Part 2

Sept. 15

Jenny had always been a nice girl. Her relationship with Tom had always

been nice, she had never been that type of girl. Basically, Jenny was a

virgin. Even though Tom and she had been together for years, they had never

made it past the make-stage of the relationship. She had found out what a

'blow-job' was in her sophomore year of high school, from a boy in her gym

class. She had very limited and narrow views on sex, at least she did, until

she had met Julian.

Sept. 19

Jenny's parents became frantic with worry over their missing daughter.

Jenny's roommate, Marie, still hadn't heard or seen Jenny. Jenny was now

missing for 4 days, and it was quickly becoming day 5.

Sept. 19

Audrey got everyone together at Michael's house to discuss what should

be done. After the incident with Summer people were talking. Everyone was

assuming that the group must be responsible for Jenny's disappearance.



And the group had no idea where to start looking for Jenny. Julian

hadn't left an invite this time, or a warning. Zach's opinion was this time

Julian was playing for keeps, no more of that game nonsense, this time he

just took Jenny. Tom was in agreed with Zach, Julian was the type of monster

who would force a girl against her will. What Dee couldn't figure out was

how did Julian come back to life? Who would write his name in the stave of

life? Her first thought was maybe Jenny wrote him back into life, but she

dismissed that idea. Jenny valued her freedom too much.As they sat

discussing Jenny's disappearance Summer changed the radio, thinking the song

was creepy.

I'm going to take my time

I have all the time in the world

To make you mine

It is written in the stars above

Part 3

Sept. 15

"Hey miss?!"

Jenny turned to see who was calling her. It was a man, about her father's

age, in a blue Saturn, with music pouring from inside:

It is written in the stars above

The gods decree

You'll be right here by my side

Right next to me

You can run, but you cannot hide

She stopped and replied. "Yes?"

"I'm trying to find my daughter's dorm, she supposed to be in Jackson Hall,

could you help me?" The soft spoken, slightly balding man asked.

"Sure" Jenny took a step towards the car and pointed to a large brick

building.

"That's Copeland Hall, if you take a right down there you'll see a building

on the other side, that's Jackson Hall."

The man had stepped out of his car, and looked to where Jenny was pointing.

Sept. 19

The group of friends sat in Michael's living room brainstorming what to do

about Jenny. The radio played softly in the background:

You can run, but you cannot hide

Don't say you want me

Don't say you need me

Don't say you love me

It's understood

Don't say you're happy

Out there without me

I know you can't be

'cause it's no good

Part 4

Sept. 15

"Thank-you" He held out his hand to Jenny, she shook his hand. He shook

her

hand hard, surprisingly hard considering his small frame. The top of his

head came to just above Jenny's chin.



"Oh, you're welcome." Jenny said as she tried to dislodge herself from

the short balding man's grasp. She felt resistance, then suddenly was

tugged hard towards the car. He swung her body as he jerked her, causing

her to slam her head on the frame of the car door. Jenny stumbled, trying

to straighten herself up. Before she was able to recover the frightening

little man grabbed Jenny hard by the shoulders and slammed her hard against

the car until she was knocked unconscious. Jenny's last coherent thought

was of the song playing softly from inside the car:



Don't say you're happy

Out there without me

I know you can't be

'cause it's no good

I'll be fine

I'll be waiting patiently

Till you see the signs

And come running to my open arms



Sept 20



It was 10am. The group of friends had spent most of the night debating

whether or not to storm the shadow world in search of Jenny. Tom and Dee

had been 'pro' storming the shadow world. But Audrey had been 'con' storming

the shadow world. She had a major point in her favor, they hadn't been

invited, and without an invitation from Julian, they would be fair game

to any of the Shadow Men who they encountered. Before when they had entered

the shadow world they had been invited by Julian, so Julian had been the only

Shadow Man to be a threat. This time all the Shadow Men would be a threat.

They would never make it to Jenny alive.

Michael started to make some coffee for everyone. Dee and Audrey went

out to pick up some doughnuts for breakfast. And Zach turned the radio on,

the early morning radio show was doing a tribute to 80s bands and was

playing Depeche Mode's "It's No Good":

'cause it's no good

I'll be fine

I'll be waiting patiently

Till you see the signs

And come running to my open arms

When will you realise

Do we have to wait till our worlds collide

Open up your eyes

You can't turn back the tide

Don't say you want me

Don't say you need me

Don't say you love me

It's understood

Don't say you're happy

Out there without me

I know you can't be
