Disclaimer: None of the characters belong to me.
Author's Note: I got the idea for this story while listening to one of my CD's, so I don't know how it will turn out. This is my first "Jeepers Creepers" fic, so I also don't know if it will turn out to be true to the movie. It's just a short little story about how Trish feels about the Creeper taking Darry. It takes place about a week after Trisha left the police station to go home. Please Read and Review.
"One Day I'll Know"
by SparkingDiamond
Trisha Jenner stared out of the semi-foggy window of her bedroom on the second story of her house. It had been a week since she had returned from the PoHo County Police Station with her parents and since her brother, Darry, died. It seemed, to her, that all she did was stay in her home and look out the window; there was nothing to see but she couldn't bare herself to do anything else.
She had heard her parents talking about her the other night; her mother was concerned about the way she stayed in her room. Her father had told her mother that she was just going through a period; the 'mourning period' he had called it. Her father was a doctor, so he was always trying to put a practical explanation on things.
He had tried to do that with the Creeper, which was what Jezbelle had called it, but her father hadn't been able to convince Trisha that a person had taken Darry. A person, Trisha thought, wouldn't do what he did to those police officers; a person wouldn't suck someone's tongue right out of their head. A person wouldn't take her brother away after the way I pleaded with him.
With a sigh, Trisha turned away from the window and lay down on her bed, staring up at the ceiling. Unable to deter her thoughts of the Creeper, Trisha pictured his horrible face -if that's what you could call it- in her mind. She pictured the frightened expression on Darry's face when the Creeper flew out the window with him.
Trisha bit back tears when she thought of her brother; when they were younger, she had been so horrible to him, always teasing him and calling him names. She would give anything to take back all those cruel words and horrible jokes. It was too late, however, to apologize to Darry now.
Unable to stop herself, Trisha thought about that night in the PoHo Police Station, when Jezbelle was telling Darry about the Creeper.
"You got something it likes one of ya." Jezbelle had said. Obviously Darry was the one the Creeper wanted. But why? Jezbelle hadn't been able to answer her question but Trisha hadn't really given her a chance.
"You know which one it wants don't you?" Darry had asked Jezbelle. Jezbelle had said that Trisha was the one that the Creeper had wanted but she was wrong. The Creeper had taken her little brother; Trisha would have rather it been her.
"I have everything the same inside so you take me." She had told the Creeper, a despite and fruitless attempt to save her brother's life.
Apparently to the Creeper, she had not had everything that her brother had. 'What did he have that the Creeper wanted so much?' Trisha asked, rolling over on her stomach to think about the question.
She knew, however, that there was no way to answer that question. To her, it would become one of the unanswered questions in the universe; it would be thought about with questions like 'whatever happened to Amelia Airhart?' and 'does anybody know the way to Atlantis?'
'Why did the Creeper take Darry instead of me?' Trisha asked herself. 'Someday I'll know.'

Okay, I know that was really bad but I just had to write it anyway. I hope to write a longer "Jeepers Creepers" fic if this one gets good reviews.
