
273
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:35.119
have her time with her. I think I'll order a
274
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:39.319
Caramel Dream. It's our most popular drink, the girl said
275
00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:43.599
in a soft, velvety voice. After Laura Lee paid for it,
276
00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:46.759
she took in every inch of the girl serving her.
277
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:50.559
Her heart was pounding as she longed to make love
278
00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:58.039
to her. The girls talked about general things. You sound down, babe,
279
00:20:58.599 --> 00:21:06.440
Laura Lee observed, what's wrong? I'm getting nominated for homecoming queen? Why?
280
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:09.279
I mean, what would you want to see me with
281
00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:12.839
the homecoming crown on my head? The girl finished with
282
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:16.480
the drink and handed it to her. Laura Lee tasted
283
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:23.000
the drink absolutely. The girl gawked, are you serious? Laura
284
00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:29.559
Lee nodded very if I may say so, you're very beautiful.
285
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:35.960
The girl gasped slightly, then they talked more. Just then
286
00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:38.839
a skinny loser came out of the back, looking angry.
287
00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:43.720
You're here to work, not be lazy and socialized with customers.
288
00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:48.200
The girl was mad. Yeah, you can talk, Trent. She
289
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:50.640
pointed to the back. All you do is sit in
290
00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:53.799
that office. You've never even come out here when we're slammed,
291
00:21:54.559 --> 00:21:59.160
shut up, or you're fired right now. Trent threatened fire me.
292
00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:03.400
Then the girl retorted, then you can work all by yourself.
293
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:05.880
We both know it would kill you if you ever
294
00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:09.880
had to do any work. Trent scowled before turning and
295
00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:13.119
storming back to the office. When the girl put her
296
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:15.640
hand on the counter, Laura Lee put her hand on
297
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:20.440
hers and gave her a look of approval. You just
298
00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:25.720
became my hero. She glanced at the name tag Melissand
299
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:33.599
she smiled, and you are Laura Lee. Alexandra Melissand worked
300
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.079
as Laura Lee kept her company, making time go by fast.
301
00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:41.000
When closing time came, Laura Lee waited for her outside.
302
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:45.400
When she was finally finished with her long day, Melissand
303
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:48.920
wanted to spend even more time with Laura Lee. When
304
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:53.039
they left the coffee corner together, Melissan never cared that
305
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:59.920
Laura Lee was holding her hand as they walked. Monday morning,
306
00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:06.480
Melissand and Velinda walked into Shore City East High School
307
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:09.519
and met their friends at their usual meeting place near
308
00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:13.519
the cafeteria. After a time, they turned and walked to
309
00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:17.000
the gymnasium for a big assembly. The group went in
310
00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:20.599
and sat in the senior section. Deborah pointed to the
311
00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:24.559
older man on the floor, Principal Ghastly's gonna announce the
312
00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:31.480
homecoming queen candidates. Fuck him, Melissand muttered. Principal Theodore Gastor
313
00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:36.000
finally spoke, all right, students, knock off the talking so
314
00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:40.039
we can get to the homecoming queen nominations. Principal Gaster
315
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:44.039
made a mechanical speech about homecoming before he finally made
316
00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:50.240
the eagerly awaited announcement. And this year's nominees are Britt Speedman,
317
00:23:51.200 --> 00:24:00.839
Daphne Ridley, Blake Zerner, Denice Ingallsrhyes, Clairbourne And finally, he
318
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:07.640
seemed less enthused as he announced melissand La Paula. Principal
319
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:11.400
Gaster gave her a look as if asking her why
320
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.480
even bother. He turned his attention back to the student
321
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:19.519
body and made a few more announcements before dismissing them
322
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:26.039
to first period. As Melissand walked to second period, she
323
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:30.119
was suddenly grabbed and her mouth covered. She struggled to
324
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.240
break loose as she was pulled into an empty classroom.
325
00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:38.480
Her captor released her and pulled the door shut. Malissan
326
00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:43.440
turned and gasped when she saw Ali Prinz, who was
327
00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:49.759
quite intimidating, standing at six ' two and muscular. Malissand
328
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:54.240
guessed Ali intimidated most everybody at Shore City East High
329
00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:59.279
turn and face me, you satanist skank. Malissan turned to
330
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:03.839
see Reese Claireborne sitting on the teacher's desk. In truth,
331
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:07.920
she feared Reese more than Ali. It was no secret
332
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:11.559
Reese came from money. Some students wondered if she had
333
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:14.640
the kind of money the Mirn family had. It was
334
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:18.759
also no secret that Reese got whatever she wanted whenever
335
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:23.759
she wanted. Malissand took in Reese's platinum blonde hair, her
336
00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:28.400
hourglass figure, and her surgically enhanced upper body, but it
337
00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:31.880
was Reese's eyes that burned with a fire that chilled
338
00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:36.440
her own blood. Reese pointed right at her drop out
339
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:40.559
of the running for Homecoming Queen right now. She looked
340
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:45.440
at Massand with disgust. Why a fucking skank like you
341
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:52.400
would even get any votes? Whatsoever is beyond me? Reese smiled, Oh,
342
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:56.640
and I believe Ali wants to give you her personal endorsement.
343
00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:01.359
Malissan lifted her hands in front of her. Okay, I'll
344
00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:05.960
drop out. I don't want any trouble. Reese looked angry.
345
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:09.480
Now I really don't give a fuck what you want.
346
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:15.400
Ali flashed her sinister smile. I'm gonna enjoy breaking you
347
00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:20.480
in half. Before Ali could grab her, Malissan dropped to
348
00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:24.279
her knees and crawled right through Ali's legs. She sprang
349
00:26:24.359 --> 00:26:27.720
to her feet and escaped to her second class period.
350
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:36.000
Monday afternoon, after school, Malissan and brit were an hour
351
00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:39.720
into their shift at coffee corner when Laura Lee Alexandra
352
00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:45.559
walked in. Malissan's spirits lifted immediately. What can I get you,
353
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:51.240
Laura Lee? She asked, another caramel dream please, Laura Lee answered,
354
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:56.160
coming right up. As Moissan made the drink, Trent came
355
00:26:56.200 --> 00:26:59.039
out of the back. He pointed right at Laura Lee.
356
00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:02.720
You ain't stay in here and distract in my employees again.
357
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:09.839
Leave now. She ordered a drink. Malissan protested. Trent pointed
358
00:27:09.920 --> 00:27:13.920
right at her. Then make her drink to go. He
359
00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:18.279
looked at Laura Lee again, you ain't staying here. As
360
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:23.319
Malissan started to protest, Laura Lee raised her hand. It's okay.
361
00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:25.720
I'll come and get you at the end of your shift,
362
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:32.400
which will be closing again, Trent informed Melissan. Susette called
363
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:38.440
off again. Brit groaned. Trent turned to her, exactly, you
364
00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:42.440
will be leaving at your regular time. Trent waited for
365
00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:46.559
Laura Lee to take her drink and leave. When she did,
366
00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:51.839
he gave Malissan a mean look before returning to the office.
367
00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:59.799
Fuck you, Trent, Malissan said under her breath. Monday evening,
368
00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:05.160
brit remained behind. After all, she managed to convince Trent
369
00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:08.079
to let her switch with malissand so she could leave
370
00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:11.960
with Laura Lee. Brit knew the real reason Trent hated
371
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:14.759
Malissand was because he kept trying to get dates from
372
00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:18.920
her after she was hired, but she rejected him time
373
00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:23.440
and time again. When Trent knew she wouldn't budge, he
374
00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:26.519
turned on her. Trent came out and told Brit to
375
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:29.079
take out the trash, which was already at the back door.
376
00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:32.880
Brit came and grabbed the bags. She went out into
377
00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:36.920
the darkness and to the dumpster. After dumping the bags in,
378
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:39.880
she turned to see an amazon of a girl directly
379
00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:44.440
in front of her, still running for homecoming Queen bitch,
380
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:49.640
Ali Prince murmured. When Brit saw Reese Claiborne leaning against
381
00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:53.599
the fence, she knew what was about to happen. When
382
00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:57.640
Reese nodded to Ali, she grabbed Brit and punched her
383
00:28:57.680 --> 00:29:00.720
hard in the face to send her falling to the asphalt.
384
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:06.720
You have carte blanche, Riese told her. Muscle girl. Brit
385
00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:08.880
tried to fight back, but there was little she could
386
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:11.640
do as Ali took full advantage of her carte blanche.
387
00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:15.720
When Britt was finally spitting up blood, Reese nodded to Ali.
388
00:29:16.599 --> 00:29:20.759
Then the two girls left, leaving Brit badly beaten and crying.
389
00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:25.039
Britt groaned as she pulled herself back to her feet.
390
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:28.079
When her left side was hurting, she guessed that she
391
00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:32.079
had cracked ribs. She focused on getting back inside to
392
00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:37.599
call the police and report her assault. Unfortunately, the back
393
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:41.880
door was now closed and locked. After knocking a few times.
394
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:44.160
She looked out the parking lot and saw Trent in
395
00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:51.680
his car leaving fucking lazy bastard. Britt muttered, I should
396
00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:56.000
get your fucking pay for closing up by myself. Remembering
397
00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:59.319
she had keys, she reached into her pocket for them.
398
00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:04.279
She was suddenly grabbed and thrown on her back. Now,
399
00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:08.960
she prayed Ali hadn't returned for another workout. Leave me alone,
400
00:30:09.160 --> 00:30:13.400
Brit yelled. Suddenly, her attacker sat on her and throttled
401
00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:16.759
her neck with one hand. Brit saw the gleaming knife
402
00:30:16.839 --> 00:30:20.200
raised in the other. She tried to fight, but was
403
00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:24.079
severely weakened from her previous attack. Brit groaned when the
404
00:30:24.079 --> 00:30:28.079
girl covered her mouth and drove the blade deep into
405
00:30:28.079 --> 00:30:33.079
her stomach. BRIT's eyes opened wide when she saw and
406
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:40.160
recognized the girl who stabbed her repeatedly. Unfortunately for Brit,
407
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:50.599
she wouldn't live to reveal the girl's identity. An hour later,
408
00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:55.160
Malissand returned to coffee corner. She had forgotten her smartphone
409
00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:58.839
and remembered where she'd left it. She unlocked the front
410
00:30:58.839 --> 00:31:03.319
door and entered to see the alarm hadn't been set. Britt,
411
00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:09.519
you hear Melissan called out finding her phone. Then she
412
00:31:09.640 --> 00:31:11.920
saw a strange shape in the middle of the cafe
413
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:17.279
area and turned on the lights. Malissan dropped her keys
414
00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:23.000
and phone and covered her mouth as she screamed. BRIT's slain.
415
00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:26.759
Bloody body was nailed to the back wall in a
416
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:31.680
crucifixion pose, and just to her left were words written
417
00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:37.119
in BRIT's blood for you, my love.
418
00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:45.759
You're not safe yet, Weekly Spooky will be right back.
419
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:54.319
Tuesday morning, Malissan La Paula was still shaken up with
420
00:31:54.359 --> 00:31:57.640
the events of the previous night. She didn't want to
421
00:31:57.680 --> 00:31:59.920
be left alone and came to school with Linda bro
422
00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:03.440
whom she was staying with at the moment. When the
423
00:32:03.480 --> 00:32:06.240
girls arrived at Shore City East High School, their circle
424
00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:12.039
of friends were waiting for them. Okay, Arnie Razor Rathman asked, Melissan,
425
00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:18.960
you look terrible. She gulped at Razors intimidating size. I
426
00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:27.279
uh didn't get much sleep. I kept having nightmares about
427
00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:32.440
Britt and I even slept with her. Flinda added, who
428
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:37.160
could have killed brit? Debora Lehman asked, and why we?
429
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:41.480
Linda pointed in a direction. Maybe it was those two bitches.
430
00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:46.160
Razor wasted no time and approached Reese, Claiborne and Ali prinz.
431
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:49.960
He was about to grab Reese, but Ali quickly intercepted him.
432
00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:54.400
Back off, motherfucker, Ali warned Or, you're gonna deal with me.
433
00:32:55.359 --> 00:33:00.119
You don't scare me butch Razor pointed past Ali to Reese. Yes,
434
00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:03.880
I know you had something to do with BRIT's death.
435
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:08.440
Reese put a hand on Ali's shoulder. I got this.
436
00:33:09.319 --> 00:33:15.680
When Ali moved, Reese smiled sweetly. I completely understand your
437
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:19.000
brains are in your ass, so I'm telling you you
438
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:22.960
won't be pinning that cunt's murder on me. Ali and
439
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:26.000
I were arriving at Club Creole at the time of
440
00:33:26.039 --> 00:33:30.319
this murder. I got plenty of witnesses, including the doorman.
441
00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:34.359
She waved him off. Now go on, go back to
442
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:38.640
your friends before Ali kicks your ass. On general principles,
443
00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:44.240
Ali shoved Razor. You heard her, fuck off. Razor shoved
444
00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:49.559
her back, You fuck off. Then Reese murmured, pulp is
445
00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:54.240
ass Ali. Ali punched Razor in the face. Razor returned
446
00:33:54.240 --> 00:33:57.200
the favor. A crowd gathered around to watch the two
447
00:33:57.319 --> 00:34:03.119
hulks fight. Stop this idiotly, Ali and Razor both stopped.
448
00:34:03.559 --> 00:34:07.720
Ali got off Razor. Principal Theodore Gastor marched right up
449
00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:10.599
to Razor as he got up. I should suspend you
450
00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:16.119
right now. Reese and Ali started it, Malissan protested. Principal
451
00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:19.960
Gaster turned and pointed at her. I wasn't talking to you,
452
00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:23.480
young lady. You know what, maybe I should suspend you
453
00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:26.559
long enough to keep you away from that homecoming Queen Crown.
454
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:32.480
Malissan felt her anger rising fast. Principal Gaster gave her
455
00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:36.079
a look that challenged her to defy his authority. He
456
00:34:36.079 --> 00:34:39.840
could see her fists tightened and her face reddening. He
457
00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:44.440
won't do a damn thing, miss Lapaula, Principal Gaster taunted.
458
00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:47.800
Then he tightened his own fists. Get out of my
459
00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:51.159
face and get to class now, or you can forget
460
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:55.639
about ever coming back to this school again. Principal Gaster
461
00:34:55.760 --> 00:34:58.880
didn't see Rehese raising her middle fingers to the group
462
00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:03.239
and blowing them a kiss. They knew even if Principal
463
00:35:03.280 --> 00:35:06.800
Gaster did see Reese, he would have looked the other way.
464
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:11.920
Razor was very upset. Now, why don't you just retire,
465
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:16.199
you old mother fucking fart. When Principal Gaster pointed right
466
00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:20.760
at him, Razor pointed back, go ahead, suspend me I
467
00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:24.760
dare you? Ali wanted to jump at Razor again, but
468
00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:28.559
Reese shook her head slowly. When Principal Gaster didn't say
469
00:35:28.599 --> 00:35:35.639
anything more, the group turned away and went to class.
470
00:35:36.920 --> 00:35:40.320
Malissan was still seething with anger as she sat down.
471
00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:43.679
At the same time, she was happy Razor stood up
472
00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:47.639
to Principal Gaster. How many times had Gaster lashed out
473
00:35:47.679 --> 00:35:50.480
at her? How many times had she wanted to kill
474
00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:55.920
him for it? And then Malissan couldn't believe it. Laura Lee,
475
00:35:56.039 --> 00:36:00.400
Alexandra from the coffee corner, walked into her classroom and
476
00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:05.800
handed her schedule to the teacher. Malissan's day got even
477
00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:09.880
better when Laura Lee was assigned the empty seat next
478
00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:13.000
to her. The girls smiled at one another when Laura
479
00:36:13.079 --> 00:36:16.920
Lee sat with her during class. Nobody saw Laura Lee
480
00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:20.679
or Melissan holding hands as the teacher gave the lecture.
481
00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:25.480
Laura Lee was also in Malissan's second period. Then the
482
00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:30.239
girls wouldn't meet up again until lunch at the appointed hour.
483
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:34.719
Malissan waited for Laura Lee as Laura Lee entered the cafeteria.
484
00:36:34.760 --> 00:36:38.639
As she saw Debora Lehman and backed off. Laura Lee
485
00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:41.880
dated her for a few months prior to the major
486
00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:45.519
accident on the freeway in Shore City that killed her
487
00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:49.719
brother and her mother. In fact, Deborah was the reason
488
00:36:49.719 --> 00:36:53.360
that Laura Lee had her meltdown that had caused the accident.
489
00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:58.000
Laura Lee recalled being madly in love with Deborah. The
490
00:36:58.039 --> 00:37:01.960
two of them were practically inseparable when they realized their feelings.
491
00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:06.719
Then her homophobic older brother, Aidan found out about them
492
00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:11.159
and targeted Deborah, eventually beating her to the point where
493
00:37:11.199 --> 00:37:15.000
she was hospitalized. Aidan admitted this to Laura Lee when
494
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:19.000
the family was out shopping. Laura Lee's hatred for Aidan
495
00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:22.760
and knowing what he had done to Deborah made her snap.
496
00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:27.320
She attacked Aidan, which eventually caused her mother Ridge to
497
00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:30.280
lose control of the car on a busy freeway and
498
00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:34.880
have the accident that killed Aidan and Ridge and severely
499
00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:39.960
injured Laura Lee. She was taken to Shore City Municipal
500
00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:45.960
Hospital to undergo extensive emergency surgeries. One procedure resulted in
501
00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:48.440
her getting a metal plate in the side of her head.
