Chapter Four: Among Strange Company
Madison stared up at the house in front of her, slightly shocked at it's size. It was about half the size of her house, and was covered in various plant growth. "Where are we?" Madison aske Dave as he pulled her bags from the trunk, as well as his bike. "Home." he said. There was sudden howling, and out of the bushes came a vicous looking wolf. Madison screamed, unitl it it started licking Dave's hand. "Don't worry bout Xanta, he's harmless unless you hit him first." Dave said as he scratched the wolf's head. Madison relaxed, and reached out to pet him. The front door of the house banged open to reveal a man dressed in red. Dave grinned. "Hey, uncle Jason." he called. Jason looked down, and front filpped down the stairs.
"Is this your girl?" he asked as Xanta ran up to him and started jumping around him. "Yeah. I'm Madison." she said, holding out her hand. Jason shook it. "You got a good grip there, Madison." he commented as a samurai walked out onto the roof. "Yo, Justin, what the hell are ya doin?" Dave called up. Justin ignored him, and belly flopped onto a trampoline. bouncing about twenty feet in the air, and landing on the ground with a massive thud. Madison winced. "You been watchin Viva La Bam again?" Jason asked. Justin nodded weakly as he climbed to his feet. Dave rolled his eyes and slapped Justin across the back, making him fall again.
"C'mon, you gotta meet the rest of the crew." Dave said as he walked into the house. Madison followed, while Jason picked Justin up in a fireman's carry and brought him. Sitting on an old couch was an islander, who by the looks of him, loved gambling. He had his ear pireced, and dangling from it was a die. "Yo, Anthony, shot anything good lately." Dave said as he the two grasped eachother's forearms. He shook his head. "Nah, Derak took all my guns after I shot im in the ass with a tranq dart." Anthony said dismissively. The other person in the room looked up at the mention of his name. "Nice to see you again, Dave." he said as he bowed. "Who is this lovely young lady?" he asked curiously. "I'm Madison. Dave's girlfriend." she said as she bowed in return. Anthony looked at her, then at Dave. "Hm, I guess you do have good taste in women." he said, which made Dave slug him as hard as he could. Anthony spat a tooth out, and began feeling where the tooth had been. "Huh. There goes the last of my baby teeth." he said. Dave rolled his eyes and went upstairs, Madioson in tow.
Madison looked around the room they had just entered. It looked kinda wierd. In one corner of the room there was a half pipe which was about four feet tall, with blankets and stuff inside it. In another part of the room, there was what appeared to be a wrestling arena, and there were weapons hanging all over the walls. And finally, the closet. It was expanded to be a recording studio, with the other rooms all connected to it so everyone had access to it. "This is your room? I'm impressed." she said as she dropped her bag on the ground and looked around. "Yeah, just try not to get in the ring. It's still broken from when we had our battle royale." he said as set the rest of her stuff down. "Was that every one down stairs?" she asked. "Nah. You'll meet the rest at dinner, I should think. If they're all here." he said as he pulled off his leather jacket. He had been sweating profusely, so his shirt clung to his body. Madison couldn't help but stare. Dave noticed and grinned. "Like what you see?" he teased as he pulled his shirt off.
Madison grinned in reutrn and pulled her shirt off as well. "Dunno, hwo about you?" she asked flirtasouly. "Yeah, I'm lovin it, why do you ask?" he whispered as he pulled her against him, staring into her brown eyes. She blinked in surprise, then pulled his head down and kissed him. Dave picked her up, as her legs automatically wrapped around his waist, and walked toward the half pipe, which he obvously slept in. As the pair laid down and began to engage their tongues, the door opened and in walked Trini. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING IN HERE?" she screamed, making them jump. Madison jumped up, grabbed her shirt, pulled it on and ran out. "Dammit Trin, I was about tongue kiss her!" Dave yelled. This was doing nothing for his hormones.
