Laura's Revenge

part ten:

"Bored Now, part four: Enter Grace, Exit Mitch"

After informing Gloria that her blood was now contaminated with werewolf blood and receiving a "better than expected" reaction from her, John started to feel more at ease until the nurse discovered that Gloria's surgical incision had healed rather quickly, which made his guilt return. Freddie left the hospital and immediately texted John to inform him that Lyle and the others were lurking about and that it was the best chance for them to nab, interrogate, and make them pay for what happened to Gloria among other things. However, once John departed the hospital, he was captured by Lyle and a woman named Melinda, stripped of everything except his boxer shorts, and tickle tortured, while Freddie confronted Willow and Hayley at gunpoint and asked them why they didn't stop Lyle and Mitch from hurting and raping Gloria and John, to which the two girls gave pathetic excuses. They took him to the usual hang out which turned out to be a run down mansion-like place where he heard John's laughter coming from the basement behind a bookshelf. Upon confronting Lyle and Melinda and demanding that they let John go, the duo began to plot how they were going to get rid of Freddie, prompting John to try to trigger his transformation without the full moon, which he was beginning to pull off. What'll happen next? Find out!

(Flashback to part nine)

"Let me go!" John demanded, as he tried to break the restraints.

"Oh ho, you're not going anywhere big boy!" Melinda put her knee on John's chest.

"Yeah, the fun has just begun!" Lyle added.

"Yeah, well the fun is ending!" Freddie came out of the shadows and held the two of them at gunpoint.

"Freddie! Thank God and I'm sorry you have to see me like this." John breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whoa, whoa, and whoa and in that order! Who the hell invited you in and who the hell do you think you are, coming in and ordering us?!" Lyle had fury beginning to fill his eyes.

"Lyle, just the coward I was looking for! You and I need a man to coward talk, later, but, first you and that bitch with you better untie John now!" Freddie held his finger near the trigger.

Melinda and Lyle stared Freddie down, hatred filling what was left of their eyes, making them appear almost dead.

"What're you statues or something?! Do it!" Freddie sounded very commanding.

"Look, what gave you the right to come in here and think we were going to take orders from you?!" Melinda got off of John's chest, reached behind herself to grab her dagger, and walked towards Freddie, followed by Lyle.

Seeing this, John began attempting to break free from his restraints, only to slightly make cracks in the restraints each time.

"Whaddya think, Lyle? Should we torture him as well and finish him off and if so, how will it be done?" Melinda managed to back Freddie into a corner and lightly put her hand around his throat.

"Of course we should torture him. Question is: How do we go about it? I mean we have so much stuff to choose from." Lyle had a sinister smirk forming on his face.

"I have a gun and I am definitely not afraid to use it." Freddie kept wielding his gun.

John continued to make deeper and deeper cracks in the restraints, getting close to breaking them. As this was happening, he was trying to think of a way to scare Lyle and Melinda and possibly kill them along with Hayley, Willow, and Mitch. Finally, he thought of a way to trigger his transformation without having to have the full moon rise; he started to think about his encounter with Razor along with Jane being blinded, Wendy being killed, Olivia being in a coma, and Gloria being raped and nearly killed when Mitch stabbed her. With these thoughts running through his mind, his eyes began glowing and he could feel his claws beginning to form.

Warning: Someone might go belly up.


(Now)

As Melinda and Lyle were continuing to corner Freddie, John started to get coarse hair all over his body and his bones started breaking and reforming. The next thing he knew was that he managed to break the table straps, but, that didn't stop him from continuing his transformation.

"Back away or I'll shoot!" Freddie warned.

"Oh, I'm so scared! How about you, Melinda?" Lyle scoffed.

"Shaking like a leaf!" Melinda snarked.

"I mean it!" Freddie continued to hold them at gunpoint.

"Hey, Melinda and Lyle!" John called out.

"What?" Melinda said, before turning around and getting an annoyed look on her face, "Who set you free?!".

"Yeah, nobody told you that you could be set free!" Lyle folded his arms.

"I set myself free." John said, as his fangs began to sprout.

"Uh, Lyle, is it me or did he just sprout fangs?" Melinda's demeanor changed from annoyed to shocked.

"Uh oh! He's transforming, again!" Lyle's eyes got big.

Pretty soon, John transformed into his werewolf form and started to back Melinda and Lyle into a corner, biding Freddie some time to grab a bag and locate John's clothes. Melinda and Lyle were horrified to the point of grabbing their crosses and holding them up at John.

"That only works in moves!" John said in a much more deep and sinister voice, sounding identical to Imhotep in the 1999 movie "The Mummy".

