Eds in the Closet
by AmarieC
This story takes place right after Peach, Ach Creek, I highly suggest you read that first but it isn't necessary, but if you haven't read that, please don't read the next sentence, it ruins the story I think. For those who have read Peach, Ach Creek, you must mind that the dimensions are gone and all of it came true. Veronica did move away after a year with the Eds. This is what happens next.
Rated T for strong violence, sexual content, and gore.
This story will be updated in three installments over a period of a month and a half. I started this story back in 2003 to be a cross over between Ed, Edd, 'n Eddy and Jeepers Creepers, and I have rewrote it so many different times. This was actually supposed to be a sequel, but it has taken on a life of its own I guess. I hope you enjoy it. Fare thee well.
"Kiss Me"
"Let go of me NOW!" Edd yelled trying to yank himself free from the dark, stalky figure. Human or demon, he did not care. He kicked it outside of his manner and it dropped him quickly. It growled and abstracted a long, sharp claw. Edd's eyes widened and he tried to crawl away, he could even feel his legs moving, but he was not going anywhere. He quivered. Ed turned to it and looked down to Edd. That monster was right over him, it's claw an inch to his neck. He stared up at with fear; he saw his end was near.
"Must protect friends!" Ed proclaimed, he ran over. Veronica tried to grab him screaming 'no'; Ed was out of her reach. He ran right in front of the creature's claw and was penetrated by the black, scaly, beast. She closed her eyes but tears struggled to keep them from sealing out this nightmare of a world. The creature stopped and frowned at Ed with his grody face. I guess it could not comprehend love.
Edd stared at his friend's back, a centimeter of the claw sticking out from his green jacket, "Ed no!" He would have rather had his throat slashed. He crawled away to a pitchfork and got up with a strength he did not understand. He jumped onto the Creature's back as it drew back it's claw and hauled the pitchfork into the monster. It fell over right there on Edd.
Eddy sat over one of his worst enemies, only she was wounded, fear in her eyes. She stared up at him coughing painfully. He shook with shock, confusion, and a lack of understanding or power.
"What happened? What's wrong?" he did not notice the tears on his cheeks. He gently touched her arm that was folded next to her chest.
"My ribs," she made out slowly.
"May, what?" he gasped. He knew he could not help her, he could not help himself or the people he cared about, let alone her.
"They're broken," May whined, "I can't breath."
"Hold on," he begged picking her up and as fast as he could, running into the storage room of the school. His mouth dropped when he saw the scene. "Ed!" He lay May down by a wall and grabbed a pitchfork. He looked around for Edd but he was not there. Veronica looked up at him, tears in her eyes.
"Ed!" The large boy fell over and crashed onto the hard ground. Eddy shoved the pitchfork into the creature's head while it was down. It gave out a loud, deep, putrid roar. He got on its side and tried to push it off Edd. He was failing so he lay on the blood covered ground and kicked it off to uncover his friend. Edd did not say thanks, he did not need to. The attention turned to Ed, but Eddy could not help but continue to watch the creature. He did not believe it could be killed that easily. Edd took Ed's pulse.
"He's alive," Edd said weakly as Ed moaned. Nazz came from a corner of the room.
"Guys, I think it's dead." They looked to her just in time to see the creature pull out an arm and grab her leg. She fell onto the ground screaming.
"Nazz!" Jimmy yelled in a crying tone. The creature stood and looked down at Eddy. Its face was full of deep, black gashes. With its other claw, it pulled the pitchfork out of its head. Eddy stared in horror at this immortal beast. It reached out a hand to stike him down.
"Eddy behind you!" Edd yelled at him even though he knew. The creature yelled and picked up its hand hitting the ceiling. Plaster fell on them; the creature dropped its hand to beat him. Eddy grabbed the pitchfork and launched it into the creature's insides. Looking deep into the creature's face, and inch between them, he saw its thoughts.
"GO BACK TO THE DEPTHS YOU CAME FROM!"

I came to help her unpack. I ran down the street and turned left to her house. This house was closer to the Cul-de-sac thankfully. It wasn't nice, there was furniture and boxes everywhere, including plastic ones. Veroncia looked at me as I came in her house without knocking and found her to be the only person in the house. She was unpacking and decorating her new room, she called it 'organizing'.
"What do you want me to do?" I asked.
She looked at her box of clothes then back at me, "Not put away my underwear."
"Why not?" I smiled at her, "It's not like it isn't normal." She sighed staring at me admiringly or whatever. "What?"
