Chapter 2

Jamie slowly opened her eyes, and the sun blasted her with a horrible light. She growled unhappily at the thought of this, she'd just wanted to sleep in for the rest of the day. Something about this place..., where she spent so many of her nights in the past 3 years, made her feel... Comfortable.

"D*** sun..." Jamie rolled over onto the floor, and hopped up. Her long boots glinted against the sun, and she closed the curtains on the window.

"I wonder if Todd's up..." She mumbled, last night he'd left, telling her he needed to get to back to his place. She remembered him with a worried look in his eyes.

"Hm..." She looked at what the AC was on in the kitchen.

"F***, why does Todd set this darn thing to 75 whenever he leaves?" She mumbled, turning it down to 60.

She went over to the stereo she'd installed and put in her favorite CD, which was strangely Relient K.

Jamie sat down on a chair in the kitchen and started to think about what had happened last night, humming to the tune of 'Getting Into You'. (A/N: Look it up if you don't know what it is... :P) Someone had told her to kill that cashier, and it wasn't Nail-kitty or herself. And, the figure outside last night just told her that it wasn't all inside her head.

Does this person even seem remotely similar?

Jamie looked up, her eyes as dark as the black stripes on her arms, to see Nail-Kitty floating across from here.

"No, I don't want to think about it."

But that's not what your really thinking Jamie,

"Your right, let me make this much more clear for you: I don't want to Talkabout it."

Jamie got up from her chair, and reached into one of the cabinets in the kitchen.

What are you looking for?

"What do you think I'm looking for kitty?" She shot a look at the headless cat, whose eyes were clouded with death, before grabbing a picture of a man with darker clothes on then her, and a 'Happy Noodle Boy' comic.

I know that you knowTodd lied to you yesterday.

Jamie looked at the picture of the dark-looking man. So much resemblance, she had to know who he was.

"Of course, but it's not like I could do anything about it. Well, I could, but we are too close, and as long as he knows what I can do, that's all that matters," She stopped, looking deeper at the other features of the man.

"You know, this is the only picture I have of him," She wondered in awe as she stared at the hair that lay loosely in his face, which was frowning.

Have of who exactly? And, what does that man even have in common with you?

Jamie shot Nail-kitty a look of disgust,"S***, are you kidding me? Look at the resemblance."

She held the picture up, and somehow, the Nail-Kitty frowned.

I do.But I still don't see why you are so... Determined to find this man.

"This... MAN?" Jamie cocked her head sideways, (Just like he does, yes),"I'm pretty sure this guy is my dad."

Hm. Do you think Todd knows anything about him?

"Yes..." Jessie plopped down onto the couch, thinking back to simpler times. Now she was a liar, and she'd never amount to the person anyone would want her to be.

Then why don't you ask him?

Jamie sighed,"I don't know..."

Go see if he's up.

"Why should I? So that he can lie to me again?"

Are you going to act like that all day?

"Like what?" She looked down at the old, torn "Happy Noodle Boy" comic.

Your acting like life doesn't really matter, like you don't care, when you could be out there finding out who the heck your dad is.

"I guess your right..." Jamie stood up once again,"I'm going to go over right now."

SQUEE'S DREAM:

"So, your still my 'Trauma Sponge'? I'm 23, trust me, I don't need your help. After all, your just a teddy-bear."

Shmee backed up a bit,"Well, If you say so. Me and my Teddy-bear goodness can just leave you to your worst nightmares." Shmee started to disappear, being engulfed in the shadows of Todd's dream.

Todd smiled, was he finally rid of the old childhood bear? Brushing his light brown hair back, he set off towards some random place in dream-land. All of a sudden, a giant fireball hit the ground in front of him.

"What the F-" A flaming piggy fell beside him, and he started to run as fast as possible towards a small dream-puddle, but it was quickly dried up by another flaming piggy.

"Okay, this is just weird. Even for a dream of mine."

Toooooodd, it's time to wake up you big oaf...

"What in the hell?" At least a hundred piggies were now flying from the sky, and he was starting to freak out.

