Unsaid Chapter 7: Karma, a kyle xy fanfic

I don't own Kyle Xy

Warning! This story is a bit dark. And psychotic. And really not kind to Cassidy

Cassidy was nervous. He had been feeling nervous for the past two weeks in fact. Every since he discovered that the ring was missing and that Jessi had been in his office. He was not only feeling nervous but also puzzled. He knew how unstable Jessi was. If she thought that he was behind her mother's disappearance she should have been trying to beat the information out of him

Instead she simply disappeared. Even with all the sources available to him he had no idea where she could be. Kyle said that she needed some time alone and wouldn't elaborate anymore. So Cassidy didn't know what to think. Jessi's actions didn't fit with her profile. He had no idea what she was planning. The only possible sign of her was that a few days after her disappearance Nate was knocked out and robbed. But considering that Jessi would have no motive to attack him, the fact that the vast majority of people in the university wouldn't mind beating him up and the level of crime on the campus it was doubtful that Jessi was behind the attack

And if this was not annoying enough every since Jessi disappeared Kyle's seem more withdrawn then ever. All the progress he had made with gaining that boy's trust was gone. He hoped that Kyle was withdrawn simply because he was missing his girlfriend or whatever Jessi was now to him but he feared worse. Cassidy wasn't in control and he hated it

He forced himself to stop thinking about this. Today was Friday. He wanted to simply kick back and relax. If Jessi tried something he would find a way to deal with her. After all he manage to deal with her mother well enough

As he entered his apartment his thoughts focused on what pizza to order tonight he noticed something strange. There was something off about his room. Tiny details seemed out of place. As he inspected it more closely he was stunned to see what was in his aquarium. It was Sarah's ring, the one stolen from his safe two weeks ago. What was the meaning of this? Was that foolish girl trying to play games with him? He quickly reached in to get the ring. He was so angry he didn't even notice the slight stings on his hand

"Hello Cassidy" he turned around only for his face to meet Jessi's fist

He woke up fifteen minutes later if the wall clock was to be believed. His head was throbbing and for some reason his hand felt itchy. He noticed that he was tied up on a chair in the middle of his living room. And that Jessi had changed a few things. Now it was full of pictures from Sarah. In all shapes and sizes. Cassidy felt like laughing. The girl really did want to play games with him. But she was underestimating him. He may not be a genius but he was superb at talking his way out of such situations. By the time he was done with her she would following him like a puppy

"I know what you are thinking Jessi. Let me explain. "encouraged by Jessi's silence he continued" I know you must be confused by why I have Sarah's ring and I think it's finally time you knew the truth"

Cassidy began feeling a bit of doubt. Jessi was too silent. She didn't seem to move a muscle even. He couldn't read her.

"Sarah was planning to use you as a weapon against us. She didn't care about you she only wanted to hurt us. So we captured her. She is being held in one of our facilities so she can't harm us, you or even herself. You must understand Jessi she is a sick woman. We are only trying to keep everybody safe. I took the ring because she wasn't worthy of it anymore. I took it because I was hoping that someday soon I will be able to give it to you. You are special Jessi."

That had to work. He knew he pushed all the right buttons but she was still just staring at him. Time for the ace up his sleeve. Making sure he didn't show how nervous he was getting he used his smooth tone of voice and said

"I can take you to Sarah if you want. Then you will see that I am telling the truth" well she was going to meet several dozen security guards actually

He was holding his breath waiting for the reaction. She just had to bite. He knew the lie sounded perfectly. Especially for someone with Jessi's issues

"Why did you kill her?" she finally spoke in a cold tone

"I didn't kill her Jessi. I…"

"I know what you did. I went back, back in my memories. I guess you didn't know we can do that? I know everything. I saw the blood traces you had cleaned, I could hear her heart giving out" she continued with pain in her voice" and yet you just stood there and had a nice talk with me. You killed my mother and you didn't even care"

"Jessi I swear I "

"DON'T LIE TO ME" Cassidy felt like taking a step back. Events were spinning rapidly out of his control

" I am sorry Jesssi but I had to. She has been a danger for all of us for decades. We tried reasoning with her but she didn't listen. We couldn't take the risk"

Cassidy was starting to sweat. His plan had fallen apart. He wished that Kyle was here. The boy seemed to be the only one who could control this girl.

"Jessi I am truly sorry for what had to be done" he tried again but the girl had reverted back to simply glaring at him angry "Jessi please say something"

It took almost a minute until he heard her talk

"Do you know what pain you put me through? I don't think you can really imagine. It was bad enough when I believed that she left because she hated me. That was painful but I could handle it. But when I understood that she had been dying just a few meters from me and I was having a conversation with her killer instead of trying to help her? I don't think I would have made it through this if Kyle wasn't with me. The pain was beyond anything you can imagine. I doubt you could ever feel it. Because to feel this you need to have loved somebody and I don't think you are capable of love"

"Jessi I…"Cassidy tried to interrupt her but she wouldn't let him

"But still I am going to try. Try to make you understand what you did to me and who knows how many other people. I am going to show you pain Cassidy. I will make sure that you won't hurt anybody else. "

"And what are you going to do" Cassidy almost hissed, his anger overwhelming his fear. How dare this little girl do this to him" What are you going to do Jessi? Are you going to torture me? Kill me? How do you think Kyle will look at you after this? Do you think the Tragers will allow a killer in their home?"

" I don't need to kill you Cassidy" she said in a calm tone that scared Caissidy. He knew that tone. He heard it many times. It was the calm before the storm. The single moment of calmness before you are ready to strike" You are already dead"

'What?"

"Didn't you feel it? I guess not. They are quite small you know. It took me a while to catch them and prepare the special gel that allows them to survive in the aquarium. When you took Sarah's ring again they stung you. Four of them judging by your hand"

"What are you talking about?" Cassidy almost screamed. He was beginning to feel the itch in his arm even more strongly. What had she done to him?

"They are called Carukia barnesi. Also known as Irukandji jellyfish.They are very small and rather fragile creatures but they have a very special venom" Jessi had come close to him and spoke directly to his face" It can cause what is known as the Irukandji syndrome. Do you know what it does? No? Well at the beginning nothing. You barely even feel the sting but after about half an hour…..I won't bore you with the details but essentially it causes pain. Pain the likes of which you have never experienced. It will last for hours, even days if you can survive that long. But that's not all. It also has an interesting side effect. It causes a feeling of impending doom. You will lose all hope of salvation. You will know that you are going die. You will wish to die"

"You can't do that" Cassidy didn't bother to hide the fear in his voice anymore.

"You did it you yourself Cassidy .You chose to kill my mother .We reap what we sow. But don't worry I won't leave you alone. I have something for you"

She quickly pressed a few buttons of the computer opening an audio file and he heard

"Don't forget to buy milk Jessi" it was quite clearly a recording of Sarah voice

'It's an old voicemail. It's one of the few things I have left of my mother" said Jessi in a heartbroken voice clearly affected by the recording" It will remind you why you are here"

"Please don't do this" begged Cassidy as he saw that she was heading for the door

"You can scream if you want. I made sure the building is empty. Goodbye Cassidy"

And then she was gone. Cassidy tried to struggle in his bonds but they were too tight.

"Can anybody hear me?" he screamed as hard as he could but nobody answered

"Don't forget to buy milk Jessi" he heard the recording again. It seems that Jessi left it on a loop

"Can anybody hear me?" he tried again but to no avail
