Everybody's Fool

The elevator gave another whirr and sudder as it began to move again. A young woman, named Ashlein, who was tall, red hair in dreadlocks, and unnaturally large breasts tapped her foot impatiently at the newcomer on the elevator. "Oh look, it's the crack whore," she said. "Huffed any good drugs lately? Have you fucked any junkies?" Ashlein did not favor the shorter, bitter looking girl standing before her. "Listen, Dash, you better not go fucking around with Jak again. He's mine."

Dash turned her fuzzy head slightly in Ashlein's direction. Covered head to toe in orange fur, face tattooed from KG years, long pink and black hair. Her face was hooded under a grey sweatshirt. Face set. Hand in a pocket of the sweat shirt. Ashlein continued her rant. "I don't see why Jak fucked an ugly bitch like you. Spreading your legs for every KG that came along. Jak doesn't love you, nobody does. "Ashlein laughed shrilly. Dash's eyes darted from Ashlein to her hand in her pocket. Slowly, she began to withdraw something...a glint of metal shined on the elevator lights.

She withdrew a long, silver knife. Ashlein now had her back turned. Dash crept up to Ashlein knife at the ready, held above her head. Ashlein turned around suddenly and just before the knife brought down, she screamed. She screamed as the knife peirced her body. She screamed as her blood flooded the almost empty shaft. Again and again, Dash stabbed her, in a bloody, angry rage, until the screaming stopped and Ashlein's torn body lay in peices all over the shaft.

"So much for everybody's fool," Dash said, her voice deep, her blood red eyes staring at the mess. Slowly she dipped a finger in the warm blood, and wrote on the wall, "Everybody's Fool". Suddenly, the elevator stopped and shook. The door opened, but nobody was standing there outside. She lept out around a corner, as a two chattery young women headed towards the elevator. She turned away, and started to weep as she heard two horrified screams...

Torn whipped open his eyes in horror of his dream. He was alone, in the dark, in a bed with white sheets and blankets, tubes sticking out of various parts of his anatomy, soft blips of machines going in the night. He caught sight of nurse who just turned around. She gasped.

Janovah seemed to have reached nirvana, as she continued to kiss back. Seem was on top of her, both embracing each other. One did not need sex now; this was just as good as. But to both their horror, the door burst open suddenly as a bouncy young woman in a baby blue bikini top barged into Janovah's room. Kat stood there, boucning, and said, "Hey Jan! I got some good news, I-" she broke off at the sight before her.

Janovah stared into Kat's eyes as Kat tried to figure out what make of it. But Seem immediately brought himself off of the young woman and ran out of the room. Kat finally said, "That bastard. That bastard! How dare he take advantage of you like that!" Janovah was confused, she was the one who snogged Seem. "I mean, yeah, you shouldn't have let him, but he just barges in here like a shoulder to cry on, then turns around and takes advantage of your vunerability. When you're a whore, you pick up on these sort of things."

"I came to tell you that Torn is awake. They said there may be some good news after all." Janovah looked away, fraught with shame. She spoke barely above a whisper, "Don't tell him. Don't tell Torn what I did." Kat smiled a little. "I wouldn't. I'll keep your secret as long as you want it kept. That's what sisters are for."

Maia dangled the vial of Dark Eco over the dilutted Light Eco. The amounts were right, she should get a combination...She tipped the vial carefully as the contents poured into the beaker on the table. The contents glowed deep red and bright. She smiled. She did it. She created the ultimate eco.

BOOM.

The beaker exploded into peices, shards going everywhere, embedding themselves in the walls of her lab. "DAMN!" she swore. "I was so sure!" There was loud knock on her lab door. "WHAT!" she yelled angrily. Her door creaked open and there stood a tall, brown-haired woman, with yellow eyes. She spoke in a whipsery tone, staring deeply at Maia. "My name is Vynn, you must be Maia, it is a pleasure to meet you. The Fates told me you would come to the good side." Maia was instantly annoyed and added Vynn to her "People I Hate Who Are Total Goodies-Goodies" list. Her other list, "People Who Are Okay" had only Janovah on it because Janovah at least had some style, and actually believed she had any credibility.

"The Fates also tell me that there will be a visitor from the past. I have gotten the black Raven, black meaning from the past, the Raven being a visitor." Vynn held up a tattered card, that looked like a playing card except it had a picture of black bird and strange symbols all over it. "Seem called me here. Where is he?" Maia shrugged, and finally Vynn left her in peace. "Damn nuns. I fucking hate them."

Janovah looked around the hospital corridor. It was empty, and nobody was watching. She reached on to the supply cart and withdrew a vial lquid bioxygen. She spoke, and it hurt. It hurt as she spoke. It hurt. "I want to die," she said, barely a whisper. "I want to die," she said plainly.

"I WANT TO DIE!"

She screamed. But suddenly, she was getting dizzy. She collasped. She began to sweat, knowing something was wrong. Finally she passed out, sweat and blood seeping in to carpet.

Kat looked around for Janovah, back tracking down a corridor...and there lying by a supply cart, was her. Blood was oozing from her mouth, sweat coming off her body. Kat thought she heard her scream, "I want to die," but hoping she was only paranoid. Kat ran over to her still body, looking at a vial near her hand, that said "Liquid Bioxygen".

"Oh my god...SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!"

A/N: No. I didn't kill Ashlein because I hate her. I killed her because she has no ROLE! And besides, Dash killing her out of jealousy is pretty damn dramatic.