Dude, I need your help!

(Wake up now! ^.^)

Todds eyes opened wide, and his whole body felt like it had gone through some sort of heat flash. But the thing that scared him the most was that, when he had woken up, Jamie was sitting on the side of him. She was really close, so much that she was hovering over him, cocking her head to the side.

"I was wondering when you would wake up..." Todd looked around the room frantically, looking for signs of Nny being there. When he didn't see anything, not even a note, he looked up towards Jamie, sighing. He checked his wrist watch, and his eyes lowered when he saw the time was 6 in the morning.

"Jamie, I was up till 3 in the morning last night, and was planning on sleeping in today. What the Hell could you want that would be so important that you'd need to interrupt me now?" Jamie slowly got up from the twin-sized bed and walked around the room. She noticed the old drawings on the walls of his room... Was that Todd? Most pictures looked like little versions of him, and a little bear she recognized as Shmee. Still roaming around the room, Todd got up yawning.

"Seriously, did you just come here to wander around and look at my room? Yes, it looks like a child's." He stated, and Jamie stopped.

She'd found the picture she'd been looking for. Ripping it off the wall, she jumped towards Todd and pinned him down on the ground.

"What the Hell is wrong with you?" He panted rapidly, which just made Jamie more angry, so she grabbed his neck.

"Who the F*** is this?" She held the picture up in his face, and he started choking from loss of air, his eyes widened. In the drawing, you could see Todd, and a long lanky man who wore dark clothes. The picture seemed torn and was started to turn gray it was so old. The mans face had a very dark expression, but the boys was happy, and was holding the mans hands.

"Tell me, d*****!" She let go of him and he started pulling himself up using the bed frame.

"Jamie..." His eyes were scared looking, and tears were rolling down his face from the pressure of her being on top of him. (Uhhhh, that sounded much more WRONG then I meant it to be peeps... O.o)

Don't hurt him, he's your only friend.

"Shut up Kitty!" Jamie grabbed her ears, trying to make the noise of her Cat talking to her disappear, but it wouldn't go away.

"I can handle this on my own, F***, it's what I do with everything else in my life!" She picked up a very old looking Rubix Cube laying near the dresser in his room, and threw it at him. It bonked him right in the nose, which started to bleed immediately. Todd suddenly stood tall. He wasn't going to be scared of some teenager. He then ran up to her and pushed her against the wall.

Her pupils were much smaller, and she was furious.

"Jamie, listen to me. All you had to do was ask!" Jamie's eyes quickly slowed down and got softer, so Todd got back on his bed and leaned his head against the wall.

"Who is it then?" She spat and sat down next to him.

"That, Jamie, is your father."

For a moment, she seemed curious, but she couldn't control herself, so she turned her head away. Unexpectedly, tears came. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Todd pick up the piece of paper and look at it, deep in thought.

"Yes, I remember when I drew this one, I was about 7," Jamie turned back towards the piece of paper,"You know, he used to call me 'Squee'."

Jamie laughed in between her tears,"'Squee'? I wonder where he got that nickname." She chuckled and 'Squee' looked at her awkwardly.

"I guess it's about time that you learn about him..." Jamie's tears were starting to come out faster, and she sucked in air. Squee's eyes lowered at the thought of losing his dad... Though, his dad was blinded by Nny himself, and at first it scared the heck out of him. But as he got older he knew that nobody had cared for him anyways. So, in the end, he was kinda happy.

"What is there to learn," Jamie sniffled, throwing her hands up in the air,"I wonder what my Dad did as a job, or why he left me, or why anything..."

Squee twitched... How much was he going to tell her? Was this knowledge going to give her the wrong impression about him?

He uneasily stared at her, and then at the window... But something was different about the window, there were... Squee's eyes got bigger once again, and he looked from Jamie to the Window.

"What?" Jamie looked at the window where he swore, Johnny's eyes had been seconds ago.

"Oh, nothing..." Squee knelt his head down,"Jamie, you have to listen very carefully, and please don't get upset about it..."

