Chapter 6 – Fear and Lust

Hi I just wanted to say thank you again for your patience for these chapters of my fanfiction, I never expected my first one to be quite popular to those who enjoy hearing stories like this. Anyway this chapter is dedicated to those who a big Scarecrow/ Jonathan Crane fan and his role within the story. So please enjoy this chapter ladies and gentlemen ;) I do not own any of the BTAS characters but I own the OC's.

Deep within the cold hallways of Solitary confinement of Arkham Asylum, Dr Richard O' Neil walks through these walls with his briefcase and clutching onto his new patients file.

This new doctor had recently been transferred from Ireland and like Natalie was ambitious about his patient, deep down ever...he was afraid.

"I should warn you Doctor O' Neil, he hasn't been himself lately he's been far too quiet" stated Dr Lealand as she guided the nervous doctor through the rows of cells with this darkened hallway.

"Well isn't that a good thing" He questions and Lealand stops and turns to him with a raised eyebrow.

"This is Crane we are talking about here...he is never that quiet" she states and turns back to walk. Richard stands there and gulps pulling his collar a little to let some cool air hit his boiling neck.

Then... Lealand stopped at the very end of the hallway and points at the bronze bulky door labelled 'cell 65188'. Richard felt his stomach drop as the door gave a very uncomfortable aura and the smell of blood and fear attacked his nose.

" I should warn you Doctor O' Neil, he can be a very manipulative patient, if anything happens there's a red button attached to the security bracelet the guards placed on you before you came here" she states and opens the door to cell a blast of cool air attacks Richards face and body causing him to shiver.

"Bloody Hell his cell is colder than Mr Freeze's!" He shouts and clutches onto his arms trying to keep warm from the cold air.

"The heating in this cell has been on the brink I'm afraid, don't worry I'll tell the staff to get it fixed right away" She gently smiles and quickly walks off shaking of the sudden fear she too was starting to feel.

Richard was about to say something but it was too late she had disappeared back into the elevator to her cosy office.

"Bitch" he mutters under his breath as he slowly starts to make his way into the tiny freezing cold cell. He jumps as the sound of crow flapping about is heard inside the cell and squawks loudly as he enters.

'God I hate friggen birds' he clutches onto his patients file avoiding eye contact with the crow perched onto the shelf.

The cell was pitch black and only the crows intimidating red eyes light up the room including a few jack o lantern pumpkins that lie on the desk.

" Lovely isn't she" A soft yet creepy voice in the corner says, Dr O Neil screams in horror and backs away to the wall his heart pounding out his chest and his breathing is quick and heavy. Eyes bulging out his sockets in fear as he lays eyes on his patient...Jonathan Crane.

"*Gulp* Good evening Doctor Crane...I'm sorry to i...i.i...interrupt" the poor doctor stutters as he slowly starts to go forward.

Crane sits up on his bed tied in a straight jacket, his auburn hair scattered across his face, his pale skin almost gleaming in the candle light, but what stood out the most were his icy cold emotionless blue eyes which looked straight into the doctor's soul.

"You doctors should learn how to knock..." He says in an intimidating tone giving O'Neil a bad shiver down his spine.

O'Neil makes it to the edge of Cranes bed and makes himself comfy trying not to look at him too much.

"I'm Doctor Richard O'Neil, I'll be your new doctor while your old doctor is recovering" he manages to say without stuttering and still avoids making eye contact with his chosen patient.

"Ah yes Doctor Murphy, whatever happened to him" He questions but he knew exactly what had happened to his former doctor.

"You left him scarred for life in your last session!" Richard says in annoyed tone "How the hell can you forget something like that!" this time he looks at his patient straight in the eyes showing no more signs of fear in his body.

Crane looks at his new doctor with a cold glare, no one in their right mind would back answer to him of all people, but instead of shouting back he just grinned.

"He deserved it..." O'Neil's face dropped into disgust and horror, no human being deserves that kind of tortured of which Crane inflicted on Doctor Murphy.

"You left him mentally scarred with your fear toxin plus you gouged his left eye out with a pen, that's something The Joker would have done!" He continues to fight back his argument.

Again Crane just grinned...

"At least I didn't do it as messy as the Joker" He states

" I know because you ate his eyeball after you pulled it out!" just saying it made poor Richard want to rush out of this maniac's cell and vomit in the bathroom or possibly a bucket.

