( Author's Note )

VAVAV

Well what can I say about Broken Reality? This was a fiction that was meant to be a one-shot. It was meant to be twisted, and violent, and was meant to make you think, 'That could be me.', 'That could be a person I know.', 'Does how I treat someone now, help dictate what happens in their future?', 'Could I have prevented something like this?' And in truth, yes it could have been you, or a friend. Words you say today, can make a big impact on tomorrow.

But back to the fiction. I will say this. Before this fiction is over. You will cry. You will hate me so much. Then you'll forgive me. Just remember as you read this chapter, and look forward to chapters to come, every cloud has a silver lining. And try not to let this chapter make you hate me.

She put down the newspaper and looked around her room. It was large and spacious... or would have been if there weren't cages against one wall. She put the paper down. She paced her room after reading the newspaper's headline for the sixth time. 'Insane teen guns down other teen'. She couldn't believe Veronica lost her composure like that. Over one little pet. She should have just let the pet go. No pet was worth that much trouble. Not even one that was as good as Timothy had been. Okay, so the boy had been compliant. Had been. Before Veronica had let go of the reigns. And he was kind of cute. However being cute was pointless when they didn't listen.

"Oh V, you should have just let him go." Mollie said to the picture of Veronica that was also on the front page of the paper. "Now I have to clean up your mess. I can't let anyone find out about me, and they will... if they talk to Timmy."

Of course Veronica had been released from jail a few days ago, which she'd ignored Veronica's calls. She couldn't let herself be drug down with her socially. Veronica's father's money will keep her out of jail. But still, socially... that girl will be dead. How could she possibly lose her cool like that?

She walked past one of the cages in her room looking into it. A dark haired nude female laid sleeping at the bottom of the cage. Collar around her neck which was chained to the back wall. So what she was doing was technically illegal, by modern laws. Laws that had only governed the country for the past couple hundred years. People were animals... and animals were meant to be caged. She couldn't, no, she wouldn't let her life be interrupted by nonsensical laws. Then walked to her dresser, looking at two items on it.

She had to use one of them. Either of them could, and would solve her problems. Her hand stroked the first item. A iron collar attached to a chain. She could chain Timmy and make him hers. She knew how to handle free spirited pets. But he could have been on his own too long, and if he had been gone too long... her hand caressed the other item. A simple black handgun, if it had been too long... well she could fix that too.

Timmy had been doing great as far as she could see... or at least he had been until they found out Veronica had been released... and not just released, but the charges against him had been dropped. Seems her father's money extended a lot farther than anyone thought. He seemed more scattered than usual. And the nightmares had become much more frequent. Often Timmy would just stay awake, almost for days until he passed out into a dreamless sleep.

That worried her, though not as much as how scattered he was mentally. Sometimes he was Timmy. The Timmy before he ran off. When he was happy and generous. Then there were times when he was nervous, or scared. Then times when he he couldn't even tell who she and Vicki were. Mostly during that time he would cower from her and Vicki. They considered a psychologist could help him. But Timmy refused to see one, said he didn't want to have to explain to yet another person what had happened.

"Hey Toots. Whatcha up to?" Tootie jumped at the sound of her sister's voice.

"What did I scare you?" Vicki grinned knowing she had scared her. It was one of Vicki's favorite pass-times. Though she didn't try scaring Timmy anymore. The last time had turned out fairly bad for the older redhead.

"No... Yes... Just didn't get much sleep." It was true. Timmy had kept her up most of the night, and not the way she wished Timmy had kept her up. She just couldn't bare to push him into becoming intimate with her... she didn't even think that she could talk to him about it. Not with what she knew had happened... it was frustrating in more ways than one.

"Oh? Long nights huh?" Vicki wiggled her eyebrows causing Tootie to scoff.

"No... stop that! It's just he had a bad nightmare last night. They've gotten worse since Veronica had been released." Tootie laid her head down. She started crying softly as Vicki rubbed her back. Watching Timmy toss and turn at night. Hearing him cry and scream. It was all more than her heart could stand to bare. But she couldn't just tune him out. She needed to be with him, needed to help him in anyway she could.

"It'll be alright. Come on Tootie. It'll be alright." Vicki tried... she had been trying. Tootie saw that, and understood that it was hard for her to be touchy feely. And she did appreciate it.

Timmy stretched as he sat up in bed alone. Tootie had returned to school the week before, and he'd begun homeschooling not long after leaving the hospital. Even so, he was able to sleep in in the mornings, but most days he missed Tootie being around. Even missed Vicki. He sighed and tossed his covers off of him. He grabbed a change of clothes, then headed off to shower. Hoping today would would go by faster than usual. He didn't feel quite right.

