A Whole Lot Of Crazy
Back at Amy's home, Amy was now in her room doing her makeup with plenty of time to think about things. She got a call on her phone and answered to see it was Junior on the line.
"What's taking you so long? And did you do something with our order? It's been like 30 mins and still no pizza boy here."
"Sorry about that, got carried away and ate the pizza boy. Don't worry I have our order, but I need you over her for something important. Meet me at the abandoned farmhouse asap." He hung up as Amy finished adding deep red lipstick on herself and smiled in her mirror.
Meanwhile back with Junior, he looked over to a tied up Cameron with duct tape over his mouth as he tried to cry out for help. Junior laughed at his sad attempt as he walked over to him.
"Sorry about the duct tape, Now that we're here, you won't be needing that. Let me get that for you." He said as he took it off him quickly. Causing him pain as he removed it.
"Relax kid, that should had been quick and painless. Whatever, continue to call out for help if you want. It won't matter anyways cause we are far from town. It's just you and me out here with nobody to save you." He laughed. He reached out and got himself a barbecued chicken wing and devoured it.
"Mmmm, I must admit, there's no substitute to the sweet taste of human blood. But barbecue sauce wins second place!" Cameron came back to his senses and looked up at him.
"I knew it. You're the real monster that's been hurting people around here. You had Shadow framed for it and for what reason?"
"Because I can, because I find it funny to cause pain to him and onto others, but more importantly, I HATE him with a passion." He said angrily.
"Why do you hate him? What drove you to be so cruel to him?"
"Well, at first it started as a simple revenge. "His father killed my father, so I kill his" the usual. But upon seeing him, I felt something with him, something powerful deep within him waiting to explode. That's when I decided to stick around and torment the hell out of him! Spent the years hurting him, the ones he was close too, all of this to break him slowly. Because after tomorrow night when I kill his girl, two things will happen, either he'll finally snap and unleash that darker side to him, he'll be compassionless, a complete monster...Just like me. Or he'll be broken to the point he'll be begging for death. As much as I would love to feast on his worthless flesh, I'd enjoy it more to let him live and suffer. Either way, nobody will be able to stop me." His claws playing with the "M" on his chain necklace as he finished. Cameron was extremely worried, even tho he was eating his wings, he knew that him telling him all of this was not going to end well for him. He saw a sharp object nearby where he was at. He decided to slowly crawl to it while Junior wasn't looking.
"I see, so you plan on hurting Sammy just to get him in either of those state? What makes you think turning him to be like you will play in your favors? He'll try to take you out first." He said trying to distract him. Junior smiled as he took the chain off his neck and held it with one finger.
"You see this?" He said to him while looking at Cameron. "This was given to me by mother dearest. Consider this as "Another form of hell" for you see, every time I kill or feast on someone, this bad boy steals away their soul and in return powers me up. Makes me stronger. If you listen closely, you can hear some of the unfortunate souls screaming, begging to be free from this hell I have them in." He chuckled to himself as he held his chain close to his ear to hear the faint sound of the screaming he talked about. Cameron was in the middle of cutting the ropes tied on his hands behind his back. He couldn't believe someone this insanely evil could exists. "All I need now is a bit more time to add more to the collection, take Samey to the dance, kill her, and then the real fun shall begin!"
"Samey?" Cameron thought as his eyes widened. "Did you call her "Samey"? There's only one person I know that calls her that. And that's-" Before he could finish, a car appeared, lights blinding Cameron. The lights turned away from his view as someone stepped out of the car. As the figure got closer, Cameron was shocked.
"AMY?!" Only she looked a bit different. her boots were black, she wore black leather pants, a leather jacket, a red shirt and had deep red lipstick on.
"Was beginning to wonder when you were going to show up. Loving this new look on you by the way." Dark M Jr said to her as she got herself a slice of pizza.
"Glad you love it, got it while shopping. Thought it would be great for my comeback." She looked over and saw Cameron on the ground tied up. "What's the bookworm doing here?"
"A noisy one at that, caught me feeding and then tried to stall me by asking me questions. Nice try kid."
"I should had known you couldn't change for the better. I can't believe you're working with that monster. Everyone knows how much you hate your sister but you're seriously ok with trying to kill her?" He said as he finally broke the rope on his hands.
"Guilty as charged. It was such a pain pretending to be nice to her and to any of you losers. I admit I wasn't to thrilled working with this guy at first. No offence." She said to Junior who ate a few more wings.
"No harm done, I wouldn't work with me either." He joked.
"But after I heard what he had to offer, the promise of being able to get rid of Samey and her boyfriend, regaining my former glory and extending it to further heights. I never felt more alive with him." Hearing her like this had Junior in pure ecstasy.
