Degrassi Stalker Series
Authors Note: March 28 2004
Well just like last time I had a lot of votes. Two people will be dying this time around, but this is the episode where things get a little more interesting! Anyway please review after you read the story, I enjoy all reviews, not so much the bad ones but........everyone likes a review! (Once again, try to excuse the errors you find, I still don't have a spell checking program)
Due to this episode's graphic nature, an "R" rating is suggested
Episode 4 "Close Encounter"
Everyone sat in front of Degrassi Community School in stunned silence. Three murders in one week. It may not have been as shocking if it had happened anywhere else to anyone else. But this killer was preying on the schools very own students. Students who all knew each other. Which meant that a particular group of Grade 9's and 10's had something to worry about.
"I.....can't believe this," Paige replied.
She'd been all too close to all three murders, directly linked to Emma, Manny, and Hazel. "I'm next right? That freak is coming to get me next-"
"Paige, don't even talk like that. It was just....a coincidence," Terri replied.
"Yeah, try telling that to the people who are DEAD!" Paige exclaimed.
J.T. himself was upset about the murders as well.
Manny, his crush was dead. Along with his second best friend, Emma.
"This sucks. Why does it have to be happening here, to us?" J.T. rhetorically asked.
"Because this is Degrassi, and heartbreak and pain are it's middle name," Liberty replied, surprisong the group.
"You think you can be a little more sensitive, Liberty?" Jimmy asked.
Liberty curtly straightened her eyeglasses.
"Of course Jimmy. I wont mention how many times everybody got stabbed in the process in my article," Liberty replied.
"Article?" Paige asked, lifting her head up.
Libeerty put on a triumphant smile.
"That's right. The people of Degrassi Community School have a right to know that a killer is on the lose and anybody directly linked to the victims could be next," Liberty replied.
"So that could be you right? You knew Emma and Manny," J.T. replied.
"Yes, as an aquantaince, not a personal friend. The way I see it, if you used to be Emma, Manny or Hazels firend, girlfriend, or boyfriend.......you might be next," Liberty replied.
Paige stood up.
"This is exactly what I've said from the start. Only psychopath's kill people unreleatd to each other in any way," Paige replied.
"Psychopath's kill anyone," Spinner spoke up for the first time.
Paige crossed her arms and looked down at him.
"Yeah but just anyone isn't dying. Our friends are dying. Whoever's been killing them, probably knew them. Which mean's the killer could be someone we all know."
At this point, everyone from Marco, to Liberty were staring at each other. Any one of them could have been the killer.
But leave it to Liberty to find loopholes in this theory.
"Ah hello, your the one who told the police the killer was tall. Taller than any of us," Liberty replied.
"Yeah, but could anyone see the persons feet?" Paige asked.
Marco, Jimmy, J.T. and Spinner all shook their heads.
"Which means, they could be wearing thick shoes or something," Paige replied.
"What are you getting at with this?" Liberty inquisitivly asked.
Paige uncrossed her arms and spoke in a tone that was dead serious.
"I'm saying that thuis killer, guy, girl, one of us, not one of us, whatever..........is probably going to kill one of us. Soon,"
***********************************************************************
J.T. was tuned out of the conversation in English with Ms. Kwan. He couldn't stop thinking about the past week. Why did Emma have to die, J.T. thought. Or Manny?
Let's see, J.T. thought. Emma, was too smart. Was she the nerd? And Manny...as much I don't want to admit it, she was the...slut. And Hazel had saw the killer's face.
So who's next?
J.T. took Emma's notepad from his backpack and opened it.
He wrote down everyone's names, crossing out the ones who were now dead. Next to each name he wrote down the persons "title"
Manny- the slut Emma- the nerd Hazel- saw the killers face Paige- could she be the mean popular girl? Jimmy- if Hazel wasn't the token black person, maybe Jimmy is Spinner- ah, stupid, duh Marco- he's gay. That's gotta count for something Me- Im the comic relief. Jokers die too..... Liberty-.....
Wait a second, J.T. thought.
As far as he could tell each person he knew could be called something different. Accept Liberty. She was a little bit of everyone. Too smart for her own good, nerdy, mean, kinda moronic.......could she be next?
"Mr. Yorke, I asked you a question," Ms. Kwan said, snapping J.T. back to reality.
"What?" J.T. stupidly asked.
Several people in the class laughed.
"Looks like J.T. spaced off again. Another one of his redeeming qualities Ms. Kwan," Liberty spoke.
J.T. stared in Liberty's direction.