"I didn't eat it...Scarecrow did" another twisted comment came from the ex psychiatrist's lips.

Richard was on the edge of losing his temper even more with his patient but he had to maintain a calm manner in case he would lose his job on the first or worse...he would become just like Crane.

"Fine...Scarecrow did all that...and where were you Crane when your alter ego was violating Mr Murphy" He asks with getting back together from his sudden outburst.

Crane stopped grinning and his face dropped along with his head what he was going to say would change everything.

"I was lost..." he plainly said

"Lost?" questioned Richard and he begins to write down everything Crane had told him "what do you mean lost?" he asks again

Crane stayed silent for a few minutes until he raised his head back up to look at Doctor O'Neil

"I was lost in the breasts of a woman" at that point Doctor O Neil shot his head up blushing heavily.

"I beg your pardon Dr Crane!" He asks in a quick and slightly shocked tone of voice.

"I said...Doctor O'Neil...that I was lost in the breasts of a woman" he repeated with a slightly more serious tone. At that point O' Neil was unsure if he should be disgusted in Crane's response or curious in the end...curiosity killed the cat.

"What do you mean Jonathan, I don't quite understand" he states tapping his pen on his chin waiting for his patient to respond.

"What I mean Doctor O'Neil...is that while Scarecrow was torturing Doctor Murphy...I was lost in some kind of strange fantasy involving Jervis's new doctor...Doctor Natalie Tithling...there she was doctor, tempting me with those burning brown eyes which scorched my soul... and which made my skin crawl with strong desires of lust...eventually throughout this strange part of my imagination...I gave into temptation and let my body and lust filled mind play with her..."

Doctor O' Neil sat there with widen eyes... he knew what was going on, Crane was starting to develop feelings for Natalie, at that point he didn't know who to feel sorry for Natalie...or Crane.

"Tell me...what do you want Crane...if you were to have Natalie as your own" he asked the question with great risk.

"What...I would want?" He looks at his doctor with confusion, no one had asked what he alone wanted it was always about Scarecrow and what he always wanted out of life...but never Crane.

"Yes what you do if Natalie and you were in some sort of relationship, would you change for her? Would possibly settle down from a life of crime...a family perhaps?" in O'Neil's mind this was a jackpot if he could get all these answers for all these questions it would possibly earn him a quick promotion.

"...Yes...Yes I would...I would give that all up for her...I would...love her and care for her...and I can picture...a life with her...snuggling up to horror movies on a Saturday night..Maybe watch the Shining...I would hold her in case she got scared...stroke her hair...kiss her cheek...then after that...possibly...we would make love" He softly says picturing the entire event within his mind.

O'Neil couldn't help but smile at Crane's beautiful painted image of a happy life with this woman it almost looked like the perfect life any person would want.

" And what about Scarecrow...what would he want if he had Natalie" at that point Jonathan stopped daydreaming and snapped back to reality...his face got paler and his eyes got cloudy again.

"Do you really want to know Doctor..." he was back to his menacing voice again and that frightening grin was back from the grave.

"Ah...I'm guessing your back Scarecrow" O'Neil questioned as he started to shiver again clutching onto his pen.

Scarecrow just nodded and started to get closer to Doctor O Neil, his eyes almost clouded with emptiness and insanity.

" I'll tell you what I would want to do with dear little Natalie" he get's right in front of Richard who was starting to get really scared just by looking right in the eyes of this fear obsessed maniac.

"I WOULD RAM MYSELF INSIDE HER AND MAKE HER SCREAM TILL THE COW'S COME HOME!" he screamed and laughs like a maniac flopping onto the bed cackling loudly at that point O'Neil rushes out the cell and closes the door so he doesn't have to hear anymore from that disgusting minded psychopath.

Richard takes deep breaths walking quickly back to the elevator and rests his back on the wall as it goes up.

In his mind he could still hear Scarecrow laughing away in his cell but he could also hear the cries of help coming from Jonathan inside the dark corners of Scarecrow's mind.

'I need to help Crane...he's practically trapped inside his body...but what can I do' He thought to himself eventually an idea popped into his head.

When he was out of Solitary confinement he made his way into the Staff Office and searched through the files, he then finds out what he's looking... he pulls out a brown file from one of the members of staff.

'Don't worry Crane...Ill set you free...I promise' he smirks as he looks upon the file...of Natalie Tithling.
