Part 11

Marie sat playing her Some Great Rewards CD. She straightened her flowing

black skirt, and stared at the young man who was currently complaining at

her choice of music.

"You know, this is really depressing . . . .don't you have something happy

we could listen to?" Marie's boyfriend, Tomithy asked. His black leather

jacket sat on the bed post, he was wearing his black jeans, boots and a

contrasting bright green t-shirt. He sat on her bed, thumbing trough her

CDs, his white-blonde hair falling in his eyes.

"Not really. My music collection revolves around 80s new wave, which as

you

know isn't happy fun-fun music." Marie replied angrily, "Who are you talk Mr

Tomithy Khat? Mr Punk-goth-dying-hair-boy? Besides, since Jenny's gone

missing, I don't feel like listening to anything cheerful."

"Sorry, Marie" Tomithy, looked at Marie, his cat-green eyes wide. "I'm so

sorry Marie" Marie, she felt the break in her control and threw herself in

his arms.

"Oh, TC, I know that she's one of that sick-o's victims" She sad between

tear-filled gasps.

Marie spent the night crying softly and praying to any god that would

listen to deliver Jenny home safely. TC sat holding her, he couldn't help

but grimace at the irony of the music.

She takes the blame

It's always the same

She goes down on her knees

And prays

I don't want to start

Any blasphemous rumours

But I think that God's

Got a sick sense of humour

And when I die

I expect to find Him laughing

Sept 19

'He's not going to break me!' Jenny thought angrily. She was back in the

shed. He had raped her. 'He's not going to break me! I can take this! I've

stood up against demons.' She was curled up in the fetal position on the

cold cement floor.

It hurt! I didn't know it would hurt so much. It had been as if he had

raped her very soul, not just violated her body. A body that currently felt

very sore, but that didn't matter. Because right now he was killing little

Laura. It just all seemed so awfully wrong. So wrong and unfair.

Part 12

Sept. 20

"Three days. . . .

Only three more days, then it will all be over. I know it's wrong, but I

just want it to be over, I just want release, I just want it to be over. Oh,

please God, just let it be over." Jenny thought to herself.

The horrible things the monster in a human suit had done to her. She

couldn't count how many different ways she had been violated. Jenny couldn't

believe there were so many ways to screw someone. And when she thought she

had suffered it all, he more horrific things to his torture list. She hated

being sodomized the most.

She looked down at her arms and legs, she looked like a torn rag doll that

had been badly sewn back together. First he would tie them up, strapped

down to a worktable. Then he would take a sharp blade, like an exacto-knife,

and slice the girls open, then slowly and methodically stitch them back up.

That was how he managed to keep them alive so long, if you called nine days

long. What Jenny couldn't fathom was her? All of the other girls were young

just adolescents, just kids, so why did he suddenly choose a 21 year old?

Sept 20

There was music blasting from within the room, Dee could hear it as they

walked down the hall to Jenny's room.

"Let's have a black celebration

Black celebration

Tonight

To celebrate the fact

That we've seen the back

Of another black day"

Dee knocked on the door to Jenny's dorm room. Tom stood beside her,

nervously fidgeting with his watch. The rest of the gang stood in the

hallway. They had decided to visit her dorm and see if there was any clue.

They were in agreement that Julian was behind Jenny's disappearance. There was

loud music was coming from within Jenny's room.

"I look to you

How you carry on

When all hope is gone

Can't you see

Your optimistic eyes

Seem like paradise

To someone like

Me"

The door swung open to reveil a lithe body decked out in black leather,

white hair falling into catty-eyes.

"Julian you bastard!!" Tom jumped the boy in leather. Dee had him on the

ground almost instantly. The three bodies twisted and struggled for

dominance in the entranceway to Jenny's room. Everyone was yelling, shouting

questions, and demanding Jenny. All the while the music poured out into the

hall.

"I want to take you

In my arms

Forgetting all I couldn't do today

Black celebration

Black celebration

Tonight

To celebrate the fact

That we've seen the back

Of another black day"

"Friends of your's?" Marie asked, standing above the mesh of human bodies.

Marie had long since lost her shock at seeing people beat-up TC, well, more

accurately try to beat-up TC. He had a way of antagonizing people. Until

she met TC, she believed that everyone had a natural talent, she had

believed everyone had a special ability to bring happiness to the world, and

that was their 'special talent'. After meeting TC, she changed her idea

about it bringing happiness to the world, because he most certainly had a

'special talent' at antagonizing people.