One thing he knew for sure. If that killer didn't hurry up, he'd get her first.
***********************************************************************
"Over here J.T.," Paige called out.
J.T. looked over at Toby.
"Go ahead, I'll go sit with Kendra," Toby said.
J.T. placed his tray next to Spinner and sat down.
"I figure the people who might be next should stick together," Paige coyly replied.
"That's not funny Paige," Ashley said sternly.
"What? I think it's about time we face the music here. We should be able to talk about it," Paige replied.
"I don't think Hazel would've talked like this if you were the one who-
"Hazel wouldn't have talked like this ever. Can we drop it," Paige spoke quickly.
It grew silent for a moment, but the silence was soon interupted by Liberty.
"Okay," Liberty said sitting down next to J.T. "You all ready for your interviews?"
"What interviews?" Paige asked.
"The ones I'm gonna include in my article for tomorrows edition of the Grapevine," Liberty replied.
"What is with everybody? These murders shouldn't be some casual spectacle," Ashley replied.
"Ashley, the truth of the matter is, people die everyday. That's life," Liberty harshly replied.
Ashley shot Liberty a short tempered look.
"And I'm sorry it just happened to be people we all knew, but life goes on. Get over it," Liberty replied.
Ashley had finally had enough. She stood up angrily and left to go find Ellie.
"Well, I guess she's not in it. Who want's to go first?" Liberty asked.
***********************************************************************
"Liberty, Liberty!" J.T. ran.
It was after school and Liberty was about to finish writing her article for the Grapevine.
Liberty turned around slowly, annoyed.
"Am I wrong, or are you the one who told me that following you around was getting old? And now here you are."
"Liberty, we need to talk," J.T. replied.
"Fine," Liberty sighed. She opened the door to her "office" and let J.T. inside.
"Can we make this quick? I have a deadline," Liberty said.
Liberty sat down while J.T. still stood.
"Okay, so me and Emma-
"Emma and I," Liberty corrected J.T.
"Whatever. Look, we were trying to see if we could make out a pattern. An order that the killer would use on his victims," J.T. started.
"What makes you so sure it's a he?" Liberty asked.
J.T. put his hands through his hair.
"Liberty I'm trying to help you dammit!"
"Help me? Help me? How, by telling me who's gonna die in what order?"
"YES!" J.T. exclaimed.
Liberty sat back.
"Okay, let's here it. Who's next?"
J.T. thought.
"Well, I don't know actually-"
Liberty let out a snort.
"But I think you might be on the killer's list," J.T. replied.
Liberty sat up a little.
"I told you this morning that-"
"I know, only people who were directly involved with victims were next," J.T. said.
"Exactly. And Emma wasn't my firend. Neither was Manny. I don't even think I have any friends," Liberty said scratching her head.
"Look Liberty, I don't think this killers got a clear agenda. But you can't print that article, trust me," J.T. said.
Now J.T. had Liberty's attention.
"Why not?" Liberty asked.
"Don't you get it. It's all about who's smart enough. Hazel, she saw the killer's face so he....or she had to killl her before she could tell anybody who it was. And Emma, she the killer thought Emma must have seen their face too, only she didn't see enough to identify them. And then she got smart with this notebook,"
J.T. took out Emma's notebook and flipped it to the page he had written earlier.
Liberty glanced at it.
"What about Manny the....slut as it say's here," Liberty said.
J.T. sighed.
"She got smart too. She wanted Emma to help her because she thought she was next, and.....she was," J.T. replied.
Liberty flipped throught the notebook.
"Okay but what does any of that have to do with me?"
"You're gonna get everybody thinking with your article. I'm afraid that if you print it, you might be next," J.T. replied in a worried tone.
Liberty tossed the notebook aside.
"Oh how sweet, J.T actually cares now. Bull," Liberty replied.
"What?" J.T. asked.
"What's to stop the killer from killing you next? After all, you're the one who's warning me. Wouldn't that put you under the category of "getting smart?" And Paige, didn't she say that everybody needed to stick together?"
"Ah..." J.T. trailed off.
Liberty stood up.
"Bottom line, Im just a journalist. I report facts, not suspicion. I have nothing to do with this mess."
"No, Liberty you don't understand-"
"Bye, J.T.," Liberty said.
J.T. grabbed his notebook and stood up.
So much for trying to warn her.
***********************************************************************
"We can cheat death," Spinner spoke.
"This isn't Final Destination, deaths not after us," Paige replied.
"And what about that little speech you made this morning?" Marco asked.
