I apologize to the author of a particular story (I don't want to say which because it will give my story away) because my idea is similar to something you wrote, but I swear I already had this idea before I read your story. I already had a few chapters published, and so there was no way I could really alter it without the story not making any sense or else having too many loose ends. Also I would like to thank Ari93 for motivating me to set time aside to write
Chapter 6
Delilah woke up the next morning feeling hazy. It had been one hell of a break so far. Funny, she was thinking that before all of this started, but with a way different meaning. "I need some fresh air." She thought aloud. She got up and heard footsteps, then a knocking on her door. Delilah opened the door to be immediately greeted with a kiss from Julius. It was so passionate that she felt like she was going to melt to the floor. She forgot what she was going to do. This was all that mattered in the world, just her and Julius. He then broke the kiss to speak.
"I'm heading over to the kitchen for some breakfast, are you coming?"
"Actually I was going outside."
"We'll I am coming with you, It's dangerous out there. I don't want to lose you, I love you."
"I love you too Julius, let's go."
So they headed outside, only to be shocked. But not as shocked as Scarlett was
Somebody had taken some Christmas lights from the Academy roof that for some reason unknown remained up while all the others came down, like that one house on every street, cut it and threw the open wires into the pool, and tossed Scarlett in there too. Just then a very distinguishable voice came from the intercom above.
"So, have gumdrop and lollypop come to save the day again? Or are they the bad guys this time?"
"What are you talking about?" Delilah asked, bewildered, "And where are you?"
"I can answer both of those questions for you, but in good time."
"Stop playing games! Why are you doing this?" Julius asked.
"I am doing this for revenge baby! And it is not me doing this, it is you."
"We didn't do anything!"
"On the contrary, Dollface, your beloved Dreamboat is the killer."
"Julius would never kill an agent," she turned to Julius, "would you?"
"Of course not, don't listen to him Dee."
"Oh, come on! Don't be so naive." Dismay said, "I know part of you thought it all along. It all points to Julius. The blonde hair in Ursula's hand, the footprint in the kitchen, and the fact that you have no idea where he was for any of the murders, but he just appears just before the body was found."
"I didn't do it! And how do you know all of this?" Julius shouted.
"I have hidden cameras and I stop by once in a while to see how things are going, but that's besides the point. You did kill those agents, except Emmet, that was all me. You see, during one of our previous encounters, I thought it would be fun to plant a microchip in your brain."
"That's not fun, it's sick!" shouted Delilah.
"Shut up! I'm still talking! Anyways, once I was able to make it work, I could set up video and audio devices. Julius didn't remember a thing, it almost felt like he had fallen asleep. I then kept surveillance on the academy to evade capture. It also was kind of entertaining to watch the little love story of yours." They both blushed, "Then, I got a brilliant idea, why not kill all of you, I mean, Julius kill all of you. No longer would my plans be ruined! The world will be mine, ALL MINE! Now, I am going to have your beloved Julius do away with you, I could have done that earlier, but it might have looked suspicious. Besides, this is much more fun. See ya never babies! Oh right, one more thing. Removing the chip from his brain would cause immediate death." The last thing they heard before he turned his mike off was his maniacal laughter echoing throughout the Academy grounds. Julius started heading towards Delilah, only it wasn't really Julius. Delilah tried to run inside, but the doors were locked. She was cornered. He began to attack her, but she didn't fight back, she didn't want to hurt him. She tried reasoning with him.
"Julius, please stop!"
He swung a punch at her and hit her lower jaw.
"Julius! It's me, Delilah!"
He shook his head, "Delilah? What happened? Are you okay, I didn't hurt you did I? I don't know what I'd do-"
"It's okay, I'm fine. A few bruises, nothing major."
They held each other in sweet embrace. After a bit though, Delilah felt his grip becoming tighter and tighter, to the point where she could barely breathe. This isn't Julius anymore she thought as she tried to break free. She had no such luck. Delilah felt as if she was going to pass out any second now.
"Snap out of it!" she said faintly with the little breath she had. "Please, I love you."
She fell to the floor and Julius helped her up.
"Delilah, I am so sorry"
"Don't be, it's not your fault. Let's just hope that it doesn't happen again."
All of a sudden the look on his face changed. He was gone again. He slowly approached her. Out of fear and not knowing what to do, she closed her eyes and kicked blindly, hitting him square in the chest. He fell back and came back up looking back to normal.
"Julius, i-is that you?" she asked cautiously
"Yes it's me and I don't have very long to explain. It seems that I have less and less time as myself, and soon I wont be able to stop until you're dead. I would rather die than kill you. Goodbye Delilah, I will always love you." And with a quick kiss, he sprinted towards the still electrified pool, and dove in.
This chapter was way longer (approx. 300 wrds) than the first time I wrote it (before my comp crashed)
the next chap won't be too long, just long enough to wrap things up and possibly set up for a sequal.