"Loving this new you so far babe, But now we must get down to business, I called you over because I want you to kill this rat."
"What?!" Cameron shouted.
"With pleasure, good thing I brought this with me." Amy said as she walked over to the car. Junior watched her swaying her hips as she walked. Feeling as if she was doing it on purpose for him, Junior was glad to see this side of her in all her glory, her freedom to be more of herself.
"Hey Blue eyes?!" Junior hearing this turned his head only to have the sharp blade that Cameron used to get out of the ropes to be thrown at his face cutting his eyes. Cameron took this moment to take off running again. His wounded eye quickly healed itself from the cut of the blade as he growled seeing him flee.
"You little worm! You'll pay dearly for that." He said to himself as he whipped out his claws. Before he could chase him, Amy ran past him with a bat in her hands telling him that she's got it. She had Cameron in her sites, taking her bat and throwing it right at him, hitting him in the back causing him to fall down. Amy grabbed her bat and kicked him over so he was on his back facing her.
"Next time try not running straight, made it easy to throw this at you. Also fun fact, I used this same bat on Samey and nearly killed her with it. Lets see how many hits you can take." She raised her bat up, preparing to beat him with it like she did with her sister. But before she could strike him, Dark M Jr grabbed the bat forcing her to stop. She raised an eyebrow at him, confused on what he was doing.
"Look I know what I said, but I almost created a problem with our plans." He released the bat as she lowered it down. "If we were to kill you right here right now, You're family would be worried wouldn't they? Worried enough to contact Sammy and her group of pals to perhaps cancel the plans for the dance and ruin our plans. So I'll give you two choices. We'll spare you, let you go home, catch some sleep, and live you're miserable life without us harming you. But in return you will keep that mouth of yours shut about all of this. If there's even the slightest bit of awareness with Sammy or her friends. I'll kill them and your family but leave you alive to regret it. Or we can just kill you now and then kill your folks, hide their bodies so even if they are found, everything will had happened already. So what's it gonna be? Mercy is something I rarely give people so I wouldn't waste this chance if I were you." Cameron didn't know what to think of this. Either live and not say a word to his friends and let Sammy die. Or die along with his family. As much as he hated it, he had no choice.
"Fine, you win. I won't tell anyone about you two." Dark M Jr patted him on his head.
"You made the right choice." He looked over to Amy looking very upset at him with her arms crossed. "It seems my dear is a bit unhappy that she couldn't kill you. So I'm gonna need you to endure a few broken fingers, but then after that, no more harm will be down." He smiled as he walked away. Amy then lifted her right leg and smashed her boot against Cameron's left hand. Causing him to scream in pain as Amy followed Junior with a smirk on her face.
"Hopefully the kid knows the way back from here, I didn't drag him too far so it shouldn't be to hard for him to know his way home. I must say Amy, You did very well if not better than what I expected to happen. Before I realized the error I almost made to our plans when I wanted you to kill him, not only did you come all dressed up with your bat. But when I saw you chase after him, nearly ready to end his worthless life. That's when you not only caught my eye, but also earned all my respect. You're truly something else Amy and I...appreciate having you around. Being bad can be fun and all, but having a wicked partner in crime is a new and exciting feeling for me and I thank you for this." Hearing this had Amy blushing, something no guy has got her to do. She then giggled as she brought back her smirk.
"Awww If I didn't know any better, I'd say I'm starting to grow on you aren't I?" Junior chuckled at her comment. "Normally I don't show any kindness to anyone whatsoever, but I should be the one thanking you. Had you not had shown up. I'd probably still be forced to put up to my worthless sister and her annoying pet. But with you, you've gave me the chance to be bad again and I'm loving every minute of my new ruthless self."
"Well, seems like we both bring out more of the evil in each other don't we?" The two of them grinned at each other as he placed the food into her new car. "Also by the way. I was meaning to ask about the car here. I recall you telling me your last one was wrecked?"
"Nothing my bat couldn't handle, bonus to the idiot who left their keys in their car." Dark M Jr turned his attention back to the car, noticing some blood on the front door of it.
"Left their keys you say?" His nose then picked up a familiar god awful smell. Walking over to the trunk where the smell was coming from. He opened it up to see a dead man with his head smashed in inside the trunk. Seeing this even got his eyes all widened. "Oooh my dear, you are a absolute demon." He turned his attention back to Amy as she lifted her finger wanting him to come to her as he did so, taking her into his arms as he kiss her. Dropping her bat and raising a leg as she returned the kiss. Her arms wrapped around his cold neck while his hands were around her waist, His touch tingling her spine causing her to moan as she continued the embrace. After a minute of locking lips, the two then broke the kiss to breathe.
