N/A Still nothing…

Beautiful Nightmare

Chapter 6- Attempted Murder

"I told you one day I would come back for you, and now I am!" Ryan climbed towards the room and looked through the glass window and netting that covered May's window shop. His reflection was most visible on the window, but when he focused in with his eyes into the room he could see Salene and May, huddled into each other's arms and nodding off into a long needed sleep. He couldn't even grasp the emotion of jealousy before he breathed faster and faster until he had beaten his fist right into his reflection. The glass had cracked and May and Salene were awoken suddenly, but when they looked to the window to see the crack, whatever was there to cause it had now been deceased to exist.

"We should go check out what it was." Salene said standing up.

"It probably was Sammy and Mouse playing, please I'm cold without you." Salene turned and smiled to May who had her hands reaching out to Salene. She laughed and both huddled back into one another's arms.

Ryan crashed and clanged his way to the auto shop garage where he sat in his favorite truck. Inhaling he mustered enough calm to at least nurse his wound before attempting any more suffering from the cheating wife.

"How could she do this to me?"

"Were we not lovers?"

"Why did that bitch steal her away?"

The thoughts did not end there. By the time the bleeding from his hand had stopped his once innocent face turned into a dark cloud. His love for Salene had flashed before his eyes and all that was left was a jealousy of hurt and a thirst for revenge. Robot like he moved his cold body out of the truck, as he looked off into the distant for a while he then stared down to see his hand. Sucking on the dried blood stains from his knuckles he noticed something in the distance on the workbench shelves. He curled his lips and softly smiled

"The bitch is going to die."

May's eyes drooped open and close. Was she coming out of sleep or into it she didn't know? All was black and then this fade out into light occurs, and she sees Ryan with a baseball bat and raising it to smash her. He seems happy and with ample force drops the bat.

May screams and abruptly pulls herself up shaking Salene off of her and allowing Salene's body to hit right to the ground.

"OW!" Salene rubs her elbow and back.

"I am so sorry." May replies sheepishly and offers a hand to help Salene back onto the bed.

"What did I do to deserve that?" Salene stood up and pulled her lollipop red hair behind her ear.

"I had a nightmare."

"Oh sounds scary, especially if you had to push me off the bed!"

Salene giggled and poked May in the ribs which made her slightly smile. May poked Salene back, and then the two began to have a complete giggle fit. To have the time of their life was one thing, but what they didn't know was that they were being watched. Beyond the purple netting, and the cracked window was Ryan. Secretly watching their every happy mood with jealously and a plan of attack, and that plan of attack was hidden behind his back.

Jack scratched his head and then he yawned. He was doing guard duty and he sighed because he wanted to be with Ellie so bad, he crossed over the bridge next to Tai-san's burned out lab and walked through to see Ryan near May's room.

"Oy Ryan?"

Awoken out of his rage Ryan turned around to see the tiny yet muscular Jack near Tai-san's room, and Ryan walked over to him. "Oh it's you Jack how are you doing?"

"I'm fine, but what's the bat for?"

"Oh this, well Ellie said it might be good for me to um." He looked at the bat again. "Um she said it might be good for me to do guard duty."

Jack's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Yeah she said it might regain my happy youth."

"Awesome! I'll see you later mate!" Jack did a hop skip and a jump down the stairs and into Ellie's room.

Ryan unaware of what to do next, he just simply walked down the mall's grand staircase looking towards the place where he once got married. The only thing to keep him company was the sounds of the night, soft giggles of lovers and snores of animals snoring the night away. His eyes were red, his hand was sore and he did not know what to do anymore. He couldn't certainly kill May at this time of night especially with Salene around. His time would come his time for revenge would have to wait. He took comfort in that idea as he huddled himself into a ball. He then let his rage subdued into a depression all he could think of now was…

"What am I doing here anymore?"