502
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:53.000
Laura Lee had been asleep for many days when she
503
00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:57.440
had finally awakened. Deborah was there at her bedside. At first,
504
00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:00.480
Laura Lee was happy to see her, even through the
505
00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:04.199
remnants of the sedatives. Deborah was glad that Laura Lee
506
00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:09.000
would live. However, Deborah noted she wasn't there to rekindle
507
00:38:09.039 --> 00:38:14.440
their relationship. In fact, Deborah was there for closure between
508
00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:17.800
the two of them. When the girls argued about it,
509
00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:21.239
Laura Lee's unstable emotional state allowed her to overcome the
510
00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:26.119
sedatives even more. Deborah explained being beaten within an inch
511
00:38:26.199 --> 00:38:29.519
of her life by aiden wasn't worth a relationship with her,
512
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:34.400
cementing the end of it. Laura Lee begged and pleaded51300:38:34.400 --> 00:38:38.519
with Deborah to reconsider, but she wouldn't hear it. From there,51400:38:38.639 --> 00:38:43.119
Deborah left and never looked back. Laura Lee was so51500:38:43.360 --> 00:38:46.000
angry about the breakup that it was too much for51600:38:46.039 --> 00:38:49.239
her fragile psyche to handle. When a nurse came in51700:38:49.280 --> 00:38:52.000
to check on her, Laura Lee sprang from her bed51800:38:52.519 --> 00:38:57.039
and attacked her. The nurse was permanently blinded when Laura51900:38:57.079 --> 00:39:00.000
Lee backed her into the wall and jammed her thad52000:39:00.079 --> 00:39:04.960
thumbs into her eyes. Laura Lee bolted out into the hallway.52100:39:05.079 --> 00:39:08.880
Not caring about the pain from her surgeries, She grabbed52200:39:08.920 --> 00:39:12.039
a pen from the reception desk and jammed it into52300:39:12.039 --> 00:39:16.039
a surgeon's throat. She pulled it out, blood squirting everywhere,52400:39:16.519 --> 00:39:20.320
and jammed it into another nurse's eye. Laura Lee Hardy52500:39:20.400 --> 00:39:24.679
had killed eight personnel from Shore City Municipal Hospital before52600:39:24.719 --> 00:39:28.960
she was finally overpowered and sedated. From there, Laura Lee52700:39:29.039 --> 00:39:33.039
was secured and kept under constant sedation until she could52800:39:33.079 --> 00:39:36.719
be taken to Eerie City Asylum. At her trial, the52900:39:36.800 --> 00:39:40.599
judge declared her insane and ordered Laura Lee to remain53000:39:40.639 --> 00:39:45.239
at the asylum until she would properly pass her evaluations.53100:39:45.800 --> 00:39:50.199
But I fooled everybody, Deborah, Laura Lee thought I got53200:39:50.239 --> 00:39:54.000
out of that nuthouse and moved to Strickfield. I'll bet53300:39:54.039 --> 00:39:56.239
you never even cared when you heard I was killed53400:39:56.320 --> 00:40:01.639
last spring, did you? But that's fine. I'm over you now.53500:40:02.679 --> 00:40:07.639
My heart belongs to someone else. When Deborah left the53600:40:07.679 --> 00:40:12.559
cafeteria with Melinda Bright, Laura Lee safely entered. Malissan brightened53700:40:12.639 --> 00:40:15.559
up upon seeing her. Then the girls got in a53800:40:15.679 --> 00:40:19.079
line to get some food. I can't believe you're really53900:40:19.119 --> 00:40:23.800
here at my school, Melissan gushed, not unwelcome, I hope,54000:40:24.199 --> 00:40:28.639
Laura Lee replied, no, of course not. I'm glad you're here.54100:40:29.079 --> 00:40:32.280
At least Trent can't kick you out of here. Melissan54200:40:32.360 --> 00:40:36.159
and Laura Lee held hands again. Then Laura Lee looked54300:40:36.199 --> 00:40:39.480
into her eyes. Want to go out with me tonight?54400:40:40.360 --> 00:40:45.639
Melissan gasped, Are you asking me out? You mean like54500:40:46.679 --> 00:40:51.920
a date? Laura Lee composed herself. Yeah, we can go54600:40:52.000 --> 00:40:57.000
anywhere you want. You had me at tonight. Melissan whispered.54700:40:57.800 --> 00:41:00.920
Coffee corners permanently closed because of what happened to Britt.54800:41:01.880 --> 00:41:06.320
Laura Lee squeezed her hand. I'm really sorry about your friend.54900:41:07.639 --> 00:41:13.079
Thank you, Melissan grown Now, shit, I gotta find another55000:41:13.199 --> 00:41:16.039
job now. At least I don't have to work with55100:41:16.119 --> 00:41:21.440
Trent ever again. Though. Then let's go job hunting after school.55200:41:22.039 --> 00:41:25.320
Laura Lee suggested, we'll go on our date from there.55300:41:26.239 --> 00:41:29.000
Melissan smiled, I'd like that.55400:41:30.400 --> 00:41:35.079
Sh it was only the wind. You're safe, weekly, spooky.55500:41:35.199 --> 00:41:36.480
We'll be right back.55600:41:41.960 --> 00:41:47.119
Tuesday. Evening. That night, Laura Lee and Melissand were on55700:41:47.159 --> 00:41:51.679
their date. They ate dinner at an Italian restaurant. Afterwards,55800:41:51.679 --> 00:41:55.519
they went dancing at Wall Street, a same sex couples club.55900:41:56.159 --> 00:41:59.119
In all, Laura Lee made Melissan forget about all the56000:41:59.199 --> 00:42:02.199
bad things that happened to her at school that morning.56100:42:03.320 --> 00:42:06.119
She even felt a little better after what had happened56200:42:06.159 --> 00:42:10.920
to brit Thank you for today, Malissan said as they56300:42:10.960 --> 00:42:14.480
walked together. I can't believe we both found new jobs today.56400:42:15.000 --> 00:42:17.199
I've been trying to get in at Roth's Rings since56500:42:17.239 --> 00:42:21.559
it just opened. Here. You're quite welcome, Laura Lee replied.56600:42:22.239 --> 00:42:25.920
At least we get to work together. Malissan felt herself56700:42:26.000 --> 00:42:30.920
blushing when Laura Lee held her hand again. What are56800:42:30.960 --> 00:42:35.840
you doing to me anything you want, honey, Laura Lee murmured.56900:42:36.519 --> 00:42:40.280
Laura Lee guided Melissan into a nearby alley and backed57000:42:40.280 --> 00:42:43.920
her up against a wall. Laura Lee gazed into her eyes.57100:42:44.400 --> 00:42:49.320
Knowing Malissan wouldn't resist her, she leaned in and they kissed.57200:42:50.079 --> 00:42:53.199
Malissan kissed her back. She had been waiting for her57300:42:53.239 --> 00:42:56.719
first kiss for so long. Most guys didn't want to57400:42:56.760 --> 00:42:59.960
give Malissan the time of day because she was a god,57500:43:00.599 --> 00:43:04.360
the only goth at her high school. Actually, now her57600:43:04.400 --> 00:43:08.280
first kiss was with a girl she'd just met. They57700:43:08.320 --> 00:43:12.039
shared several kisses in the alley. Laura Lee wasn't sure57800:43:12.079 --> 00:43:15.360
how long she could keep her composure. The love she57900:43:15.440 --> 00:43:19.800
felt for malissand was elevated. Now she truly desired her.58000:43:20.480 --> 00:43:23.920
When they stopped kissing, Laura Lee could feel Malissan shaking58100:43:24.400 --> 00:43:27.840
and wondered if she was moving too fast. She certainly58200:43:27.880 --> 00:43:32.440
didn't want to drive melissand away. Should I ask Malissan58300:43:32.519 --> 00:43:37.119
to homecoming? She thought, Hey, worse she can do is58400:43:37.159 --> 00:43:41.039
say no. As Laura Lee was about to ask, Malissan's58500:43:41.039 --> 00:43:47.039
smartphone rang, it's coffee corner. I'd better take this. Malissan58600:43:47.199 --> 00:43:49.760
was on the phone for a little bit. Soon she58700:43:49.880 --> 00:43:53.440
hung up. That was the owner, Laura Lee. He told58800:43:53.480 --> 00:43:56.559
me I could come and get my final paycheck. The58900:43:56.639 --> 00:44:02.199
owner's there this late, Laura Lee asked. Malissan shrugged, I59000:44:02.239 --> 00:44:05.679
guess might as well get what I'm owed come with.59100:44:06.639 --> 00:44:10.039
Of course, The girls walked to coffee corner and went59200:44:10.079 --> 00:44:13.320
around back to see the door was open. Laura Lee59300:44:13.360 --> 00:44:16.400
agreed to wait for Malissan. She went in and called59400:44:16.400 --> 00:44:21.880
out the owner's name. He just left, Dyke. Malissan saw59500:44:21.960 --> 00:44:28.960
Trent in his hand. Was her final paycheck? I'll take that,59600:44:29.280 --> 00:44:34.000
Malissan snapped. Trent quickly shook his head. You know, bitch,59700:44:34.480 --> 00:44:37.000
I think I'm gonna rip this check up. We both59800:44:37.079 --> 00:44:39.920
know you don't deserve a fucking scent because of you.59900:44:40.039 --> 00:44:43.000
This place is a fucking crime scene and ain't opening60000:44:43.079 --> 00:44:46.239
back up. Yeah, I'm ripping your check up right now.60100:44:46.960 --> 00:44:51.800
Give me that, Trent, now, Malissan demanded. Trent lashed out60200:44:51.840 --> 00:44:56.440
and shoved her hard. Take it. Malissan shrieked and fell back.60300:44:56.920 --> 00:44:59.519
Trent suddenly picked her up again and shoved her harder60400:44:59.519 --> 00:45:03.400
into a near by wall. Hey, a voice called out.60500:45:03.880 --> 00:45:08.159
They both saw Laura Lee standing there now looking very angry.60600:45:08.880 --> 00:45:12.199
Malissan was ready to cry from being both emotionally and60700:45:12.280 --> 00:45:17.440
physically abused by this pimple faced bully. Fuck you. Trent60800:45:17.519 --> 00:45:21.320
moved to tear Malissan's check. Laura Lee suddenly drove her60900:45:21.360 --> 00:45:23.760
foot in between his legs to drive him down to61000:45:23.840 --> 00:45:27.960
his knees, dropping the paycheck. Laura Lee snatched it up61100:45:28.000 --> 00:45:31.400
and gave it to Malissan. Laura Lee then stopped for61200:45:31.440 --> 00:45:36.039
a moment and remembered she now had supernatural strength, and61300:45:36.199 --> 00:45:40.760
pummeled Trent until he begged her for mercy. Laura Lee61400:45:40.800 --> 00:45:42.920
threw him to the floor and got on top of him.61500:45:43.400 --> 00:45:46.760
If you ever come near Malissan again, I'll fucking kill you.61600:45:47.519 --> 00:45:51.079
This will be the only time I warn you. Laura61700:45:51.199 --> 00:45:54.199
Lee got up and turned to Malissan, I'll walk you61800:45:54.280 --> 00:45:59.159
home if you want. Malissan nodded quickly. I'd like that.61900:46:00.119 --> 00:46:03.239
My parents will lose their shit, but I don't fucking62000:46:03.320 --> 00:46:07.599
care anymore. Laura Lee took her hand. I won't let62100:46:07.599 --> 00:46:11.599
anything happen to you, I promise. Malissan smiled giddily and62200:46:11.719 --> 00:46:14.199
let Laura Lee take her away from her former place62300:46:14.239 --> 00:46:18.719
of employment. Then she remembered something. I had better call62400:46:18.840 --> 00:46:21.000
Melinda and tell her I'm not spending the night at62500:46:21.039 --> 00:46:25.960
her house again tonight. Probably a good idea, Laura Lee agreed.62600:46:29.079 --> 00:46:34.519
Late Tuesday, Trent staggered into his apartment building. He was62700:46:34.559 --> 00:46:38.199
still feeling slight pains in his balls and swore he'd62800:46:38.280 --> 00:46:42.239
get revenge on Laura Lee. First, Malissan refused to go62900:46:42.320 --> 00:46:44.840
out with him when he asked time and time again63000:46:45.000 --> 00:46:48.599
for dates. Just the idea that Malissan was infatuated with63100:46:48.679 --> 00:46:52.519
Laura Lee was a huge slap in the face. Trent63200:46:52.599 --> 00:46:54.960
never had much luck with getting dates back when he63300:46:55.000 --> 00:46:58.239
went to high school. Even the girls he considered ugly63400:46:58.320 --> 00:47:01.760
wouldn't give him the time of day. Then there was63500:47:01.840 --> 00:47:05.119
that skinny goth chick whom he knew didn't have many friends,63600:47:05.599 --> 00:47:08.840
and he couldn't even score with her. To add further63700:47:08.880 --> 00:47:12.360
insult to injury, Molissan's new girlfriend decked him and made63800:47:12.400 --> 00:47:16.159
it look easy. He finally reached his apartment and groaned63900:47:16.360 --> 00:47:19.719
as he put the key in the lock and discovered64000:47:20.559 --> 00:47:24.320
his door was open. He went in, closing and locking64100:47:24.360 --> 00:47:27.960
it behind him. He was two months behind on his rent.64200:47:28.280 --> 00:47:30.239
Where would he get another job where he could be64300:47:30.280 --> 00:47:33.519
both manager and lazy and still be able to come64400:47:33.599 --> 00:47:38.400
up with rent money? You fucking bitch, he yelled up64500:47:38.400 --> 00:47:41.920
at the ceiling, not caring if his neighbors hurt him. Seriously,64600:47:42.119 --> 00:47:45.039
you need to just shut the fuck up, someone called64700:47:45.079 --> 00:47:50.480
out behind him. Trent turned around. You what are you64800:47:50.559 --> 00:47:54.320
doing in my place, bitch? Trent pointed past her. Get64900:47:54.360 --> 00:47:57.280
the fuck out of here. He opened a kitchen drawer65000:47:57.360 --> 00:48:00.920
and pulled out a meat tenderizer. Trent suddenly had the65100:48:00.960 --> 00:48:04.280
meat tenderriser snatched away from him. He raised his hands65200:48:04.400 --> 00:48:07.519
try and defend himself, but the tender riser kept finding65300:48:07.559 --> 00:48:12.000
his head. Trent staggered against the dirty formica counter and65400:48:12.119 --> 00:48:15.639
stumbled onto the floor. He felt himself being turned onto65500:48:15.639 --> 00:48:17.840
his back and the weight of the girl sitting on65600:48:17.920 --> 00:48:20.920
him as she continued smashing his head with the lethal65700:48:21.039 --> 00:48:26.519
kitchen tool. After the maniacal laughter, Trent heard, I'll see65800:48:26.559 --> 00:48:29.559
to it. You never put your hands on Melissan ever again.65900:48:30.000 --> 00:48:33.440
You fuck Getting your ass kicked earlier just wasn't enough.66000:48:34.000 --> 00:48:38.000
Your birth was a mistake, which I'm correcting right now.66100:48:39.000 --> 00:48:41.920
Trent was a bloody mess and his face looked like66200:48:41.960 --> 00:48:49.639
ground beef by the time he finally died Wednesday, after midnight,66300:48:50.440 --> 00:48:53.360
Melissan stood on her back porch and waited for Laura66400:48:53.400 --> 00:48:56.920
Lee to return. She cursed herself for forgetting her smartphone66500:48:56.960 --> 00:49:00.320
again while they were dating. Laura Lee said she may66600:49:00.360 --> 00:49:02.840
have remembered where it was and left to go retrieve it.66700:49:03.679 --> 00:49:06.599
Malissan was so happy. Laura Lee came into her life66800:49:06.960 --> 00:49:10.800
at a time when she truly needed someone. Yes, she66900:49:10.880 --> 00:49:13.599
had her circle of friends, but felt even they truly67000:49:14.280 --> 00:49:18.360
didn't understand her. For years, she felt a numbness inside67100:49:18.400 --> 00:49:22.559
she could never explain. Becoming goth and practicing black magic67200:49:22.639 --> 00:49:27.360
helped ease that numbness some. Now she had Laura Lee67300:49:27.480 --> 00:49:30.840
Alexandra who didn't seem to care who or what she was.67400:49:31.599 --> 00:49:34.599
She was truly feeling things that she'd never felt before,67500:49:35.079 --> 00:49:38.639
and she didn't want those feelings to ever stop now.67600:49:38.679 --> 00:49:41.519
The girls were attending school together and would be working67700:49:41.559 --> 00:49:45.119
at a new location of Roth's Rings near Buckeye State University.67800:49:45.920 --> 00:49:50.079
Roth's Rings also had locations in Erie City and in Strickfield.67900:49:50.639 --> 00:49:54.599
Jerry Roth, the owner and also the dean of Strickfield University,68000:49:54.639 --> 00:49:57.880
interviewed both girls himself and hired them on the spot.68100:49:59.199 --> 00:50:02.960
Just then, Laura Lee returned with promised smartphone in hand.68200:50:03.760 --> 00:50:06.559
When Melissan thanked her, Laura Lee backed her up and68300:50:06.639 --> 00:50:11.400
kissed her. Melissand moaned and kissed her back. They shared68400:50:11.480 --> 00:50:16.840
several kisses before they stopped. Melissand was biting her lower68500:50:16.880 --> 00:50:20.320
lip when she took Laura Lee's hand. Come in with me.68600:50:21.440 --> 00:50:26.280
What about your parents, Laura Lee asked, playing dumb, don't care,68700:50:26.880 --> 00:50:30.159
she declared as she opened the back door. After Melissan68800:50:30.199 --> 00:50:32.880
brought Laura Lee in, she called out for her parents.68900:50:33.840 --> 00:50:38.920
No reply. Melissan closed the door and took Laura Lee upstairs.69000:50:39.880 --> 00:50:42.719
As they stopped outside her room, Melissan went to her69100:50:42.760 --> 00:50:48.880
parents' bedroom. She turned to Laura Lee. They're not home. Weird,69200:50:49.280 --> 00:50:53.199
They're never out the late. Do you even care? Laura69300:50:53.280 --> 00:50:56.719
Lee asked. Melissan smiled, no.69400:50:58.679 --> 00:51:02.960
More, scarce to weekly, spooky, We'll be right back.69500:51:05.800 --> 00:51:08.239
She returned to Laura Lee and took her into the bedroom.69600:51:08.679 --> 00:51:11.760
The girls got on the bed and began making out again.69700:51:12.679 --> 00:51:16.440
They kissed for several minutes. Eventually Laura Lee was on69800:51:16.480 --> 00:51:20.719
top of Melissan and gazing into her eyes. You want69900:51:20.719 --> 00:51:26.119
me to stay, Laura Lee asked, would you? Melissand beckoned.70000:51:26.760 --> 00:51:29.800
They kissed again. Laura Lee had gotten her hands up70100:51:29.880 --> 00:51:33.440
Malissan's T shirt and was feeling her soft, silky back.70200:51:34.039 --> 00:51:37.440
She wasn't wearing a bra underneath. Soon there were no70300:51:37.559 --> 00:51:41.199
clothes between them. They became intimate with each other for70400:51:41.320 --> 00:51:46.199
many hours, well into the night. The girls finally stopped70500:51:46.599 --> 00:51:50.119
and got under the covers. Laura Lee held her close70600:51:50.800 --> 00:51:59.280
as they finally fell asleep. Wednesday morning, Melissan and Laura70700:51:59.360 --> 00:52:02.440
Lee walked to school after spending an incredible night together.70800:52:03.119 --> 00:52:06.239
When they entered the building, Laura Lee saw Debora Lehman70900:52:06.599 --> 00:52:11.199