He grabbed her hands in a friendly way, (NO LOVE HERE UNLESS YOU ASK FOR IT BECAUSE SHE'S 14 AND HE'S 23! It's just kinda weird... :/) and looked into her eyes, which seemed like they were heartbroken.

"Jamie... I have no idea how I'm going to tell you this... Or describe it... Because it's hard for even me to wrap my head around it." He stopped to see if she was listening,"I don't suppose your father was a bad person... His actions may have been wrong, but it's not like he wanted it to be that way."

"What do you mean?" She slid her hands out of Squee's, and gave him a confused look.

"Your... Dad, he- Well, you know all those tunnels under the house and the... bodies, and the poorly scrubbed wall?" Squee gulped at the memories of Johnny picking ever piece and organ out of a person. Jamie was silent, a blank expression on her face. She almost knew what he was going to say, but didn't want to believe it.

"Your Dad-",Todd stopped short, noticing that he didn't know what to say, and he started tearing up a bit, wishing he was little Squee again, still innocent, like Johnny put it,"Well, lets just say, your Dad did that."

"Wh-" Jamie started, but couldn't finish, she just wanted it to be over. She needed to find him.

"He did it for two reasons: One, people pissed him off. And, people did. They said he was d*** skinny. Anorexic almost, but Johnny wasn't. He ate his fair share. He even would take me out for a Freezy every once and a while..."

"Bu-"

"And, two: Was a very important reason. He needed blood for that wall... There was a monster behind it. I have no idea where it went... But, when he left, so did it... I hope."

Jamie snuggled up closer to Todd, feeling small and weak in this uncommon state. She didn't need any more info to know that if she didn't stop now, she was gonna become her father. Did he rape anyone? Did he take them, kill them slowly? Or did he do it quick, as to make them not feel. These thoughts were making her shiver. Looking at her arms, she saw goosebumps.

"Is there anything else?" She asked in a very flat tone, and she saw Todd biting his lip.

"I only have a years-worth of information about Johnny," That was the first time she'd ever heard his name.

Johnny... Johnny... That's a nice name isn't it? It kinda goes with Jamie, huh? Johnny and Jamie? Ha!

She looked up at the floating cat head, and smiled.

"Do you think-" Jamie shuddered,"He's around town?"

"I don't know... Last night he-" Jamie snapped, her good mood suddenly turned bad again. She stood up on the bed, took out her knife, and held it against his neck.

"What the F*** do you mean by 'Last Night'?" She started cutting deeper into Todd's throat, and his eyes were rolling into the back of his head, and blood was coming out of his neck fast.

"I-I-I'm sorry. I'll tell you next time..." He gurgled as Jamie stuck the knife into his arm, and then, he screamed.

"That's the problem with you humans, d*****, you always say you'll change, do it better. But do you ever? No." She paused, looking out the window before leaning down near Todds ears. Todd could barely hear over his howls of pain,"Now, Squee, I'm not going to kill you, because it seems my Dad kept you alive. I'm sure if I killed you, and told him, he wouldn't appreciate it very much."

She started to twist the knife in his arm, and Todd was starting to spazz a little..., before pulling it out slowly. Jamie cackled as Todds shrieks rang in her ears, filling the house with the stuff.

"I'm starting to see his point of view on things Todd, why he got so 'pissed' at a lot of things, as you said. I'll be back soon. Ta Ta for now Squee," She giggled and picked up her black bag, filling it with the picture of her father, the 'Happy Noddle Boy' Comic, and the poorly drawn picture of Squee and Johnny.

She was about to leave the room via window, but she looked back at Todd. He writhed in a pain he'd never endured before.

"I'm sorry Todd, but no one lies to me and gets away with it."

Jamie hopped off the top of the window of the house, and into Todds untrimmed lawn. She stopped for a moment to look around the neighborhood, and then sighed.

"Where are you dad? I need you. For once in my life can't you come to me?" Her black clothes were drenched in Todds blood, but she didn't really care. No one would notice. Well, she did a little, if anyone asked, she was good at coming up with lies.