Downstairs Madison bumped into a blonde girl about Trini's age. "Hello." she said, with an accent remiscent of Xander. "I'm Ctaherine, but you can call me Cat." she said warmly. "I'm Madison." she replied, shaking hands with the girl. "Oh, so you're Dave's new girl." she said. "Why is every one so surprised when I say that?" she asked, thoroughyl confused. "Well, Dave doesn't date that often. His last girlfriend was an independant musician. She still visits from time to time, and also sings on the record lable." Catherine explained. Madison nodded. She stared at a picture hanging above the fire place. In it was Dave leaning against the wall, looking like he wanted to kill someone, Ian sitting on the ground in a yoga positon, Derak breathing fire, Anthony tossing some dice up and down, and Justin raising a glass of sake in a toast. In the backround was the ruins of several cars and such. "When was that taken?" she asked, pointing. "Huh? Oh, that. That was after Justin won a demolition derby." Catherine said as they walked into the kitchen.
Catherine opened the door and pulled out a bottle of carona. "You want something to drink?" she asked. "As long as it's not alcohol." Madison said. "Why?" Catherine asked. "Cuz when I drink I turn into a slut." she explained. "I'm pretty sure my brother wouldn't mind, Maddie." Ashlee said as she came in dressed in a hot pink bikini. "Girl, don't you have anything else to wear?" Trini asked as she followed. Ashlee shrugged. "Ian seems to like it." she commented. "Yeah, well he ain't had a good lay in awhile, sis." Dave said as he walked in the room, clad in a pair of black cargo shorts and nothing else. "Don't you wear anything other than black?" Madison asked. "Hell no. Never know when I gotta go to a funeral." Dave said as he leaned against the counter. "Now what wouldn't I mind?" he asked. "If Maddie here got drunk and acted like a slut." Ashlee said bluntly. "The fuck I wouldn't!" he said, looking highly offended. "I prefer my women sober." with that being said, he jumped out the window and into a pool, where he was joined by Xanta.
Madison looked at Ashlee. "Do you have to be so blunt?" she asked exasperatedly. "Yeah. I always cut to the chase, don't you know that?" Ashlee said as she opened the fridge and grabbed a beer as well. "Mom would kill you if she saw you drink." Trini told her. "Well then I'd say it's a good thing she isn't here then." Ashlle replied as she cracked it open. There were the sounds of a motor cycle pulling up outside, followed by Dave letting out a whoop of excitement. "Whassup, Trent?" he yelled from the pool.
Trent looked down at him as he hualed himself out of the pool, Xanta close behind him. "When did you get back?" he asked Dave. "Few hours ago. Where's Kira?" Dave askeed as he flipped his hair back. "She'll be here tommorow. She's got a concert tonight. Heard you got a new girl." Trent said as he tossed dave a towel. "News travels fast among the old gang, don't it?" he grunted. Trent laughed and nodded. Inside Madison looked at Ashlee. "How many people did you tell about me?" she asked, slightly panicked. "Just Catherine here. Not my fualt she told every other female member of the gang." she said with a shrug. They watched amused as Dave threw Trent in the pool, Xanta barking joyfully. Trent resurrfaced and grabbed dave's ankle, pulling him as well.
In Briarwood, the police were swarming around the Rocca mansion, trying to figure out what the hell happened. "I was coming up the stairs..and I saw that horrid boy stabbing Paul, then spit on him." Mrs. Rocca sobbed to an ever patient Vida. "Can we check the video survailance systems?" Vida asked. "They were shut down before all this happened, Vida. After he killed Paul, he shot me with a stun gun, and kidnapped your sister!" she wailed at top volume. Another officer tapped Vida on the shoulder and whispered something in her ear. "I'll be right back, mom, I have to check something." she told her hysterical mother, like she'd ever hear her anyway.
As she stepped into Madison's room, she noticed one thign right away: the bed sheets were turned down, as if she had just ripped them from the bed. That wasn't like her sister at all; she had to have everything organized and in its proper place. Then she saw what they had wanted to show her: there were ropes tied to each bed post, and there were large spots of semen. "I want semen sample taken to the lab immediatly." she ordered, knowing that if her sister was gonna fuck some one, they would do it outside the house. That meant one thing: she ahd been raped. By who was the question, and shge intended to have it answered by the time the night was out. No one raped her baby sister and got away with it.
