Yes this is odd to post a day after Christmas. I told myself not to post it after last time when it took me 11 hours to post up a new chapter to actually show an update. For all anyone knows, including me, this will post in the new year. I did have a very enjoyable Christmas so let me cleanse my palate with all the goodies I ate today. :) Thanks to everyone who reviewed. Hope you had a great Christmas spending it with family.


Phoebe opened her eyes to find herself on a cold floor in a dark place. Feeling groggy she forced herself to sit up wondering where she was. Remembering that Brainy was the one that knocked her out, she instantly stood up just to regret that decision when her leg gave out a little. She thought about, Helga. Thought about Gerald and Arnold. Mostly she thought about, Helga. Thought of the danger she was in if he caught her. Hearing footsteps she looked around almost wildly for a weapon even as a flashlight poured over her form. Her heart stopped as she readied herself to attack, Brainy this time.

"Phoebe Heyerdahl?" The voice wasn't of Brainy as she tried to peer past the beam of light, but only was blinded. "It is Detective Henderson of Hillwood P.D. Are you hurt?"

Phoebe felt relieve even if it was short lived. "Yes, I'm Phoebe Heyerdahl. No I'm not hurt."

Henderson drew closer to her to make sure she wasn't hurt as the other two officers with him examined the room. "Brainy? Where is he?"

"I don't know. I only just woke up." Panicked she grabbed his arm. "Helga is she alright? Arnold?"

Henderson tried to maintain eye contact with the frightened teenager. "We don't know where, Mr Bartlett is. As for Helga and Arnold I have not a clue."

She almost gave into tears till she found herself standing tall. "We are going to find them and when you do I want to tear Brainy a new one."

His eyebrow went up at the sudden ferocity of this petite young girl who appeared way younger than 17. Opening his mouth to respond he heard a call on his radio that they located, Arnold Shortman knocked out in the hallway. "What about Helga Pataki?"

"Negative sir. We are still trying to locate her." Came the response that neither, Henderson or Phoebe deemed favorable.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I see trees of green,

red roses too.

I see them bloom,

for me and you.

And I think to myself,

what a wonderful world.

Her mouth felt like cotton. Feeling softness melded with some lumpy spots, Helga felt roughness that was wrapped around her wrists and ankles. Fear overtook her again like that of the night she first found her parents. Listening to the music that was playing she'll never think of "What a Wonderful World," the same way again. She refused to open her eyes up hoping she was just having a nightmare, but the smells of her surroundings were shouting at her that this was real.

I see skies of blue,

And clouds of white.

The bright blessed day,

The dark sacred night.

And I think to myself,

What a wonderful world.

She apologized silently to Louis Armstrong about this psycho using his music to set a scene. She almost started to cry. She almost started to curse. Helga simply had no idea what else to do right now as she felt very helpless. Hearing the sounds of birds outside she wanted to open her eyes, but fear decided to speak for her.

"I know my beauty is awake right now." Brainy sounded close but not at the same time. She heard something of a clang before the smell of food reached her nostrils. "It's time to eat and greet the morning."

Slowly her eyes opened as a wave of nauseousness filled her. "Where are we?"

Brainy turned his head to look at his beloved laying there still in her prom dress. "At our honeymoon cabin."

She was definitely about to throw up now. "I'm going to be sick."

Moving away from the tiny stove Brainy reached for the small bag to glance around at his selection till he found the one he needed. Placing the liquid inside in order to shoot her with it, Brain approached her to place inside the vein in her arm.

Helga tried to move away with too much futility. "No, get away from me. No." She demanded as the needle neared her. "Please don't."

Brainy's eyes flitted to her petrified eyes for a briefest of seconds before concentrating on the task at hand. Seeing a clear vein he punctured her skin lightly to insert the liquid in. "I just placed Phenergan inside of you. It will help you with your nausea and calm you down."

"How can I believe you you sick freak? You killed my parents, threatened Arnold, kidnapped Phoebe, and now you kidnapped me. For all I know you gave me something similar to X." Helga wanted out of these ropes to kill him. Oh how it would feel so nice to rip his head off right now.

Brainy crinkled his nose up in disgust. "I am not a rapist, Helga. I'm pretty insulted by that." Getting up he placed the used needle aside to go back to the food.

"Murderer." She bit out. "Kidnapper." She was seeing red. "Psycho."

He was doing a mental count to see if she will also calm down a bit. "Might as well add the part where Arnold will be partially paralyzed for a while after I mixed a shot with something else quite special. Pity I couldn't do it all the way to him."

Her eyes went wide even as her body started to relax. Refusing to give in completely to this drug, Helga gritted her teeth. "Is that all you have planned for him?"

"For now."

His cold voice chilled her. "You aren't really going to kill him are you?" Her lip trembled at the thought.

"I might especially if he decides to dash in to save you." Finishing up the food, Brainy placed it in two small plates to bring over to her bedside. "Time to eat."

"Go eat a tire iron." Helga turned her head away from him.

"Time to keep up your strength. I don't need my wife getting sick on our honeymoon."

The way he sung that out had her turning her head back to him. "As if I would ever marry you."

Loving the fierceness of her growl, Brainy stabbed some of the scrambled eggs to bring towards her mouth. "I don't want you sick then."

"If I die then you have no one else to stalk."

"Untrue. I'll kill myself and follow you into the afterlife."

Somehow she had a feeling he would do that. "I bet you tainted those."

"No. See." Bringing the fork up to his mouth he took a bite of it before swallowing. "Now your turn."

Watching him get closer with that fork, Helga swallowed the lump in her throat before allowing him to feed her. Her heart felt like it was dying inside her as she took another bite.

"You are beautiful when you eat." He was fascinated always by those blue eyes and those pouty lips while she ate. "I loved watching you sleep."

Helga stopped as she tried to inch away from him. "What?"

"Every night watching you grow up, I watched you sleep. I watched you do your homework. Watched you sing and dance. Loved how you wrote in that journal."

"Please stop." Revulsion crawled up her again.

"Loved how you would cross your legs in mid air. To see your lovely legs become more exposed had me..."

"Stop." Helga's breathing changed to that of panic.

"To see your underwear. I spent so many nights watching you."

"Stop."

He ignored her. "Watched you undress just to see how your body changed over the years."

"Stop, just stop." Helga was starting to tear up.

Brainy scanned her body as it laid there knowing exactly the perfection that laid underneath. "Perfect breasts and hips."

"Stop." She whimpered out.

"How often I would just..."

Helga cut him off by screaming out, "STOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!" Calming down a bit, she slammed her head against her pillow. "Oh god please stop. Someone save me. Please stop." Feeling his hand on her hair, Helga tried to move away as best as possible once more. "Don't touch me. Stop. Stop!" Feeling his hand slap down against her mouth, she whimpered.

"You wouldn't act like this if Arnold confessed such things. Why him and not me?" He was peeved again at how Arnold took over her mind. "I will worship you to the end of my days. He only worshiped that trollop."

Tears were falling down her face more feeling the bitter helplessness come over her again.


Yeah I creeped myself out at that interaction between Helga and Brainy. Also I would never hurt Phoebe. Also I wouldn't hurt Arnold. I need him for something else.
