"No! No! No! No! No! No!" Dr. Loomis continued to scream, as he aimed his gun at Jamie Lloyd, who stand on top of the stairs, holding up a pair of scissors, and breathing heavily. She was still in her clown costume that she picked out at the Discount Mart. Sheriff Ben Meeker knocked the gun out of Loomis's hand, not wanting him to hurt anybody. Richard Carruthers and Rachel ran up to see what was going on as well and were in shock by what they saw.
"J-Jamie? What did you do," Sheriff Meeker asked her.
Jamie didn't say anything. She just stood there. Richard ran up the stairs passed Jamie, who didn't make any more movents.
"Darlene! Oh, my God! Honey!"
Rachel got on the phone and called for an ambulance. Luckily, her mother wasn't killed, just injured, and she was going to be fine. She did need to stay in the hospital for a couple of days to heel up, however.
Once Dr. Loomis had calmed down enough, he and Sheriff Brackett took Jamie to the Children's Clinic. Dr. Loomis took care of all of the paperwork. These were special circumstances. Jamie didn't go in front of a judge or anything. While Loomis was afraid of what Jamie did, he knew that she wasn't like her uncle. He knew that something had happened to cause her to attack Darlene Carruthers.
Dr. Loomis had tried talking to her, but she couldn't speak. She could do sign language, and write stuff down, but could not bring herself to speak. Surprisingly, Darlene wasn't afraid of Jamie, even though she was stabbed by her. Dr. Loomis had explained to them that Jamie wasn't like her uncle. They knew that. Rachel, especially, for she had grown pretty close to the child, and knew right away the reason for Jamie's attack.
Dr. Loomis was impressed by this family. The fact that they weren't scared of her, the fact that they still loved her, and wanted to see her recovered. Dr. Loomis was determined to help this little girl. He had failed Michael, and wasn't going to fail Jamie. The people who worked at the Children's Clinic were really nice, and treated her like she deserved to be treated. Like a child who was sick, and needed to get better. Hopefully, one day she would.
They had hoped that with Michael Myers now out of the picture, that Jamie would stop having nightmares. Sadly, she hadn't. She kept having nightmares about the night she attacked Darlene, and would wake up screaming. Well, almost screaming. She could barely get a sound out.
On Jamie's birthday, which was in June, they had gotten a surprise for her. Tina was moving into her own apartment and they didn't allow pets, so Tina gave her Doberman dog, Max, to Jamie. Rachel promised to look after Max until Jamie was ready to come home and take care of him herself.
Jamie met a boy at the Clinic, who was really nice. He wasn't a patient there, he came to visit some kids that he was friends with, and grew really close to Jamie. His name was Billy, and he had a bit of a stutter. He would often console her when she was feeling sad, and her family wasn't there that day.
It was getting closer to Halloween, and Dr. Loomis suggested that the Carruthers' family go away for the weekend, until the holiday was over. Deep down, he had a sneaking suspicion that Michael Myers was still alive, and he knew that Michael would probably come after Jamie's family, and he wanted them out of the picture.
Rachel, however, didn't want to go.
"Mom, Dad, Jamie needs me. We're best friends. I can't just leave her. Especially on Halloween."
"Honey, we understand, we don't want to leave, either, but Dr. Loomis insists it's for the best. It'll only be for two to three days."
Rachel sighed in frustration. She loved her parents very much, but she just couldn't bring herself to say yes at first, but when she saw how sad her parents looked, she reluctantly gave in.
Jamie, surprisingly, wasn't upset by the news. She knew that her uncle was alive, and she wanted them to get as far away from Haddonfield as possible.
"Tina will look in on you from time to time," Rachel told her, giving her a hug. Jamie nodded her head.
Rachel left with her parents, and Tina brought Max along to visit Jamie. Jamie was thrilled to see him, and gave him hugs and kisses.
"I have a present for you, sweetie."
Tina pulled out a pink princess costume from a bag. Jamie, excitedly took it.
"Yes, it comes with a tiara and a wand. You and Billy are going to win this contest for sure!"
Jamie, smiling, picked up a crayon and wrote down the words, "Thank you" on a piece of paper.
"You're welcome, hon. I better get Max out of here before we get into trouble."
Jamie felt better. Maybe everything was going to be okay, after all.
