"How could that possibly happen?" Bo asked. "That's impossible."

"Violet beating Leatherface or Sam's death?" Scarlet asked.

"Both." Said Bo. "Violet didn't seem scared of Leatherface at all."

"I helped too." Mike reminded everybody.

"You did indeed." Said Bo. "Now let me ask you kids, why weren't you afraid of him?"

"I admit, I did watch the Texas Chainsaw Massacre several times." Said Mike. "And I confess a few parts scared me. But I didn't get too close to him. I just made it easier for Violet to kill him."

"You played every violet video game and watched every horror movie and you have no fighting experience?" Violet asked in surprise.

"No." said Mike. "Now, Sam's death. How could Leatherface possibly do that?"

"I know. It's unfair." Viola protested.

"Not that." Said Mike. "Sam's death was impossible. She was telling one of her creations to listen but she died. It wasn't Leatherface."

"Then who was it?" Bo asked. "Who killed my daughter?"

"I don't know." Said Mike. "But I'm gonna find out."

"Daddy." Samara shivered. "I'm scared."

"It's ok hon." Said Bo.

Violet watched Bo and Samara embrace for a moment, and then turned away. She gasped in surprise to see she was looking V's horse in the eye. She looked up angrily.

"Why did you ditch us?" Violet yelled. "We needed your help!"

"I told you, I cannot help you fight a Waxman. If I was caught fighting aside you, the boss would have my head."

"What boss?" Violet asked. "I killed a Waxman but Sam died. She was flouting in the air when her skull cracked and she was bleeding like a fountain!"

"Now listen here." Said V. His horse snorted with excitement waiting for it to come. "If I could help, then I would of."

"Well do us a favor and protect them, while I fight the Waxmen in the way."

"That will not be necessary my dear." He said. "Even if you do defeat all the Waxmen, you'll never survive against the boss."

"This is stupid! Just tell me who your sick boss is! Not like he's gonna find out you told me. I wanna beat this guy so just tell me his name and I'll finish the job!"

"I wish I could." Said V. "But I can't. However, I'll guide you until another Waxman comes." He looked at Violet. Her jacket was ripped and her ponytail was a mess. "I highly suggest you take off that jacket, black belt and fix the ponytail of yours. You look very tired."

"Do I?" Violet asked taking off her jacket. "I spent the night, dancing and drinking expensive pop and I had to wake up early for another karate competition." She pulled out her ponytail elastic and slipped it on her wrist. "Why do I have to take off my belt?" then the key fell on the floor, like a coin being flipped. She picked it up. "I had a pocket in my pants and I didn't notice until now?" she placed it in her pocket. "Dear Lord."

"Soon, you will thank me." Said V. "You look like you can use a ride. Come sit with me. Evie won't hurt you."

"I think I can walk." Said Violet.

"And I think you can ride." Said Bo picking her up gently. "You look more tired than a bloodhound."

"Besides Violet." Said Scarlet. "You were once a jockey, remember? You can handle this."

"A decade ago." Violet reminded as she sat behind V in his saddle.

"Hang on to me or you're sure to fall off. This is a really tall horse and you've been injured enough." V warned.

"Please," said Violet annoyed. "The real fight hasn't begun yet. I was only stretching."

"If that's basic stretching," said Sarah. "I wonder what it's like when you really fight."

V's horse turned around.

"What if we have to go upstairs?" Violet asked.

"Evie can go anywhere." Said V with pride.

"Wait, you named the horse after Natalie Portman's character?" Mike asked.

"Well it is a female and yes. Nobody made a statue of the human Evie so I named it to my horse. For the past five months I thought it was a boy."

"Let's just go." Said Violet. "I wanna fight some more."

"And a ride will allow you to rest so you can have a better chance of winning."

"Say Violet," said Sarah. "Your not actually gonna go out there alone and fight them?"

"Oh yeah." Said Violet excited looking down. Sarah looked short from where Violet was sitting.

"Are you serious?" her mother burst. "I won't allow it!"

"Mom." Violet started out maturely. "I've beaten the strongest guy in Atlanta and I picked up the worlds heaviest man and arm wrestled with a wrestler. If I couldn't do those things then I couldn't do this. And I'm gonna go out there."

"You wont." Said Bo. "Because you can't."

"You gonna call the FBI?" Violet asked. "Even if we could contact them, they wouldn't be here in time if they believed us. And besides V, I'm the only one who's really good at karate."

"You have a point." Said Mike. "But you still might die out there."

"Not if I had a decent weapon." Said Violet. "Like that chainsaw I stole."

"Now, for a girl with skinny arms, you should carry something a bit lighter, like a gun."

"But what if bullets don't kill them?" Violet asked. "What will?"

"And here's another concern." Said Mike. "When you pinned Leatherface, mercury came out of his body. What if that happens and there's no way out?"

"I'll figure out something." Said Violet.

"So Violet," V started. "Since I can't stop you from fighting or even fight beside you I'm gonna give you something that will make this war easier."

"What is it?"

"I'll show you when your ride is over."

"Is it lethal?" she asked.

"Very." Said V. "It's also so light, you can carry it around with you and not get in trouble."

He leaped off Evie.

"I might as well just give it to you now since we only have so much time."

He pulled his cape back. Violet never imaged a man could ever hold that many daggers. On the very right, there was a silver rusty rod that looked like a lighter. It was twice the circumference of any lighter though. He pulled it out.

"As bad as it looks, I believe you'll come to love it."

"I don't smoke." Said Violet.

V laughed. "It's no lighter. Take it, point it away from everybody and squeeze it. The tighter you squeeze, the longer it gets."