"I look to you

And your strong belief

Me, I want relief

Tonight

Consolation

I want so much

Want to feel your touch

Tonight

Take me in your arms"

Dee looked from Marie to the boy she had in choke hold. Not blue, green. For

some reason that didn't process, the boy on the floor had muted green eyes,

not blue. Dee and Tom backed off of TC, and looked up to Marie. Dee had

met Marie a couple of times, they weren't really friends, more like

acquaintances. "Who is this guy?" Dee questioned her.

"Forgetting all you couldn't do today

Black celebration

I'll drink to that

Black celebration

Tonight "

"My boyfriend, Tomithy Khat" Marie said in almost chipper voice as she

clicked off the music, and then added in a joking scolding tone "Have you

been a bad kitty?"

"Very funny" TC grumble as he got to his feet. "Who are you crazy people?"

"We're friends of Jenny." Piped a nervous little voice, out baby-doll

looking girl with pale curly hair.

"We thought there might be some clue to Jenny's disappearance, so we came

here, ummm I'm Tom Locke," Tom finished lamely as he held a hand to Marie.

Marie shook it vigorously, and said "I thought you were just people Mister

Tommy-Cat had pissed-off," Then in a more softer, vulnerable tone she added

"I'm glad you're here, she told me all about you.. .. I mean with Jenny

missing and. . .her parents were here the other night . . ..and there's only

three days left. . . . I mean . . I mean. . .Oh, God, Jenny.. .was so nice

and" Marie cracked up and started crying, TC moved to here side, and slid

his arm around her shoulder.

"We were just heading out to IHOP, for breakfast, why don't you come with?"

Tom said to the group, then softer to the crying girl "Come on little Ree, "

The group, nodded to each other and followed TC and Marie out of the

building. Audrey, stared at the couple, they were beyond mismatched. Marie

had long, at least a good 3 ft of brown hair, and brown eyes, she was

wearing pink T-shirt with some cartoon bunny, the caption read "I am

Ryo-Ohki". And TC, looked like some crazy punk-goth guy, decked out in black

leather, with a leather dog collar (complete with tags!), with his bleached

white hair, and after having gotten a better look, she noticed his nails

were painted alternately blue and black, and he was wearing heavy black

eye-liner. 'And I thought Mike and I were an odd couple.' Audrey muttered

to herself.

Music:Black Celebration, by Depeche Mode, from the album "Black Celebration"

Part 13

Sept 21

As far as Marie was concerned the breakfast at IHOP, had not gone well.

Jenny's friends hadn't even known about "The Niner". And kept looking at one

another, as if there was something they weren't telling her. Not to mention

all of the suspicious glances thrown at TC. She began to wonder about "Jack

Frost", the electric-blue eyed guy in Jenny's paintings. 'I wonder if he's

real' Marie pondered. She was glad TC had worn his contacts, other than

correcting his sight, they dulled the color of his eyes, he had said it was

sick irony that he was named Tomithy Khat, and very appropriate that he had

been nick-named Tom-Cat. His eyes were a bright clear green, not brownish

like most peoples, but a clear glass green, like a cat's. They even dilated

like a cat's, a freakish rare eye condition. She layed back on the bed,

feeling lonely and scared, and wishing she hadn't sent TC home. She stared

at Jenny's paintings of "The Ice Prince", for the first time, she thought

she saw a sad yearning look in the blue eyes, not just the aggressive look

she normally saw in them. She closed her eyes and listened to the music:

Well I'm down on my knees again

And I pray to the only one

Who has the strength

To bear the pain

To forgive all the things that I've done

Oh girl

Lead me into your darkness

When this world is trying it's hardest

To leave me unimpressed

Just one caress

From you and I'm blessed

When you think you've tried every road

Every avenue

Take one more look

At what you found old

And in it you'll find something new

I'm shying from the light

I always loved the night

And now you offer me eternal darkness

I have to believe that sin

Can make a better man

It's the mood that I am in

That's left us back where we began

Sept 21

Audrey and Michael sat across from each other at the local Mac Donald's,

down the block from Jenny's college. Audrey was tired, Dee, Tom, and Zach

only talked about Julian kidnapping Jenny, and with every minute Audrey

wondered, right now she told Michael her worst fear. "What if Jenny was

kidnapped by "The Niner"?, or worse yet, what if Julian or one of the other

Shadow Men were "The Niner"?" It would explain why Jenny broke the

kidnapper's mold, and the horrific things the girls had suffered through

sounds like something the Shadow Men would inflict on their victims. Oh,

God, Michael, don't you see? Nine? Like the Nine worlds?"