"God I've been dreaming of doing that." Hearing her said that caused Junior to chuckle.
"Have you now? Glad this was worth it for us both cause your lips taste so much better than blood." Now it was Amy's turn to giggle.
"For a cold hearted monster, you're quite the charmer I must say." She teased.
" Oooh my dear…Once we finally have our revenge and kill our lesser counterparts, this town will know to fear m-" He stopped as he brushed his hand on the side of her face gently. Her eyes closed as she enjoyed the feeling of his cold touch again. "To fear us...My dear Amy."
"Why don't we head back to my place so we can have a little…"fun". She teased some more while whispering in his ear.
"As much as I would love to explore that wondrous body of yours. I'm afraid that will have to wait for now. I have a few more things I need before tomorrow night and can't afford any time to be wasted. Everything must go well if our revenge is to be complete."
"Do what you have to do. At least if everything works out for us, nothing can make the mood sweeter than victory sex."
"Indeed." He purred. "See you in the morning my dear. Oh I'll also be taking this to go." He lifted the dead body from the trunk of the stolen car. "Can't let a fresh corpse go to waste. I'm sure you won't be needing it. You can have the rest of my wings if you'd like." He said as he took off into the night with the corpse. Amy gave him a quick blow kiss as she went back into the car.
"You've done well Amy old girl. Now to get some sleep. I should also be sure to get his car cleaned up before the others show up tomorrow." She drove off into the night as Cameron was also walking back home as fast as he could. His eyes not believing what they saw. Sammy and the monster posing as "Drake" were not only working together, but now they were dating.
"I'm so sorry guys…I wish I could warn you all about this..." His eyes widened as a idea popped up into his head. "Wait a minute! They said I can't let the gang know about them, but nothing about telling Shadow!" He said to himself as he began to run. "I'm gonna get some sleep first, But in the morning I'm gonna see if I can find Shadow somewhere in town. I hope I can find him in time…."
(Back with Shadow and Duncan)
As Shadow and Duncan walked into the bar (and no this is not the beginning of a bad joke) the bar was crowded as hell, all the most tough and ruthless men and women enter there. Inside there was rock music blasting, mechanical bull riding, pool tables, and lots of alcohol around. Duncan took lead as he and Shadow walked over to the bartender. She was a redhead with green eyes, hair in a bun with a cobra tattoo.
"Let me do the talking, you watch my back just in case." Shadow nodded to him as he looked over to see some of the folks in the bar were glaring at him. He wasn't liking the look of this already and hoped Duncan could get the information quickly. "Hey there good looking, Lovely night we're having? Look I'm just gonna cut to the case and ask you if you've by chance seen two guys lately, mainly one with a knife tattoo?" The bartender smiled to him.
"Funny seeing you here Duncan. Thought I had you kicked out of here a week ago." Her eyes glazed over to Shadow only seeing the back of him. "Who's your friend there?"
"Ooh no no no, we're not friends. Just thought I'd help the guy out. So about the two guys?" Duncan then felt Shadow tapping his shoulder.
"I'm starting to think maybe it was a bad idea for me to be in here."
"What can't handle a few of these guys?" Seeing Shadow's helmet got the bartender thrilled with excitement as she whipped out her microphone.
"Well well well, look who decided to show up to our bar boys! Our former bad boy: Duncan! And the former do-gooder turned criminal: The Shadow Walker!" This got everyone in the bar to look over and surround the two. Everyone of them making angry faces at them.
"I can handle of few, but everyone in this bar is too much." Shadow replied.
"Aw come on guys. Sure I've done a few bad things to you all-"
"You destroyed our bikes!" Shouted one guy in the crowd.
"By accident... but can't we just forget that happened and move on?" Duncan pleaded but nobody was convicted.
"Don't forget about this freak! He's locked up half of our friends." Shouted a woman next to Shadow.
"I'm terribly sorry I did that, but let's be real here. Had they not done the crime, they wouldn't be serving the time am I right?" He nervously laughed trying to win the crowd with some humor but to no advil.
"Nice way to get them on you're good side. Maybe you should try not making fun of them." Said Duncan.
"At least I'm trying to lighten the mood a bit with some humor. Tho perhaps that wasn't the best taste. But how's pleading working out for you?" Shadow taunted back.
"Ok ok fine so we're both in hot water right now. You got any ideas for how we can get out of this?"
"Well I do have one idea running in my mind right now." He said just as a big guy stood in front of Shadow.