Like some victorious Hercules, Violet lifted it in the air and did as she was told. Then the rod extended to be taller than her riding a horse!

"It's light, it's lethal, and nobody will try to steal it from you."

"This is so cool. Wait, can this go through people?"

"Don't touch the ends. You'll bleed to death. And it's also good to knock someone out. Now I never loan people weapons and I would never let them keep them either, but you need it much more than I do so you must take it. Keep it!"

"How do I return it to normal size?"

"Gently tap it against the surface."

She obeyed. Then, she pointed it down and like a firefighter, and slid down onto the ground landing on her knees. Then she made it back to normal.

"Hey," said Samara. "What about us? Don't we get any decent weapons?"

"Are you gonna stand beside this young woman as her allies?"

"Well, no."

"Then I don't see why it's necessary."

"It's all about Violet!" Viola screamed jealously. "Ever since she got here, she's gotten more attention than me!"

"Violet was not feeling well." Bo snapped. "Now you better quit complaining about one of our guests. I give her full attention for perfect reasons."

"I know she spied on your little tour." Said Viola.

"What are you talking about?"

Violet's heart was beating so fast, she could feel it without touching her chest.

"You took your new girlfriend on a tour through the house."

"Now wait a minute young lady!"

"And Violet was stalking you."

Scarlet gave an angry glare at Violet.

"Ok young lady." She only called her that when she was really mad. "Explain why you did that."

"Scarlet, don't get mad." Said Ray. "Violet was concerned for you."

"Why?"

Oh crap! Was Ray gonna tell her what Violet thought of Bo?

"I wanted to make sure you weren't doing anything stupid." Violet lied. "Like smoking, drinking and having--,"

"I never did that in my life!" Scarlet roared. Then she froze. She wanted to take that back. She just lied to her own daughter. Then a flashback came back from the time she did that.

"Scarlet, meet Jake." Said Charlotte, Scarlet's sidekick and best friend. "He's my lab partner."

Scarlet was in college with Veruca's mother and Mike's parents. Seems like Scarlet and Mrs. Salt met before.

"It's nice to meet you." Said Scarlet shacking Jakes hand.

"Usually a woman curtsies." Said Jake. "But I'll give you points for individuality. Do I still have to bow?"

"I'd rather you didn't." said Scarlet pulling out a cigarette. She lit it and stuck it in her mouth.

"You smoke?" Jake asked.

"I know it's a dirty habit." Scarlet said. "I've been trying to quit for years."

"No, I smoke too." Said Jake. "In fact, I smoke the same brand as yourself. Would you like to come to my dorm tonight and we can talk and smoke?"

"I'd love too." Said Scarlet. "Give me your dorm number and the hall name."

"Nice." Said Jake. "So seven?" he handed her a yellow Post It note.

"Seven." Scarlet gave him a bright smile, before clutching onto her books for the next class.

Scarlet checked her makeup that night and made sure her outfit was flawless. The only color she ever wore in the day was pink. She was a pure girly girl. After putting on her sexy pink stilettos, she said good-bye to her cat and walked off.

After knocking on the door, she noticed Jake wearing casual clothing.

"Am I over dressed?" she asked.

"Of corse not." Said Jake.

Scarlet walked in and sat down on Jake's couch by an ash tray. She pulled out one of her cigarettes. Jake pulled it away and put it back into her box.

"No need." He said. "I'm giving you one of mine because I have plenty."

He sat down. They talked, smoked, and talked some more. Then Jake got up and went to the fridge. Scarlet saw him pull out two beers. Scarlet didn't drink, but she really liked this guy, so she accepted his offer and drank. She hated the taste. Pretty soon she was drunk.

"Hey." Said Jake. "Wanna have sex?"

"Yeah."

"Mom." Violet waved her hand in front of her. He mother snapped out of it.

"I'm ok, kiddo." She said. She was suddenly calm. It seemed as if she forgot about her past anger. "Don't worry about me."

Violet walked on, eager to find a Waxmen to kill. Ray went over to Scarlet.

"You have to tell her eventually."

"I can't." Said Scarlet. "It will break her heart."

"But she needs to know." Said Ray. "Since you wouldn't tell her, she asked me."

"You told her?"

"No. I was cut off by V."

"Good." Said Scarlet. "And you won't tell her."

"You gonna tell her?"

"No."

"Then I won't stop bugging you. She may be moody and slightly immature, but she's ready to know."

"Fine." Said Scarlet. "I'll tell her once we escape."

"If we escape." Said Ray. "Scarlet, we might die. Get real."

"When should I tell her? There's no good time in here. Help me out here."

"Ok." Said Ray. "We'll find a perfect time. We'll tell her."

-----------------------------

Victor walked down the hall like a robot, scanning every area for pray. Then he felt something. It was like a fact shot his brain.

"Leatherface is dead." He said. "The black belt killed him."

"How?" Freddie asked in surprise. "That's impossible!"

"She had simple outside help from that mall rat." Victor paused then resumed. "New rule." He grinned strangely. Neither Freddie nor Jason knew what was going on. It was like Victor was getting more powerful. His turtle neck disappeared showing off his six packs underneath his low cut V-neck trench coat.

"Boss…" said Freddie. "What are you doing?"

"Go!" he yelled. "Go tell my demons that I will kill the boy! If anybody else does, they will melt in Hell! Now go!"

"Without asking another question, Freddie and Jason ran off together. When they escaped Victor's sight, Victor laughed and leaned on the wall.

"It's good to be boss."

If you see any grammar errors, let me know. I checked it over already but I probably miss something.
