Headed both ways

How Michael knew that Nikki was still alive, he barely knew him self. It was a physic connection he guessed at that had been carried from Jamie, skipped Steven and was carried to Nikki. She knew Michael was out there, he knew she was out there, and it was only a matter of time before the two met up.

Michael walked down a dark country road. A Light could be seen in the near distance, but it's light was limited and didn't help him at all. The light got nearer as he steadily walked towards it.

Michael had a certain steadiness about him. His breathing was always the same, his gait, the steady pace he used as he stalked his victims. he stopped at a line of trees bordering the property of the house. A family could be seen through the windows. They were eating...pizza and watching T.V. They seemed so happy. The happy scene triggered memories of something he had lost when he...heard the voice. the voice to kill his sister. After that, only one sole person had ever really tried to reach out to him. Jamie, she was dead now, but that day she reached out to him, he took off his mask. She touched his face and almost instantly, he whirled on her, trying to kill her. His knife didn't reach her that day, but years later, a corn thresher did.

He continued to walk, slowly, but surely finding his way back to his house. His Childhood and a unforgettable confrontation.

Nikki was wearing a gray hooded sweat shirt and blue jeans. The over sized hood of the sweatshirt hid her face almost completely. If any one did see her face, they were met with blank, charcoal gray eyes, emotionless. She was in west Haddonfield, headed in the direction of the Myer's house. It was where she knew he would be. her Killer, as she silently called him. All those 4 years in Smith Grove, she relived that moment when she met his eyes, and that instant before the crowbar bashed her across the head. It was painful, for sure. It was 2 days after Michael had left and two days before the group of spray-paint can armed teenagers found her, almost dead. Nikki now held an almost super human power. She was strong, almost as strong as Michael. But her strength came from hate, anger and sadness that had enveloped her while she was at Smith Grove. Walking down the side street, you could see that it was a rather run down part of the town. From a dark alley, two teenagers, maybe a gang member, looked at Nikki and grinded. This was going to be fun. Or so they thought. As Nikki passed the dark alley, they sprang after her. One, a tally, muscular boy, grabbed her shoulder and spun her around, knocking her hood back. Before Nikki made a move, even a startled one, the other, stockier boy was at her back, holding a switch-blade knife to her throat.

"Watchyah got for us, babe? gunna show us something?'

Reaching behind her, she swung around and twisted the boy's arm and a loud POP! could be heard. The Boy backed away, screaming.

"You bitch, you Mother fuck whore!"

Staring straight ahead at the other boy, she went after him, holding the stocky boy's knife. To late, he didn't fast enough. The knife came down on his left eye, then across his nose and over the side of his neck. he backed away so fast, you would think the devil was after him. Not far from the truth. The boy she had hurt first, ran up behind her and landed a punch to her lower back. Nikki fell forward and on the pavement, face down.

"Not so tough now, are you, bitch?...now your....arrumph!

Nikki had rolled over on her back as the boy had bent over her. racing her hands, she kicked her feet forward, hitting the boy in the face and landing upright, propelling herself forward. Backing away, she Kicked him viciously in the head, knocking him senseless, leaving his partner in crime staring dumbstruck. I wont kill now, she thought. Killing is...for him.

The Haddonfield police station was a buzz for the past two days. On the recent, Chief Steve, as he was called, could be found looking over some papers in his office. A loud knock made Steve look up at the door to his office.

"Come in"

A Lady of more close to her middle ages was standing there, clothed in a blue turtle neck whit a fleece vest and black jeans. She had a very worried look on her face. It wasn't just worried, is was stressed, tired and had scars on it.

"How can I help you, Mrs......?"

"Kara Lloyed, Mr. Steven"

She stuck out her hand in a gesture to shake, and Steven shook it and gestured her to take a seat in-front of his desk.

"As you can see, I'm Nikki's mother. Yes, yes, I know Steven is dead and her best friend...."

Steven broke in a thousand questions bubbling up in his mind.

"Where were you those four years when Nikki was at Smith Grove? where did you go, and where are your two sons?"

"Ha!" She snorted. Why was it that every one knew about her family and every thing about her daughter? "Steven, I can see that you, like every one elese, knows every thing that goes on that may even be slightly related to Michael Myers. Just for you to know, Nikki ran off when Michael started to chase her, I told her to run, and I got the boys, Danny and Steven, to a safe place. When I came back, she was gone, all I found was blood. I left with my boys and went to Utah, where my grand parents live. My boys still hate me for leaving Nikki, but they are safe, away from this evil place and Michael Myers, who you never found!"

"Michael wont ever leave Haddonfield, even, if in body, he is killed. Sorry I assumed, I never knew that no one told you what happened to Nikki. So, none of your sons are with you? It's probly for the better. I think.........

At that moment, Nick came in, with news on the search. They had, for the past few days, been trying to find Nikki Lloyed. It was a dried up trail, until now.

"Steve, they found out that these two boys were attacked by this girl that fits Nikki's description. They said quote; 'she had alot of strength, man she barely twisted my arm and I felt it pop out of my socket, man' unquote. see....."

Kara interrupts as she hears what Nikki has done. A sudden fear flared in Kara. I hope to God she doesn't turn into Michael.

"I knew something had happened, but, she's escaped?, you what, she, if she's mad or....."

"Kara, Steven answered, She's been lose for the past week, Were on her trail right now...."

Looking up at Nick who has been impatiently rolling his eyes and crossing his arms.

"What Nick?"

"They say the report of these two boys and 2 others, concluded that she's headed in the direction of the Myers's house, Steve. I think we should be there when she is, Steve."

"Or when they are", Kara mumbled. "I want to come, maybe I can talk to Nikki, Steve"

"Alright with me, but I......."

"She asked me", Steve interupted Nick. "Your welcome to come, but....."

"But what?"

"Just remember what happened"

"I wont ever forget, ever"