among Melissan's circle. Why don't you go on ahead, Laura71000:52:11.320 --> 00:52:16.079
Lee suggested, I need to use the restroom. Melissan nodded71100:52:16.079 --> 00:52:19.159
and went to join her friends. When the group greeted her,71200:52:19.199 --> 00:52:23.079
she was more responsive. She still couldn't believe how Razor71300:52:23.199 --> 00:52:26.880
Rathman stood up to Principal Gaster that morning before. When71400:52:26.880 --> 00:52:29.639
it came to Razor, the truth was she never really71500:52:29.639 --> 00:52:33.039
felt comfortable around him. She often wondered if her being71600:52:33.079 --> 00:52:36.880
a goth put him off. When Razor suddenly looked her way,71700:52:37.440 --> 00:52:41.199
Melissan turned to get away and tripped over her platform boots.71800:52:41.599 --> 00:52:44.960
She gasped when she felt Razor's two meaty hands under71900:52:44.960 --> 00:52:48.480
her shoulders and lifting her She knew she easily weighed72000:52:48.480 --> 00:52:50.880
as little as a feather to him as he put72100:52:50.880 --> 00:52:53.440
her back on her feet. When he was in front72200:52:53.480 --> 00:52:55.360
of her now, all she could do was look up72300:52:55.679 --> 00:53:00.400
meekly at him. You okay, he asked. She I couldn't72400:53:00.400 --> 00:53:02.679
tell if he was being sincere or yelling at her.72500:53:03.119 --> 00:53:06.400
I mean you ain't hurt, are you? She shook her72600:53:06.440 --> 00:53:09.320
head quickly and gulped as she scurried off to class.72700:53:10.119 --> 00:53:16.119
Razor seemed upset as he watched her leave. It was72800:53:16.199 --> 00:53:19.159
during lunch period when Blake Zerner walked into the girl's72900:53:19.199 --> 00:53:24.000
locker room after finishing intramural volleyball. Still can't believe Melissan73000:53:24.119 --> 00:53:28.079
La Paula is being considered for homecoming queen. She muttered73100:53:28.119 --> 00:53:31.760
to her friends Or that that skinny skank actually has73200:53:31.800 --> 00:53:36.000
any friends. How'd you get that black eye? One of73300:53:36.000 --> 00:53:39.119
her friends asked her, Oh, yeah, she's got a new73400:53:39.159 --> 00:53:43.719
friend now, Blake snapped that new girl Laura Lee Alexandra73500:53:43.880 --> 00:53:46.719
found me pushing that little bean pole around in the restroom.73600:53:47.440 --> 00:53:50.280
We got into a fight until missus Zims came and73700:53:50.360 --> 00:53:54.639
broke it up. Then she declared to her friends melissand73800:53:54.719 --> 00:53:57.519
La Paula is not making it to the homecoming dance.73900:53:57.760 --> 00:53:59.840
When I get my hands on that fucking Wednesday at74000:53:59.840 --> 00:54:02.239
a wanna be, I'm gonna break her every which way74100:54:02.239 --> 00:54:06.079
I can. The other girls got changed for lunch and left.74200:54:06.480 --> 00:54:10.000
Blake decided to stay behind and take a shower. She74300:54:10.079 --> 00:54:14.679
got undressed and got the water running. Soon she was74400:54:14.719 --> 00:54:18.800
soaking wet and soaping herself down. It wasn't long before74500:54:18.840 --> 00:54:21.559
another girl was stepping into the showers to join her.74600:54:22.480 --> 00:54:25.199
Blake rinsed the shampoo from her hair and turned to74700:54:25.239 --> 00:54:32.079
see you. Laura Lee stood and faced her. Yeah, bitch me,74800:54:33.000 --> 00:54:36.239
we never got to finish what you started earlier. She74900:54:36.360 --> 00:54:41.000
pointed at Blake. You ain't never touching melissand ever again.75000:54:42.239 --> 00:54:46.159
Blake grinned, okay, you want to go girl on, girl75100:54:46.159 --> 00:54:49.880
in here, let's do this. Laura Lee struck and soon75200:54:49.960 --> 00:54:53.079
had Blake up against the wall. Then she hit Blake75300:54:53.119 --> 00:54:55.800
hard in the stomach and knocked the wind out of her.75400:54:56.480 --> 00:54:59.079
Laura Lee hit her in the stomach again, even harder,75500:54:59.440 --> 00:55:03.679
breaking the flesh. Laura Lee pressed her lips to Blake's75600:55:04.480 --> 00:55:09.599
as she pulled out her vital organs. Soon Blake went75700:55:09.719 --> 00:55:13.800
limp in her arms. Laura Lee let the corpse fall75800:55:14.800 --> 00:55:21.880
and rinsed herself off before she left the shower. At75900:55:21.920 --> 00:55:25.159
that same moment, Melissand was on her way to class,76000:55:25.760 --> 00:55:28.079
as on the day before. She was snatched up and76100:55:28.119 --> 00:55:31.199
brought into an empty classroom, where she was thrown to76200:55:31.239 --> 00:55:36.079
the floor. Then she heard the door closing. Melissand looked76300:55:36.079 --> 00:55:39.519
to see she was again in front of Reese, Clairborne76400:55:39.719 --> 00:55:44.679
and Ali Prince. Melissand raised her hands. Okay, okay, I'll76500:55:44.719 --> 00:55:47.760
drop out. I'll go tell Principal Gaster right now, you76600:55:47.840 --> 00:55:49.599
two can come into the office with me and see76700:55:49.639 --> 00:55:55.280
for yourselves. Reese flashed her pearly whites. I really don't76800:55:55.280 --> 00:55:59.400
care anymore. I just don't like you, melissand right now76900:55:59.440 --> 00:56:01.679
I'm going to watch my girl here beat you. Within77000:56:01.719 --> 00:56:05.440
an inch of your life, babe, you have carte blanche.77100:56:06.199 --> 00:56:08.880
Ali was on Melissan and yanked her to her feet.77200:56:09.360 --> 00:56:12.360
Melissan cried out as Ali threw one fist after another77300:56:12.400 --> 00:56:16.639
at her. Soon she lifted Melissan effortlessly and threw her77400:56:16.679 --> 00:56:19.280
at a wall. She was back on the floor and77500:56:19.360 --> 00:56:26.440
in pain. Please stop, Melissan begged, crying, No, I don't77600:56:26.480 --> 00:56:31.400
think so, Reese purred Ali, I changed my mind. Just77700:56:31.559 --> 00:56:36.320
kill her. No, Melissan shrieked, I'll drop out, I'll drop out.77800:56:36.400 --> 00:56:36.800
Please.77900:56:37.639 --> 00:56:41.800
Suddenly the door flew open. Razor Rathman came in. Let78000:56:41.800 --> 00:56:44.880
her go. Ali went right at Razor and they tore78100:56:44.960 --> 00:56:48.639
into each other. But today Ali wanted the victory more78200:56:48.679 --> 00:56:52.599
and eventually beat Razor down. Reyese laughed at knowing her78300:56:52.719 --> 00:56:56.320
muscle girl had won yet again. When Ali went to78400:56:56.400 --> 00:57:01.079
continue beating Malissan, Razor quickly moved in between them. I78500:57:01.119 --> 00:57:05.880
ain't done yet, you fucking bitch, Razor told Ali. Fine,78600:57:06.360 --> 00:57:10.360
I'll kill you both. Ali sneered. Then Reese saw the78700:57:10.400 --> 00:57:15.000
door to the classroom was wide open. Shit, we'd better stop, babe,78800:57:15.159 --> 00:57:18.159
I'm sure we were seen. Ali was upset that she78900:57:18.239 --> 00:57:21.119
didn't get what she wanted, but she obeyed Reese and79000:57:21.199 --> 00:57:24.719
followed her back out into the hallway. Razor turned to79100:57:24.760 --> 00:57:30.840
the crying Melissan, Hey you okay. Melissan was still afraid79200:57:30.840 --> 00:57:34.079
of him, but she forced herself to nod. Razor got79300:57:34.119 --> 00:57:36.719
to his feet and again pulled her up like a feather,79400:57:37.079 --> 00:57:40.280
setting her back on her toes. The way he looked79500:57:40.320 --> 00:57:42.480
at her, she wondered if he was going to work79600:57:42.480 --> 00:57:46.320
her over himself. Instead, he stepped aside to let her79700:57:46.360 --> 00:57:51.400
walk out, but she didn't leave. Melissan's pent up emotions79800:57:51.440 --> 00:57:55.320
became too much, and her crying turned to sobbing. She79900:57:55.480 --> 00:57:59.599
turned into Razor and let him hold her. Neither of80000:57:59.639 --> 00:58:04.840
them had Laura Lee glaring at them just outside the doorway. No,80100:58:05.880 --> 00:58:09.840
just at Razor. She could tell Razor desired Melissan, and80200:58:09.880 --> 00:58:12.199
would keep an eye on him, just to make sure.80300:58:13.039 --> 00:58:16.679
If it turned out he truly desired her, then she80400:58:16.719 --> 00:58:21.280
would have to eliminate him. Absolutely. Nobody was coming in80500:58:21.360 --> 00:58:26.519
between her and Melissan. Nobody.80600:58:32.519 --> 00:58:36.960
If you're not afraid, then you're already dead. Weekly, Spooky,80700:58:37.079 --> 00:58:38.000
We'll be right back.80800:58:40.039 --> 00:58:45.360
Wednesday evening after school, Laura Lee Hardy and Melissan La80900:58:45.480 --> 00:58:50.320
Paula were starting their new jobs at Roth's Rings. Laura81000:58:50.400 --> 00:58:53.440
Lee felt her heart pounding when she saw how happy81100:58:53.719 --> 00:58:57.559
and relaxed Melissand was. At one point, the two of81200:58:57.599 --> 00:58:59.800
them had to go in the back to grab supply.81300:59:00.760 --> 00:59:04.639
Laura Lee surprised Malissand by easing her up against a81400:59:04.719 --> 00:59:09.559
wall and kissing her. Malissan wrapped Laura Lee in her81500:59:09.719 --> 00:59:13.880
arms as they were making out, hot and heavy. She81600:59:14.000 --> 00:59:17.960
moaned harder when Laura Lee's hands were inside her silky81700:59:18.039 --> 00:59:23.000
black blouse and caressing her back. She wrapped one of81800:59:23.000 --> 00:59:26.360
her legs around Laura Lee and felt her heart ready81900:59:26.400 --> 00:59:33.719
to explode, clearly wanting to be intimate with Laura Lee again. Unfortunately,82000:59:33.800 --> 00:59:36.800
when they heard people at the counter, they were forced82100:59:36.840 --> 00:59:40.199
to come apart. They smiled at each other before picking82200:59:40.280 --> 00:59:44.679
up their supplies and taking them up front. The girls82300:59:44.719 --> 00:59:48.719
were both surprised when they saw three beefy guys inside82400:59:49.039 --> 00:59:52.840
chasing everybody out of the building before they realized that82500:59:52.960 --> 00:59:58.480
one of them had locked the door. Then they approached82600:59:58.519 --> 01:00:04.280
the counter, Melissand immediately recognized clem Otterson, one of Shore82701:00:04.320 --> 01:00:08.559
City East High's resident hoods. He always had his two82801:00:08.639 --> 01:00:13.199
friends in tow, Kenny Ford and Fred Willis. The three82901:00:13.239 --> 01:00:17.159
guys and the employees were at a standoff. Get the83001:00:17.199 --> 01:00:20.639
fuck out of here, Laura Lee told them, breaking the silence.83101:00:21.400 --> 01:00:25.840
Clem shook his head. Nope, can't hear you. See we're83201:00:25.880 --> 01:00:29.360
supposed to fuck you both up, He pointed to Melissan,83301:00:30.320 --> 01:00:35.840
mostly her. Malissan bowed her head. Why can't Reese just83401:00:35.920 --> 01:00:39.440
leave me alone? Laura Lee knew she could take the83501:00:39.480 --> 01:00:42.920
three of them easily, and she really wanted to end83601:00:42.960 --> 01:00:48.360
them most violently. However, she thought of Melissand and didn't83701:00:48.360 --> 01:00:51.280
want to lose her. The mere thought of it caused83801:00:51.360 --> 01:00:55.079
Laura Lee to close her eyes in pain. Don't worry,83901:00:55.360 --> 01:00:57.840
We'll keep hitting you both real hard so you can84001:00:57.920 --> 01:01:02.559
die sooner. Fred jears. Laura Lee opened her eyes and84101:01:02.559 --> 01:01:05.679
shook her head quickly, but it was because she would84201:01:05.719 --> 01:01:10.840
not lose Melissan. She quickly picked up the phone and84301:01:10.960 --> 01:01:14.920
dialed nine one one. Before the Hoods could stop Laura Lee.84401:01:15.079 --> 01:01:18.719
Malissan picked up two cups of hot coffee and threatened84501:01:18.760 --> 01:01:22.719
to throw them both. After Laura Lee talked to the operator,84601:01:22.800 --> 01:01:26.239
she hung up the phone. You guys are so fucked,84701:01:26.639 --> 01:01:30.920
Laura Lee told them, Yeah, you didn't call him. Kenny jeered,84801:01:31.280 --> 01:01:35.920
calling Laura Lee's bluff Suddenly they heard tapping on the84901:01:35.960 --> 01:01:40.280
front door. Everybody turned to see two Shore City PD85001:01:40.519 --> 01:01:45.239
representatives standing there. Laura Lee moved and unlocked the door85101:01:45.280 --> 01:01:48.840
to let the officers come in. After the girls lodged85201:01:48.880 --> 01:01:53.440
their complaint, the guys were arrested. Laura Lee even gave85301:01:53.480 --> 01:01:55.880
each of the officers a free drink and a doughnut85401:01:55.920 --> 01:01:59.880
of their choice as a thank you. Malissan turned to85501:02:00.079 --> 01:02:03.480
La Lee. I wish I could be more like you.85601:02:03.480 --> 01:02:05.800
You're always so brave and can stand up to people.85701:02:06.639 --> 01:02:09.840
I can't do that. I'm so skinny, I'll blow away85801:02:09.840 --> 01:02:13.400
in the wind. Laura Lee really wanted to tell her85901:02:13.440 --> 01:02:18.000
the truth. Hey, this is where we work. Couldn't let86001:02:18.039 --> 01:02:22.199
those assholes do what they did. Seeing they were alone again,86101:02:22.639 --> 01:02:25.719
at least for the moment, they returned to the back86201:02:26.480 --> 01:02:32.400
and resumed their heated makeout session. When their shifts were over,86301:02:32.440 --> 01:02:36.320
the girls went back to Malissan's house. I'm guessing my86401:02:36.440 --> 01:02:41.800
parents are home now, she said, sadly, we'll see, Laura86501:02:41.880 --> 01:02:45.360
Lee replied. When Laura Lee took and held her hand,86601:02:45.480 --> 01:02:50.400
melissand asked if not spend the night with me again.86701:02:51.599 --> 01:02:55.880
Laura Lee smiled, you know I will. But when the86801:02:55.880 --> 01:02:59.960
girls reached the house, they saw a most unwelcome vis86901:03:00.039 --> 01:03:07.320
vi Uncle Louie melissand asked, what do you want. I've87001:03:07.360 --> 01:03:10.719
been by here the last couple of days. He answered, rudely,87101:03:11.320 --> 01:03:14.800
seems your parents ain't home. Wanna tell me where they're at?87201:03:15.920 --> 01:03:20.639
Melissan shrugged, I don't even know. Louis moved from the87301:03:20.679 --> 01:03:25.639
porch and shoved Melissan. Goddamn devil worshiping bitch. You probably87401:03:25.719 --> 01:03:28.639
killed him for Satan to keep giving you your black magics,87501:03:28.639 --> 01:03:32.639
didn't you, which would explain some of them red stains87601:03:32.679 --> 01:03:35.519
I found in the living room. Guess you didn't clean87701:03:35.599 --> 01:03:38.320
up as good as you thought. He shoved her again.87801:03:39.000 --> 01:03:41.159
I got a good mind to beat your fucking ass87901:03:41.159 --> 01:03:44.840
and drag you to church. You ungrateful little bitch, never88001:03:44.880 --> 01:03:49.039
did like you. Always thought you was of waste, melissand88101:03:49.079 --> 01:03:53.400
always hated Uncle Louie. Now she was very angry, and88201:03:53.440 --> 01:03:57.039
she shoved him back. Get the fuck out of here88301:03:57.920 --> 01:04:01.880
or what? He challenged. We both know you ain't got nothing.88401:04:02.320 --> 01:04:06.719
You ain't even a hundred pounds soaking wet. Then he88501:04:06.800 --> 01:04:10.599
slapped her across the face. Come on, call your lord88601:04:10.639 --> 01:04:14.159
and master Satan to come and strike me down. Laura88701:04:14.280 --> 01:04:16.840
Lee was seething with anger when she suddenly stood in88801:04:16.960 --> 01:04:20.519
between them. You heard what she said, Get the fuck88901:04:20.559 --> 01:04:23.159
out of here. I already called the cops once today.89001:04:24.159 --> 01:04:27.639
Louis wasn't backing down. Get out of my face before89101:04:27.679 --> 01:04:31.199
I belt you. But Laura Lee wouldn't oblige and waited89201:04:31.199 --> 01:04:33.639
for Louie to make good on his threat, but he89301:04:33.719 --> 01:04:37.599
never did. Melissan was so angry she jumped on Louie's89401:04:37.639 --> 01:04:39.960
back when he turned away and pulled on his hair.89501:04:40.559 --> 01:04:44.119
Get the fuck out of here, she screamed. I fucking89601:04:44.760 --> 01:04:49.480
hate you. Louis tried throwing her off, but Melissand held fast.89701:04:50.400 --> 01:04:53.119
He finally tripped and fell, with melissand right on top89801:04:53.159 --> 01:04:57.239
of him. Laura Lee eased her off. Then he got89901:04:57.360 --> 01:05:00.199
up and glared at both of them. I'll be back,90001:05:00.239 --> 01:05:04.239
you fucking satanists, he promised. I'm gonna get to the90101:05:04.280 --> 01:05:07.760
bottom of this. Louis yelled and cursed as he left90201:05:07.800 --> 01:05:11.639
the property. Laura Lee turned to Melissan and held her close.90301:05:12.719 --> 01:05:15.599
I'm so sorry, honey, I feel like this is all90401:05:15.639 --> 01:05:21.559
my fault. Please don't leave me tonight, Melissan pleaded. He'll90501:05:21.559 --> 01:05:25.760
be back. I know he will. Laura Lee considered it.90601:05:26.559 --> 01:05:31.000
Go inside, lock the doors, and calm down. I'll go90701:05:31.039 --> 01:05:35.360
and get us some dinner. Sound good. She felt Melissan90801:05:35.519 --> 01:05:38.840
nod on her shoulder. When they separated, they shared a90901:05:38.880 --> 01:05:43.679
quick kiss. When Laura Lee left, Melissan went inside again.91001:05:43.960 --> 01:05:48.239
She felt her parents were nowhere to be found, and91101:05:48.280 --> 01:05:57.880
she was starting to wonder. Louis La Paula stopped in91201:05:57.920 --> 01:06:00.760
at a nearby tavern. He ordered a few shots of91301:06:00.800 --> 01:06:03.880
whiskey and started yelling to the bartender about the two91401:06:04.000 --> 01:06:06.519
devil worshiping girls who were to blame for his being91501:06:06.559 --> 01:06:10.679
pissed off. Then he ordered another shot of whiskey. As91601:06:10.679 --> 01:06:13.440
he was about to drink it, he felt someone right91701:06:13.519 --> 01:06:19.239
next to him. Rough night, motherfucker. Louis turned to see91801:06:19.280 --> 01:06:22.519
Laura Lee pick up his whiskey shot and splash it91901:06:22.559 --> 01:06:27.320
in his face. You fucking bitch, he yelled, but Laura92001:06:27.400 --> 01:06:29.519
Lee was out the door before he was on his feet.92101:06:30.320 --> 01:06:33.079
Louis was in hot pursuit. Laura Lee led him on92201:06:33.119 --> 01:06:35.960
a chase down a few alleyways and eventually made sure92301:06:36.280 --> 01:06:40.239
he saw her go inside an abandoned warehouse. Laura Lee92401:06:40.360 --> 01:06:42.920
led him up to the second floor, but it was92501:06:42.920 --> 01:06:48.960
