The Horror of Popularity
A. Nonymous: Glad you found it intense and while I won't finish it by the 14th of December. It will be done by the 17th of December.
L.C.Techno: Yes Timmy is rather disillusioned and does need to come to his senses. Is he past redemption? Let's see. Ian's Dad regrets what he's done but Ian's likely to not care since it's already done and his life already ruined or at least severely disrupted.
Chapter 14: No Redemption
(At the Hospital)
Timmy continued to throw up. He was now crying as well and tears and vomit fell freely into the toilet.
"YOU!" a voice cried furiously as a door burst opened and someone stepped inside the bathroom.
Timmy continued as before without noticing that someone else had entered the bathroom. His head was swimming, his belly was aching and he felt aches all over. He had no idea what was wrong with as the vomiting finally started to lessen, but if he was dying he didn't fear it. He welcomed it.
"Timmy Turner," a voice snarled from behind him and Timmy turned around slowly after the vomiting stopped.
Timmy's eyes nearly bulged out of his head. Standing right there behind with a face filled with anger and hatred was Tootie's Dad.
"What did you do to my daughter?" Tootie's Dad asked between clenched teeth.
"Nothing," Timmy responded with a hoarse voice, "she died in a coma," Timmy told him, "honest," he added desperately.
"He's telling the truth," Vicky said suddenly from the bathroom entrance, "the doctor just told us Dad," she told him, "go comfort Mom," she instructed softly, "NOW!" she shouted angrily when he didn't immediately obey and he hurried out of the bathroom and her sight.
"Timmy Turner," Vicky said in a slurred voice and laughed openly, "Timmy, Timmy, Timmy, Timmy, Timmy, Timmy, Timmy, Timmy the GREAT HERO Turner," she said with a laugh and moved closer to him.
"Are you going to kill me?" Timmy asked in an emotionless voice that surprised him.
"Why would I WANT to do THAT?" Vicky hissed, "when you're better off living a life of loneliness and suffering in my eyes," she said with a sadistic grin, "but tell me though Timmy," she continued, "honestly now," she added with a smile, "did you kill her?" she asked her face now serious and dark.
"No Vicky I swear," Timmy said more firmly and shook his head, "I love her and I'd …." He continued but Vicky cut her off.
"Love does not make people make other people prisoners," Vicky told him, "you forced her to stay in the house," she said, "didn't you?" she snarled her eyes growing small.
"Yes," Timmy admitted and started to cry, "she said that she'd 'run away and I'd never see her again,'" he told her between sobs, "so I always had her in the company of agents whenever she left the house and usually forced her to stay in my company too," he continued, "I'm sorry," he said finally.
"Apology not accepted," Vicky said coldly, "but I need to know," she said as she turned to leave, "were you on the property the night the kids were murdered?" she asked frankly and Timmy nodded, "just needed to know," she said simply and left him alone in the bathroom.
Timmy looked at the floor in shame. Not even Vicky would explode on him. She was just like his parents, collected in their emotions but she was less cold and more hateful. He really wished that he could flush himself down the toilet bowl.
"So it's true," a girl said suddenly and looked up to see a girl standing there glaring at him, "you were on the property that night and did nothing," she said shaking with anger, "I should kill you," she snarled she said and Timmy noticed another girl looking just like the angry one shaking and crying from behind (the angry girl).
"Mandy?" Timmy asked looking at the crying girl who let out a cry and fled the bathroom, "Wait!" he cried and started to go after her.
"Stay away from my sister!" Heidi cried angrily and pushed him down, "I'm glad she now sees you for what you are," she said, "a murderer," she said with scorn and left the bathroom.
Timmy sat there unable to move. Everything seemed to be falling all around him and he didn't know when next the falling debris; which used to be his normal or at least comfortable life, would hit him in the face and his blackened yet still red on the inside heart.
(Meanwhile at Dark Manor)
Britney sat on the floor sobbing. Every time she tried to escape the property something bad happened. She no longer had her powers. She knew that for sure a week after that 'binding ritual' those undead children performed on her right after they caught her the night that Lorna had returned.
To make things worse some of the dead children's spirits haunted her. After the sneak attack and murder set upon the elite popular children, only a few of them crossed over. Those that didn't either got caught in some curse from the barn or just not allowed to cross over yet for reasons uncertain. And they hated her for it.
They also hated Timmy Turner. The spirits of the elite popular children who haunted and mocked her all over the property. They were confined to the property and couldn't go beyond it. Otherwise Britney would probably be haunted a bit less. Timmy was also someone who flitted in and out of Britney's mind. He had gotten away with what she didn't. Making innocent people die and suffer. Well suffer and die or continue to suffer actually. He had made the knowledge of a witch openly known and had helped in getting the kids killed.
"Britney!" voices started to yell in all directions and soon Britney covered her ears and screamed as the voices reached such a shrill level that her ears started to bleed.
(Years Later on Timmy's Seventeenth Birthday)
"Happy Birthday Timmy!" the citizens cried as he stood in front of City Hall blowing out the candles on his Birthday Cake, "We Love You!" they cried.
"I Love you too Dimmsdale!" Timmy cried happily in response.
"Yet another birthday for our Hero," the Mayor cheered, "Timmy has helped made our city rich and prosperous," he declared, "despite us being nicknamed 'Death City' we've been able to pull in great collateral and become one of the richest cities in this area," he continued, "we've been able to knock down abandoned homes and make hotels and apartment buildings to house tourists who want to see the city where the cursed children lived before they died at Dark Manor," he continued, "if it weren't for Timmy we'd be the plain City that we were before," he stated, "who'd want?"
