The Sticky Note

AU: Everyone is 18 years old.

Edd was at his house. He was doing what he always does: cleaning up. He entered his kitchen and noticed a foul smell.

"Dear lord! What is that putrid smell? It smells like..." He stopped in mid-sentence and notice a sticky note on his fridge. It was a game of hangmand and some letters were already filled in. It spelled _-I-_-L-E-R, "What type of person would waste a perfectly good sticky note on a useless game? Is this the doing of mother and father?" He stuffed the note in his pocket and left the kitchen, forgetting about the smell. As he left the kitchen, blood came spilling from his fridge. It started to make a tiny pool on the floor. Edd was too busy tying his shoe laces. Edd walked to his living room and left.

As he walked outside, he was greeted by Eddy, "Where were you Sockhead? Lumpy was home grounded, again. I can't believe that little twer..."

"Eddy, think before you act. We've attempted to free Ed, and ironically we were grounded. I don't want mother and father to..." Eddy slapped Edd across the face. Edd looked at his friend and pushed him. Eddy was shocked that Edd had "assaulted" him. Edd said, "Eddy, I'm sorry..." Eddy looked at him. A tear went down his cheek. Edd tried to say 'Sorry" but Eddy started laughing.

"You fell for it! HAHA! I can't believe it. Let's go save Ed."

...

Eddy and Edd had passed through the two guards (Jimmy and Sarah), and they were in Ed's room. Ed was sitting in the same box, crying.

"Lumpy, we're here to save you." Eddy started Ed turned around and his face was covered n bruises, "Geez, Lumpy. You look like a train hit you."

"Ed!" Edd ran to his friend, "Who did this to you?"

"A car." Ed replied.

"Do you know the license plate?"

"128 Se7en" Edd wrote the number down.

"Why didn't your parents help you?" Edd asked. Ed and Eddy looked confused.

"Hey, Sockhead," Eddy began, "You don't remember? 1998. We all did it." Eddy finished. Edd looked at his friends.

"What happened?"

"Are you missing somethin?"

"WHAT HAPPENED?" Edd was too loud, and Sarah busted through the door. She beat them up before kicking Edd and Eddy out.

"Eddy, what happened?" Edd started, forgetting about his friends.

"You're going through denial."

"Denial of what?"

"You'll remember."

...

As Edd entered his home, he was greeted by the even stronger smell, "What is going on? What's that smell?" Edd made his way to the kitchen. The blood had filled about 2/3 of the floor. Edd walked to the fridge. Slowly, he gripped the door. He opened it. His eyes widened. He backed away. Then, he slipped on the floor. Blood stained his clothes. Edd ran to the home phone. He dialed 9-11. He thought for a second. As soon as the operator answered, he ended the call. Edd ran back to the kitchen.

"Accept it, Eddward." Someone whispered behind him. Edd turned around to see Eddy and Ed standing together.

"What is this?" Edd asked.

"You would eventually find out." Eddy started.

"Who is that?"

"You know." Ed said.

"What's going on? Who are you?"

"Well," Eddy began, "Me and Ed and the rest of the Cul-de-Sac kids aren't real. You were so lonely that you created us (Johnny). Your parents always abused you (Ed). You were greedy and mean, not nice (Sarah and Eddy and the Kankers). No one understood you (Rolf). You wished you were a popular and athletic person (Nazz and Kevin). You were secretly gay (Jimmy). And you are a murdering thug (Eddy's Brother). You killed your parents, who are also ours, and hid for eternity. No one would care about your parents missing since they were always going somewhere. When they disappeared, not a single person noticed, except one."

"Is that them?"

"Nope," Ed smiled, "That is a cop who was close to your dad. All those body parts belonged to him. Pretty sadistic."

Edd realized what was happening. He took out the hangman sticky note. He knew the answer: Killer.