on the third, where Louie finally found her completely naked.92601:06:49.840 --> 01:06:52.920
He couldn't believe it when he saw her. Do you92701:06:53.039 --> 01:06:57.400
like what you see? She purred, I'm still gonna kill92801:06:57.440 --> 01:07:01.679
your fucking ass. Louie growled and came matter. Laura Lee92901:07:01.719 --> 01:07:06.400
stood her ground, not happening. She pulled a glass shard93001:07:06.440 --> 01:07:09.559
out from behind her back and drove it up under93101:07:09.559 --> 01:07:16.360
his chin, because I just killed your fucking ass. When93201:07:16.400 --> 01:07:19.800
Louis fell onto his back, Laura Lee pounced on him93301:07:20.280 --> 01:07:24.519
and kept stabbing him with the glass. With each hard stab,93401:07:24.639 --> 01:07:29.519
blood spattered and squirted onto her naked flesh. For a93501:07:29.559 --> 01:07:32.440
brief moment, she wondered if she might actually be her93601:07:32.440 --> 01:07:38.840
Aidan personality. No, she knew for sure she was Laura93701:07:38.920 --> 01:07:44.360
Lee Hardy, Yet these days she was prone to fits93801:07:44.360 --> 01:07:46.840
of anger and rage, the same way Aidan was, both93901:07:46.840 --> 01:07:51.840
in life and in her former personality. The more she94001:07:51.880 --> 01:07:54.840
thought about it, the more she realized that all of94101:07:54.840 --> 01:07:59.760
her previous personalities were one with her, which would explain94201:07:59.840 --> 01:08:04.079
the hostility she sometimes felt that was Aiden, or the94301:08:04.239 --> 01:08:09.960
understanding that was her mother. Laura Lee moaned softly when94401:08:09.960 --> 01:08:12.679
she saw she was soaked in the blood of a94501:08:12.719 --> 01:08:17.119
self righteous bigot who crossed the line when he slapped Melissand.94601:08:18.279 --> 01:08:21.359
Even now she was still very upset, but she was94701:08:21.439 --> 01:08:24.479
calming down more knowing she had taken care of this94801:08:25.239 --> 01:08:30.199
particular problem. Laura Lee moaned again when she stood and94901:08:30.239 --> 01:08:34.720
got off Louie's corpse. Then she hugged herself when she95001:08:34.840 --> 01:08:37.359
felt the emotional pain in the pit of her stomach.95101:08:38.439 --> 01:08:41.399
She hated that people always gave Melissan such a hard95201:08:41.439 --> 01:08:45.560
time just because she was trying to find herself. She95301:08:45.640 --> 01:08:49.079
wasn't hurting anyone or anything. If anything, Melissan was a95401:08:49.159 --> 01:08:53.720
quiet and passionate creature, which was why Laura Lee realized95501:08:54.279 --> 01:08:57.479
she had fallen in love with her. As Laura Lee95601:08:57.479 --> 01:09:01.000
disposed of Louise's body, she knew she would do absolutely95701:09:01.039 --> 01:09:07.000
anything for melissand she would especially kill anyone who would95801:09:07.079 --> 01:09:10.159
come in between the two of them. She was already95901:09:10.199 --> 01:09:16.880
planning on killing Debora Lehman the first chance she got.96001:09:22.680 --> 01:09:28.039
Thursday morning, Melissand was breathing romantic breaths at her locker96101:09:28.079 --> 01:09:31.840
at Shore City East High School. She remembered waiting a96201:09:31.840 --> 01:09:34.920
bit impatiently the night before for Laura Lee to return96301:09:34.960 --> 01:09:38.279
to the house. Yes, Laura Lee made good on getting96401:09:38.279 --> 01:09:41.520
dinner for them. She had truly been listening to her96501:09:41.560 --> 01:09:45.119
when she said what her favorite food was. Laura Lee96601:09:45.159 --> 01:09:48.520
had brought home Chinese food from her favorite place, the96701:09:48.560 --> 01:09:53.039
Golden Dragon. The place was side to side with a laundromat,96801:09:53.159 --> 01:09:57.840
and the building looked run down inside, However, it looked96901:09:57.880 --> 01:10:01.239
like a five star restaurant. The food there tasted so97001:10:01.359 --> 01:10:03.680
authentic to her, she'd swear it could have been made97101:10:03.720 --> 01:10:08.399
in China itself. What was more, Laura Lee had given97201:10:08.399 --> 01:10:12.159
her a big bouquet of black roses. She didn't know97301:10:12.199 --> 01:10:14.840
where Laura Lee could have gotten fresh flowers for her97401:10:14.840 --> 01:10:20.520
that late, but Melissan cried tears of joy. Melissan and97501:10:20.560 --> 01:10:23.720
Laura Lee had again shared a heated night of intimacy97601:10:24.319 --> 01:10:28.079
before they fell asleep together. She kept wondering what that97701:10:28.199 --> 01:10:30.680
burning sensation she was feeling in the pit of her97801:10:30.760 --> 01:10:34.880
stomach was. She knew for sure that it happened whenever97901:10:35.000 --> 01:10:40.399
Laura Lee was around or when she was thinking of her. Suddenly,98001:10:40.439 --> 01:10:44.359
Melissan shrieked when the hulking form of Arnie Razor Rathman98101:10:44.920 --> 01:10:45.800
was standing there.98201:10:47.239 --> 01:10:52.439
If you thought that was scary, just you wait, weekly spooky,98301:10:52.600 --> 01:10:53.880
We'll be right back.98401:10:55.840 --> 01:11:02.399
She composed herself and gulped, Hi, what's up, I'll come98501:11:02.479 --> 01:11:07.079
join everybody. Shortly, suddenly, Razor pulled something out from behind98601:11:07.119 --> 01:11:13.840
his back. Melissan gasped when she saw another bouquet of roses,98701:11:14.520 --> 01:11:18.560
except these were blood red. She gulped and looked up98801:11:18.560 --> 01:11:23.039
into Razor's face. Will you be my date for homecoming? Melissan?98901:11:23.760 --> 01:11:29.680
Razor managed to choke out. Melissan really gulped. Now, Razor,99001:11:29.960 --> 01:11:34.720
I haven't stopped thinking about you since freshman year, he admitted.99101:11:35.319 --> 01:11:37.199
If I don't ask you out now, I know I'll99201:11:37.239 --> 01:11:40.039
regret it for the rest of my life. You don't99301:11:40.039 --> 01:11:41.920
have to go to the dance with me, Melissan. But99401:11:41.960 --> 01:11:45.479
I had to ask you. I just had to. Melissan99501:11:45.600 --> 01:11:49.039
really didn't know what to say. She never expected to99601:11:49.079 --> 01:11:53.640
get two bouquets of beautiful roses in just under twelve hours.99701:11:54.119 --> 01:11:56.640
She had been so scared of Razor ever since she99801:11:56.720 --> 01:11:59.439
first met him. She always thought he hated her and99901:11:59.479 --> 01:12:04.079
wanted to devour her in some odd way. Now she100001:12:04.239 --> 01:12:08.720
realized how completely wrong she had been about this gentle giant.100101:12:10.199 --> 01:12:12.640
Why couldn't she have understood that when he stood up100201:12:12.640 --> 01:12:17.520
for her twice and here he was carrying a burning100301:12:17.600 --> 01:12:23.159
torch for her. What's going on? A familiar voice interrupted.100401:12:23.840 --> 01:12:27.840
Raiser and Melissan saw Laura Lee standing there. She folded100501:12:27.880 --> 01:12:30.239
her arms in front of her when she saw the bouquet.100601:12:31.399 --> 01:12:36.319
In truth, she had seen everything. I guess this means100701:12:36.359 --> 01:12:39.560
you're not going to prom with me, she asked Melissan.100801:12:40.720 --> 01:12:46.640
I I Then she said to them, this just doesn't100901:12:47.279 --> 01:12:50.399
ever happen to me. When she looked from one to101001:12:50.479 --> 01:12:54.720
the other, a tears slid down her cheek. I really101101:12:54.720 --> 01:13:03.960
don't know what to do. Reese, Clairborne and Ali Prine101201:13:04.000 --> 01:13:08.039
saw Razor and Laura Lee together with Melissand and weren't101301:13:08.039 --> 01:13:12.039
believing it. How does that fucking skank get two people101401:13:12.119 --> 01:13:16.920
wanting her black heart? Reese demanded, want me to fuck101501:13:16.960 --> 01:13:20.359
him up? Ali asked, you want any of them gone?101601:13:21.279 --> 01:13:26.399
Reese turned, Ali gone, yeah, I love how you give101701:13:26.439 --> 01:13:32.319
me such great ideas. Yes, babe, I want Melissand gone,101801:13:32.479 --> 01:13:35.760
and I know just how to make that happen. The101901:13:35.840 --> 01:13:39.800
girls fully faced each other. Now, I want you to102001:13:39.840 --> 01:13:43.520
take that fist and really lay it into my face.102101:13:44.760 --> 01:13:49.600
Ali looked at her with complete shock. Reese, you heard me,102201:13:50.159 --> 01:13:54.279
I said, I want you to hit me as hard102301:13:54.359 --> 01:13:58.000
as you can Ali knew Reese well enough to know102401:13:58.760 --> 01:14:04.039
she wasn't joking. As Laura Lee and Razor waited for102501:14:04.079 --> 01:14:08.560
Melissan to say something about their current situation, some ruckus102601:14:08.600 --> 01:14:11.560
brought them out of their bubble. They looked to see102701:14:11.600 --> 01:14:16.079
Reyse Claiborne dragging herself on the floor. Melissan gasped when102801:14:16.159 --> 01:14:19.439
she saw the black eye and the bruises on Reese's face.102901:14:20.319 --> 01:14:23.119
She never thought she would ever see the day when103001:14:23.159 --> 01:14:28.199
someone would finally deck Reese. Soon Principal Theodore Gastor was103101:14:28.239 --> 01:14:31.760
on the scene. He knelt down beside Reese and helped103201:14:31.800 --> 01:14:34.439
her to her feet. Reese seemed to be in a103301:14:34.439 --> 01:14:38.520
great deal of pain. Then she saw Melissan and screamed,103401:14:39.000 --> 01:14:43.680
keep her away from me. She did this what Melissan103501:14:43.800 --> 01:14:49.199
barely squeaked, Oh that is bullshit, Razor roared. Melissan's been103601:14:49.199 --> 01:14:52.159
with Laura Lee and me. Laura Lee didn't know how103701:14:52.199 --> 01:14:55.199
to feel about Razor including her, but at least he103801:14:55.359 --> 01:14:59.439
was again going to bat for Melissan. Principal Gaster wasn't103901:14:59.439 --> 01:15:02.960
hearing it, however, and pointed right at Melissan. Get the104001:15:03.000 --> 01:15:05.760
hell out of my school right now, you little degenerate.104101:15:06.239 --> 01:15:10.640
You are suspended, suspended, and furthermore, don't even bother coming104201:15:10.640 --> 01:15:13.560
to the homecoming dance. You're out for the homecoming crown.104301:15:13.840 --> 01:15:17.760
You can come back to school on November first. Melissan104401:15:17.840 --> 01:15:22.159
tightened her fists, gazed up at the ceiling, and screamed104501:15:22.199 --> 01:15:25.439
at the top of her lungs. Other students who saw104601:15:25.520 --> 01:15:30.119
her quickly got away from her. When she lowered her head.104701:15:31.000 --> 01:15:34.600
She was crying. She couldn't believe Principal Gast just took104801:15:34.720 --> 01:15:40.439
Rhese's side without hearing hers. I didn't do it, she104901:15:40.600 --> 01:15:47.880
squeaked out. Now, Principal Gaster yelled as Melissan turned to leave.105001:15:48.359 --> 01:15:52.079
One of the other homecoming queen candidates and a popular cheerleader,105101:15:52.560 --> 01:15:56.239
Daphne Ridley, sneered at her, You'll always be on the105201:15:56.279 --> 01:16:00.600
outside looking in, Satan. Why don't you just get hint105301:16:00.800 --> 01:16:06.000
and keep on walking. She'll never belong here again. When105401:16:06.000 --> 01:16:09.479
Principal Gaster let even Daphne's comment pass without a word,105501:16:09.720 --> 01:16:14.199
Melissan couldn't stop herself from crying more as she slowly105601:16:14.279 --> 01:16:18.359
walked out through the main doors. Deborah Lehman and Melinda105701:16:18.359 --> 01:16:22.960
Bright both saw everything, and then Deborah gasped with a105801:16:22.960 --> 01:16:27.920
look of horror when she saw Laura Lee Hardy. She105901:16:28.039 --> 01:16:33.279
approached her former lover and barely whispered in horror, it106001:16:33.319 --> 01:16:39.079
can't be you. You're dead. Laura Lee responded by smiling106101:16:39.720 --> 01:16:43.159
and giving her the finger. Then she left to go106201:16:43.239 --> 01:16:51.520
after Melissan, knowing she could not be alone. Thursday evening,106301:16:52.760 --> 01:16:57.039
Daphne Ridley had just gotten home from cheerleading practice. Her106401:16:57.079 --> 01:16:59.800
now ex boyfriend Russell Vickers was waiting for her on106501:16:59.840 --> 01:17:03.560
her front porch. Daphne looked at him with both anger106601:17:04.159 --> 01:17:08.159
and awe. I fucking told you I was done with you,106701:17:09.560 --> 01:17:12.640
But what if I'm not done with you? Russell sneered.106801:17:13.279 --> 01:17:15.600
She came up on the porch and dropped her backpack.106901:17:16.359 --> 01:17:20.199
Um gee, let me think I only caught you feeling107001:17:20.279 --> 01:17:25.399
up that ugly bitch Abby Gables this morning, Russell shrugged. Hey,107101:17:26.199 --> 01:17:28.520
she came and threw herself at me, and I'm a guy,107201:17:28.680 --> 01:17:32.439
of course I'm gonna feel her up. Daphne pointed to107301:17:32.479 --> 01:17:36.680
the street, Get the fuck off my porch, you disgusting pig.107401:17:37.880 --> 01:17:41.159
When he wouldn't obey her, Daphne groaned, picked up her107501:17:41.199 --> 01:17:45.079
bag and went to go inside to call the police. Suddenly,107601:17:45.159 --> 01:17:47.319
Russell was on her and pushed her into the house107701:17:47.880 --> 01:17:51.199
after closing the door behind him, Russell forced Daphne to107801:17:51.239 --> 01:17:54.760
the couch and pushed her down on it. He got107901:17:54.800 --> 01:17:58.039
on top of her and held her arms down. Your108001:17:58.039 --> 01:18:02.039
parents ain't home, he said coolly. That means we got108101:18:02.039 --> 01:18:07.399
the whole house to ourselves. Get off of me, Daphne yelled.108201:18:08.039 --> 01:18:12.479
He gave her a predatory grin. Yeah, you know, I'm108301:18:12.520 --> 01:18:15.800
the guy you gotta have every day, and right now108401:18:15.880 --> 01:18:20.199
you're fiending. Daphne roared and fought to get Russell off her.108501:18:20.560 --> 01:18:22.880
She tried turning her head when he went to kiss her,108601:18:23.159 --> 01:18:26.359
which proved futile when he sucked on her neck instead.108701:18:27.319 --> 01:18:29.800
She roared again and tried to fight him off, but108801:18:29.880 --> 01:18:32.760
he was too strong for her. She turned her head108901:18:32.800 --> 01:18:35.880
to yell at him again, allowing Russell to finally connect109001:18:35.920 --> 01:18:39.800
with her mouth. Daphne growled when he thrusted his tongue109101:18:39.800 --> 01:18:43.600
deep inside. When her growls turned into groaning, Russell knew109201:18:44.359 --> 01:18:47.640
he had her. Daphne sucked on his tongue and then109301:18:47.720 --> 01:18:51.079
wrestled it with her own. It wasn't long before Russell109401:18:51.159 --> 01:18:54.399
let her arms go for them to wrap around him.109501:18:55.479 --> 01:18:58.439
Daphne had one last bit of restraint left when she109601:18:58.479 --> 01:19:01.600
felt him trying to lift up her t shirt. When109701:19:01.640 --> 01:19:05.159
his hands found two mounds of soft flesh underneath, her109801:19:05.239 --> 01:19:09.800
resistance was conquered. It wasn't long before Russell got Daphne109901:19:09.840 --> 01:19:14.840
completely naked. Then she watched him quickly undress. He lowered110001:19:14.920 --> 01:19:17.800
himself on top of her so they could kiss again.110101:19:19.159 --> 01:19:22.119
The lovers easily got around of hot and heavy sexin110201:19:22.560 --> 01:19:27.000
before Daphne suggested they continue up in the shower. When110301:19:27.039 --> 01:19:29.159
he got her off, she took him by the hand110401:19:29.680 --> 01:19:33.039
and led him upstairs. As soon as they were in110501:19:33.079 --> 01:19:36.600
the shower, Daphne got it running. Then she glared at him.110601:19:37.159 --> 01:19:40.159
I'm still mad at you. She pushed up on her110701:19:40.159 --> 01:19:43.880
own en dowed breasts. Mine are so much better than110801:19:43.880 --> 01:19:46.399
that ugly bit you were feeling up this morning, and110901:19:46.560 --> 01:19:49.800
you still felt her up anyway, What the fuck's your problem, Russell?111001:19:50.119 --> 01:19:52.479
Ain't I good enough for you? Maybe I ought to111101:19:52.520 --> 01:19:54.720
start getting hot and heavy with your friends and letting111201:19:54.760 --> 01:19:59.760
you catch us together. Hearing this, Russell realized Daphne had111301:19:59.760 --> 01:20:04.760
become the girl he couldn't be without either. Okay, okay,111401:20:05.800 --> 01:20:10.520
no more fucking around, I promise. Daphne sneered yeah, right,111501:20:10.840 --> 01:20:13.520
you think I don't see you undressing Melissan La Paula111601:20:13.680 --> 01:20:16.159
with your eyes every time you see her. I know111701:20:16.239 --> 01:20:19.239
you want to fuck her. Why she ain't nothing but111801:20:19.319 --> 01:20:22.359
skin and bones. She probably shatter as soon as you111901:20:22.439 --> 01:20:25.800
lay on top of her. Daphne wanted to tell him112001:20:25.800 --> 01:20:30.199
to leave again, but he kissed her hungrily. She returned112101:20:30.199 --> 01:20:34.079
the favor, and the dysfunctional couple again went hot and heavy.112201:20:35.359 --> 01:20:39.560
I like it, spooky, weekly, spooky. We'll be right back.112301:20:41.560 --> 01:20:45.720
After several minutes, they finished another round. It was then112401:20:45.760 --> 01:20:50.000
when the shower door suddenly opened. The couple screamed when112501:20:50.000 --> 01:20:52.119
they saw the girl with the electric carving knife in112601:20:52.159 --> 01:20:55.319
her hands. Russell groaned when the lethal blade came to112701:20:55.399 --> 01:20:59.000
life and went across his throat. Then the blade cut112801:20:59.039 --> 01:21:03.600
into his stomach and shredded his muscular flesh and internal organs.112901:21:04.159 --> 01:21:07.800
Blood and bits of flesh sprayed everywhere. Daphne screamed as113001:21:07.800 --> 01:21:11.000
her boyfriend splattered all over her. She screamed louder as113101:21:11.000 --> 01:21:14.479
she quickly burst from the shower and ran. She had113201:21:14.520 --> 01:21:17.439
never been so scared as when she heard the insane113301:21:17.520 --> 01:21:22.399
laughter leaving the bathroom and coming after her. Daphne wasn't113401:21:22.399 --> 01:21:25.119
even thinking straight when she threw open the front door113501:21:25.399 --> 01:21:29.600
and darted outside, naked and mostly soaked with Russell's blood113601:21:30.039 --> 01:21:33.800