Once in the bathroom he stripped off his clothing before turning the shower on. He went looked in the mirror, and was shocked. Crosshatched scars ran across his body, his hand came up to touch his chest. His fingertips run over the scars on his chest. Where did they come from... how the hell did they get on his body? Not just his chest... his arms, legs stomach.

He looked around the bathroom, as if the room would give him some kind of answer to the scars on his body. Tell him what had happened to him. He didn't recognize the bathroom, he backed away slowly from the room, from the mirror, until his body hit the door behind him. The whole house to him was strange and foreign to him. The color of the rooms, and carpet... the furniture, rooms. Nothing made sense to him. None of this was right... He closed his eyes.

"What am I doing in the hallway naked?" He wondered to himself as he ran back to the bathroom, glad that Tootie nor Vicki had been home.

He mentally shook himself before stepping into the shower, that had already warmed up. He tried to figure out what had happened as he let the hot water run over his body. He had been in here walking towards the mirror, then he was in the hall way when he opened his eyes again. Strange. It had happened before, though not often at all. But each time it worried him. He sighed and closed his eyes.

Timmy sat up on the couch looking around. His English book lay on the floor next to the couch. He must have fallen asleep while he was studying. He groaned. He knew he shouldn't have laid down to study. He looked over to the clock on the wall. Tootie should be home soon, she was meeting a couple of her female friends at the library to study, and Vicki should be returning shortly before, or after. Depended on the traffic.

After picking his book up, and setting it on the table. He got up and stretched, got up and wandered into the kitchen. He opened the refrigerator. There was chicken that would be for dinner. He looked at the clock again. Four Thirty... He didn't usually cook, not that he couldn't, but he had nothing better to do so he might as well cook dinner. He had cooked before he ran away from home.

"Did you do all this Timmy?" Vicki's voice came from behind him, startling him. He turned around to look at her. She was here early... really early.

"You're home..." The table had been set, and the food was prepared. He turned back towards where he had been about to start cooking. The pots and pans had even been washed. Everything had been cleaned up. "...How."

"You alright?" Vicki asked him just as Tootie was walking in the door.

"Hey guys, something sure smells good!" Tootie called from the living room.

"Y-Yeah. Everything is alright. Dinner is done." He didn't want them to know about these time skips. But still he wondered what happened this time. "Lets eat before it gets cold."

Vicki lounged in the bath after having eaten dinner and helping Timmy wash the dishes and put the leftovers away. She sighed as she relaxed in the water. Timmy had been acting a little strange lately... well stranger than she would expect from him. She had always noticed the slight changes in his mentality. How his personality seemed to shift. Though now he seemed to be aware of it. Or part of him was aware of it. That was good right? Now that he was aware, he'd be able to function in the world better.

She got out of the tub, pulled the plug, dried herself off, she started towards her room, then decided to stop in on Tootie before heading to bed. She was drying off her hair as she opened the door. She moved the towel, and opened her mouth to speak... only words didn't come out. She turned around and closed the door, and walked to her room.

"No... nope... Didn't see that." She said to herself.

She tried to ignore that she had just walked in on Tootie, completely naked. On top an equally naked Timmy. Doing things that... she should be yelling at them both for. Though at the moment, she didn't know what she would say to them as she sat on her bed. How would she even bring it up to Tootie?

"Oh God." Tootie sighed as she laid next to Timmy. She couldn't believe that they'd just done what they had done. Timmy laid on his back panting, as she laid her head on his shoulder. One minute they had been talking. Nothing even sexual in any way. And the next... well... the shredded remains of Timmy's shirt explained what had happened. "Wow. Just... wow."

"That was... great." He seemed shocked. Then again, Timmy's only experience with sex hadn't seemed to be the best. And she doubted that he'd enjoyed it with Veronica.

"So..." She ran her hand over his chest. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah. It was good... actually good." He murmured, his voice sounded a bit slurred near the end.

"Timmy?" She looked up to his face, only to see his eyes closed.

"Mmm?"

"Good night." Tootie kissed his forehead.

Tootie sat in the kitchen after a hot shower, a cold glass of juice in her hand. Her and Timmy had made love, and it was wonderful. Completely wonderful. She shook her head...

"I need to calm down," She told herself as she sipped her juice.

"So... Ah... I kinda..." Vicki's voice had startled her. But she sighed in relief once she realized it was her sister. "I wanted to talk to you earlier. And I..."

"You what?"

"I came into your room, and uh..." Tootie felt her face flush... Vicki had walked in on them... had seen her and Timmy...

"Y-y-you d-didn't see uhm..."

"Yeah... but the only thing I have to say is umm... be careful, and safe." Tootie had never seen her sister blush before. "I'm not going to have 'the talk' with you, because it was fairly obvious you know the mechanics."