"Oh God! Lyle, what're we gonna do? This thing is going to kill us!" Melinda was shaking a little.

"Look, my pet, please change back to yourself. This isn't like you! You're scaring us!" Lyle seemingly pleaded, before grabbing wolfsbane and holding it up at John.

"You think wolfsbane is enough to scare me? Please!" John growled.

"Look, we'll never tickle you, again! Ever!" Melinda put her hands up.

"I didn't transform all, because, of the tickle torture you put me through! I am after you and your gang and your boss for the murders you committed!" John had saliva dripping from his mouth.

"We haven't committed any murders at all! We hate what Lyman has done and whatever you do to him won't affect us at all!" Melinda said.

"BUT, NEITHER OF YOU STOPPED HIM!" John snarled and dug his claws into the wall, preventing them from going anywhere, "I'M THROUGH PLAYING NICE WITH THE LIKES OF YOU TWO AND YOUR FRIENDS! I AM NOT GOING TO SPARE ANYBODY ANYMORE!".

"So, you're gonna kill us?" Melinda was breathing heavily, as John got nose-to-nose with her.

"You can say that, but, I don't know who I want to whack off first." John's eyes got a cannibalistic look in them.

"Look my pet, I promise I'll be nice to you! I promise!" Lyle was shaking.

Annoyed with being called a pet, John raised his clawed hand and scratched Lyle on the arm, before turning to Melinda and slowly making an incision on her neck. Seeing this, Freddie gathered John's clothes and went out to where Willow and Hayley were, in order to bring them to the basement.

"What do you plan to do with us now?" Willow asked.

"Follow me to the basement." Freddie led them to the bookcase.

"Why?" Hayley was scared.

"Just do it!" Freddie ordered.

Not wanting to piss him off any further, Hayley and Willow went to the bookcase and down the flight of stairs, with Freddie on their tails. As soon as they got down there, the two girls screamed when they saw John in his werewolf form.

"Willow! Hayley! Please help us!" Lyle yelled, as he clutched his bleeding arm.

Before anyone could say or do anything, Mitch came in through another door and got bug-eyed at what he saw. He pulled his gun out and went to shoot at John, only for Lyle to stop him.

"What the hell?!" Mitch was annoyed.

"Don't shoot him!" Lyle said.

"Why?" Mitch folded his arms.

"Because that's-" Lyle was cut off immediately.

Upon hearing Mitch's voice, John turned to him and let out a prolonged roar which was followed by a guttural noise. Mitch put his finger near the trigger, getting ready to shoot John dead.

"Ummm..." Melinda was cut off.

"Bored now!" John said, before lunging at Mitch and beginning his brutal attack by scratching him on the chest and right facial cheek, before going behind him, holding Mitch's left arm with his left hand, while holding his right shoulder with his right hand and slowly tearing into his neck.

Mitch screamed in pain, as the others watched helplessly and in horror. Blood began running down his neck at a rapid pace and bits of skin started flying everywhere.

"Oh my God!" Willow yelled.

"Run! Run!" Mitch screamed, as he tried to pry John off of him, despite realzing that it was too late for him.

Willow and the others went to run off, only to be stopped by Freddie.

"You're all going to watch this!" Freddie blocked them from running off.

Melinda grabbed a vase and started to inch her way closer to Freddie, in order to knock him out.


Meanwhile, back at the hospital

A girl around Gloria's age came into the hospital and got a visitor's pass, before heading to Gloria's room. Once there, she knocked on the open door.

"Come in." Gloria said.

"Hey." the girl greeted.

"Grace? Why I'll be damned! What-What're you doing here?" Gloria was glad to see her friend, yet surprised at the same time.

"I heard that you were in the hospital." Grace pulled a chair up and sat down next to Gloria's bed.

"How did you know?" Gloria raised an eyebrow.

"Well, long story short I was coming over to your house in order to give you my condolences, because, I heard about your family's massacre all over the news. I went to your house, but, you weren't there, so, I figured that you were at the Major Crimes division giving a report. I went there, explained who I was, and asked for you. Capt. Sharon Raydor came out and informed me that you were in the hospital due to an attack. Now, I'm sitting here with you." Grace explained in a nutshell.

"I'm pretty sure you know the whole truth by now." Gloria said in a monotonous way.

"Yes, I know that Raydor is your biological mom and that someone named John Bradley is your biological dad. However, I kind of knew your name was Gloria the whole time and that Laura Moran was an alias." Grace nodded.

"Kind of a shocker, right? I mean-Wait! You knew the entire time?" Gloria had a perplexed look on her face.