and bits of flesh and organs. She screamed a blood113701:21:33.840 --> 01:21:36.880
curdling scream as she ran across the street and down113801:21:36.920 --> 01:21:40.359
an alley. She never heard any of the approving whistles113901:21:40.399 --> 01:21:43.960
from the males who had seen her streaking. Daphne ran114001:21:44.119 --> 01:21:49.039
and ran, and ran and ran. Daphne saw the end114101:21:49.039 --> 01:21:53.319
of the alley and began to whimper. As soon as114201:21:53.319 --> 01:21:54.920
she was out in the middle of the next street.114301:21:55.760 --> 01:21:59.479
She barely made a peep or comprehended that a car114401:22:00.119 --> 01:22:03.520
had just slammed into her and sent her flying several114501:22:03.640 --> 01:22:08.319
yards before she landed hard on the road. She was114601:22:08.359 --> 01:22:10.720
in great pain and cried as she felt her spine114701:22:10.800 --> 01:22:13.319
twisted in ways she knew it was never meant to be.114801:22:14.359 --> 01:22:17.520
She could only hear the door open and the footsteps114901:22:17.520 --> 01:22:21.439
coming towards her. You've been taking cheap shots at my115001:22:21.640 --> 01:22:27.039
melissand especially this morning at school, she heard. So I'm115101:22:27.079 --> 01:22:33.039
taking some cheap shots at you. Please, Daphne choked out,115201:22:34.359 --> 01:22:39.600
Please leave me alone. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. A long pause,115301:22:40.800 --> 01:22:46.880
then she heard the response okay, you're forgiven. She heard115401:22:46.920 --> 01:22:49.359
the girl walk back into her car and get in.115501:22:50.479 --> 01:22:54.079
The last sounds Daphne Ridley would ever hear would be115601:22:54.159 --> 01:22:59.680
the car backing up, followed by the tires squealing. Then115701:22:59.760 --> 01:23:04.399
she felt the front tire running over her head. She115801:23:04.560 --> 01:23:07.920
was already dead before the back tire crushed her skull115901:23:08.319 --> 01:23:14.399
and brain inside. Daphne's body twitched for several seconds before116001:23:14.439 --> 01:23:23.840
it stopped forever. Late Thursday, Deborah didn't want to believe it,116101:23:23.880 --> 01:23:26.560
but she recognized Laura Lee Hardy as plain as the116201:23:26.600 --> 01:23:29.920
nose on her own face. She waited until late to116301:23:29.960 --> 01:23:32.520
sneak out of her house and drive out to Green116401:23:32.600 --> 01:23:37.239
Lawn Cemetery. She kept wondering again and again, but it116501:23:37.520 --> 01:23:41.279
was confirmed by the Strickfield PD that Laura Lee Hardy116601:23:41.520 --> 01:23:47.039
was indeed killed at Strickfield High's prom last spring. Deborah116701:23:47.119 --> 01:23:49.439
practically hit the side of the main entrance as she116801:23:49.560 --> 01:23:52.960
drove into the cemetery. She could feel her heart racing116901:23:53.000 --> 01:23:56.239
as she got closer to the location. After she stopped117001:23:56.279 --> 01:23:58.800
the car and got out, she ran to Laura Lee's117101:23:58.800 --> 01:24:04.720
grave and dropped to her knees. Oh my god, she choked.117201:24:05.840 --> 01:24:08.439
No two ways about it. The grave looked like the117301:24:08.479 --> 01:24:11.680
corpse had indeed come out of its coffin. Right away,117401:24:11.760 --> 01:24:15.600
she realized what had happened me Linda had talked Melissan117501:24:15.720 --> 01:24:19.439
into reading a black magic spell right in front of117601:24:19.520 --> 01:24:25.119
Laura Lee's grave. Well, clearly there was no supposedly about this.117701:24:25.520 --> 01:24:28.399
Laura Lee Hardy was indeed back from the dead, and117801:24:28.439 --> 01:24:31.960
now she was with Melissan. She knew she had to117901:24:32.000 --> 01:24:37.239
warn her friends immediately, especially Melissan. As Deborah turned and118001:24:37.359 --> 01:24:40.720
ran back to her car, someone grabbed her from behind118101:24:41.319 --> 01:24:45.520
and drove a knife right into her side. Deborah groaned118201:24:45.520 --> 01:24:49.039
in pain. Before she could react, the knife was removed,118301:24:49.880 --> 01:24:53.640
then she was shoved onto her side. The next thing118401:24:53.680 --> 01:24:58.600
Deborah knew she heard her car starting. Deborah forced herself118501:24:58.680 --> 01:25:02.439
to her feet and tried run. She didn't get far118601:25:02.560 --> 01:25:06.600
before she was hit by her own car. She tumbled118701:25:06.600 --> 01:25:09.760
onto the hood, cracked the windshield and went over the top,118801:25:10.239 --> 01:25:13.840
tumbled down to the trunk, and slammed right onto the asphalt.118901:25:15.600 --> 01:25:18.439
The last thing she heard was her attacker getting out119001:25:18.439 --> 01:25:23.760
of the car and walking away. Deborah tried reaching out119101:25:23.800 --> 01:25:31.239
when she barely saw the girl's back. Fuck you, Laura Lee.119201:25:31.279 --> 01:25:37.520
She managed to get out before she slipped away into unconsciousness,119301:25:38.319 --> 01:25:47.520
perhaps the cold blackness that came with death. Friday morning,119401:25:48.479 --> 01:25:52.319
melissand La Paula returned to Shore City East High School legally.119501:25:52.840 --> 01:25:56.319
Principal Theodore Gastor scowled at her as she walked by him.119601:25:56.920 --> 01:25:59.800
As always, she was clad in black and wearing her119701:26:00.079 --> 01:26:05.000
acup as any goth girl would. What happened, Laura Lee119801:26:05.039 --> 01:26:07.960
Alexandra caught up to her after she left the school119901:26:08.000 --> 01:26:12.039
the day before. Soon Arnie Razor Rathman would skip school120001:26:12.079 --> 01:26:15.479
to join them. Laura Lee wasn't too keen on Razor120101:26:15.560 --> 01:26:18.600
being there, but she felt he truly wanted to help120201:26:18.640 --> 01:26:22.800
malissand Malissan just wanted things to end, but her two120301:26:22.880 --> 01:26:25.520
love interests both talked her into going to the school120401:26:25.600 --> 01:26:29.560
board and pleading her case. They both said they would120501:26:29.600 --> 01:26:33.159
go with her. Key school board members agreed to meet120601:26:33.199 --> 01:26:36.319
with Melissan. At the end of the meeting, they told120701:26:36.319 --> 01:26:40.239
her to return to school the next morning. One of120801:26:40.279 --> 01:26:43.920
them picked up the phone and called Principal Gaster. Melissand120901:26:44.079 --> 01:26:48.439
was officially reinstated to both school and the running for121001:26:48.520 --> 01:26:52.439
homecoming Queen. Members of the school board were at Shore121101:26:52.479 --> 01:26:56.159
City East High to conduct an investigation. They even pulled121201:26:56.199 --> 01:27:00.199
Reese and Ali in for questioning, but it seemed they121301:27:00.199 --> 01:27:03.439
had their stories straight. The school board could not prove121401:27:03.479 --> 01:27:06.720
that Reese had orchestrated the attack on Melissan, and both121501:27:06.760 --> 01:27:10.840
girls were allowed to remain in school. Malissan was glad121601:27:10.880 --> 01:27:14.439
to be cleared, but she was angry that Reese had121701:27:14.479 --> 01:27:19.039
gotten away with whatever she wanted. When lunch period came,121801:27:19.119 --> 01:27:22.279
both Razor and Laura Lee met up with Melissan. Laura121901:27:22.399 --> 01:27:26.520
Lee really wanted to kill Razor, but he hadn't said122001:27:26.640 --> 01:27:30.000
or done anything against her. He wasn't even trying to122101:27:30.039 --> 01:27:33.960
fight her. Melissan could clearly see the tension between the122201:27:33.960 --> 01:27:39.119
two of them. Yeah, I know I need to choose122301:27:39.119 --> 01:27:43.800
between you two, she said, sadly. I really can't believe122401:27:43.840 --> 01:27:48.560
this is happening to me. I'm truly sorry about being conflicted.122501:27:49.520 --> 01:27:53.520
Razor put a gentle hand on her shoulder. Just tell122601:27:53.560 --> 01:27:56.119
me you're with Laura Lee here, and I promise I'll122701:27:56.159 --> 01:27:59.199
leave you alone. I had to tell you how I felt,122801:28:00.039 --> 01:28:04.479
that's all, Malissan. Malissan tightened her fists and cried a little.122901:28:05.760 --> 01:28:08.399
And that's why I can't make a choice. I really123001:28:08.399 --> 01:28:10.720
don't want to break anybody's heart. But that's exactly what's123101:28:10.760 --> 01:28:15.479
going to happen here. Please understand. Laura Lee turned to123201:28:15.560 --> 01:28:18.920
Razor to be fair, I was the one who was123301:28:18.960 --> 01:28:22.000
seeing Malissan before you came along and poured your heart123401:28:22.000 --> 01:28:26.560
out to her. Razor addressed Laura Lee. I didn't ask123501:28:26.600 --> 01:28:29.199
to feel the way I feel about her. Stop it,123601:28:29.319 --> 01:28:33.119
both of you, Malissan pleaded. She raised her hands in123701:28:33.119 --> 01:28:36.239
front of her. I think there's only one way everybody123801:28:36.239 --> 01:28:42.920
wins here, she explained her idea. Laura Lee's eyes opened wide.123901:28:43.079 --> 01:28:47.359
Are you serious right now? Razor also understood, as he124001:28:47.399 --> 01:28:51.399
pointed repeatedly from one girl to the other. You mean124101:28:52.920 --> 01:28:56.720
go to homecoming together all three of us. People are124201:28:56.760 --> 01:29:01.000
gonna think we're one of those thrupples or something. Melissan124301:29:01.159 --> 01:29:04.960
still looked sad. It's just for homecoming, you guys. This124401:29:05.079 --> 01:29:06.840
is the only way I can think of to where124501:29:07.800 --> 01:29:11.600
everybody wins here. She raised her finger, and I do124601:29:11.720 --> 01:29:14.680
not want either of you fighting over me. I mean that.124701:29:15.880 --> 01:29:18.720
Laura Lee and Razor both looked at each other and124801:29:18.760 --> 01:29:27.880
then back to Melissand. Friday afternoon, Malissan and Laura Lee124901:29:28.000 --> 01:29:31.760
were off from Roth's rings when Laura Lee suggested they125001:29:31.800 --> 01:29:36.319
get their hair done for homecoming. Malissand was reluctant. Then125101:29:36.399 --> 01:29:38.960
she remembered she needed to have a little maintenance done125201:29:39.000 --> 01:29:42.359
and changed her mind. Laura Lee remembered a mall she125301:29:42.479 --> 01:29:46.359
used to love visiting during her first lifetime and suggested125401:29:46.399 --> 01:29:49.319
they get their hair done at the Great Mall of125501:29:49.399 --> 01:29:52.880
Shore City. After taking an uber to get there, the125601:29:52.920 --> 01:29:57.000
girls walked around the grand, three story place of commerce.125701:29:57.800 --> 01:30:01.479
Laura Lee immediately remembered Strickfield Town Center Mall from her125801:30:01.560 --> 01:30:05.159
days in that village. She hated that the Strickfield Mall125901:30:05.239 --> 01:30:07.960
always seemed to be on the verge of closing down126001:30:08.439 --> 01:30:12.600
when it wasn't around the holidays. But this mall was126101:30:12.640 --> 01:30:16.600
the biggest in this megalopolis. While many malls across the126201:30:16.640 --> 01:30:19.640
country had shown hard times, the Great Mall of Shore126301:30:19.680 --> 01:30:21.800
City seemed to be one of the very few that126401:30:21.920 --> 01:30:26.840
time had forgotten. Malissan couldn't believe the many people that126501:30:26.960 --> 01:30:32.119
patronized this mall. Also, there were no vacancies. If this126601:30:32.239 --> 01:30:34.960
mall ever had one, it wasn't too long before another126701:30:35.000 --> 01:30:38.520
business came in to occupy it. It was no secret126801:30:38.520 --> 01:30:40.920
that there was a waiting list for businesses wanting to126901:30:41.079 --> 01:30:43.720
establish inside this mall.127001:30:44.800 --> 01:30:48.520
Don't go away weekly, Spooky will be right back.127101:30:51.159 --> 01:30:54.159
Malissan wasn't as enthused about the mall as Laura Lee127201:30:54.279 --> 01:30:57.760
seemed to be, but she allowed that it was seemingly127301:30:57.800 --> 01:31:02.119
an escape from her mundane reac Also, she was holding127401:31:02.119 --> 01:31:05.279
hands with Laura Lee as they walked around and succumbed127501:31:05.279 --> 01:31:08.600
to its spectacle. It was when they were finally on127601:31:08.680 --> 01:31:12.119
the third floor that they came to Dedris, a salon127701:31:12.199 --> 01:31:16.640
and spa Laura Lee had patronized many times before. It127801:31:16.800 --> 01:31:19.520
wasn't long before the girls signed in and were waiting127901:31:19.560 --> 01:31:23.760
their turns. Laura Lee flirted with Melissan by gently petting128001:31:23.760 --> 01:31:27.479
her hand. Soon she snatched Laura Lee's hand and held it.128101:31:28.600 --> 01:31:31.560
Only a few short minutes later, Belinda Bright and Deenie128201:31:31.680 --> 01:31:35.920
Ingalls walked in. Belinda quickly greeted Melissan and Laura Lee128301:31:35.920 --> 01:31:38.760
before she said Genie asked me if I knew a128401:31:38.760 --> 01:31:40.760
great place to get her hair done for tomorrow. So128501:31:41.399 --> 01:31:44.880
I suggested here. Guess you two had the same idea. Huh.128601:31:45.159 --> 01:31:50.159
Melissan smiled, Yeah, this was Laura Lee's idea. Then Genie128701:31:50.239 --> 01:31:55.000
looked at Laura Lee and melissand with great admiration. Melissan.128801:31:55.680 --> 01:31:57.880
I know we're both in the running for the homecoming128901:31:57.920 --> 01:32:01.159
crown and everything. She quickly waved her hands in front129001:32:01.159 --> 01:32:03.119
of her, but I'm not here to give you a129101:32:03.119 --> 01:32:07.399
hard time. She lowered her hands and smiled. I am129201:32:07.479 --> 01:32:10.159
amazed that you two are both going out with Arnie129301:32:10.199 --> 01:32:13.600
Rathman now. Laura Lee and Malissan looked at each other,129401:32:14.199 --> 01:32:17.560
Then they turned back to Melinda and Genie. Oh, yeah,129501:32:17.640 --> 01:32:20.960
it was all over the school. Belinda told them, you129601:32:21.079 --> 01:32:26.000
guys didn't know. We didn't exactly go around telling everybody129701:32:26.079 --> 01:32:29.960
about it. Laura Lee said, I'm sure Razor didn't say anything.129801:32:30.279 --> 01:32:34.359
Malissan said, he's not like that. Genie gave them an129901:32:34.359 --> 01:32:37.840
apologetic look. You three didn't have to. Some of the130001:32:37.840 --> 01:32:40.560
girls at our high school can read body language real good.130101:32:41.039 --> 01:32:43.520
They were the ones who told everybody. She waved her130201:32:43.520 --> 01:32:46.359
hand in front of them again. I'm happy for you three,130301:32:46.399 --> 01:32:52.520
I really am. We're not really a full blown thrupple.130401:32:52.920 --> 01:32:57.479
Laura Lee said, no, this was just a temporary solution130501:32:57.720 --> 01:33:02.479
for homecoming malissand added, at least until I can make130601:33:02.560 --> 01:33:05.760
up my damn mind. She gave an apologetic look to130701:33:05.800 --> 01:33:09.439
Laura Lee again, be Linda seemed to remember something and130801:33:09.520 --> 01:33:13.159
pointed at Malissan. Hey girl, if you're not staying with130901:33:13.199 --> 01:33:15.039
me anymore, my parents kind of want you to come131001:33:15.079 --> 01:33:19.960
and get your things. Oh sorry, Melinda, Malissan replied, have131101:33:20.159 --> 01:33:22.359
just been through a lot of shit these past few days.131201:33:22.920 --> 01:33:26.279
Then she quickly said to Laura Lee, not you. Laura131301:33:26.359 --> 01:33:29.880
Lee smiled a little. I knew what you meant. Soon131401:33:29.960 --> 01:33:33.600
Deanie was called back. Belinda explained that Genie already had131501:33:33.600 --> 01:33:36.560
an appointment booked. The stylist who came out for Genie131601:33:36.560 --> 01:33:40.279
told Laura Lee and melissand they were next. When the131701:33:40.279 --> 01:33:43.760
lovers were alone again, Laura Lee turned to Malissan. I131801:33:43.800 --> 01:33:46.359
can't believe the whole goddamn school thinks were a thrupple.131901:33:46.760 --> 01:33:51.239
I mean, what the fuck again? I'm sorry, Malissan said,132001:33:52.279 --> 01:33:55.000
This is all my fault. Why did Razor have to132101:33:55.000 --> 01:33:57.640
pour his heart out to me? She groaned and bowed132201:33:57.680 --> 01:34:04.439
her head sadly. It really tugged at my heartstrings hard. Baby.132301:34:04.680 --> 01:34:08.439
It's okay, Laura Lee got up. A woman came out132401:34:08.439 --> 01:34:11.199
for the two of them. When Melissan saw they weren't132501:34:11.239 --> 01:34:14.239
being seated for styling, she looked to Laura Lee for132601:34:14.279 --> 01:34:19.600
an explanation. I sort of slipped a massage in, she admitted.132701:34:20.279 --> 01:34:26.039
I hope you're not mad. Melissan uttered, go on back, honey,132801:34:26.239 --> 01:34:28.960
Laura Lee told her. I'll be right there. I'm just132901:34:29.000 --> 01:34:31.560
gonna buy a couple of tea cocktails for us to drink.133001:34:37.079 --> 01:34:39.600
Deanie Ingalls was in the middle of getting her hair done.133101:34:40.000 --> 01:34:42.560
She was having it washed when she felt some wetness133201:34:42.560 --> 01:34:46.119
and SuDS from the shampoo get on her eyelids. It133301:34:46.159 --> 01:34:50.319
was then when the fire alarm went off. Come on, honey,133401:34:50.319 --> 01:34:53.880
we've got to go, the stylist told Genie on impulse.133501:34:53.960 --> 01:34:56.439
Denise opened her eyes and cried out when the SuDS133601:34:56.479 --> 01:35:01.000
burned on contact. Shit. Oh, I'm sorry. I guess the133701:35:01.039 --> 01:35:04.439
fire alarm scared me, the stylist stammered. Then she looked133801:35:04.439 --> 01:35:06.920
over her shoulder to see people scurrying past her to133901:35:06.920 --> 01:35:09.840
get out into the main mall. As the stylist was134001:35:09.880 --> 01:35:13.239
about to quickly rinse Janice's eyes out, she felt someone134101:35:13.279 --> 01:35:16.479
grab her from behind and jam a pair of scissors134201:35:16.600 --> 01:35:19.880
right into the side of her throat. The stylist choked134301:35:19.920 --> 01:35:22.800
and gagged on both the metal and her own blood134401:35:22.880 --> 01:35:27.319
before she collapsed and died. Blood all over her mouth.134501:35:28.520 --> 01:35:32.800
What's going on? Genie called out. Suddenly, she was grabbed134601:35:32.840 --> 01:35:35.560
by her hair and pulled back into the styling chair.134701:35:36.359 --> 01:35:39.600
