Epilogue
Madison awoke to the alarm beeping loudly. She sat up a bit dazed and confused the brutal images came back to her, the last clearness of Justin's memorable self-loath. Sniff… Sniff. "Eww! I smell!" Madison cried in disgust and ran into her bathroom.
About 10 minutes later Madison stepped out of the bathroom, she quickly changed into some fresh cloths. She stretched and on her end table she saw a paper flower and a small note behind it.
"I was wondering how I got home! I can't believe he found me." She said walking over to the table.
She picked up the small note and began to read the content:
Dear Madison Right.
You will never understand how relieved I was to see your unconscious body, but also was soon after filled with sadness for I could not give a proper good-bye. There is no easy way of saying this… I have been shipped off to live on my own, to stop corruption for both of our futures. I only wish you to find a better life with no madness. Forget about me please, it is the only way you could ever move on. But I will never forget about you and how I could never protect you from the horrors of life, so I depart leaving a paper rose and the best advice I can give at this time.
No time for goodbye,
don't put your life in someone's hands
their bound to steal it away
don't hide your mistakes
'Cause they'll find you, burn you
Just a memory:
Johnny C.
Madison's hands started to shake as she re-read the note over and over again. "This can't be true… He'll be at his house getting ready for skool and he'll say SURPRISE it's all a joke and, and…" she said hr voice cracking.
She ran out of her room and out of the house, she raced down to the C's home. She pounded on the door with both her fists. Mr. C opened the door a bit furious, because of her pounding.
He stared at the desperate looking girl, "You… You're alive!?" He gasped.
"Where's Johnny!" She shouted desperately, her voice cracking even more.
Mr. Johnny swiftly pulled her into a hug; this stopped anything Madison was about to say. The C's were always so close to the Right's when Madison's parents were murdered Johnny's family became her family. They always welcomed her with open arms.
Madison was still a bit confused when it finally clicked; she had been gone (kidnapped) for several days. Mr. Johnny sniffled loudly and said "I can't believe it. You're alive. Honey! Guess who's here!" He yelled grasping her arm and dragging Maddie into the living room where Mrs. C looked up and saw Madison. She gasped herself and rushed over tackling her to the ground. Mrs. C sobbed loudly, Madison was in a daze but then patted Mrs. C's back and wiggled out helping her neighbour off the floor.
"Now since we established that I am alive. Where is Johnny?" She asked her expression stone cold.
"We were so worried! Come in and lets discuss this over some coffee." Mr. C said avoiding the question.
"I said, where is Johnny." Madison said becoming very impatient.
"We sent him away. The principal said he was mentally ill and knew a solution to help so we let him go, he hates up both now." Mrs. C replied quietly.
Madison took steps back towards the door, never taking her eyes of her neighbours. She shook her head multiple times not wanting to believe what Nny's own parents' would send their child away just because a hippie said he was insane!!!
She backed up against the door and Mrs. C reached to Madison but she screamed out in horror "stay back you monsters! Stay away from me!!"
She turned around, opened the door and dashed out of the house her eyes wild and cloudy. She ran, cold and alone. She ran, and then stopped when she finally was out of breath. She walked arms wrapped around trying to stay warm, cursing herself for not remembering her coat. Madison approached the edge of the suburb; the sun was still rising and a hill with one tree stood proudly.
Madison trudged up the hill and leaned against the tree watching dawn come over the suburban complexes. Johnny and Madison used to come up here pretty often to talk, watch fireworks, watch sunsets. Madison stared into the distance, she thought about going to skool to take her mind off of the current events. But then a wicked thought crossed her mind, the reason of her sorrow wasn't the C's it was that principal. Ms. Kountertop.
"She destroyed my life… I must destroy her life in a favourable return." Madison whispered her eyes glinting manically.
-Skool Hallway-
Madison stood outside the principal office with a bag of white powder in her pocket. She paid a local drug dealer a pretty large amount of money to get a bag filled with contents enough to over-dose and instantly kill whoever ingests this drug. The secretary called her in, when the secretary asked Madison to ring in Ms. Kountertop's cup of tea. This was Madison's golden opportunity to kill her target.
Madison smiled innocently; she had her back turned and poured in the drug and stirred it in with stir stick. She smiled wickedly and entered the office.
Ms. Kountertop looked up from holding pencil on her nose she took it off and smiled as Madison put down the cup on her desk.
"Whoa, I didn't expect to see the kidnapped chick back here so soon." Ms. Kountertop said happily and mumbled thanks for the delivery of the tea.
Ms. Kountertop took a few sips and liking the taste she downed the rest in two large gulps. She put the cup down smiled brightly. Then her eyes widened and her breath caught in her throat and as she clutched her throat coughing desperately for air. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head, Ms. K slumped forward finally dead. Blood leaked from her frozen lips.
Madison smiled broadly glee sparkling in her eyes, Maddie shouted in mock fear and the secretary ran in scared half to death he gasped and ran to the phone. The police came not long after examining the scene they asked Madison a few questions. She slipped the empty bag she used to carry the drug into the secretary's garbage pal.
The police son founded the bag and pinned the blame on the sorry desk jockey. He was being hauled down the opposite side of the hall pleading for his innocence. Madison turned away from the police hauling their 'murderer' with a mirth written all over her face.
She whispered to herself when the hall was empty "It starts today…"