"Yeah, because, our yearbooks had you listed as Gloria Bradley the entire time." Grace told her.

"And you still went along with the whole Laura Moran thing, Grace?" Gloria chuckled.

"Yes, Gloria, I did. Anyways, aside from all of the shocking information that I have come to terms with, I'm glad to see that you're alive and I hope I get to meet your dad." Grace patted her on the shoulder.

"Oh, you'll meet my dad real soon. He's really incredible." Gloria smiled.

"I can't wait. Anyways, they must've gotten you real badly in order for you to be in the hospital these many days." Grace said.

"Grace, my being in the hospital didn't result from the slaughter of my adoptive family. It is a result of being raped and attacked by Vic Lyman's henchmen, but, that won't stop me from getting my revenge!" Gloria's smile turned into a serious look within a few seconds.

"Oh my God! Gloria, I'm so sorry that happened to you, but, what good will vengeance do?" Grace rubbed her shoulder.

"I'm going to avenge the slaughtered Moran family and my dad and my friend, Freddie Smirnov will also avenge his slain father and my dad wants to get those responsible for hurting my half-sister Olivia. Together, we will right the wrongdoings of Lyman and his gang!" Gloria had a clenched fist.

"I don't mean to sound like a wet blanket, but, by seeking vengeance, you'll be just as bad, if not worse than Lyman and his creeps." Grace insisted.

"Oh my God! You sound like my mother! Look, Grace, if it was your family or even your boyfriend Rob, you'd the same thing and don't say you wouldn't, because, I know you too well." Gloria had a stern tone in her voice.

"I'm not sure about Rob considering the fact that we're kind of off again." Grace said.

"You two are always on again, off again and so on and so on." Gloria remarked.

"Well, I do love him, but, sometimes, he can be a royal pain in the ass." Grace sighed.

"That's the glory of a relationship. You have occasional spats. However, if it doesn't work out, I hope you don't wind up single with a baby." Gloria gave her a look.

"Why the hell would you say something like that?" Grace raised an eyebrow.

"Nowadays, it happens. You and your boyfriend have spats, then, you make up by plowing each other, you wind up pregnant, he skips town and bangs many more, and congratulations, you are a single mother of a kid you did not intend on having, despite knowing what happens when you have unprotected sex. However, you'd bring a lovely beautiful baby in the world and he or she would have a great mother." Gloria bluntly laid it all out.

"There is a way I could prevent all of that." Grace said in an ominous way.

"Good God! You're not saying what I think you are?!" Gloria was suspicious and a bit scared.

"Heavens no! You know me better than that! No, what I meant was taking birth control and he wears a condom or simply not having sex. Good Lord, why would you think of such a thing?!" Grace was alarmed.

"Most selfish bitches do it and most selfish guys force the girl to do it and parents sometimes force 'em to do it, too!" Gloria shuddered.

"That is so barbaric!" Grace also shuddered.

"Tell me about it." Gloria nodded.


Back in the basement

It was now sunset and blood, guts, and body parts covered the basement floors and walls. John had brutally attacked and killed Mitch and Melinda and was celebrating the body count by licking the pool of blood. Willow and the others fled and Freddie left to go back to the hospital in order to see Gloria, leaving John all alone. John let out a howl, before jumping out of the basement window and going off on another spree.


Outside

A teenage couple were approaching the abandoned mansion for reasons unknown when the boy spotted an open door. Curious, he walked toward it, despite his girlfriend telling him not to, as the house gave her an uneasy feeling. Just as the boy was approaching the front door, a large wolf-like creature pounced on him and ripped him to shreds. The boy's girlfriend screamed to the top of her lungs and threw her purse at the beast, angering it in the process. The wolf turned to her and started to approach her, before giving chase into a forest-like area. Not too far into the forest, the girl kept running until she tripped over a tree branch. Just as she was about to get up, the wolf pounced on her and brutally attacked her until her guts were practically hanging out of her body, before going off. The weakened young lady managed to limp out of the forest area, before collapsing next to her boyfriend's corpse.


Back at the hospital

Freddie arrived, signed in, and got a visitor's pass, before heading to Gloria's room. As he stepped in, he knocked on her door.

"Oh, hiya, Freddie." Gloria waved to him.

"Hi, Gloria." Freddie smiled.

"Freddie, this is my friend, Grace. Grace, this is my boy-I mean my friend, Freddie." Gloria introduced the two.

"Hi." Grace said.

"Nice to meet you." Freddie replied.

To Be Continued...

Happy 2021 and a belated Valentine's Day!