You fucking bitch, You just had to bring the thruptle134801:35:39.680 --> 01:35:43.680
thing up, didn't you. Before Genie could protest, she felt134901:35:43.680 --> 01:35:46.880
an arm going around her neck and keeping her pin down.135001:35:47.800 --> 01:35:50.720
As Genie opened her mouth to scream, she felt something135101:35:51.000 --> 01:35:55.000
very hot and metallic suddenly getting shoved into her mouth135201:35:55.359 --> 01:35:59.880
and deep into her throat. Deanie choked, gagged, and tried135301:36:00.159 --> 01:36:02.920
scream as the hot curling iron was held deep in135401:36:03.000 --> 01:36:07.119
her throat until she finally died from both her injuries135501:36:07.560 --> 01:36:11.760
and being unable to breathe. The police would find Genie's135601:36:11.800 --> 01:36:15.399
body with the curling iron still in her throat later,135701:36:16.159 --> 01:36:25.479
and the dead stylist on the floor beside her. Saturday afternoon,135801:36:27.000 --> 01:36:31.000
Malissan couldn't believe it. One she was actually looking forward135901:36:31.000 --> 01:36:36.079
to going to homecoming. Two, she actually had two dates.136001:36:36.960 --> 01:36:39.800
Laura Lee and Razor agreed to her terms to attend136101:36:39.840 --> 01:36:45.239
this major high school dance as a thrupple. Laura Lee136201:36:45.319 --> 01:36:48.159
kept thinking of how many ways she could kill Razor.136301:36:49.000 --> 01:36:52.279
Try as she might, she just couldn't bring herself to136401:36:52.359 --> 01:36:56.159
harm him, even if it meant having Malissand all to herself.136501:36:58.000 --> 01:37:02.359
Razor was just such a nice guy underneath that tough exterior.136601:37:03.319 --> 01:37:06.359
Then there was the fact that he protected Malissand on136701:37:06.479 --> 01:37:09.840
a few occasions. Laura Lee had to at least give136801:37:09.920 --> 01:37:13.760
him kudos for that. She reasoned that her calmness came136901:37:13.840 --> 01:37:17.680
from the mother part of her combined personality. Also, Laura137001:37:17.760 --> 01:37:21.319
Lee was curious to see how this rather unusual date137101:37:21.840 --> 01:37:26.279
would turn out. Razor picked up both girls and his convertible.137201:37:26.720 --> 01:37:29.520
From there, they trusted him to take them someplace nice137301:37:30.000 --> 01:37:34.039
for dinner. Apparently Razor had been listening to Melissand when137401:37:34.079 --> 01:37:36.880
she talked, too, because he pulled in at that run137501:37:36.960 --> 01:37:42.800
down building that housed both a laundromat and the Golden Dragon. Wow,137601:37:43.279 --> 01:37:49.439
Melissan breathed twice in one week. Razer looked uncertain. Sorry,137701:37:49.520 --> 01:37:52.399
I didn't know you ate here already, Malissan. If you137801:37:52.439 --> 01:37:55.640
want to go somewhere else, no, No, this is perfect,137901:37:56.039 --> 01:38:01.319
Malissan replied, unless you don't want to come here. No,138001:38:01.560 --> 01:38:05.600
I love this place too. Let's eat here. She quickly agreed.138101:38:06.399 --> 01:38:08.279
They all got out of the car and went in.138201:38:09.159 --> 01:38:12.399
They were immediately seated at their table which they saw138301:38:12.479 --> 01:38:16.960
had a reserved sign on it. Hugh did this, Laura138401:38:17.039 --> 01:38:22.760
Lee asked Razor. Razor shrugged. Hey, Laura Lee, it's homecoming.138501:38:23.439 --> 01:38:25.520
You just know people are gonna be out like we are,138601:38:25.680 --> 01:38:29.239
getting dinner before going to the dance. Why can't I138701:38:29.439 --> 01:38:32.840
fucking be mad at you? Laura Lee screamed in her138801:38:32.880 --> 01:38:36.359
own mind. After they ordered, the three of them talked138901:38:36.399 --> 01:38:39.640
about their date. When they got their food, they enjoyed139001:38:39.680 --> 01:38:43.960
it and each other's company. Malissan found herself looking at139101:38:43.960 --> 01:38:46.960
both of her wrists again, where her dates had each139201:38:47.039 --> 01:38:51.920
claimed one to place a corsage. She was looking apologetically139301:38:51.960 --> 01:38:56.319
at them again. It's all right, Laura Lee told her.139401:38:57.319 --> 01:39:02.800
I still can't decide, Malissan. I know you were dating139501:39:02.840 --> 01:39:06.520
me first, Laura Lee, I haven't forgotten that. She glanced139601:39:06.520 --> 01:39:10.239
at Razor. Then you presented me with your roses and139701:39:11.159 --> 01:39:14.479
told me how you felt. I know it wasn't easy139801:39:14.520 --> 01:39:18.640
for you to tell me. I just I don't want139901:39:18.640 --> 01:39:23.319
to break anyone's heart. She faced them both. Now, I've140001:39:23.399 --> 01:39:27.199
never had anything like this happened to me before. Please140101:39:27.279 --> 01:39:31.399
don't make me have to choose. Laura Lee and Razor140201:39:31.520 --> 01:39:38.640
both looked at each other. Reese Clairborne and Ali Prinz140301:39:38.760 --> 01:39:42.880
were driving around. It wasn't long before they recognized Razor's140401:39:42.920 --> 01:39:48.039
convertible parked outside the Golden Dragon. Really he took those140501:39:48.079 --> 01:39:52.159
two cunts to that fucking dump, Ali asked in surprise.140601:39:53.039 --> 01:39:56.319
Reese glanced at her. Only looks that way on the outside.140701:39:56.880 --> 01:39:59.399
I promise you their Chinese food is second to none.140801:40:00.079 --> 01:40:03.439
Trust me on this, you know I trust you. Ali140901:40:03.560 --> 01:40:07.479
told her he really shouldn't, you know? Reese warned her.141001:40:08.359 --> 01:40:11.000
You know how I can be. Tell me to fuck141101:40:11.000 --> 01:40:14.920
off and die? Then Ali challenged. They glanced at each141201:40:14.920 --> 01:40:18.239
other for a moment, then Reese shook her head slowly.141301:40:19.199 --> 01:40:23.560
Not when we've been through so much together. For Reese,141401:40:23.600 --> 01:40:26.640
it was just as Taylor Miron from Strickfield High had141501:40:26.640 --> 01:40:31.319
once described winning a crown the prestige. Now that she141601:40:31.399 --> 01:40:34.760
and Ali had found Malissan, Reese knew exactly how to141701:40:34.840 --> 01:40:38.119
keep her from making it to the homecoming dance. She141801:40:38.319 --> 01:40:41.399
was absolutely sure she would win the crown over Malissan,141901:40:41.840 --> 01:40:45.880
especially since it was just down to two nominees now,142001:40:46.880 --> 01:40:50.840
but she wasn't taking any chances. Reese explained her plan142101:40:50.920 --> 01:40:54.560
to Ali once they parked behind the restaurant and from there,142201:40:55.479 --> 01:40:58.680
they got out of the car to execute it.142301:41:00.119 --> 01:41:02.560
Did you hear that? Better check the locks on your142401:41:02.640 --> 01:41:06.119
doors weekly, spooky, We'll be right back.142501:41:11.000 --> 01:41:14.960
The thrupple had finished their dinner. Malissan felt her emotions142601:41:15.039 --> 01:41:18.359
rising when her dates each took a hand and held it.142701:41:19.359 --> 01:41:22.800
She could feel herself blushing and still couldn't believe this142801:41:23.000 --> 01:41:27.000
was happening to her. Going to homecoming was one thing,142901:41:27.079 --> 01:41:31.359
but this. Melissan took her hands back and excused herself143001:41:31.399 --> 01:41:34.119
to go to the restroom. She went in and washed143101:41:34.119 --> 01:41:38.159
her hands, then checked her makeup in the mirror. She143201:41:38.199 --> 01:41:41.560
had worn her best dress, which was a black ball gown.143301:41:42.560 --> 01:41:44.760
She never told anyone, but she wore it to a143401:41:44.760 --> 01:41:48.760
wealthy relative's funeral a year ago. The dress was such143501:41:48.760 --> 01:41:51.520
a beautiful thing that she cherished it and hoped to143601:41:51.520 --> 01:41:55.760
wear it again for something special. Today, she finally got143701:41:55.800 --> 01:42:01.199
her wish. Suddenly, the restroom door burst open, revealing Ali prins,143801:42:01.760 --> 01:42:04.800
you're coming with me, you little bitch, Fight me or don't.143901:42:05.199 --> 01:42:07.039
I'll beat the fuck out of you and make you144001:42:07.119 --> 01:42:11.199
come with me. She sneered. I really hope you fight me.144101:42:11.960 --> 01:42:15.479
Malissan shook her head. Why can't you and Reese just144201:42:15.560 --> 01:42:18.199
leave me alone. I never did a fucking thing to144301:42:18.239 --> 01:42:21.880
either one of you. Ali grabbed Melissan by her waist144401:42:22.079 --> 01:42:24.840
and yanked her out of the restroom. You and me144501:42:24.920 --> 01:42:29.079
are gonna get real close, at least until after Homecoming's over.144601:42:30.000 --> 01:42:34.600
But Ali underestimated exactly how thin Melissan was. The little144701:42:34.600 --> 01:42:37.399
goth girl squirmed enough to where she could slink down144801:42:37.479 --> 01:42:40.359
until she was out of Ali's arms. She quickly got144901:42:40.399 --> 01:42:43.079
to her feet and ran back out into the restaurant.145001:42:43.560 --> 01:42:47.159
Ali gave chase and knew she would easily catch Melissan.145101:42:48.159 --> 01:42:51.800
Then Razor saw what was happening and immediately stood up.145201:42:52.279 --> 01:42:55.840
He marched right in between Malissan and Ali. I mean it,145301:42:56.399 --> 01:43:01.760
He told Ali leave melissand alone, get out now. Ali145401:43:01.880 --> 01:43:05.920
wasted no time and punched Razor. Razor returned the favor,145501:43:06.079 --> 01:43:08.359
and the two of them were locked in a heated brawl.145601:43:09.000 --> 01:43:13.079
Restaurant staff came out and protested. Then Laura Lee saw145701:43:13.199 --> 01:43:16.159
Reese and decided, since there was no way she could145801:43:16.239 --> 01:43:20.119
kill Razor, she would at least kill this malignancy who145901:43:20.239 --> 01:43:25.039
kept making her presence known seemingly everywhere they went. When146001:43:25.079 --> 01:43:27.840
Reese saw Laura Lee, she grabbed a fork off one146101:43:27.880 --> 01:43:31.640
of the empty tables. Laura Lee smirked and grabbed a146201:43:31.680 --> 01:43:36.239
sharp knife off of her table. Yeah, I really think146301:43:36.279 --> 01:43:40.880
you should die right now, Laura Lee told Reese. Malissan146401:43:40.960 --> 01:43:44.199
couldn't believe this was happening on the most magical day146501:43:44.279 --> 01:43:46.199
of her life. She knew she had to put a146601:43:46.239 --> 01:43:49.840
stop to this and went outside. She quickly pulled out146701:43:49.840 --> 01:43:55.159
her smartphone and dialed the police. Suddenly, Malissan was struck146801:43:55.159 --> 01:43:57.760
on the back of her head. She dropped to the146901:43:57.800 --> 01:44:02.600
asphalt parking lot and slipped into unconsciousness as she felt147001:44:02.600 --> 01:44:12.239
her phone being taken from her. Later that afternoon, Malissan147101:44:12.399 --> 01:44:16.520
finally awakened and groaned as she stood up. She saw147201:44:16.560 --> 01:44:20.239
where she was and quickly went back inside the restaurant.147301:44:20.920 --> 01:44:23.359
Malissan put her hands to the sides of her head147401:44:23.359 --> 01:44:26.680
and uttered a blood curdling scream. She couldn't believe what147501:44:26.760 --> 01:44:31.399
she was seeing. Bodies were lying all over the restaurant.147601:44:32.119 --> 01:44:34.600
Many of them had been cut open, some of them147701:44:34.600 --> 01:44:39.640
had bullet holes. Insides were all over outsides. Blood was147801:44:39.720 --> 01:44:44.479
wetting the floor from wherever injuries were inflicted. Malissan heard147901:44:44.520 --> 01:44:48.600
people say many times that she was probably into horror movies,148001:44:48.760 --> 01:44:52.800
but the truth was she never liked them, since they148101:44:52.880 --> 01:44:57.359
truly scared her and gave her nightmares. Now she was148201:44:57.399 --> 01:45:02.079
living in her very own horror movie. Suddenly, she gasped148301:45:02.399 --> 01:45:04.920
and knew she had to find Laura Lee and raz Her.148401:45:05.680 --> 01:45:11.239
It was then when she held herself and almost cried. However,148501:45:11.600 --> 01:45:14.199
she collected herself and focused on trying to see if148601:45:14.239 --> 01:45:17.399
any of the bodies belonged to either of her dates.148701:45:18.239 --> 01:45:21.119
She prayed, like Jesus must have prayed in the Gathsemine148801:45:21.119 --> 01:45:23.680
garden that night, that she would not find either of148901:45:23.760 --> 01:45:29.800
them among the dead. Then it became too much. Melissan149001:45:29.920 --> 01:45:33.000
raced outside, dropped to her knees, and threw up her dinner.149101:45:34.399 --> 01:45:38.840
Melissan a voice called out, Laura Lee knelt down beside her.149201:45:39.880 --> 01:45:44.880
You okay, Melissan pointed inside. Then she saw the blood149301:45:44.920 --> 01:45:49.960
on Laura Lee's exposed shoulders and dress. Yeah, I know149401:45:50.000 --> 01:45:52.880
what it must look like. You should see that, rich bitch.149501:45:52.920 --> 01:45:58.159
Though Malissan quickly took Laura Lee's hand, Please tell me149601:45:58.199 --> 01:46:02.279
you saw Razor. Laura Lee didn't want to include Razor149701:46:02.319 --> 01:46:08.000
any longer, but she understood how Melissan truly felt. Razor149801:46:08.079 --> 01:46:10.560
and the muscle bitch are still fighting it out. Somewhere,149901:46:11.920 --> 01:46:16.279
Melissan saw it was almost dark. Now, how did you150001:46:16.279 --> 01:46:19.760
get so bloody? Laura Lee? When it came to that150101:46:19.920 --> 01:46:23.720
rich bitch, I fucking beat her ass. She spat blood150201:46:23.760 --> 01:46:25.479
on me when I knocked one of her teeth out.150301:46:26.279 --> 01:46:30.159
She put her hands on Melissan's shoulders. Are you okay?150401:46:31.239 --> 01:46:35.199
Malissan nodded quickly. I'm calling the police. This is all150501:46:35.239 --> 01:46:41.680
just fucking horrible. Then she remembered, fuck, someone hit me150601:46:41.720 --> 01:46:44.800
and took my phone, and I don't own a phone.150701:46:45.239 --> 01:46:48.640
Laura Lee confessed, I'll go in the restaurant and call150801:46:48.720 --> 01:46:56.800
them just outside. Debora Lehman also had a mission. She150901:46:56.880 --> 01:46:59.399
had been tailing Laura Lee hardy since she got out151001:46:59.399 --> 01:47:02.800
of the hospital. The doctor told her to stay home151101:47:03.159 --> 01:47:07.159
so her stitches in her side could heal properly. Deborah151201:47:07.279 --> 01:47:10.319
was obsessed with learning the actual truth about how her151301:47:10.359 --> 01:47:15.720
former lover was resurrected. Though she was certain she knew how,151401:47:16.680 --> 01:47:19.439
she also wondered how long it would be before Laura151501:47:19.520 --> 01:47:24.359
Lee would kill either Razor or Melissan. I've got to151601:47:24.399 --> 01:47:27.560
stop you, Laura Lee. She shook her head slowly when151701:47:27.600 --> 01:47:31.199
she saw the blood on her former lover. How many151801:47:31.199 --> 01:47:35.520
people have you killed? You monster. Deborah knew that one151901:47:35.520 --> 01:47:38.079
way or another, Laura Lee had to be killed for152001:47:38.159 --> 01:47:42.319
the second and final time. There was only one way152101:47:42.359 --> 01:47:45.239
to save her friends. She tightened her hands around the152201:47:45.239 --> 01:47:48.840
steering wheel. Seeing Laura Lee was walking away from Melissan,152301:47:49.319 --> 01:47:52.319
Deborah floored the accelerator and drove right at her prey.152401:47:53.079 --> 01:47:56.399
Malissan screamed when Deborah slammed right into Laura Lee with152501:47:56.479 --> 01:47:59.800
her car. When she was flat on her stomach, Deborah152601:47:59.840 --> 01:48:03.000
quickly turned the car around and floored it again, this152701:48:03.159 --> 01:48:07.239
time running over Laura Lee's body. Deborah stopped and quickly152801:48:07.279 --> 01:48:10.319
got out of the car. Melissan ran to her with152901:48:10.399 --> 01:48:13.399
the intention of hitting her. You fucking bitch.153001:48:13.800 --> 01:48:14.039
Why.153101:48:14.960 --> 01:48:18.319
Deborah quickly grabbed Melissan and stuffed her into her car.153201:48:18.960 --> 01:48:22.520
Then she got back behind the wheel. Melissan screamed and153301:48:22.560 --> 01:48:26.000
protested on how Deborah could just kill Laura Lee in153401:48:26.079 --> 01:48:33.560
cold blood. Deborah pointed ahead, Look, Melissan. Look. Melissan couldn't153501:48:33.560 --> 01:48:38.119
believe that Laura Lee was easily lifting herself to her feet.153601:48:39.279 --> 01:48:42.920
You saw me run her over, right, Deborah asked. Tell153701:48:42.960 --> 01:48:47.520
me you saw me run her over? Yes, Melissan squeaked.153801:48:48.039 --> 01:48:50.880
Deborah floored the gas and hit Laura Lee again to153901:48:50.960 --> 01:48:53.720
knock her to the asphalt. She turned the car around154001:48:53.760 --> 01:48:56.159
and floored it to drive over her one more time.154101:48:56.840 --> 01:48:59.439
Melissan felt like she was going to throw up again,154201:48:59.840 --> 01:49:03.600
but managed to keep it down. Then she gasped when154301:49:03.640 --> 01:49:07.119
she saw Laura Lee easily getting right back up again.154401:49:08.680 --> 01:49:12.439
What the fuck? She gasped. It had to be that154501:49:12.560 --> 01:49:15.680
spell you read at the cemetery last Saturday night. Deborah154601:49:15.760 --> 01:49:18.920
told her, you really did bring Laura Lee Hardy back154701:49:18.960 --> 01:49:23.520
to life. Now she won't fucking stay dead. Laura Lee154801:49:23.640 --> 01:49:29.039
was back to her feet and glaring at Deborah. Fuck you, you154901:49:28.439 --> 01:49:31.840
ain't never putting me back in the ground. She pointed155001:49:31.920 --> 01:49:37.199
right at Deborah. Now your ass is mine. Deborah floored155101:49:37.239 --> 01:49:40.239
the gas and hit Laura Lee one more time before155201:49:40.239 --> 01:49:42.880
she made it onto the road and drove away from155301:49:42.920 --> 01:49:49.520
the restaurant. Melissan couldn't believe it. I really brought the155401:49:49.600 --> 01:49:53.439
prom queen killer back. What else could it have been?155501:49:53.800 --> 01:49:58.640
Deborah convermed, then sighed, I got a long story to155601:49:58.760 --> 01:50:03.439
tell you. Deborah told Melissan that she was romantically involved155701:50:03.439 --> 01:50:06.279