"I meant what I said," Paige replied.
"So, you really think one of us is next?" Terri asked.
**Well, well, well. Talkning about me eh** The killer stood just outside, in some bushes on the side of Paige's house. It was about 8:00, so it was dark enough for the killer to hide.
"I'm worried. What if that lunatic tries to get me when I sleep?" Terri asked.
"That would be doing you a favor. This killer want's everyone to suffer, slowly," Paige replied.
"Okay, so what if this whole thing really is just somebody we all know getting rid of us? The only people who do that are the nerds that get picked on and want revenge," Marco said.
"Marco, anybody can snap if they get pushed the wrong way," Paige replied.
**I should know**
"What do you think Liberty wrote in that article?" Terri asked.
"Spmething's thats gonna get her killed," Paige replied shortly.
"Paige!" Terri replied.
"What?" Paige asked.
"Unless she hasn't printed it yet," Jimmy spoke up.
"Well, yeah, if she hasn;t printed it, she's saved. But it's Liberty. The killer would be doing what we've all wished form day one if he murdered her," Paige replied.
"Do you have to mean Paige?" Terri asked.
**Hasn't printed it? I never thought of that. And here I was getting ready to kill all of them. I guess I should go to the school, and see what I can do** The killer left, headed for the school.
"What if whatever she wrote gets one of US killed?" Jimmy asked.
Everyone grew silent.
"Oh my gosh, you're right," Piage replied, getting serious for the first time all night.
"So what are we gonna do?" Terri asked.
"I have to go stop that article form coming out," Jimmy replied.
"Alright, I'll go with you dude," Spinner said starting to get up.
"No, stay here. What if the killer's already thought of this and is at the school. I don't want any of you guys getting hurt," Jimmy replied.
Paige looked up at the clock.
"Fine, but if you're not back by 9:00, were calling the cops," Paige said.
Jimmy agreed.
"Well, here goes," he said.
***********************************************************************
J.T. sat staring at a of Manny.
"Earth to J.T.," Toby said.
J.T. looked up.
"You don't think Manny was a slut do you?" J.T. asked.
"She WAS pregnant at some point. That counts right?" Toby replied.
J.T. got off his bed and looked out the window.
"I think Liberty's dead meat," he sighed.
"What?" Toby asked.
"I tried to warn her," J.T. replied in a moody tone.
"Warn her what?" Toby asked suspiciously.
"Unless," J.T. said suddenly.
He walked over to the chair at his computer and grabbed his jacket.
"J.T. where are you going?" Toby asked.
"To the school. I'll be right back. And whatever you do DON'T tell my parents," J.T. replied.
Toby watched as J.T. left.
J.T. made sure he grabbed an umbrealla. He heard it was supposed to rain.
***********************************************************************
Liberty was still at school typing her article. She wanted it to be perfect. This was after all the biggest story of her career.
She jumped a little at the sound of thunder close by. She stood up and looked at the window.
"Great," Liberty said out loud "Now I' walking home in the rain"
Liberty walked back to her computer and started to type again, when suddenly the lights went out and so did her computer.
Liberty jumped again at another loud clash of thunder.
"No, did I save? Did I save?" Liberty began mummbling to herself.
"Fine," Liberty thought. She'd just have to go find the breaker box.
***********************************
Outside, Jimmy WAS working on trying to get past the security system, but he'd noticed that the door opened automatically. The power must have gone out.
Jimmy stepped inside, soaked, and looked around.
"Liberty!" he exclaimed.
It was woth a shot, a long shot, but still worth it.
He started towards the computer lab
**********************************
Liberty walked towards the Control Room but stopped short when she noticed a dark shadow pass by her quickly.
"What was that?" she thought. "Stop it, you're being paranoid."
Liberty opened the door and found a keresol can. She'd have to use this to light the gas lamps back at th lab.
Liberty picked up the can but dropped it's contents everywhere after another loud clash made her jump.
"NO!" LIberty exclaimed.
********************************
J.T. entered the school and looked around. No pwer.
********************************
Jimmy enetered the computer lab and looked around. Where was the story?
Liberty bent down to try to clean up her mess but a chill went down her spine when she felt someone standing behind her.
She stood up slowly and turned around
"Why hello there," the killer spoke.
"Ah, who are you?" Liberty asked.
"Oh, I believe you know me very well. You are after all the one writin a piece on the Grapevine on me," the killer replied.
A lump grew in Liberty's throat.
"You're....the killer?" Liberty asked.
