Sweet Revenge: Part III
Disclaimer: FFC own the whole HG gang. You know the drill.
Author's Note: Hey, thanks for the reviews everybody! i know that Juliette doing that to
Shelby is a little extreme, but you have to understand how much Juliette wanted to get
Shelby back for everything. Oh, I just want to tell you that at the beginning of this fic when
Shelby is thinking about what she did wrong, I mean with Daisy and Scott, Walt hasn't
visited her yet. You'll figure that out after reading a little while, but I just wanted to clear
that up. That's all. Ten reviews please!!! You can review twice if you want!!!!

"What did I do wrong?" Shelby asked herself for the millionth time. "Everything," a
voice in her head told her. "You don't deserve good friends such as Daisy and Scott,"
it continued.
Shelby shook her head, as if to shake the voice out too. She remembered something
Dasiy had told her before: "You know that voice in your head that's telling you you're a
bad person? The voice that says she deserves everything that's happened to her? That
voice is wrong. Don't listen to it."
A tear rolled down Shelby's cheek as she thought of Daisy's words. The tear rolled
off her chin and hit the floor, leaving a llittle wet spot as a result.
Shelby just watched it, her head spinning. "I'm going to fix whatever I did to Scott and
Daisy," she said quietly. Now if only she could find out how.
Suddenly, the door opened, making a loud "creak" noise.
Shelby quickly looked behind her.
The door was halfway open and no one was there.
Shelby then got a sick, familar feeling in her stomach. "It couldn't be...could it?" she
asked herself, suddenly feeling very scared.
She closed her eyes. "It isn't him. It can't be. Peter would never let him in. I'm safe
here." she reassured herself.
She then took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes.
"Who's there?" she boldly asked. No answer.
"It isn't him. it isn't him. It isn't him," she told herself.
The door opened wider and a shadow was revealed.
Shelby's eyes grew wide. "Juliette?" she asked hopefully. No answer.
"Kat?" Silence.
"Daisy?" she asked quietly. Still nothing.
Then the person was revealed.
"There's my girl," said a hoarse voice.
"Walt," Shelby whispered.
The figure moved closer and Shelby saw the man she had been scared of for so long.
"It's been a long time," he whispered in an evil voice.
Shelby backed up to the wall like she had done so many times before.
He smiled, for he knew his girl hadn't changed a bit.
-Later-
*Girls Dorm*
Shelby just sat there, paralyzed in fear. He was gone. He had left almost twenty
minutes ago, but Shelby was still terrefied.
She looked down at her cold, bare body. She hadn't even put any clothes on yet.
She decided she'd take a shower. "If only I could get clean again," she said to herself.
She slowly got off her bed and headed into the bathroom.
She stepped into the shower and turned the knob. She didn't even realize that she
had turned the hot water on all the way.
The scalding hot water burned her body.
Shelby cried out in pain, but she didn't turn any cold water on. It was like she was
punishing herself for not being able to stop Walt.
Shelby grabbed a bar of soap and began scrubbing her body with it.
"I have to get clean. Have to get clean." she murmured to herself.
After she had cleansed her body for over thirty minutes, she finally turned the water off.
By now, the bathroom was covered with steam and Shelby was finding it difficult to
breathe.
She grabbed a towel and left the bathroom to dry off.
She took the towel and began drying her body with it.
She then toweldryed her hair and combed it while throwing some clothes on.
She was about to put some makeup on when something shiny caught her eye.
Shelby walked over to the shiny object and stopped to pick it up.
Her stomach dropped as she realized what it was. Walt's watch.
Shelby quickly shut her eyes to block out the memories from the earlier incident, but
it was too late.
*Flashback*
"Go away! Get away from me!" Shelby screamed as Walt inched closer and closer
towards her.
Walt smirked. "Don't you know how much I've missed you?" he asked tenderly. He
gingerly put his hand to Shelby's face but she quickly pushed it away.
"Leave!" she said firmly.
Walt shook his head. "Shelby, you're hurt. I can see it. Let Daddy fix it," he said quietly.
Shelby shook her head.
"Let Daddy make it all better," he whispered.
"LEAVE RIGHT NOW! I'm calling the police! I'm calling!" Shelby screamed hysterically.
Walt frowned. "Guess I have to use force," he simply stated.
Before Shelby could even blink, Walt forcefully thrust her on the bed.
"NO!" she cried. She kicked and screamed but that didn't even unnerve him. Shelby
then gave up, for she knew she was defeated.