with Laura Lee years ago and what happened with the155801:50:06.319 --> 01:50:09.680
deaths of her brother and mother. She explained how she155901:50:09.720 --> 01:50:12.199
had broken up with her because of what her brother156001:50:12.359 --> 01:50:16.600
Aidan had done. I won't tell you about the events156101:50:16.600 --> 01:50:20.319
of the Strickfield prom last spring, Deborah finished. You can156201:50:20.399 --> 01:50:24.079
find news about that everywhere online. I just know Lori156301:50:24.199 --> 01:50:29.520
Lee Hardy was killed last spring. I really brought lare156401:50:29.640 --> 01:50:33.800
Lee Hardy back to life. Molissan uttered in disbelief again,156501:50:34.359 --> 01:50:37.960
and her gut told her that Laura Lee had probably156601:50:38.039 --> 01:50:42.680
killed her parents and now she won't die, Deborah added.156701:50:43.399 --> 01:50:46.079
Soon Deborah pulled into the parking lot of their high school.156801:50:46.880 --> 01:50:51.680
It's home coming. We'll be safe here. When Deborah parked,156901:50:51.960 --> 01:50:53.800
they got out and went into the school at the157001:50:53.880 --> 01:50:57.239
side entrance. They didn't have much further to go to157101:50:57.279 --> 01:51:01.800
get to the gymnasium where the dance was. Suddenly, someone157201:51:02.159 --> 01:51:04.760
came up behind Deborah and held her as the knife157301:51:04.800 --> 01:51:10.399
went across her throat, hitting runs A very serious crime. Bitch.157401:51:11.000 --> 01:51:14.520
Where the last words Debora Lehman would ever hear. As157501:51:14.560 --> 01:51:18.760
her blood sprayed everywhere before she finally dropped to the157601:51:18.800 --> 01:51:25.840
floor and died. Laura Lee couldn't believe her eyes. Oh157701:51:25.880 --> 01:51:43.399
my god, you killed Deborah? Why? Saturday night homecoming? Reese157801:51:43.399 --> 01:51:47.239
Clairborne worked hard to make herself presentable again before coming157901:51:47.279 --> 01:51:50.000
to Shore City East High School for the homecoming dance.158001:51:50.680 --> 01:51:53.520
Out of her other five competitors nominated for the crown,158101:51:53.920 --> 01:51:57.880
she was obsessed with eliminating Melissan La Paula. She was158201:51:57.920 --> 01:52:00.359
so angry that, no matter how hard she tried to158301:52:00.399 --> 01:52:04.359
eliminate her, that skinny little goth stain refused to go away.158401:52:05.000 --> 01:52:08.159
Even after Ali Prince, her muscle girl, beat her up.158501:52:08.840 --> 01:52:12.720
Her girlfriend Laura Lee. Alexandra nearly beat Reese within an158601:52:12.720 --> 01:52:15.920
inch of her life and cost her a tooth, but158701:52:16.039 --> 01:52:19.680
Reese still would not give up and was always scheming.158801:52:20.119 --> 01:52:22.439
She had a few more Trump cards yet to play158901:52:22.479 --> 01:52:26.359
in her stacked deck. For Reese's next card, she knew159001:52:26.359 --> 01:52:29.840
exactly where the votes for Homecoming Queen were being tabulated.159101:52:30.239 --> 01:52:33.279
In fact, she easily picked the lock to the guidance159201:52:33.319 --> 01:52:37.439
office and went inside to find the telltale computer. Since159301:52:37.520 --> 01:52:41.399
nobody was inside, she sat down and saw no password159401:52:41.399 --> 01:52:45.239
protection enabled for the ancient computer that was still being159501:52:45.359 --> 01:52:50.119
used to tally votes for both Homecoming and prom Reese159601:52:50.119 --> 01:52:54.039
easily brought up the tabulation totals. She tightened her fists159701:52:54.039 --> 01:52:57.079
and squealed with fury when she saw the goth chick159801:52:57.199 --> 01:53:00.640
was the Cinderella winner and had several more votes than Reese.159901:53:01.359 --> 01:53:03.960
It wasn't even a close race between the two. The160001:53:04.079 --> 01:53:07.640
rich girl knew Malissan didn't have many friends and ascertained160101:53:07.680 --> 01:53:11.520
people only voted for her because the student body clearly160201:53:11.600 --> 01:53:16.000
hated Reese. More Reese smirked coldly as she worked the160301:53:16.079 --> 01:53:19.720
keyboard and changed the numbers to guarantee that she herself160401:53:20.079 --> 01:53:23.960
would be crowned the homecoming Queen. She laughed and said,160501:53:24.439 --> 01:53:27.319
I got you now, you fucking skank. I own your160601:53:27.319 --> 01:53:31.520
bony little ass. Now, having finished her deed, she put160701:53:31.560 --> 01:53:34.279
everything back the way she found it and snuck back160801:53:34.319 --> 01:53:37.239
out of the guidance office, locking the door behind her.160901:53:37.800 --> 01:53:40.640
From there, she went back to the dance and mingled161001:53:40.680 --> 01:53:44.039
among the other students there, unaware that she had been161101:53:44.119 --> 01:53:53.880
seen both entering and leaving. Melissan. La Paula pressed herself161201:53:53.960 --> 01:53:56.760
up against the wall as Melinda Bright came out of161301:53:56.800 --> 01:53:59.920
the shadows on her right. She was dressed for homecoming161401:54:00.079 --> 01:54:03.520
herself as she held the bloody knife she had just killed.161501:54:03.520 --> 01:54:07.079
Debora Lehman, with Laura Lee Hardy was on her left.161601:54:07.560 --> 01:54:10.680
Malissan gulped in terror when she saw how bloody her161701:54:10.760 --> 01:54:15.199
girlfriend looked, even her dress was ripped and tattered in places.161801:54:16.039 --> 01:54:19.880
Laura Lee looked at Melissan. I grabbed a few choice161901:54:19.920 --> 01:54:23.000
things under Deborah's car and let her bring me to homecoming.162001:54:23.920 --> 01:54:26.840
Then she looked at Belinda. I guess now we all162101:54:26.880 --> 01:54:30.680
know who's been picking up my scraps, don't we? Belinda162201:54:30.760 --> 01:54:34.079
screamed and ran right at Laura Lee. Malissan gulped as162301:54:34.119 --> 01:54:38.000
Velinda took Laura Lee down and stabbed her repeatedly. Just162401:54:38.399 --> 01:54:44.039
fucking die, Belinda shrieked insanely. Before long, Laura Lee stopped162501:54:44.079 --> 01:54:48.039
moving altogether. Spattered in Laura Lee's blood, Velinda got up162601:54:48.079 --> 01:54:51.680
and faced Malissan. Before the skinny goth girl could turn162701:54:51.720 --> 01:54:56.119
and run, Velinda pressed her body up against Malissan's hugh.162801:54:56.239 --> 01:55:02.039
Look so lovely, my Melissande, Linda whispered. You can make162901:55:02.119 --> 01:55:05.520
absolutely anything in black look good on you, and you163001:55:05.600 --> 01:55:11.600
always smell so sweet. Anyway, I did all this for you,163101:55:11.680 --> 01:55:18.279
my love. Melissan gulped. I don't understand, Melinda. Melinda gazed163201:55:18.319 --> 01:55:23.399
into Melissan's eyes. Then I'll show you. Melinda gently pressed163301:55:23.439 --> 01:55:26.840
her lips to Melissan's and kissed her. Her eyes were163401:55:26.840 --> 01:55:29.439
wide open, and she felt her heart ready to explode.163501:55:29.840 --> 01:55:34.960
In fear, she only kissed Welinda back to avoid getting killed. Eventually,163601:55:35.079 --> 01:55:38.840
Belinda pulled back and caressed the side of Melissan's face.163701:55:40.039 --> 01:55:43.960
I love you, Melissan, she whispered. I've loved you for163801:55:44.000 --> 01:55:49.159
so long. You're so beautiful. Melissan's eyes were still wide open.163901:55:50.319 --> 01:55:58.079
I never knew, Melinda. Suddenly, Belinda became furious. Of course164001:55:58.159 --> 01:56:00.520
you didn't. What the fuck did you did she have that?164101:56:00.560 --> 01:56:03.079
I don't huh. How come you loved her and not me?164201:56:04.119 --> 01:56:06.279
Who was always there for you when you and your164301:56:06.319 --> 01:56:09.239
parents were always fighting. She pressed the blade of the164401:56:09.319 --> 01:56:14.239
knife to Malissan's throat. Tell me right now. Malissan closed164501:56:14.239 --> 01:56:17.039
her eyes, gritted her teeth, and waited for Melinda to164601:56:17.159 --> 01:56:21.840
slice her throat. Belinda was still enraged. But Laura Lee164701:56:21.920 --> 01:56:25.479
Alexandra wasn't enough for you either, was she? Now? Your164801:56:25.520 --> 01:56:30.279
fucking Razor Rathman two? Just what the fuck you got164901:56:30.319 --> 01:56:34.439
such raging hormones? You gotta have one of each? Malissan tried,165001:56:34.479 --> 01:56:39.359
shaking her head without getting her delicate throat skin cut. No, No,165101:56:39.439 --> 01:56:42.520
you're wrong, for Linda. I never had sex with Razor.165201:56:42.960 --> 01:56:46.640
I've never been sexual with any man. Belinda knew that165301:56:46.680 --> 01:56:49.399
Melissan had been intimate with Laura Lee at least once.165401:56:50.000 --> 01:56:51.960
She had seen the two of them together at least165501:56:52.000 --> 01:56:55.720
one night. When she had slipped into Malissan's house, she165601:56:55.840 --> 01:57:00.000
removed the knife from her throat. I love you so much, Melissa,165701:57:00.680 --> 01:57:04.720
I'll never stop loving youve Linda started to cry a little.165801:57:05.439 --> 01:57:07.479
I didn't plan to fall in love with you, but165901:57:07.640 --> 01:57:10.640
I did. We've been in the same gym class for166001:57:10.680 --> 01:57:15.520
the last few years. Every time i'd see you naked,166101:57:15.560 --> 01:57:19.479
when we'd shower, I kept having these feelings. I kept166201:57:19.520 --> 01:57:22.720
wanting you to be mine. I want to have sex166301:57:22.760 --> 01:57:25.119
with you so bad. You always felt so good when166401:57:25.159 --> 01:57:27.840
you held me. Whenever we slept in my bed together.166501:57:28.399 --> 01:57:32.000
You remember back whenever you stayed at my house when166601:57:32.000 --> 01:57:36.640
you were always afraid. You always smelled so wonderful. Your166701:57:36.680 --> 01:57:40.000
skin was always so amazingly soft. Choose me, Let me166801:57:40.079 --> 01:57:43.239
show you I can be everything to you. Then Belinda166901:57:43.319 --> 01:57:47.720
became furious again. Will you fucking stop shaking, for god,167001:57:47.760 --> 01:57:49.840
damn it, to Hell's sake, I'm not gonna hurt you,167101:57:50.479 --> 01:57:55.159
she growled. Now stop being scared of me. I can't167201:57:55.239 --> 01:57:59.960
help it. Melissan choked. You're crazy. I can't believe you. Viciously.167301:58:00.000 --> 01:58:02.520
She slaughtered all those people at the Golden Dragon, and167401:58:02.560 --> 01:58:05.239
you hit me there. It had to be you. I167501:58:05.319 --> 01:58:07.439
know Laura Lee or Razor would never have hurt me.167601:58:07.960 --> 01:58:11.000
How many people did you kill? Melinda. I'm sorry I167701:58:11.039 --> 01:58:13.960
could never love you. I'm still deeply in love with167801:58:14.000 --> 01:58:16.760
Laura Lee. You'll have to kill me like you did her.167901:58:17.720 --> 01:58:20.680
Velinda began heaving at knowing that no matter what she168001:58:20.800 --> 01:58:23.760
did or how hard she tried, she would never win168101:58:23.880 --> 01:58:27.920
Malissan's heart. She tightened her fists and screamed at the ceiling.168201:58:28.319 --> 01:58:32.560
When she finished, she glared at Malissan. No, you're in168301:58:32.600 --> 01:58:36.159
love with Laura Lee, Alexandra and Arnie Rathman. You'd rather168401:58:36.199 --> 01:58:40.000
be in a threesome relationship with them than be with me. Suddenly,168501:58:40.479 --> 01:58:44.840
Belinda pushed the knife blade right back into Malissan's throat. Well,168601:58:45.439 --> 01:58:48.279
let me tell you something. If I can't have you,168701:58:48.800 --> 01:58:52.840
then no one can. Malissan was so afraid she thought168801:58:52.880 --> 01:58:55.680
she was going to die right there. She was so168901:58:55.800 --> 01:58:58.760
afraid that she lashed out, screaming as she shoved Melinda169001:58:58.800 --> 01:59:01.560
to the floor, dreamed again as she turned and ran,169101:59:01.800 --> 01:59:05.199
not even realizing where she was going. Come back here,169201:59:05.239 --> 01:59:09.840
you skinny little bitch, Velinda roared crazily. As Melissan rounded169301:59:09.880 --> 01:59:14.000
the corner, Velinda quickly tackled her. Malissan was rational enough169401:59:14.039 --> 01:59:17.720
to remember she was never an athletic person, especially with169501:59:17.840 --> 01:59:22.199
platform heels on. Velinda turned malissand onto her back and169601:59:22.239 --> 01:59:24.520
sat on top of her. She raised the knife for169701:59:24.600 --> 01:59:29.479
the kill. Then she found herself truly admiring malissand in169801:59:29.520 --> 01:59:33.439
her black ball gown. She dropped the knife and began169901:59:33.600 --> 01:59:38.359
to fondle her. I must touch you again, Velinda moaned,170001:59:39.119 --> 01:59:44.239
I must feel your pretty flesh again. Malissand breathed heavily170101:59:44.319 --> 01:59:48.479
in fear as Velinda touched her exposed skin, especially her face.170201:59:49.159 --> 01:59:54.520
She groaned when Velinda slowly licked her lips. Such beautiful170301:59:55.920 --> 02:00:04.479
soft skin, so very very soft, so pretty. Finally, Melinda170402:00:04.520 --> 02:00:09.079
stopped feeling up. Melissan, I can't wait anymore. I must170502:00:09.119 --> 02:00:12.600
have you now. Malissan screamed like she never screamed in170602:00:12.600 --> 02:00:15.800
her life. As Melinda tried ripping her dress open. For170702:00:15.880 --> 02:00:19.000
a brief moment, Malissan was seeing a bright white light170802:00:19.399 --> 02:00:23.760
and thought she was finally dying of fright. She thought170902:00:23.840 --> 02:00:25.640
she was having a heart attack.171002:00:27.640 --> 02:00:31.319
Don't go away, weakly, spooky, We'll be right back.171102:00:39.000 --> 02:00:42.319
After Melissan finally managed to calm down and come back171202:00:42.359 --> 02:00:46.920
to reality, she felt her hand being held and caressed honey.171302:00:47.720 --> 02:00:51.840
Malissan's heart began to pound again, only now was joined171402:00:51.840 --> 02:00:55.640
by the rapidly rising butterflies in her stomach. When she171502:00:55.680 --> 02:00:58.359
felt herself being eased off her back and into a171602:00:58.399 --> 02:01:02.319
sitting position, she saw the face of Laura Lee. Hardy.171702:01:03.159 --> 02:01:06.279
Her dress was still worse for wear. Aside from that,171802:01:07.119 --> 02:01:11.560
she looked fully restored once again, Are you okay, Melissan,171902:01:12.439 --> 02:01:16.279
Laura Lee whispered, caressing the side of her face. Then172002:01:16.399 --> 02:01:19.840
Melissan shifted her gaze just past Laura Lee and saw172102:01:19.960 --> 02:01:22.720
Belinda's body lying in a pool of its own blood.172202:01:23.239 --> 02:01:26.039
A fire axe had split me Linda's head almost right172302:01:26.119 --> 02:01:31.399
down the middle. You killed Velinda, Malissan managed to ask172402:01:31.479 --> 02:01:35.199
Laura Lee. When I revived and saw what Velinda intended172502:01:35.199 --> 02:01:38.159
to do to you, there was no compromise. I had172602:01:38.199 --> 02:01:42.399
to destroy her. Laura Lee began to cry, she might172702:01:42.439 --> 02:01:45.199
have killed you. I could never let that happen, Malissan.172802:01:45.800 --> 02:01:48.760
Laura Lee squeezed her hand. I love you too much.172902:01:49.920 --> 02:01:54.760
Melissan became calm again and took a deep breath. Deborah173002:01:54.760 --> 02:01:58.199
told me who you really are? Are you really Laura173102:01:58.279 --> 02:02:01.079
Lee Hardy? Did I really bring you back to life173202:02:01.079 --> 02:02:05.560
a week ago? Are you really dead? Then? She gulped,173302:02:06.399 --> 02:02:12.560
and did you kill my parents? Laura Lee looked, melissaned173402:02:12.600 --> 02:02:17.800
in her eyes. Let's answer your questions. Yes, I'm really173502:02:17.840 --> 02:02:21.279
Laura Lee Hardy very much. Yes, you did bring me173602:02:21.319 --> 02:02:23.760
back to life. Thank you from the bottom of my173702:02:23.840 --> 02:02:27.319
black heart for that. By the way, am I undead?173802:02:27.560 --> 02:02:30.760
I don't know for sure? Even after Melinda attacked me,173902:02:31.760 --> 02:02:35.399
She looked a little sad. I know you saw Deborah174002:02:35.479 --> 02:02:37.680
hit me and run me over with her car again174102:02:37.720 --> 02:02:41.760
and again. I don't feel dead, but I honestly don't174202:02:41.760 --> 02:02:45.800
know if I am or not. She cried a little more.174302:02:47.760 --> 02:02:50.840
I really don't want to lie to you. I am174402:02:51.000 --> 02:02:57.199
Laura Lee, Alexandra, but those are my first and middle names. Yes,174502:02:57.479 --> 02:03:01.359
I am a killer. I can't change that part of174602:03:01.399 --> 02:03:04.439
who I am. But I would never ever hurt you174702:03:04.560 --> 02:03:12.560
in any way. And my parents, Melissand asked quietly. Laura174802:03:12.640 --> 02:03:17.239
Lee sighed, Yes, I killed your parents a week ago.174902:03:18.279 --> 02:03:20.279
I found your house and saw how your parents were175002:03:20.319 --> 02:03:23.279
treating you. I got so pissed off that I punished175102:03:23.319 --> 02:03:27.000
them for it. There now, there are no more secrets175202:03:27.039 --> 02:03:30.439
between you and me. She stood up and helped Melissan175302:03:30.520 --> 02:03:33.640
to her feet. If you hate me now and never175402:03:33.680 --> 02:03:36.119
want to see me again, just tell me to go175502:03:36.159 --> 02:03:38.960
away and I will. I'll leave you to be with175602:03:39.039 --> 02:03:41.520
Razor then. I'm sure he'll be a very good man175702:03:41.560 --> 02:03:45.840
for you. He's got a good heart. As Laura Lee175802:03:45.840 --> 02:03:48.520
moved to let go of Malissan's hand, she felt the175902:03:48.600 --> 02:03:52.319
tiny hand tightening around her own. Laura Lee looked to176002:03:52.399 --> 02:03:57.319
melissand for an explanation. I hate to tell you, Laura Lee,176102:03:58.680 --> 02:04:02.399
but you have hurt me. You hurt me really bad.176202:04:03.199 --> 02:04:06.359
Melissan cried a little to herself. Then she put the176302:04:06.399 --> 02:04:08.840
fingertips of her free hand on the pit of her stomach.176402:04:10.079 --> 02:04:15.039
It won't stop hurting. She uttered a romantic sigh. I176502:04:15.079 --> 02:04:18.880
can't be without you now, and before Laura Lee could respond,176602:04:18.960 --> 02:04:22.439
Melissan suddenly threw her arms around her and pressed her176702:04:22.479 --> 02:04:25.960
