Back with another chapter! I've had it ready for a few days but I went on vacation to my favorite place in the world DISNEYLAND! I pretty much wrote this chapter while I was in lines in the park waiting in lines and stuff on my phone because I am so cool like that (not really.) So anyways, here is another chapter with everybody's favorite subject: Murder! As in the act...not a group of crows... so enough of my rambling! Enjoy!
After City realized she didn't have to check in with her parents very often she began to socialize in school, finding that she could make friends other than the other agents. The other girls were great, after a while it was as if she had actual friends who understood her more than any earthling could. She did miss her parents but the agents were over so often she tended to forget she even had them. She felt free as a bird! So much that she decided to throw a party, not only to make more friends but to begin her mission. A mission that would drive her to the near brink of insanity. A mission that would drive her to murder...
It had been three month since the aliens arrived in Denton and the sibling doctors were furious. It had been four weeks since their daughter had seen them last and she hadn't corresponded since. Laura sat on their bed while Cosmo and Nation paced the floor. It was beginning to make their squeaky voiced friend dizzy. Both parents had become irrational with the current situation. They trusted their daughter but knew something was wrong.
"So she is busy, it's high school. It's not easy!" Laura defended her friend, remembering back to her horrible few years of high school before Frank found her.
"She promised she would visit! She hasn't been by in weeks! What if the government found her and took her away? We don't know! That's problem!" Cosmo snapped, he was beginning to lose his temper. He had been patient with his daughter in the past but this was stretching it.
"What is going on with that girl?" Nation said with a sigh.
"Well why don't we go check on her, what's the harm in that? We are done for the day anyways..." Laura began with a smile.
"Brilliant idea! Let's get the station car and get moving!" Cosmo exclaimed, ripping the door open. Within half an hour the three had arrived at the castle. All the lights were on and there were cars parked all around the castle. Loud music could be heard from the gates. The three adults walked into the castle cautiously, instantly meeting hoards of teenagers everywhere.
"What the hell is going on?" Nation and Cosmo gasped in unison. They rushed into the ballroom where the music suddenly felt familiar. Teenagers of every shape and size were dancing the time warp while Candy sat on the throne with her legs swung over the armrest. Three girls that looked her age stood by the throne looking at the other teens before them. Her family was shocked, she reminded them of Frank back when he used to lure unsuspecting earthlings to the castle. They both had that same wild look of cunning in their eyes. It nearly frightened them to see it.
"I do love a good party!" Bridgette smiled, her voice was proper but you could tell how excited she was to be letting loose.
"Me too! Good idea having this party to get the kids to like us!" Danielle mused from behind the throne. She leaned on it eagerly, grasping the sides like an animal.
"Even better that you said this place is abandoned and possibly haunted! It will make it much easier to keep people away!" Erin added, twirling a lock of Candy's hair absentmindedly.
"Glad I thought of it. The Major's babysitter will be easy pickings after this whole thing." She lazily pointed to a dirty blonde haired girl that was dancing with some of her friends. "Now all we have to do is wa- oh crap!" Candy noticed her fuming parents and their concerned friend in the doorway.
"What?" Erin asked looking around, eventually noticing Candy's family. Her eyes grew wide as she shot looks to the other girls, who gulped fearing they had been caught. They may have been highly trained agents but it didn't mean that they still weren't teenagers who knew when they were caught.
"You go talk to them, we will stay here and keep an eye on the target." Danielle nodded. A few seconds later, Candy had danced her way across the floor to her family.
"What is going on in here!" Cosmo began to shout but Candy covered his mouth, taking him by surprise.
"Shhh! Come with me." Candy took her family up the lift to the lab. Once they were certain nobody was there she spoke. "You all can't be here right now." She said, entirely serious.
"Why the hell not? You haven't so much as called in weeks!" Nation shouted back.
"Can you keep it down? Somebody might hear you!" Candy said, putting a finger to her mouth.
"Fine. What's going on?" Cosmo put a hand on his sister's shoulder.
"I'm making the kill tonight. My friends and I are. We can't if you are here to crash the party! We were going to tire the babysitter out then knock her out before we kill her. It will be easier if she is too tired to fight back. As for not visiting, I have been busy! Between schoolwork and making friends and taking care of my puppies, not to mention keeping this whole castle in shape! It's hard!" Cosmo and Nation shot each other a look, unsure how to continue. Laura stepped forward.
"Okay, so first of all: I knew it!" Laura pointed to the siblings. They both rolled their eyes "Second, who are these friends of yours? Third, since when did we have puppies? And fourth, can I see them?" Laura asked excitedly. Nation hit her on the shoulder in frustration.
"Laura!" Nation snapped. "Talk, what's going on?"
