Chapter 7: Ghostly Payback

Ryan made his way back through the house and down to the basement. He didn't want to cause suspicion, so he had to hurry.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The other ghosts stared at Ryan as he passed them. Some of them grinned at him, and the all knew what he had done.

The Torn Prince stopped him in the hall. Putting his hand on Ryan's shoulder, he looked down and snickered under his breath.

"Man, Ryan…" Royce looked up at him and began to laugh.

"So you fucked her, eh?" Royce continued.

Ryan just stared at him.

"Didn't think she'd actually enjoy herself. Thought she'd be screamin' from the pain you cause, rather than the pleasure." He said, patting Ryan on the shoulder.

Ryan gave him a fake grin. Royce was really pissing him off. "Well I'm just full of surprises, now aren't I?"

He forcefully shoved Royce away from him, causing him to almost trip.

"Christ Ryan! Calm the fuck down!" He knew Ryan was angry, and he didn't want to make it worse.

Ryan walked away.

"Geez, what the hell is up his ass?" Royce scratched his head and walked the other way.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"RYAN!!" Dana yelled.

Ryan turned around. *What the hell does she want now?!* He thought.

"What the hell were you thinking?! Why did you do that?! You… Why her?" she cried. She felt like dropping to her knees and bawling her eyes out.

Ryan looked at her, disgusted by the way she was acting.

"Dana, get it through your thick head! I'm NEVER going to like you! You make me sick!" He turned away from her.

"But… Ryan, I…" she quietly sobbed.

"I don't want to hear your shit anymore Dana! Don't ever speak to me! Your worthless to me!" Ryan yelled.

Everything he said finally sank in. Tears started to flow fro m her eyes. Dana turned around and dashed up the stairs, unable to stop herself from crying.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Iris' eyes fluttered open after being asleep for a couple of hours. It had been a long night.

She yawned and sat up. The slight soreness between her legs proving her earlier actions were not a dream.

She sighed. "I've never felt this pleased before. I think I should go find Ryan." she said, smiling to herself.

She stood up out of bed and got some clean clothes out of her bag. She then searched around for the ghost glasses, which had ended up on the floor. She hummed to herself the entire time.

After she was finished, she headed downstairs.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Iris walked all through the house, toward the basement. She figured that's where he was.

She suddenly stopped as her stomach growled. She hadn't eatin' much in the past few days.

She rubbed her belly. "I suppose I ought to have breakfast before I go find him." she said to herself.

She went into the kitchen, which was close by and looked into the fridge.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Dana cried loudly as she continually slashes herself with her knife.

"R-Ryan…" It was hard for her to talk. She couldn't control the sobs coming out.

"W-w-why not m-me? W-why does t-this have to happen to m-me?" she dug her knife deep into her wrist again, bring what blood she had to the surface.

She kept crying until she heard a faint voice. It sounded like someone was singing. She quickly spun around and peered through the glass, spotting Iris.

All Dana's tears stopped and sadness was replaced with intense anger.

Then she started to laugh. Laughing maniacally like a person in a nut house.

"Yes.. Haha.." she kept laughing. "I'm going to kill Iris right now… Hahaha… then when Ryan finds out, he'll blame it on himself and will come crawling back to me! HAHAHA!"

Dana dashed over toward the kitchen, carefully so Iris wouldn't hear her.

She out her hands on the edge of the door way and looked at Iris, smiling sadistically at her.

Dana noticed Iris was wearing the special glasses and cursed at herself. Now her task was slightly more difficult.

She crept in quietly, hoping Iris wouldn't turn around.

Iris continued to stir the eggs in a bowl. She was so consumed in her own happiness, she never suspected Dana at all.

Dana finally came close enough, and lunged at Iris. Dana grabbed her around the throat, causing the bowl Iris was holding to drop out of her hands and shattered on the floor.

"What the fuck?!!" Iris said as she started to panic. She struggled, but Dana's grip on her held fast.

Iris struggled so much that the ghost glasses were knocked off her face.

Iris ceased her struggle when she felt the cold, steel knife pressed against her throat. She knew who it was.

"That's right! Shut the fuck up you ignorant slut!" Dana said, digging her nails into Iris' shoulder.

"Please don't! I… I…" Iris begged. She was so scared she couldn't cry at all. She didn't even finish her sentence as Dana pressed the knife harder against her neck, just barely breaking the skin.

"I told you to shut up, bitch!! I'm gonna make you pay for taking Ryan away from me!" She laughed insanely . "I'll chop you up into fucking pieces as your punishment! But first, I'll have to slit your throat so no one can hear you scream!!"

Then Dana glanced up at the stove. She smiled as an idea a little more worthy for Iris' payback came to mind.

Dana released her free hand from Iris' shoulder and reached out, turning one of the burners on all the way…

To be continued….