Back at Dave's house, the whole group was standing outside, enjoying some of Justin's awesome bar-b-que. Jason and Trini watched how Dave and Madison interacted, noticing the extremely high level of sexual frustration that was ever present. Jason grinned at his girl friend, who nodded. He stood up, and banged the serving fork on the grill, effectively getting everyone's attention. "Okay, Trini and I have an announcement to make." he began. "Your fuckin in the pool every night? We already knew that!" Justin yelled, and got slugged across the face by every female in the vicinty. "No, you dick, we're engaged." Jason said, a bit perturbed that Justin would say something like that. Everyone began clapping and congratulating the two, except Dave, who pulled Jason aside. "If you hurt my sister, I will hunt you down, cut your dick off, and force feed it to you. Savvy?" he asked so only Jason could hear him. Despite being a hell of a lot stronger and more skilled than Dave, Jason nodded.
Later that night, Madison was taking a shower, thinking of everything that had happened over the past few days. It all started when she saw Dave throw some dude out of the club. As she turned the water on, she failed to notice that some one had entered until she heard the toilette flush. "Who's out there?" she yelled. "Yo mama." she heard Dave say sarcastically. "God, I hope not.." she said aloud. Dave laughed as he left the room. As Madison finished drying herself off, she got dressed and went into Dave's room, where it was understood that she would be staying. Upon entry, she saw Dave working out like he had been a few nights ago when she had her little...accident. He stopped when he heard the door close. Turning toward her, he was slightly shocked when she wordlessly pulled her shirt off and walked over to him. "Wanna finish what we started, big boy?" she asked in a low, sultry voice. He nodded and they started again. This time, they were interrupted by Justin and Anthony busting the door down and snapping pictures. Let's just say that Dave was tied to a chair to stop him from killing them. Madison sighed. Would they ever get to finish making out? By the way things were going, probably not.
"Hey, guys, you might wanna see this!" Derak called from the living room where he was watching the news. They all trouoped in, to see Paul's face on the screen "In recent news, Paul Gincarlo was brutally murdered at the home of his furture wife Madison Rocca, who was kidnapped by the murderer after he raped her. Police have no leads at this point, but are refusing to give up." They all stared at Dave. "You killed him?" Justin asked quietly. He may be a total goof ball, but when it came to death, he was serious as stone. "No, I did." Madison said. She then told the tale of what happened. "So that's why you're here with Dave." Jason said as he rubbed his chin. "Yeah. And now that bitch I call my mtother is blaming him for kidnapping me. I'm surprised she didn't give them a full desciption of you, Dave." she said bitterly. Dave sighed.
"You have to go back." he said quietly. Every one in the room stared at him like he was crazy. "What? Why?" she cried . "So your mom'll stop worrying about you. I know it don't seem like it, but she does love you.. You need to go back." he explained. "Can we talk about this in private?" she asked. He nodded, and the two went out on the porch. "He must really like her." Trent commented. Kira shook her head. "No. He loves her." she corrected. "That explains a lot.." Ian muttered.
Out on the porch, the air was so thick with tension that Dave could've cut it with the knife in his boot. "Look, I'll be coming back soon, too, okay?" he said desperately. "Promise?" she said looking into those emerald orbs she had grown to love. He nodded. "I swear on my honor." he whispered as he hugged her. As she pulled away in the car she had brought here, he whispered something, and his words were swept away in the wind. Whatever it was, she heard it and whispered the same thing. Dave looked up at the full moon, and went back inside, ignoring the looks he got. As he shut the door to his room, he wound back and dealt a devastating haymaker to his punching bag, damn near breaking it in half.
As Madison roared down the road, she thought about what he had said. 'She loves me? Ha. I'll belive that when I see it.' she thought as she saw the exit sign for Briarwood and changed lanes. Glancing in her rear view mirror, she saw a car following her. "Bad idea.." she said in a low, dangerous tone. She floored the accelerator and pulled into a powerslide, shooting around the curve at about seventy miles per hour. A sign flashed by that said 'Briarwood-city limits' She sighed, and changed lanes. As she pulled into her driveway, she couldn't help but feel a little scared. How did one deal with this kind of situation? It didn;t matter, she had to face her mother sooner or later.