"Okay...the three girls with me are agents that had been called in by the queen. They have been helping me out and are my friends so leave them alone!" Candy snapped back. "I found the puppies when I first arrived here." She whistled and the four black and white puppies ran out of what used to be Columbia and Magenta's room through a hole in the wall. They all sat in a row, noses up at attention like little furry soldiers. "Mom, Dad and Laura. These are my guard dogs and friends. This is Stick, Turtle, Flower and Bear." She pointed to each dog and they barked as their names were called. The adults were impressed; they hadn't realized how capable she was. Cosmo smiled to himself realizing that the Queen had received the message he had sent her the day after Candy had left. " I named them after the first things I saw when I came to school, but the bear was in my biology textbook."
"Well, I see." Nation nodded, she really couldn't object anymore. Her daughter was growing up. She was defeated. To the shock of everybody, she continued. "I suppose that we can't really get in the way until we are needed. Please, just don't hurt yourself. Remember we are always here for you if you need it." She was so proud of her daughter's capability but would always worry. From the day Frank had nearly killed City, her family had always tried to keep a close eye on her. They didn't want to risk losing her. Cosmo and Laura saw that look in Nation's eyes and knew, it was time to get going.
"Let's get back to the station, I bet they are wondering where we are." Laura said calmly, leading the two parents out through the hole in the wall, winking to Candy before she left. Candy breathed a sigh of relief after her family had gone. She looked at the dogs and smiled at them. They all wagged their tails in return with their tongues hanging out through their grins.
"Okay pups...open the freezer and pull out the pickaxe. I have work to do." She said as she calmly went back down the lift to find the vast majority of the guests gone. The other agents were talking to the target in an attempt to keep her from leaving. She took slow breaths, it was time to end an innocent life. Candy would do her best to make her planet proud, this was just the first step, the first step to becoming a legend.
"Come with us! We all know how much you love animals, Candy has four puppies that love people!" Danielle grinned at the target.
"Well...I guess so! Just for a few minutes, I have to babysit tomorrow night!" The target smiled back.
"Oh! Just in time! Candy!" Erin smiled at the redhead coming down the lift, shooting her a knowing look at her when nobody was looking. "Want to take us to see the puppies?"
"Oh yeah! Sure, come on!" Candy smiled as the opened the lift gate watching the other girls enter in, the target entered last. She turned to face the door as it closed. This was it.
Slowly, the lift began to rise up from floor to floor. The four accomplices shared a look and nodded. Bridgette pulled a cloth that had she had been wearing on her wrist off and quickly wrapped it around the target's neck. She tried to fight back but the twins held her with a tight Transsexual grip. By the time the lift had reached the lab the target had passed out.
The dogs were waiting in the lab for their master; Bear had a pickaxe in his mouth. Flower sat next to the unlock button for the freezer. Turtle and Stick held each end of a surgeon's frock. The twins brought the victim's body to the freezer and closed it while Bridgette set the temperature of the freezer to as low as it could go, flash freezing the body. Candy put on the frock and took the pickaxe in her hand, she took a deep breath having realized that she was about to kill an innocent girl but it had to be done. Candy walked up to the freezer and entered, letting the girls close it behind her.
Fifteen minutes later there was a knock on the freezer door, Erin let Candy out while the other girls had prepared a warm bath for her. She rushed to it, ripping her clothes off as quickly as she could and nearly jumping in the tub to warm herself. The girls examined the frozen blood on Candy's clothes, their eyes growing wide. It finally set in that they had helped her kill somebody. Somebody who hadn't done anything but get in their way. After a few moments she opened her eyes and took a breath.
"The target is dead. Go outside and get rid of the body. Burn it, bury it, eat it for all I care, my mother says human is very fatty though but my point is: Make sure nobody finds it. Ever." Candy ordered, pointing to the door. The girls obeyed and by the next school day the whole school was abuzz with the news that Maxine Marcus had "run away" after a note was found in 'her' room stating how she wanted to get away from Denton and everything about it.
English went as planned, very educational and all that. As Candy was leaving, she saw Mrs. Majors put her head in her hands, slumping over her desk. It was Candy's time to act.
"Is everything all right Mrs. Majors?" Candy asked sympathetically. "You seem down."
"Oh, it's nothing. It's just, Maxine was my babysitter and my husband and I were going to go on a date tonight. Now we can't." The teacher frowned.
"Well you know, I used to babysit all the time when I lived in England. If you would like, I could do it. Free of charge, you deserve it!" Candy smiled sweetly.
"You mean that? Thank you! Here is my address," She scrambled to write it down on a paper. "See you around seven?"
"Certainly! I'll see you then!" Candy smiled as she turned to leave, her grin becoming one of a much darker nature once she reached the halls.
Well there you have it, City just killed a girl...I blame the fact that I am recently obsessed with the show Dexter XD. Thanks for reading! R&R please! I so love reading reviews, I really don't smile half as big as I do any other time than when I'm reading reviews from you guys so don't forget to!