*End of Flashback*
"And I always thought Horizon was my sanctuary. I thought I was safe from him,"
Shelby said aloud. "There is no such thing as a sanctuary. You can't hide. You might as
well not even try," she continued, to no one in particular. "Peter, Sophie, everyone was
wrong." she whispered. She blinked away a tear. "He promised I'd be safe here...he
promised!" Shelby cried, refering to Peter.
She crumpled to the floor and just started bawling. "Be strong," a voice in her head said.
Shelby took a deep breath and stood up. She stared at her reflection in the mirror.
Who was that girl? She couldn't even recognize herself anymore. All she saw was a
scared, frightened little girl.
Shelby squinted her eyes. "What is that on my face?" she asked aloud.
She inched closer to the mirror and gasped at what she saw.
Dirt. Pure dirt. All over her face. Shelby didn't know that it was on the mirror, not on
her face.
She furiously scrubbed at her face, determined to get the dirt off, but no such luck.
"Come off!" she screamed. "Get off my face!"
"It's not going to come off," said a voice from behind her.
Shelby slowly turned around to see Juliette a few feet behind her.
"What did you say?" Shelby asked in disbelief.
Juliette started to walk towards her. "I SAID, it's not going to come off," she repeated
louder this time.
Shelby looked back at the mirror. "She's right," a voice in her head told her.
Juliette's icy voice didn't stop. "Ya know, you're always making fun of me. Telling me
I'm fat and ugly. Making me feel HORRIBLE about myself." Juliette said quietly.
Shelby just stood there, not knowing how to react.
Juliette continued. "You have made my life a living HELL. Both you and my mom.
Never enough is it?"
She didn't even wait for Shelby to answer.
"And now..." Juliette trailed off. Then she let out a laugh.
Shelby squinted her eyes, not understanding what was so funny.
Juliette motioned for Shelby to look in the mirror again.
They both just stood there, staring at their reflections.
"Look at you," Juliette whispered in an evil voice.
Shelby continued staring in the mirror, her eyes never leaving her reflection.
"You're filthy. Dirt. Pure dirt. Think about the things you did. The men you slept with."
Juliette nastily barked.
Shelby then couldn't look at her reflection anymore. She tore her eyes away and
looked at the floor.
Juliette smiled to herself. She had gotten her. But she didn't stop there.
"You slept with your own FATHER!" Juliette yelled so loud Shelby jumped. "You
didn't even stop him." she added.
Shelby didn't say a word.
"Why don't you do all of us a favor and leave? No one cares about you. How could they?"
Juliette sneered.
After a few seconds, Shelby looked up.
To Juliette's surprise, she grabbed her jacket and quickly pulled it on.
"Where are you going?" Juliette asked as Shelby walked over to the door.
Shelby turned around and Juliette saw, for the first time, a Shelby she had never seen
before. The usual sarcasm in her eyes was gone. No longer were her eyes twinkling
and bright. Her usual smirk was gone. All Juliette saw was cloudiness in her light blue
eyes. Her face was expressionless and she looked scared. At that moment, Juliette was
dying to take everything back and see Shelby's usual sarcasm and jokes again.
"You're right," Shelby whispered quietly.
Juliette's eyes went wide with shock. "What?" she asked.
"I'm a slut. A whore. No one cares about me. So I'm ending this right now." Shelby
said in a small voice.
And she pulled the door open and started to step outside.
"WAIT!" Juliette suddenly screamed.
Shelby slowly turned around.
"What do you mean you're ending this right now?" Juliette asked.
"I don't deserve to live." Shelby answered.
And with that, she was gone.
Juliette just stood there in disbelief, not knowing what to do. She tried to run and
find Shelby, but her legs wouldn't move. She didn't think that Shelby was going to actually
agree with her. She hadn't meant it to go this far. Wasn't she supposed to feel happy?
She had done it. She had gotten Shelby. She had gotten her revenge all right. But it
wasn't as sweet as she thought it would be.
-Later-
*In the Lodge*
"Okay, is that everybody?" Peter asked as Juliette stepped in the room for group.
Kat shook her head. "No, we're still waiting for Shelby," she said.
Juliette flinched at the sound of Shelby's name. "She's NOT going to kill herself. This
is Shelby we're talking about!" she reassured herself. But her heart told her otherwise.
"Juliette, earth to Juliette!" Peter's voice interrupted her thoughts.
Juliette looked up to see Peter and all the Cliffhangers staring at her.
"Yes?" she asked quietly.
"I asked you if you knew where Shelby was," Peter told her.
"I uh..." Juliette stammered. "What do I do?" she asked herself.
Everyone was just staring at her, waiting for her response.
Peter knelt down so he was at Juliette's eye level.
"Juliette, do you have something you need to tell us?"
TO BE CONTINUED...DON'T HATE ME!!!!!!!!!!!