Michael looked at Audrey, her pale shaking frame demanding an answer. He

only had one to give. "It would make sense wouldn't it?" He held her

perfectly manicured hand in his clumsy one, he squeezed her hand, and

smiled. "We'll get her back, I know we will." He said as reassuring as

possible, he just wished to God that it was true.

"So lie to me, But do it with sincerity, Make me listen, Just for a minute,

Make me think There's some truth in it. Come on and lay with me, Come on and

lie to me, Tell me you love me, Say I'm the only one, Experiences have a

lasting impression, But words once spoken Don't mean a lot now. Belief is

the way,The way of the innocent, And when I say innocent, I should say

naive, So lie to me"--Lie To Me, Depeche Mode: Some Great Reward

Part 14

Sept 21

Detective Robertson had paid his second visit to the Thornton house.

Jennifer was the ninth girl. He was certain, they had found Jacquline Berat

with Jennifer Thornton's shirt literally shoved down her throat. In a couple

of days he would be paying another to the Thornton house . . .To ask her

parents to come down and identify their daughter's warped remains.

He had yet to determine what made Jennifer Thornton so special to "The

Niner", special enough to break his pattern of adolescent killing, special

enough to be his ninth victim. No one seemed to have an answer. When he

asked her family and friends they just said 'Jenny is a nice sweet simple

girl', it was listening to a broken record. Except for her roommate, Marie

Forrester had said, "she is sunshine, maybe he wanted to kill the sun".

He had hoped the Thornton girl would bring about a break-through in the

case, but now he doubted that, and like the other detectives working on the

case was just hoping the killer would make a mistake.

Sept 21

Fifteen minutes ago, Marie and turned off her CD player and called Jenny's

parents to see if they had any news of her missing roommate. Jenny's mom

answered the phone, and tried to speak to Marie. Jenny's dad took the phone

away from his crying wife, and in strained voice told Marie the bad news.

Jenny was the ninth girl to have been kidnapped by "The Niner". In two

days they would find Jenny just like all of the other girls. Marie couldn't

stand the thought of that. She had grabbed her coat, and ran out the door.

She ran across campus and then three blocks north until she reached a small

group of apartment complexes. She into the first building, buzzing C9 as she

entered the first set of doors, then as the doors clicked open she ran up

the stairs to the third floor, and banged at the door at the end of the

hall. The door opened and she flung herself, on the boy.

"Oh, Tommy, he did kidnap Jenny...." Tom wrapped his arms around her and

led her to the living room. She sat on the couch, sniffling, and looked up

at TC through tear-filled eyes. His hair was wet, and no longer the bright

winter white, but streaked with fine black stripes, like a zebra. Or a

tiger. He must of just gotten out of the shower because the only thing he

had on was his collar (which Marie was convinced he wore 365-24-7) and a

bright red towel, with a cute cartoon cat, wrapped around his waist, in pale

blue cursive lettering it read 'Hello Kitty'. Before she could help herself

she giggled up at him. "I thought you had just thrown it in a closet, I

never thought you'd actually use it" she said laughing and crying

simultaneously.

"Listen before I feel completely emasculated, I'm going to go put some

MANLY clothes on... and we are going to forget about this whole .. ." he

played with edge of his towel, "cute-kitty-towel-thing" he finished lamely,

blushing wildly. He walked down the hall, and as he shut the door to his

room, Marie called out "I love you, my Hello-Kitty-Man". If she didn't

know better she would have sworn TC had planned this, no matter what

happened he always had something up his sleeve to cheer her up. TC was

playing a song by Brian Stetzer Orchestra's, Stray Cat Strut.

"I'm shying from the light

I always loved the night

And now you offer me eternal darkness

I have to believe that sin

Can make a better man

It's the mood that I am in

That's left us back where we began"
