Chapter Three: Blood On Your Hands
The next day, the rest of the gang, which consisted of only Eric, Donna, Kelso, and Fez, were all in the basement. "Where are Jackie and Hyde?" Kelso asked. "Yeah, where are they?" Donna wondered.
"Last time I saw them, they were here." Eric replied. "I have not seen them since last night." Fez said. That's when Maribeth came in. "Hey guys." She chirped. She looked as happy as could be.
"Hey have you seen Jackie and Hyde?" Kelso asked her. "No." the young blond said quickly. Eric looked at her angrilly. "Why'd you answer so fast?" "Lucky…guess?" Maribeth smiled. "I think you HAVE seen them!" Eric accused.
"Wha? I have not!" Maribeth insisted. "Eric, will you leave Maribeth alone?" Fez frowned. "You're being a jerk again!" Donna shouted.
"Donna, I" "Eric, shut up. You've been accusing her all week, now leave her alone!" Donna said. Maribeth made a sad face, "I'm sorry, Eric, but I haven't seen them." "Whatever." Eric huffed.
He walked upstairs in anger. Donna threw a book at him as he walked up. "Ass." She muttered. "I'm sorry. This is all my fault." She whimpered. Donna smiled sadly. "It's okay, Eric's always a jerk." She said. Kelso scratched his head in a daze. "If Hyde and Jackie aren't here then where are they?" he pondered. Donna gave him a dumb look, "How the hell are we supposed to know?"
"I wish I didn't cause so much trouble." Maribeth sighed. "It's all right, Maribeth!" Donna assured. She noticed something red on Maribeth's hands. "Whats that?" Donna asked. "Oh, um, uh, nothing?" Maribeth hid her hands behind her back and ran out.
"Maybe there is something up with her," Fez suggested. "She is acting awfully strange." "Fez, don't be rediculous!" Kelso laughed. "That looked a lot like blood." Donna pointed out. "What if she killed Jackie and Hyde?" Fez started to shiver. "She didn't. She couldn't." Donna said. I hope.
Meanwhile, Eric was sitting in his room. He was looking out the window. Maribeth had run out of the room swiftly. She looked guilty of something. Curious now, Eric went downstairs.
"What was that about?" he asked. "Maribeth is starting to creep me out." Donna said. "Really? I think she's hot." Kelso smirked. Eric smacked him in the back of the head.
Maribeth had morphed into her beast form, and was watching the teens from an unseen window. So they think it's not me still? But the redhead and Eric think I am the killer. I gotta watch them. But now I'm kind of anxious to kill…hmm…who to murder now? She thought intensively. After a moment, she had her next death selected.
Maribeth waited until late that evening to climb into a tree, waiting for someone to come out of the basement. She was in ready-mode, prepared to pounce. The first to come out was Kelso. Maribeth extended her claws and snarled a bit.
Kelso, the unsuspecting victim, was simply walking, enjoying the breeze in the mid-evening air. He had no clue that Maribeth was about to make her kill. Soon enough, he was whipped to the ground.
All he saw was a blur of black and red. He screamed in fright and pain as he felt the worst pain in his life. Maribeth took her massive daggersharp teeth and bit into Kelso's stomach, ripping his flesh and devouring his muscles. Kelso balled his fists up and whacked her head roughly, but was no match compared to Maribeth's assult.
Maribeth pulled back and released the boy, giving him a moment to see straight. Maribeth loved doing that with victims. That way they could see what was eating them alive. It was amusing to hear Kelso scream in terror and see the look of fear in his eyes.
Kelso backed into a tree and held his gushing wound. Maribeth approached him, oh so slowly. "N-n-no, p-please don't h-h-h-hurt me…" Kelso begged. Maribeth ignored his please and stretched her jaw out wide.
"No, go away, no, no, NOO!" Kelso shrieked. Maribeth brought her jaws down hard on Kelso's chest, breaking his chestbone along with a good portion of his colarbone. Kelso kept screaming and fighting for life, but was unsuccessful.
Eric, Donna, and Fez heard the screams and went to investigate. Eric told his two friends to stay back while he checked. Eric go there right in time to see Maribeth, in human form, standing above her prey with a victorious smile on her face. She noticed Eric and her smile faded.
"E-E-Eric? Uh, um, uh uh, bye!" she took off running into the shadows. "HEY! Come back here!" Eric yelled. He grimaced when he saw Kelso's half eaten carcas. "What is it, Eric?" Donna asked. She saw Kelso's body and gasped. "What the hell!" she shouted.
"Donna, it was Maribeth!" Eric said. "Eric, will you stop with the crap! Kelso has been killed here!" Fez yelled, now becoming irritated with Eric's rediculous theory. "But, but, I'm serious! You have got to believe me, MARIBETH DID THIS!" Eric insisted.
"You know what Eric, I think YOU did it." Donna said. "What! I'd never kill anyone!" Eric gawked. "Eric, it is starting to sound like you did murder them all." Fez stated. "What! Fez, now you're turning against me?" Eric asked.
"I think we should lock him in a room and see if anyone dies." Donna said with a smirk. "Yes, I agree." Fez nodded. "No, I'm serious, that is NOT a good idea!" Eric yelled.
