Under the Falling Moon by Bonez Chapter 13
"Well, don't you like him? He's gunna be your dad after all......" Squee said as Jenny looked up at him and sighed. "I dunno, at times I do, but then I see how mean he is to mommy and I get all mad. He's nice to me, but he beats up my momma and they don't think I know 'bout it, but I do."
Lying down drawing pictures, Squee and Jenny had spent most the day together out in her yard. Squee looked down at his blue crayon-drew stick figure sadly. "My mom doesn't even know I exist......I try to talk to her and she tells me to go take some pills. I don't even like pills! And my daddy's always mad at me, yelling about how I "ruined his life" and all......Shmee's the only friend I have. He's been there through everything: the aliens, the looney house, the crazy neighbor man, the------"
Jenny looked up from her red house drawing. "Hey! I met him! It's that Nny guy right?" Squee nodded and grabbed Shmee closer. "Yeah, that's him. He scares me alot. I think he should've gone to the looney house instead of me, he kills people! It's scary.....-squee-" A grin creeped on Jenny's face as she sat up. "Really!?! Cool!"
"Whuh?" Squee looked up at her opened-mouthed. "Cool!?! It's NOT cool! He's creepy and Shmee says he's a bad man! He kills people!!! -squee- That's NOT cool! That's scary and crazy! -squee-!" Standing up and brushing off her knees, she turned to her neighbor's house. "I think we should go investigate! I wanna see inside his house. After all, I'm tired of drawing stick-figures and playing hula-hoop! Let's do something FUN!"
Todd jumped up and slowly started backing away from Jenny. "Fun? We might get k-k-killed! You're NOT Nancy Drew and this isn't a book!" Seizing his hand, a serious expression crept on her face as she stared at him sternly. "Todd, when are you going to stop being scared all the time? Sure we have a homicidal maniac right next door, and there's murder, kidnapping and anal sex out there, but we don't have to be scared 24/7! You've gotta stand up and not run away! Face your fears, and then even a girl like me won't be braver than you!"
Jenny started walking towards the front door and turned around to face a grief-stricken Squee. "Meet me out in my back yard at 10pm and bring a flashlight. Well, I'm going to eat me some Animal Crackers. Mmmm, yep. Well, bye Todd! See you later tonight!"
Walking in and closing the door, she left a shivering Todd clinging to Shmee for dear life. "-Squee-"

Illana layed down on his carpet and raised one of his knives above her in the light to get a better look at its curved, crimson-stained structure. "So why do you carry these things with you everywhere? Don't you get in trouble with the cops?" Johnny chuckled as he sat down next to her. "The authorities? Hah, you could say that they don't even know I exist. I think there's some force keeping me from getting caught, I couldn't even if I wanted to." Stretching out on the carpet, she gave a small sigh.
"Yeah, I kinda know what it's like to be invisible to the cops. In my case, when I try and call them for help when Jak's in one of his......"moods," they act like there's nothing wrong and I'm delusional. In short, they never come and I wake up sore the next day." A disgusted look crossed his face as he looked dead into her crystal blue eyes. "Next time he lays a hand on you, call me. I swear you won't wake up another morning with bruises anywhere on your body. You can count on that." He said that with such seriousness that she cringed for a moment. Placing the knife down next to her, she curled up and stared at him. "......Thank you. No, really, thank you so much."
Johnny cracked a small smile and looked down at the ground. "......Why are you thanking me? I find ridding the world of people like Jak a job; it's something I was ment to do, I think." Sitting up, Illana placed her finger under his chin and turned his gaze to hers. "Nny, you're not alone anymore. Don't be afraid to be happy, because I want to be happy with you." Taking a deep breath, he could hear Rev. Meat in the back part of his mind: "You're always a slave to something."
Getting up and bouncing to the door, Illana turned around to face Johnny with a wide grin that made his insides melt. "Well, I gotta get back to my house now ok? Have ta take care of my Jenny before asshole gets back. Remember what I said, allrighty? You have a good night Johnny C., and I'll see you tomorrow morning!"
Watching her turn around and open the door, Nny glanced over across the room and saw his knives. He could get them, it wasn't too late. He could save her------preserve her, just like them all. Well, excluding Devi. Yeah, that was bad. Whoo, his head hurt for a month. Like she could read his mind, she stopped one step out the door and stood there for a moment, as if she was waiting for something. As if she expected him to lunge at her, knives in hand, digging the deathly sharp ends into the top of her neck and dragging them down her spinal cord, cutting all the tissue and bones as he drugg them down, blood splattering the grass and front steps. She stood there waiting, and as soon as Johnny snatched his gaze away from those knives and shut his eyes tightly, she slowly started walking to her house and was silent all the way until she was inside her home, greeting Jenny with a wide grin and tight hug.
