You Failed, Jack

Chapter Nine

A loud moan grabbed Jackson's attention and shook him out of his memories. He rushed into the bedroom, where Lisa was stirring. Her frail body was leaning against the headboard and her face showed her complete and utter agony.

I did this. I broke her.

"You," she gasped softly, breathing heavily.

"Leese," he smiled at her and then sat down beside her. "How nice of you to join me again."

"No."

"No, what?"

"Get away from me, you piece of shit…"

Lisa's green eyes were hateful and sharp. What, no waterworks? I'm shocked.

"Stay away from me," she ordered, fumbling with something under the covers.

His eyes narrowed and he leaned closer. "I think not, sweetheart. Remember, you belong to me now."

Jackson moved into kiss her, and his lips forced themselves on hers. His tongue slipped into her shocked mouth and he smirked. But his pleasure came to a painful end when Lisa bit him.

His tongue throbbed and he smacked her soundly for daring to harm him. She tried not to shrink away in fear and attemped to stay strong. I can see right through you, Lisa. I can tell that you are weak. You can't hope to win against me.

"Do we remember what happens to bad girls, Lisa? How did I punish you last time? Tell me."

Her eyes shut against the painful memories and she bit her lip.

He grabbed her shoulders and shook her. "Tell me, Lisa," he said coldly. "What did I do to you last time? Huh? Did we already forget?"

One of his hands trailed down her thigh and she twitched at his touch.

"Lisa, I'm waiting."

She swallowed and whispered, with tears in her eyes, "You raped me."

"Good girl. Now what should I do to you again for being bad?"

"Punish me." She refused to look him in the face and her defiance was gone. He had successfully broken her again.

"How, Leese? How should I be punishing you? Hmm?"

"You want to… rape me again."

"Excellent. You're learning."

Jackson pulled her down the bed and away from the headboard. She refused to fight back; probably owing to the fact that she could no longer kick him. He carefully pulled himself over her battered body.

She cried out in pain and he silenced her with a hand over her mouth. "No screaming, Lisa. Not yet."

She silently swallowed and he heard her sniffle. Here comes the waterworks, right?

"What?" he snapped.

His only response was a single, silenced shot. It threw him backwards as it hit his shoulder.

"Lisa, what are you doing?"

Another shot, this one closer to his heart.

"Leese… be careful. I don't want you shooting yourself," he teased. She'll never kill me. She's too damn weak.

"Shut the fuck up, Jack."

BANG! A bullet struck his head and Jackson tumbled off the bed. He fell silent as he watched the blood dripping from his wounds onto the floor.

I'll confuse her. She'll think she's killed me and then I'll get the upper hand again. She can't beat me. I'm not a failure. I'm not like Sofia

A loud thump sounded as Lisa rolled herself off the bed. She was now dragging herself across the floor, desperate to reach a phone. Now's my chance.

As she started to pass him, his left hand enclosed around her left wrist. She screamed aloud and gazed at him with horror-filled eyes. He smiled back.

"Nice try, Leese. I'm still alive though."

"No!" she cried out. "NOOO!!!"

He set his jaw into a straight line and yanked her to the ground. His hands found themselves encircling her throat as she punched at him. Her legs were useless, but she was still determined to fight him off.

"NOOO!!!" Her ear-shattering scream was pissing him off. Suddenly, as he squeezed, it faded into a faint, hiss-like whisper.

"That's it," he whispered to her, smirking madly. "Embrace the darkness, Lisa. It's your friend."

She was fading fast.

But he was losing strength too. Finally, it was too much and he released his hold and collapsed on the floor beside her unmoving body.

As he was facing the encroaching darkness, he heard the door break down and the police enter.

We'll meet again, Lisa. I'm not finished with you by far. I'll never be finished. You will be mine

Author's Notes:

Jackson always seems to find himself on the floor when the cops come. Anyways, only one more chapter to go and it acts similar to an epilogue. Thanks for making it this far and for reviewing!