"I would," someone said from behind the Mayor suddenly and a gun was heard cocking, "don't move," the female said coldly, "Timmy and the Mayor enter City Hall," she instructed, "NOW!" she cried angrily and fired a shot in the air and Timmy and the Mayor covered their heads in fear.
Then the Mayor and Timmy had to enter City Hall with the small girl who had her hair covered by a red cap and also wore a pink shirt, blue cotton shorts and black sneakers with black bobby socks along with of course a black pistol.
"Take us to the top floor," the girl instructed an agent who's face was stiff and his hand not far from his gun as he itched for the opportunity to shoot her, "and don't think about trying to shoot me," she continued, "I'll kill the Mayor first then you'll only have the hero boy here to worry about," she told him.
The Agent did as she said and soon they were on the top floor. Suddenly there was a gunshot and the agent was soon on the ground dead with a huge bullet hole through his stomach.
Soon from behind the shadows came Mandy.
"Mandy?" Timmy asked surprise but Mandy quickly kicked him in the face so hard he spat blood.
"Don't you dare talk to me?" Mandy hissed and held her rifle at his head.
"I'll deal with the Mayor," the other girl said simply and pushed the Mayor into a nearby room and soon there were gunshots heard until the gun was out of bullets.
"Mayor!" Timmy cried and tried to run to the door but Mandy tripped Timmy with the rifle and hit Timmy hard into the back with it.
The other girl soon exited the room and grinned at Timmy when he glared at her.
Suddenly she took off her glasses and cap and Timmy gasped.
"I'm Whitney," Whitney said simply, "and my eyes are pink and hair green because I am Cosmo and Wanda's child," she assured him, "my parents have no idea I'm here of course," she said with a laugh, "but what they don't know wont hurt them," she said with a grin, "now I'll take you to your fate," she said simply and suddenly they disappeared.
Minutes after they disappeared the Mayor peeked out and noticed no one was there. He was still freaked out over the fact that the girl had emptied out the bullets into the sofa and bookcase. He sighed then hurried to tell the agents that the kidnappers had left him but took Timmy.
(10 Minutes Later at another Location)
"Keep walking," Mandy snapped and kicked Timmy when he tried to stop yet again.
"What happened to you Mandy?" Timmy asked urgently, "how come you don't look any older than you did when you first went to Dark Manor?" he asked.
"The gas caused her and her sister to be stuck like that forever," Whitney told him and he gasped in horror, "they were experimented on when they were younger and it caused the gas not to harm them as much but for some reason unlike Ian who survived, it seems that they being experimented earlier caused the gas to stunt their growth and physical development," she continued, "and yes Ian survived," she said before Timmy asked, "but he'll never walk again and can't go out into the sun," she stated, "he's taken up by photography now at least," she added as if that was a form of comfort.
"I'm sorry Mandy," Timmy said softly, "I really…."
"I don't care!" Mandy screamed and kicked him in the back but he didn't fall down because she held tightly onto the rope, which tied his hands behind his back.
"I can't even see where we're going," Timmy protested five minutes later, "do you have to carry me this far when you killed the Mayor right in his office?" he asked.
"Must hurt you that I killed him, huh?" Whitney asked then laughed.
"You monster!" Timmy cried and attacked her before Mandy could stop him.
Whitney shrieked as Timmy jumped her and didn't remember that she had magic before Timmy punched her three times in the face.
"Get off!" Mandy cried and was finally able to pull him off of Whitney then hit him hard over the head with the rifle.
"I'd kill you myself it I wasn't a murderer," Whitney raged as she got up and continued to walk ahead of them and Mandy forced Timmy to follow.
Soon they came to a graveled pathway with lost of tall grass growing at the sides. Suddenly Whitney stopped walking and Mandy cut Timmy loose.
"Walk," Whitney ordered and pointed at the path which Timmy could barely see in the pitch blackness, "walk or I'll shoot you in the legs and leave you for the dogs after I drive sharp stones through your hands," she snarled.
"How old are you?" Timmy demanded.
"I'll be six in four months," Whitney told him, "I'm very bright so I'm not like your typical little girl," she continued, "plus I had Jorgen teach me combat from when I was three," she said proudly, "now walk," she said more firmly.
Timmy gave a desperate glance at Mandy but she only looked at him hatefully. He bowed his head and started the long trek up the path.
(One Hour and a Half Later)
Timmy panted as he neared the top, but the sight of something visible made him stop cold. He saw the Barn.
Oh no. This must be Dark Manor! (Timmy's thoughts)
Suddenly the barn door flew upon and loud screams and wails were heard. Timmy's screams were heard as well. As well while some invisible force grabbed his legs and dragged him wiggling and screaming into the barn. Then the barn doors closed and all that was heard beyond the door (on the outside) was silence.
Done.
Just to let you know.
1- Dimmsdale has now become known as a place where kids were taken to dark Manor and murdered. Despite the fact that this has been denied the general public believed this. Most of the original citizens of Dimmsdale moved away along with Timmy's parents. Timmy's been living with the Mayor mostly since Tootie's death. Dimmsdale is now a commercial place of horror instead of the simple dull place that it used to be. Most people moved away because of that and their homes were knocked down and apartments built to house tourists because they were practically no long staying visitors. Despite Dimmsdale riches the City is looked down on now and most citizens now don't bother to move because when they visit other places they're treated like they're cursed. They continue to worship Timmy mainly as a form of rebellion to those who scorn them or because they don't want to get on bad terms with others (joke is that since they never ask who really likes Timmy they never know who really does and most of the adoration now is fake).
2- Read the next chapter when it comes if you're curious if Timmy's really changed after the events of chapter 13.
