Disclaimer:
I own nothing of The O.C. sadly, but I would love to. Also, this story has
no real connection to any of the episodes. It is connected purely by the
characters. Now let's get to the slashy-slashy!
Chapter 1: Blonde Hair In Blood
"Night daddy"
"Have a good sleep"
The girl walked out of her room and into the bathroom. She slipped out of
her gown and turned the shower on, quickly steaming the room up. She waited
for it to be hot enough to jump in, and picked up a hairbrush, then started
singing to herself in the mirror. But before she could finish, the mirror
filled with steam, and she put the brush down. She hopped into the shower
and let the droplets hit her body. As the water crashed down, she pulled
her hair back and washed her body. She closed her eyes as the glass door
became less and less see-through, and she turned around to cleanse her
back.
Eventually, she finished. She turned the dial round, and stepped out of the
shower. She slipped on the marble floor, but grabbed the sink in safety.
After drying her feet on a dropped towel, she rubbed her hair and body with
another from the side, and then proceeded to put it around her torso. She
then stepped out of the bathroom, and closed the door.
"Daddy, I'm just going downstairs to get a drink before I go to sleep, OK?"
No reply. He must've dozed off already. She thought this, and flicked her
head back before stepping down the stairs. She clenched onto the banister,
and then made it to the darkness of the ground floor. The moonlight shined
through the front door and glimmered on the shiny floor. She walked through
casually to the kitchen and grabbed a glass from the side, and then walkd
over to the sink. But she noticed something. The door to the patio was
ajar, and the rug was messed up against the wall. She slowly made her way
to the door, her heart beating faster and faster until she finally got
there. She opened it fully, and took a look around the outside. After
seeing nothing but a cat jump over the fence, she closed the door, locked
it and then set the mat properly. Then she walked back to the sink and
filled her glass. After getting her drink, she took one last look in the
black kitchen, and then closed the door behind her.
"Hey dad, did you know the back door was open?"
She walked up the stairs on her toes, and was aware of everything that was
happening.
"Dad? Are you asleep?"
She started up the stairs quicker, until she eventually got to the top. She
walked over to her dad's room and opened the door
"Dad serious..."
And then she screamed. The glass feel from her hand and smashed on the
floor, and her face scrunched up. Tears fell from her eyes, while she
stared on at her parent. She walked over to him, tip-toeing around the
room, trying to avoid the mess that had been made. And then she reached
him, laying unconsciously on the bed. His neck had been severly hacked
into, and his chest had been slit several times. She started to back away
from him, with the water still running from her eyes. But it was too late.
She stepped back against someone, and she yelled as he raised the blade.
"So..."
Seth walked into the poolhouse to a half-asleep Ryan, and threw a shirt at
him.
"C'mon dude, we're getting up or what?"
"What?"
"Aren't we going out with the girls?"
"When?"
"You said last night that we were going to meet them in the town, and just
have some fun. After all, with the stuff this place goes through, we hardly
ever have fun!"
"How?"
"Stop asking me questions and get the hell up!"
Seth grabbed a pair of socks and threw them at Ryan's face, and eventually,
Ryan sat up and slipped the shirt on. He lent over the side of the bed and
rummaged around for some trousers, and after finding some, put them on. He
looked up to find Seth walking out to the kitchen, and then slumped back
onto the bed and closed his eyes.
"Coop!"
Marissa walked out of the closet and smirked at Summer, who was standing in
a stunning outfit, made up of a baby blue, low-cut shirt, some tight jeans
and high heels.
"Have you picked one yet? We have to go soon!"
"Just a min..."
Marissa walked back in, and Summer sat down on her bed. The bed was pretty
scruffy, and Summer noticed a pair of pants in the corner of the room.
"You and Ryan haven't... you know... lately?"
"Why?"
"Ewww!"
She jumped off the bed and started wiping her body quickly. Just then,
Marissa walked out wearing a short black skirt, a skimpy, navy shirt and
her dark denim purse. Summer finally smiled, and went to get Marissa.
"Wait, I need to get some shoes!"
"Oh my God! Even I don't take this long, Coop!"
"Just a minute, I know what I want."
Marissa dug deep into a drawer by her bed, and managed to pull out some
nice open shoes to match her shirt. Summer let out a sigh of relief, safe
in the fact that she knew Marissa was done. She wiped her forehead and sat
down in a chair in the corner of the room.
"You sure you wanna sit there?"
"Why? Is it dirty or something?"
Summer stared at her friend, finally seeing what she meant, and jumped out
of it. Marissa laughed at her friend's mental pain, and then got up, ready
to go.
"OK, so let's go and get the guys!"
"Ryan get the hell up! I told you like a half hour ago!"
"Alright, alright! Just give me a minute."
"No, no way. If I leave, then you'll just fall back into your little dream
land and quite frankly, I'm not in the mood for it. So get dressed, get
ready and..."
The doorbell rang, and Seth stood up straight. Ryan finally got out of bed,
and slipped on some socks.
"Holy sh..."
"Be cool, OK? I'll be practically like 30 seconds in the bathroom. You go
get them, bring them in here and tell them to wait."
"30 seconds? Dude, I take longer to take a pee!"
"Just go."
Seth managed to drag himself out of the chair and walk into the kitchen. He
tripped a little, but pulled himself up, and then made it to the front
door.
"Ladies..."
"Cohen..."
"Seth..."
He flung his arm, indicating for them to come in, and was passed by Summer
and Marissa. Summer waited for Seth, then hugged him. Marissa, however,
went straight for the poolhouse.
"Ryan?"
"I'm in the bathroom! I'll be out in a sec"
"30 to be precise."
Seth's witty remark filled the air with tension and boredom while they
waited for the fourth man. The three ready people sat on the sofa in the
poolhouse, and waited quietly for Ryan. Summer rummaged through her purse,
looking for something, Seth fiddled with his fingers, and Marissa stared
dead at the bathroom door.
"Marissa?"
"Yeah?"
"Should I be sitting on this couch?"
Summer leaned over and waited for a reply from her friend. Marrisa bent
forward, and just giggled at Summer, who just stood up again. She walked
toward the bed, but realized that it was a bad idea.
"I can't take this anymore! I'm turning on the TV," she said as she reached
for the remote.
"Fine by me," replied Marissa
"Put it on Nick!"
Summer just looked ironically at Seth, who shrugged.
"Or... you know? You could not?"
"What's on the news?"
Summer scanned for the right button, and pressed it while Ryan walked out
in a smart, long-sleeved black shirt and black trousers. He walked over to
Marissa and kissed her passionatly, while Seth got up so he could see the
TV.
"Hey you guys, look at this!"
Marrisa finally pulled her lips away from Ryan's and the two got up and
walked over to the television.
"Police are baffled by this gruesome and disturbing crime. The bodies of
Holly Fischer and her father Adam Fischer were found in their house after
neighbours heard a scream for the girl. Both of the victims were brutally
attacked with a bladed object, and were left in the house to be found.
Police have found no evidence on who made these attacks, but are still
investigating the murders."