"Yeah? And what's that?" Duncan then looked over to see some guys and gals cracking their knuckles and grabbing pool sticks.
"SOMEBODY HIT SOMEBODY!" Shadow screamed as he punched the big guy standing in front of him in the stomach. Causing him to fly and land onto a bunch of other people in his way. Duncan then grabbed the closest guy nearby and kneed him in his head, knocking him out cold. Shadow pulled out his taser darts and began shooting while spinning around, hitting everyone that circled him. Duncan ducked from the shots as he grabbed some empty bottles and began to throw them at some of the guys. Both of them were dropping people left and right to the ground as they then got back to back seeing more people surrounded them, wielding chains, bats, broken bottles, anything they had or could find to use against the pair. As Duncan pulled out his trusty knife, Shadow activated the blades on his gauntlets.
"You take the 20 on the right, and I'll take on the 4 on the left." Duncan said sarcastically making Shadow's eyes roll.
"Very funny. So much for the peaceful route I suppose." He said as the two of them rushed over with their battle cries while the hordes of people did the same clashing together for one insane bar fight.
(Elsewhere at Zoey's house)
Zoey, Sammy, Dawn, and Jasmine were all in Zoey's room in their pajamas getting ready for bed. Sammy was using the bathroom brushing her teeth as others were getting in their sleeping bags.
"You girls excited for tomorrow? " Jasmine asked.
"You bet!" Zoey said with excitement. "How are you feeling about it Sammy? You seem like you're all better again."
"I am thank you. I was a bit nervous about the dance at first with Shadow gone for awhile, then Drake asking me to it, But thanks to you guys making today so much fun. I feel a lot less nervous about the dance." She said as she finished brushing her teeth and prepared her sleeping bag.
"Aw we're always here for you. I can't wait to try out our new dresses for the dance tomorrow." Said Dawn.
"How's about tomorrow morning we all go somewhere to eat?" Zoey asked as they all agreed to do that in the morning.
"Well Goodnight you guys and let's hope for a great day and a wonderful dance tomorrow." Jasmine said to them all as they each said their goodnights and drifted off to sleep. But before she could go to sleep. Sammy quietly got out of her sleeping bag and walked towards the window. She glazed at the night sky. As her eyes then too their focus towards the city, Sammy placed her hand against the window and closed her eyes.
"Goodnight Shadow...wherever you are right now. Please be safe and come back to me…" She sat there quietly for a moment and then went back to her sleeping bag and drifted to sleep with her friends.
(Back with Shadow and Duncan)
Things were getting wild and crazy as blood, broken glass, and people all knocked out on the floor. Shadow was kicking a guy one minute and then tossing a bloodthirsty biker girl across the room the next. He was then hit multiple times in the head by bottles of beer and wine by some of the girls over at the bartender's area.
"Oh come on! You couldn't throw any empty bottles?! Great now I'm be stinking of alcohol for the rest of this shindig." Being off his guard, he was then punched in the face by a random biker guy causing his helmet to spin. He stopped the spinning and kicked the biker back. "How are you doing Duncan?" He looked over to see him with a pool stick hitting a biker girl in the head with it, breaking the stick in half and knocking her out.
"I'm doing great." His clothes were all torn, his mohawk was messy and had a black eye. "I can do this all night." He lied to himself as he said breathing heavily.
"I can see that. I don't think I can take much more of this. And good lord how big is this bar anyways? Feels like I've been fighting over 100 people." He looked over to see more people ready to throw down. Seeing more of the people previously knocked out getting right back up again.
"Could be the fact they don't stay down for too long."
"You weren't kidding, these guys are tough as nails." He looked up to see about 5 people rushing towards him. "Mother.." he quietly said as he was tackled to the ground. A few more of them jumped up to dog pile him.
"Oh crap." Duncan said seeing this as a bunch of people tried doing the same to him. Duncan saw this and quickly rolled out of the way causing them to trip and some to fly into the bartender area hitting the girls there too. Duncan laughed but was quickly cut off by a punch to the face. Shadow on the other hand was growling as he was still getting beaten up by the group of people piled on top of him. As his growling and beating continued for another minute. He had enough of it and got up to roar as loud as he could. He sent the pile of people flying away from him as he stood up. Shadow's roar caused everyone to cover their ears from his loud roaring. Windows were breaking, bottles blew up in seconds, even the tv and surround sound blew up from his roar.