"That's me. You wan't an autograpgh? Sorry I don't have any pens, maybe a knife will work?" the killer asked raising the knife.
Liberty jumped again as another clash of lightning struck a telephone pole. The pole, which had an 87 feet long wire attached to it was flung through a window and landed in the kerosine that Liberty had spilled, causing it ignite.
Liberty screamed.
**Damn, I wasn't expecting this**
Jimmy looked up. He could have sworn he heard someone scream.
"Help me!" Liberty exclaimed. "Somebody help me!"
She was surrounded by the fire. Luckily thought, the killer was trapped behind a wal of fire as well, preventing them from getting to her.
Jimmy exited the lab and sniffed. Smoke?
"Jimmy?" J.T. asked curiously.
"J.T.? What are you doing here?" Jimmy asked.
"I came o stop that story Liberty was writing from being published," J.T. replied.
"So was I," Jimmy replied.
"HELP!" Liberty screamed.
Both J.T. and Jimmy heard this and ran toward the scream.
"You really think this fire will last forever? The spinkler system is already on and there's only one exit, which I'm blocking," the killer spoke.
"You won't get away with anything you've done. Killers always make mistakes," Liberty replied.
"You're right. And my first one was waiting so long to kill you," the killer replied.
Liberty looked around. The fire was dying out. It was only a matter of minutes now......
"It came from over here," Jimmy said turning a corner.
J.T. and Jimmy were both shocked to see Liberty trapped behind a wall of fire. And the killer was with her!
"That's the bastard that killed Hazel!" Jimmy exclaimed.
Liberty watched in horror as the fire blocking the killer from her subsided.
"Okay, that only took what? Two minutes? Time to die," the killer said.
"AHHHHHHHH!" Liberty screamed.
"LIBERTY!" J.T. eclaimed.
The killere looked up to see Jimmy and J.T. racing towards them.
THe killer grabbed Liberty and flung her towards a wall, which she bounced from and fell int the fire. While she was down the killer steeped on the opposites side of the flames that were left and poured more kerosine all around Liberty, burning her.
"AHHHHH!' Liberty exclaimed, burning alive.
Jimmy jumped the killer, knocking them to the ground while J.T. grabbed the knife.
The killer kicked Jimmy off of him. J.T. rushed towards the killer who threw J.T. through the Media Immersion glass window.
Jimmy jumped back up knocking the killer back down from behind. The killer's mask popped off.
"YOU!" Jimmy exclaimed.
The killer grabbed Jimmy's hand and placed in in the fire causing Jimmy to scream in pain. The killer put their mask back on and grabbed their knife.
"See, now you HAVE to die," the killer said, stabbing Jimmy.
Jimmy didn't move. The killer bgan to walk away, forgetting all about J.T.
J.T. stood up and ran over to Jimmy.
"Jimmy..." J.T. said.
"The killer.....it's......it's..........."Jimmy's head fell down to the ground.
J.T. looked up to notice that the killer had come back to finish Jimmy off.
J.T. screamed and ran for it.
*Well, you might be next you little fool**
***********************************************************************
You know what? I didn't want Jimmy to die and I was surpirised you all did. But Liberty, let' just say you all showed her no mercy when it came to voting. I figured since she's so annyoing, she desrved a horrible death. Anyway, the next vote is between just two people, both of which have recieved like no votes. So choose carefully!

"Fine, but if you're not back by 9:00, were calling the cops," Paige said.
Jimmy agreed.
"Well, here goes," he said.

J.T. sat staring at a of Manny.
"Earth to J.T.," Toby said.
J.T. looked up.
"You don't think Manny was a slut do you?" J.T. asked.
"She WAS pregnant at some point. That counts right?" Toby replied.
J.T. got off his bed and looked out the window.
"I think Liberty's dead meat," he sighed.
"What?" Toby asked.
"I tried to warn her," J.T. replied in a moody tone.
"Warn her what?" Toby asked suspiciously.
"Unless," J.T. said suddenly.
He walked over to the chair at his computer and grabbed his jacket.
"J.T. where are you going?" Toby asked.
"To the school. I'll be right back. And whatever you do DON'T tell my parents," J.T. replied.
Toby watched as J.T. left.
J.T. made sure he grabbed an umbrealla. He heard it was supposed to rain.
***********************************************************************
Liberty was still at school typing her article. She wanted it to be perfect. This was after all the biggest story of her career.
She jumped a little at the sound of thunder close by. She stood up and looked at the window.
"Great," Liberty said out loud "Now I' walking home in the rain"
Liberty walked back to her computer and started to type again, when suddenly the lights went out and so did her computer.