lips with hers. Laura Lee wrapped her up in kind176802:04:26.039 --> 02:04:30.880
and kissed her back. They shared a long, deep, passionate kiss,176902:04:31.039 --> 02:04:35.359
and Laura Lee knew she had finally won Melissan at last.177002:04:36.399 --> 02:04:39.119
When the girls came apart. They felt they weren't alone.177102:04:39.960 --> 02:04:42.680
A group made up of several couples were standing there177202:04:42.680 --> 02:04:45.359
and watching them kiss. Based on the way they were177302:04:45.399 --> 02:04:49.279
looking at the ghastly, gruesome scene before them, they clearly177402:04:49.600 --> 02:04:54.239
didn't approve. Get out of here, you crazy bitches, one177502:04:54.279 --> 02:04:57.279
of the girls snapped at them. Laura Lee smirked, Now177602:04:58.479 --> 02:05:02.000
you just say the word, my love. Melissan glanced at177702:05:02.079 --> 02:05:06.439
Laura Lee. Would you show me how you killed my177802:05:06.600 --> 02:05:12.720
parents with pleasure? Laura Lee picked up Melinda's knife, pulled177902:05:12.720 --> 02:05:15.479
the axe from her head, and went at the group.178002:05:16.279 --> 02:05:19.800
The sounds of screams and brutal massacring filled the hallway.178102:05:20.359 --> 02:05:23.159
By the time Laura Lee was finished, she had littered178202:05:23.159 --> 02:05:27.319
the floor with ten more bloody corpses. When Laura Lee178302:05:27.319 --> 02:05:32.439
returned to Malissan, she was soaked in their blood. Malissan178402:05:32.560 --> 02:05:37.479
smiled and put her hands on her beating heart. You're beautiful,178502:05:37.520 --> 02:05:42.560
laur Lee, Melissan gushed, you really killed people for me,178602:05:43.279 --> 02:05:47.880
my parents too. I'll kill any one who fucks with you, Malissan.178702:05:48.560 --> 02:05:53.159
Laur Lee promised her, I love you. Malissan came into178802:05:53.239 --> 02:05:56.359
lare Lee's blood drenched body so they could kiss again.178902:05:57.119 --> 02:05:59.319
She didn't care that the blood was wetting her too.179002:06:00.279 --> 02:06:03.520
When they came apart, Laura Lee took her hand. Do179102:06:03.560 --> 02:06:05.680
you want to leave now or do you want to179202:06:05.720 --> 02:06:10.560
stay and see if you've won the homecoming crown? Melissan179302:06:10.680 --> 02:06:14.319
thought about it. Can we have just one dance together?179402:06:15.079 --> 02:06:17.159
I really want to dance with you. I want everybody179502:06:17.159 --> 02:06:19.279
in that gymnasium to know whom I'm in love with,179602:06:20.199 --> 02:06:24.720
and I love you, Laura Lee hardy. Laura Lee smiled179702:06:25.319 --> 02:06:27.680
more than anything. I want to take you somewhere and179802:06:27.720 --> 02:06:30.560
make love with you again. But who am I to179902:06:30.560 --> 02:06:35.039
deny your heart's desire. Yes, Melissan, I'll dance with you.180002:06:35.720 --> 02:06:39.880
Let's go. The Unholy Couple, as they would soon come180102:06:39.920 --> 02:06:43.199
to be called, went to the gymnasium and entered. Other180202:06:43.279 --> 02:06:46.479
couples saw them and either gasped or screamed in terror180302:06:46.640 --> 02:06:50.520
when they saw the blood on them, especially on Laura Lee.180402:06:50.720 --> 02:06:53.479
When the slow song began to play, the girls went180502:06:53.520 --> 02:06:56.319
to the center of the dance floor and began their180602:06:56.439 --> 02:07:01.000
unholy waltz. Only a few select students decided to leave180702:07:01.039 --> 02:07:05.279
the dance. At one point, Malissan saw Reyese Claiborne glaring180802:07:05.319 --> 02:07:09.439
at her. Melissan no longer cared what Reese thought of her. Now,180902:07:10.119 --> 02:07:12.479
in the back of her mind, she dared Ali Prince181002:07:12.560 --> 02:07:15.640
to come for her again, knowing that Laura Lee would181102:07:15.680 --> 02:07:20.199
most certainly kill her. The song ended, Laura Lee and181202:07:20.239 --> 02:07:24.479
Melissan were ready to leave. It was then when that181302:07:24.560 --> 02:07:29.399
magical moment had finally come. Come on, honey, you know181402:07:29.479 --> 02:07:32.439
you want to find out who won, Laura Lee said.181502:07:32.960 --> 02:07:38.279
Malissan nodded a little. We're already here. The faculty member181602:07:38.279 --> 02:07:40.800
who was on the stage gave a formal speech about181702:07:40.800 --> 02:07:44.439
the homecoming Queen, though he was rather surprised that Reese181802:07:44.479 --> 02:07:47.960
and Malissan were the only two nominated girls there and181902:07:48.000 --> 02:07:52.640
that the other nominees were quite dead. The envelope in182002:07:52.680 --> 02:07:57.880
his hand was finally opened and the name read.182102:07:58.560 --> 02:08:02.479
You're not safe yet Weekly Spooky will be right back.182202:08:09.439 --> 02:08:13.520
Melissan gasped for a long moment. Everything was silent all182302:08:13.560 --> 02:08:16.680
around her. Laura Lee had to shake her a little182402:08:16.680 --> 02:08:21.359
to bring her back to reality. You won, Melissan looked182502:08:21.359 --> 02:08:26.760
to Laura Lee in disbelief. I I yes, you one.182602:08:27.479 --> 02:08:30.880
Laura Lee nodded to the stage. Let's go. I'll escort182702:08:30.880 --> 02:08:32.800
you up on stage so you can claim your crown.182802:08:33.439 --> 02:08:37.760
Your Highness Laura Lee took Malissan's hand and walked her182902:08:37.840 --> 02:08:40.199
up to the stage. On the way, the girl saw183002:08:40.239 --> 02:08:45.079
the bewildered look on Reese Claiborne's face. Reese couldn't possibly183102:08:45.159 --> 02:08:48.600
understand how she could have failed. Even with changing the183202:08:48.680 --> 02:08:53.039
votes in her favor, she still had one final trump183302:08:53.079 --> 02:08:56.880
card to play to gain the crown. She roared and183402:08:57.000 --> 02:09:00.159
rushed up on the stage. She brushed past Laura Lee183502:09:00.159 --> 02:09:02.359
and snatched the crown as it was about to be183602:09:02.399 --> 02:09:06.520
placed on Melissan's head. As Reese turned to leave, she183702:09:06.640 --> 02:09:11.039
was greeted by a most peculiar surprise. Ali Prinz was183802:09:11.079 --> 02:09:17.119
standing right there, holding hands with Arnie Razor Rathman. Ali183902:09:17.279 --> 02:09:21.840
picked up the microphone and addressed the crowd. I just184002:09:21.880 --> 02:09:26.119
want to announce that Reyese Clairborne cheated. My new boyfriend,184102:09:26.199 --> 02:09:28.960
Razor and me saw her break into the guidance office184202:09:29.039 --> 02:09:32.920
and changed the vote. Ali snatched the crown from Reese184302:09:32.960 --> 02:09:35.720
and took it to Melissan. Looking down at her, she184402:09:35.840 --> 02:09:39.920
said into the microphone, you won the crown, Melissan, You're184502:09:40.000 --> 02:09:44.840
the new homecoming Queen. Ali carefully placed the crown on184602:09:44.960 --> 02:09:49.359
Melissan's head. Laura Lee looked into her girlfriend's face and184702:09:49.479 --> 02:09:53.840
saw her bright smile. Melissan saw Reese pointing right at184802:09:53.880 --> 02:09:58.359
Ali and read her lips. Reese was calling Ali everything184902:09:58.439 --> 02:10:02.720
but a child of God her betrayal. Ali simply grabbed185002:10:02.720 --> 02:10:05.520
Reese with her free hand and headbutted her right in185102:10:05.560 --> 02:10:08.520
the face to give her a hell of a bloody nose.185202:10:09.439 --> 02:10:12.199
Cheers erupted from the crowd as Reese held her nose,185302:10:12.239 --> 02:10:16.800
blood dripping through her fingers and down her dress. Malissan185402:10:16.880 --> 02:10:20.079
saw Ali smile at Razor as he caressed the side185502:10:20.119 --> 02:10:23.640
of her face. She was glad Razor had finally found185602:10:23.680 --> 02:10:27.720
his someone special in Ali. It was even more evident185702:10:28.079 --> 02:10:31.159
when they wrapped their arms around each other and kissed.185802:10:32.079 --> 02:10:35.560
When they finished, Razor kissed her again. Then he raised185902:10:35.560 --> 02:10:39.279
his finger to Ali. She smiled and let him go186002:10:39.479 --> 02:10:43.239
for a moment. When Razor reached Laura Lea and Melissan,186102:10:43.760 --> 02:10:47.359
he wondered why the two of them had read on them. Hey, listen,186202:10:47.840 --> 02:10:49.439
I just want to tell you both that if you186302:10:49.520 --> 02:10:52.159
two want to go on being a couple, then you186402:10:52.279 --> 02:10:55.239
don't have to worry about me no more. He raised186502:10:55.239 --> 02:10:57.399
his hands in front of him. I know what I186602:10:57.479 --> 02:10:59.640
told you before, Malissan, and I guess I still do186702:10:59.760 --> 02:11:03.600
have for you. He glanced over his shoulder. You know,186802:11:03.680 --> 02:11:06.239
Ali and I have been fighting for years. Who'd have186902:11:06.239 --> 02:11:09.359
thought there was really something there with her and me?187002:11:09.359 --> 02:11:13.399
Melissan didn't seem upset. If anybody can keep her honest,187102:11:13.479 --> 02:11:18.439
you can't. It's okay, Razor, Really I'm not mad. Razor187202:11:18.520 --> 02:11:22.319
still wondered why Laura Lee was dripping Crimson just the same.187302:11:22.920 --> 02:11:29.399
He asked her, Hey, listen, we cool. Laura Lee knew187402:11:29.399 --> 02:11:32.239
deep down she still wanted to hate him, but she187502:11:32.359 --> 02:11:36.399
respected the man way too much to kill him. Now, Yeah, Razor,187602:11:36.479 --> 02:11:39.920
we're cool. You know what, why don't you leave here187702:11:40.000 --> 02:11:44.119
and take Ali somewhere decent? Razor nodded. Sounds like a187802:11:44.159 --> 02:11:47.439
good idea, Thanks, Laura Lee. I guess we'll see you187902:11:47.439 --> 02:11:50.880
both at school on Monday. After the new couple left188002:11:50.880 --> 02:11:53.800
the gym, Malissan and Laura Lee looked to see Reese188102:11:53.920 --> 02:11:57.880
leaving the gym as well. I want that, bitch, Laura188202:11:57.960 --> 02:12:03.199
Lee told her, for you. Melissan smiled, I really don't188302:12:03.239 --> 02:12:08.359
deserve you, but she stopped her. Honey, she ain't worth it.188402:12:08.800 --> 02:12:13.119
In fact, I think I got a better idea. Then188502:12:13.199 --> 02:12:15.800
she motioned for Laura Lee to lower herself a little188602:12:16.039 --> 02:12:19.439
so she could whisper in her ear. Laura Lee listened.188702:12:19.960 --> 02:12:22.840
When Melissan was finished, Laura Lee faced her and nodded.188802:12:23.560 --> 02:12:26.119
Before the girls could walk off the stage, they were188902:12:26.119 --> 02:12:30.239
greeted by a wave of booze. Actually they were directed189002:12:30.279 --> 02:12:34.239
more at Melissan. You won already, Get off the stage.189102:12:34.960 --> 02:12:38.039
You don't even deserve it. You only won because there189202:12:38.039 --> 02:12:42.039
were only two of you. Skank, Go back to hell189302:12:42.119 --> 02:12:46.439
where you belong. Malissan was the angriest she had ever been.189402:12:46.800 --> 02:12:48.920
As the girls made their way down the floor and189502:12:49.000 --> 02:12:51.439
walked out of the gym. As the music began again,189602:12:52.319 --> 02:12:55.920
Malissan's anger turned to excitement in being able to witness189702:12:56.000 --> 02:12:59.520
Laura Lee's hunt. In fact, it hadn't taken Laura Lee189802:12:59.560 --> 02:13:02.359
long to find Reese in the closest restroom to the gym.189902:13:03.159 --> 02:13:06.439
When Reese saw the blood spattered Melissan and the blood190002:13:06.479 --> 02:13:11.239
soaked Laura Lee coming in, she got scared. Oh God,190102:13:11.279 --> 02:13:15.000
get the fuck away from me. Can't do that, Laura190202:13:15.079 --> 02:13:18.199
Lee told her, I promised you to my queen here.190302:13:18.760 --> 02:13:20.720
All you ever did was shit on her time and190402:13:20.760 --> 02:13:25.439
time again. Well that stops right here, and now, she paused.190502:13:26.399 --> 02:13:30.920
Now Reese, if you do what we say. We're promising190602:13:30.960 --> 02:13:33.840
you right here and now you don't have to die190702:13:33.880 --> 02:13:38.319
here tonight. Reese listened and was quick to agree to190802:13:38.359 --> 02:13:41.359
their terms. The three girls left the restroom and went190902:13:41.439 --> 02:13:44.720
back to the gym. Laura Lee nudged Ese's arm for191002:13:44.760 --> 02:13:47.680
her to go up on stage. The three girls went up.191102:13:48.640 --> 02:13:52.000
Malissan picked up the microphone and spoke some strange words191202:13:52.039 --> 02:13:57.600
into it. Suddenly the music stopped. Everybody turned to look191302:13:57.640 --> 02:14:00.520
at her. Now when the waves of booze, the negative191402:14:00.560 --> 02:14:03.479
comments came at melissand again she was ready for them.191502:14:03.479 --> 02:14:06.680
This time she was about to show them just how191602:14:06.760 --> 02:14:10.319
far she had indeed come. Along with her black magic,191702:14:11.479 --> 02:14:15.560
Melispond spoke some more of those strange words. The crowd191802:14:15.800 --> 02:14:19.279
quickly became quiet when they saw a brief flash of191902:14:19.319 --> 02:14:23.359
eerie red light on the walls and doors. The crowd192002:14:23.680 --> 02:14:28.640
now looked at melissand for an explanation. Seriously, fuck all192102:14:28.720 --> 02:14:32.560
of you, melissand yelled for years, you've all been giving192202:14:32.560 --> 02:14:36.159
me a hard time. She turned and suddenly pointed to Reese,192302:14:37.000 --> 02:14:41.319
especially you. She turned back to the crowd. I never192402:14:41.399 --> 02:14:45.319
did so much as a fucking thing to any of you. Well,192502:14:45.399 --> 02:14:48.399
you know, what The people up in the very front192602:14:48.439 --> 02:14:53.079
saw her smile, an evil smile. You all belong to192702:14:53.239 --> 02:14:57.840
us now. She handed Laura Lee the microphone. Take it away,192802:14:58.359 --> 02:15:06.000
my love smiled just as evil as Malissan. Congratulations, motherfuckers,192902:15:06.399 --> 02:15:08.520
you all get to be part of a homecoming dance193002:15:08.560 --> 02:15:11.800
people are going to be talking about for years, just193102:15:11.920 --> 02:15:15.359
like my prom last spring at Strickfield High. Then she193202:15:15.479 --> 02:15:19.039
pointed right at Reese and you just stay right up here.193302:15:19.720 --> 02:15:22.840
You get the best seat in the house. Laura Lee193402:15:22.880 --> 02:15:28.199
turned to Malissan. My gift to you, my queen. Malissan193502:15:28.279 --> 02:15:32.119
began to cry a little and said into the microphone,193602:15:32.159 --> 02:15:35.800
like I said, I don't deserve you. Laura Lee and193702:15:35.840 --> 02:15:39.520
Malissan's lips glowed the same eerie red as they shared193802:15:39.520 --> 02:15:43.479
an unholy kiss between them. When they finished, Laura Lee193902:15:43.560 --> 02:15:47.319
raised her knife and sprang into the crowd. From there,194002:15:47.439 --> 02:15:51.359
Laura Le killed many students and teachers alike. As the194102:15:51.399 --> 02:15:56.079
crowd tried to escape, they found every door would not open. Also,194202:15:56.239 --> 02:15:58.640
there were no windows for them to break to escape.194302:15:59.079 --> 02:16:01.000
It would only be a man matter of time before194402:16:01.079 --> 02:16:03.520
Laura Lee Hardy would catch up with all of them,194502:16:03.720 --> 02:16:08.640
thus creating a new event. In fact, only one student194602:16:08.680 --> 02:16:12.760
would survive the event and would call it the Homecoming194702:16:12.840 --> 02:16:18.600
from Hell. That student was Reyese Clairborne. Laura Lee and194802:16:18.680 --> 02:16:22.319
Melissand had indeed kept their word. Reese had done her194902:16:22.359 --> 02:16:25.680
part by being the sole survivor to tell the tale195002:16:26.199 --> 02:16:30.439
of Laura Lee Hardy and her queen, Malissan La Paula,195102:16:31.319 --> 02:16:35.520
the Unholy Couple. Laura Lee had an even higher body195202:16:35.559 --> 02:16:38.879
count than her prom from Hell back in Strickfield before195302:16:38.920 --> 02:16:43.399
she finally returned to Malissand even bloodier than before, and195402:16:43.639 --> 02:16:46.520
escorted her queen out of Shore City East High School,195502:16:47.239 --> 02:16:53.000
never to return again. Principal Theodore Gastor couldn't believe what195602:16:53.079 --> 02:16:56.239
he had heard about the homecoming dance. He had assigned195702:16:56.280 --> 02:16:59.239
other members of the faculty to conduct the event, not195802:16:59.319 --> 02:17:03.319
wanting to be there himself. In fact, he congratulated himself195902:17:03.399 --> 02:17:06.520
on both not being at the dance and being right196002:17:06.600 --> 02:17:11.079
about Melissan La Pala all along. However, his reputation would196102:17:11.079 --> 02:17:14.239
be even further tarnished when the school board told him196202:17:14.520 --> 02:17:16.799
that he would continue to be the principal of Shore196302:17:16.840 --> 02:17:20.920
City East High School once it had reopened. People who196402:17:21.000 --> 02:17:24.159
knew or recognized him kept taunting him about being the196502:17:24.200 --> 02:17:26.959
principal of the school where the home Coming from Hell196602:17:27.040 --> 02:17:31.799
took place, or that the Unholy Couple were his former students.196702:17:32.360 --> 02:17:34.559
As with the prom from Hell and the prom Night196802:17:34.639 --> 02:17:37.760
of the Dead from Strickfield High, the home Coming from196902:17:37.799 --> 02:17:41.239
Hell from Shore City East High would also become a197002:17:41.319 --> 02:17:44.399
new Ohio legend that would both be added to the197102:17:44.440 --> 02:17:49.159
Strickfield University's website among the other legends already there, and197202:17:49.360 --> 02:17:54.719
another tale to be told on Halloween nights, especially since197302:17:54.799 --> 02:18:00.920
many homecoming nights often take place during October. When it197402:18:00.959 --> 02:18:04.200
came to Reese Claiborne, she left Shore City right after197502:18:04.280 --> 02:18:07.920
graduation and growing fear that the Unholy Couple might go197602:18:08.079 --> 02:18:12.440
back on their word and come for her anyway. As197702:18:12.479 --> 02:18:16.239
for Laura Lee Hardy and Melissan La Paula, they are197802:18:16.239 --> 02:18:27.680
still out and about to this very day. Well, my Spookyes,197902:18:27.760 --> 02:18:31.200