"I missed you so much Eddy, we haven't always been open about those kind of things but I really, really am happy to see you." I felt warm and tried to say something, anything, but my tongue was tied. She looked around, "What's wrong with you, is Nazz here?"
"No," I finally answered. She stared at me thoughtfully, her eyes bulged. "You missed me that much?"
"Of course, there isn't anything wrong with you, you're nice." I felt on fire now, I looked at the floor, I tried to figure out why I was acting so weird. And with the way Veronica was looking at me, I could tell she had an idea why.
"Is that what nine months away from me do to you?" I think it would have been more normal to say, 'Is that what nine months away from my hot self can do to you baby?" But I didn't say that. I looked back at her as she was hanging her clothes in her empty closet. Her face was so red. "What would it hurt?" I thought, "She probably wants to too." I walked over to her and waited for her to put her handful of clothes down, then hugged her. She was suprised at first but then put her arms around my neck and waist. I could feel that hand sliding up my back to where Veornica thought it was supposed to be.
"Why are you hugging me Eddy?" I immediately let go of her and stared at her heart-broken.
"You don't want me to hug you?"
She stared at me, her face was white, then red again, "You can hug me if you want." I smiled at her and awkwardly hugged her again. Silently she stood with me with arms back on me. She squeezed me against herself and I smiled. We let go of each other after a moment and she smiled at me. I helped her unpack then, boxes after boxes. It took four hours to make her new room look like her old bedroom. "Thanks Eddy," she lay on her bed staring excitedly around the place.
"Uh huh," I mumbled sitting on her bed and beginning to pet her face.
"What are you being so affectionate for?"
"Because I missed you." She smiled looking away from me.
"The kitchen is the last room to unpack, you can help if you want and stay for dinner."
"What you having?"
"Whatever I can find."
"Where are your parents?"
"You know they have jobs at this time."
"I know your dad still has a job at the jawbreaker factory but how did your mom find a job so fast?"
"She was looking when we were in California."
"Where's S.O.S?"
"He, uh, he I don't know. He didn't tell me, probably his treehouse."
"Okay, I'll stay." Out in the kitchen we hurried to unpack everything but Veronica wanted to organize it all so it was eight o' clock when we finally finished. "Okay, scalloped potatoes and meat?" I asked as she set a can of meat and box of instant potatoes on the counter.
"That's all there is Eddy!" she laughed. I went to the pantry which she had organized and there was nothing but a can of olives. Taking it out I showed it to Veronica.
"Where's Double D?" I asked as she began cooking, "I thought he'd be here to help, since he is your boyfriend." Ed was swamped with tutors that day, poor Ed needed all the help in the world to go into the next grade, but even then he'd barely pass.
"Double D is tutoring Ed, you didn't know?"
"No."
"And he's not my boyfriend."
I rolled my eyes, "Sure he isn't." I almost barfed as I watched Veornica try to open a can of meat. It came out onto the counter and jiggled. Running desperately back to the pantry, I looked around for somethng else to eat. There was still nothing on the bottom or middle shelf just as before. I looked at the top shelf and jumped to be able to look up there. I saw something red. Climbing in the pantry, I looked on the top shelf, it wasn't a red jar I had seen, it wasn't a red box or can either. It was a red mark dripping on the back of the pantry. I reached my arm in the pantry and touched the mark. It was wet, and it didn't smell much, but it was sticky. I was going to wipe it on my pants but the 'world's best mom' might have yelled at me for the stain. I went back to the kitchen and washed my hands in the sink.
Veronica looked at me, "What's that?"
"Something in your pantry, it's weird." She went over to the pantry herself and scrubbed off the red mark with a sponge. She looked at the sponge alarmed.
"Eddy this is blood." When she said that I was just concentrating on the way she said my name but then I realized what she had actually had said. It sounded so familiar, it brought back nightmarish memories. The exact feeling I had from a nightmare I had had just yesterday filled me. It was like smelling something familiar and you get a certain mood that you had felt when you smelled it first.
"Weird," I mumbled. We went back into the kitchen and she finished cooking as I opened the olives. After we ate I had plenty to complain about. I hate scalloped potatoes and I think that the processed meat was bad. Me and Veronica were sitting on the couch. Putting my head on her shoulder she looked at me, then back at the stereo which was blaring some song. I suddenly felt uncomfortable with her. Taking my head off her shoulder I stared at her, wanting her so bad. She looked at me then back at the stereo. Once again her eyes came to mine.