Liberty jumped again at another loud clash of thunder.
"No, did I save? Did I save?" Liberty began mummbling to herself.
"Fine," Liberty thought. She'd just have to go find the breaker box.
***********************************
Outside, Jimmy WAS working on trying to get past the security system, but he'd noticed that the door opened automatically. The power must have gone out.
Jimmy stepped inside, soaked, and looked around.
"Liberty!" he exclaimed.
It was woth a shot, a long shot, but still worth it.
He started towards the computer lab
**********************************
Liberty walked towards the Control Room but stopped short when she noticed a dark shadow pass by her quickly.
"What was that?" she thought. "Stop it, you're being paranoid."
Liberty opened the door and found a keresol can. She'd have to use this to light the gas lamps back at th lab.
Liberty picked up the can but dropped it's contents everywhere after another loud clash made her jump.
"NO!" LIberty exclaimed.
********************************
J.T. entered the school and looked around. No pwer.
********************************
Jimmy enetered the computer lab and looked around. Where was the story?
Liberty bent down to try to clean up her mess but a chill went down her spine when she felt someone standing behind her.
She stood up slowly and turned around
"Why hello there," the killer spoke.
"Ah, who are you?" Liberty asked.
"Oh, I believe you know me very well. You are after all the one writin a piece on the Grapevine on me," the killer replied.
A lump grew in Liberty's throat.
"You're....the killer?" Liberty asked.
"That's me. You wan't an autograpgh? Sorry I don't have any pens, maybe a knife will work?" the killer asked raising the knife.
Liberty jumped again as another clash of lightning struck a telephone pole. The pole, which had an 87 feet long wire attached to it was flung through a window and landed in the kerosine that Liberty had spilled, causing it ignite.
Liberty screamed.
**Damn, I wasn't expecting this**
Jimmy looked up. He could have sworn he heard someone scream.
"Help me!" Liberty exclaimed. "Somebody help me!"
She was surrounded by the fire. Luckily thought, the killer was trapped behind a wal of fire as well, preventing them from getting to her.
Jimmy exited the lab and sniffed. Smoke?
"Jimmy?" J.T. asked curiously.
"J.T.? What are you doing here?" Jimmy asked.
"I came o stop that story Liberty was writing from being published," J.T. replied.
"So was I," Jimmy replied.
"HELP!" Liberty screamed.
Both J.T. and Jimmy heard this and ran toward the scream.
"You really think this fire will last forever? The spinkler system is already on and there's only one exit, which I'm blocking," the killer spoke.
"You won't get away with anything you've done. Killers always make mistakes," Liberty replied.
"You're right. And my first one was waiting so long to kill you," the killer replied.
Liberty looked around. The fire was dying out. It was only a matter of minutes now......
"It came from over here," Jimmy said turning a corner.
J.T. and Jimmy were both shocked to see Liberty trapped behind a wall of fire. And the killer was with her!
"That's the bastard that killed Hazel!" Jimmy exclaimed.
Liberty watched in horror as the fire blocking the killer from her subsided.
"Okay, that only took what? Two minutes? Time to die," the killer said.
"AHHHHHHHH!" Liberty screamed.
"LIBERTY!" J.T. eclaimed.
The killere looked up to see Jimmy and J.T. racing towards them.
THe killer grabbed Liberty and flung her towards a wall, which she bounced from and fell int the fire. While she was down the killer steeped on the opposites side of the flames that were left and poured more kerosine all around Liberty, burning her.
"AHHHHH!' Liberty exclaimed, burning alive.
Jimmy jumped the killer, knocking them to the ground while J.T. grabbed the knife.
The killer kicked Jimmy off of him. J.T. rushed towards the killer who threw J.T. through the Media Immersion glass window.
Jimmy jumped back up knocking the killer back down from behind. The killer's mask popped off.
"YOU!" Jimmy exclaimed.
The killer grabbed Jimmy's hand and placed in in the fire causing Jimmy to scream in pain. The killer put their mask back on and grabbed their knife.
"See, now you HAVE to die," the killer said, stabbing Jimmy.
Jimmy didn't move. The killer bgan to walk away, forgetting all about J.T.
J.T. stood up and ran over to Jimmy.
"Jimmy..." J.T. said.
"The killer.....it's......it's..........."Jimmy's head fell down to the ground.
J.T. looked up to notice that the killer had come back to finish Jimmy off.
J.T. screamed and ran for it.
*Well, you might be next you little fool**
