Hey, I made two chapters in the same night! I shock even myself! Violence and cussing! Isn't that nice? Also, none of these characters are mine except Nikki! Natsume owns the Mineral Town people and Jhonen Vasquez owns the personalities of The Voice and Billy because I'm using the personalities of Nailbunny and Psycho Doughboy from Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.

He tried to scream again, but she pressed her hand harder against his mouth. "Shut up!" she whispered louder, and she twisted the blade inside his guts. He began to choke up blood, and soon his killer's hand was covered in blood. She looked down at her hand and smiled.
"This is getting kind of sad. I'll end this now," she said, and in one quick movement, Zack's head went rolling off on the sand.
Back at Nikki's house…
A tall figure stood in the middle of the room. She was wrapped in a long black cloak, which ended in curls of shadows. Her long black hair flowed over the ground. Her lips were the color of the blackest night and her eyes glowed red. "Yes, my servant… You have done your first service well…" the woman said, and she disappeared into a cloud of darkness…