"Why are you staring at me?" I tried to think of a way to answer, but each idea scared me. Then I thought of it. I stood and took her hands. Hearing the remote drop, I pulled Veronica to her feet. I stepped behind her and relived a moment in my life that I never forgot.

"Kid do we have to hear every detail!" A man, thirty something, clean cut, dressed in blue, yelled slamming his fists on the table. Eddy just stared at the table frightened.
"You asked..." he began to explain.
"Just tell us what happened." Another man sat on the other side of the table with a pad of paper in front of him and a pencil in his hand.
He looked at the angry man, "We need to hear everything. See? He just released valuable information to us." This man was not as mad, he was also wearing blue, but wore glasses that he continually pushed up his long nose. The angry man sighed through his nostrils and motioned the man in spectacles to the other side off the small, dark room.
"Then just ask him specifically about the signs," the angry man whispered.
"If we do, he might find out why we have him here. This is his second time he has had an..." Eddy watched them, then looked around the room. It was plain. Just a table, two chairs set at it, another chair by the single door, a mirror on the wall Eddy was facing, and an ugly light fixture above the table. This was a basic interrogation room. The two men took their postions as before and stared at the young man. "I apologize for my fellow officer, please go on," the specked man said. Eddy hesitated, then continued.
"I... I, I..."

"I kissed her neck. I licked her shoulder and neck after asking her, "Does this remind you?" I had fooled around with her before and this was exactly the way I did it. She didn't say a thing, but turned her head and planted a kiss on my lips. I grabbed her and kissed her back. She then let go of me quickly and stepped away. "What?" I asked still swooning from her kiss.
"Sorry Eddy, I shouldn't have done that," she hit herself in the thigh mad.
"No Veronica, why? I'm glad you kissed me."
"I can't..."
"Why?" I was angry now, "It's Double D isn't it? You told me no the last time because of him and now you're doing it again!"
"What about him?"
"You like him, and don't freakin' deny it again! Why? He refuses it, YOU even do. So what's the point in saving yourself for him?"
"Eddy just stop it!" She yelled back, her anger on me, "Why do you have to wreck everything? Why do you have to seduce me!"
"Oh come on, you kissed me because you wanted to!"
"I don't like you like that," her eyes were on the ground so I couldn't see them. She made me feel like dirt with that sentence, as if I had been shot in the ego. She was almost crying, "I don't want you to stop being my friend, please forget this." I hugged her, I didn't want to lose her either. Letting go, we sat back on the couch. Another song was playing. Veronica was staring at me, but I just looked at the stereo remote in her hand until Ed and Double D showed up. Ed had a huge smile on his face and his head looked huge. He must have learned something. Double D looked almost exhausted as me and Veronica were from packing. "Have fun?" Veronica asked them.
Ed shook his had, "No, but Double D said that I will be able to go into the next grade!"
"Yes," Double D added, he sat on the couch next to Veronica, he couldn't keep his greedy eyes off her.
"Oh yeah?" I smiled at Ed, I didn't believe it.
"Are you done unpacking?" Double D asked.
"Yeah, Eddy helped so much."
"Let's play!" Ed poked at his brain.
"What?" I moaned.
"Hide and seek?"
"No," we all answered.
"A board game?"
"No."
"We could build a fort with all the empty boxes."
"N..." we stopped. That actually sounded interesting.

"Skip ahead now to the..." the angry man mellowed.
"Don't!" the other man scoldingly interrupted him, "Just tell us what happened at Ed Miller's house and proceed from there."
"What about Ed's house? Why do you care, how do you know it's what you want to know?" Eddy got comfortable enough to ask some of the many questions flooding his mind.
"Listen kid, just tell us," the angry man said sternly becoming eye level with the boy.
"What's this about?" he persisted.
"JUST!..."
"Jenson!" the man in glasses yelled to halt him. He calmed down, "Let me try." The angry man looked at him then stepped to the other side of the room. The other looked at Eddy carefully, "Your friend Double D is in the other room, you've admitted to trying to cheat with this girlfriend, right?"
"No," he answered.
"But this fact would put strain on your relationship with both of them..."..
"They aren't what you think," Eddy read the man's badge, "Salanta."
"Kid it's a crime to withhold information from police."
"You wouldn't hold that against me."
"And why's that?" Salanta smirked.
"Because you don't want anyone to know what I know."
"And what is that?"
Eddy laughed a little, "What you want me to tell you."
THE END FOR NOW