"ENOUGH WITH THIS FIGHTING!" He screamed as he stopped his roar. Bringing everyone's attention as he took a deep breathe and began to speak to them. "I think I can speak for everyone here that this fight has gone on for way too long. I mean just look of the damage we're doing to this place. Plus it's like around midnight, surely you folks have night warm beds you wanna go sleep on, unless you're night owls like me then I guess that part doesn't mean much to you. But why don't we all just calm down, get ourselves a cold one and act like the past thirty five or so minutes didn't happen? Who's with me?!" He said as he raised an empty half broken mug high in the air hoping to had reached out to them.
"Hey but weren't you the one that started the fighting to begin with?" Said someone in the crowd.
"Ok ok, Let's not go around pointing fingers on who may or may not had started what. What matters is who ends it, and that person isn't just me...it's all of you guys and gals." The room went silent to a point where crickets can be heard. Shadow was sweating nervously under his helmet but suddenly one person started to slowly clap. This clapping slowly got everyone else in the bar to clap as well and even cheer him on. Duncan got back up rubbing his head in pain and was surprised to see everyone clapping and cheering for Shadow's ridiculous speech.
"Well there's something you do see everyday." As he said this, the female bartender he talked to earlier helped him get back on his feet and placed an icepack on his black eye.
"Gotta hand it to your friend there. Even with a terrible speech like that he somehow managed to win the crowd over. I'm impressed."
"Got to hand it to the guy, can be both calm and intimidating at the same time. So you think now we can talk business again?"
"Not yet. I wanna make a deal with you first. Thanks to your friend, our tv and surround sound is busted. I can't run this place without our music you hear?" she said to him.
"Look we can go steal a new set if this is where it's heading."
"No need, I've got some boys that will be doing that for me. I noticed your friend there has a booming set of vocals on him. I want him to sing for afew hours while we get the new gear. I'll also have some boys pick up on the guys you're looking for. A pair with one of them having a knife tattooed on them right?"
"Yup that's what we're looking for. And don't you worry I'm sure he'll sing for the place while you get your stuff back." He said as he held his hand up.
"Then we got ourselves a deal." She finished as she shook his hand. "Boys set up the karaoke machine." She ordered as she walked away. Duncan dashed over to where Shadow was. The two of them high fived each other on the success.
"Great job on the save there man. We're gonna be given the location of the guys whereabouts in a bit. For the meantime you're gonna have to sing for these guys." This took Shadow by surprise.
"Sing for them? I'm not much for the singing type." Shadow took a few seconds to think about it. "Ok I'm gonna give it a shot. As long as we get the whereabouts on the guys asap then its fine with me. I just pray all this singing doesn't damage my vocal cords."
"Hey there sugar. While my boys get things set up. You want your suit there washed? I can't have my singer stink up the joint. I'll give you spare clothes you can wear for the time being." She offered as Shadow agreed to her offer, not enjoying the alcoholic smell on him either.
After afew minutes, the karaoke was ready to go and Shadow walked up on stage. He wore a leather jacket with torn jeans. His mask was off, Which oddly to his surprise, the crowd found him to look more hardcore without it. He found it quite nice that everyone was accepting to him like that. He then looked at the man operation the songs.
"So what songs am I gonna be singing?"
"Boss wants you to sing on the Breaking Benjamin karaoke track." He responded.
"Thank goodness I at least know the band. Say anyway you can play that one song. I think it was called "Without you" or something."
"Yup that's the one, Let me set it up for you buddy." He took a minute or two to find the song. As the T.V. was turned on the man gave Shadow the thumbs up.
"Ok everyone! We're gonna start this karaoke night with a song that will hit you in the feels for anyone with someone special in their hearts. I hope you all enjoy my singing. Bit rusty to be honest." He said as everyone either continued on to what they were doing, cleaning up some of the messes made, or looking over to watch Shadow sing. "This one's for you Sammy...kinda, been awhile since I listened to the lyrics of this song. Overall miss you right now." He said internally as he began to sing the first song. After a good minute of singing, Shadow slowly picked up the beat and really got into song, Singing to his heart's consent. Causing people in the bar to cheer him on as he sang. Duncan rooting for him in the corner as he pass out sleeping. Shadow smiled at that as he continued to sing, moving on to each song after the next.
(Back at the abandoned farmhouse)
Unknown to anybody, Dark M Jr had made the abandoned farmhouse his base of operations and resting place. After he finished consuming the dead body Amy had in her trunk, He came back to his "home" to work. He was testing some liquids in some vials and beakers he had around. He took a heated up coffee pourer he had on a rusty stove and slowly poured very bright pink liquids into a vial. He finished pouring as much as the vial would hold and took a big whiff of it. He coughed a bit as the smell was burning his nose.
"How otherly revolting...perfect." He smirked as he then took out an makeup set box. Pulling out some lipstick as he began to laugh sinsterly to himself.
