Someone Just Wouldn't Listen…

Epilogue

I remember reading that Mahatma Gandhi had once said, "I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill."

That is a lie.

There are many things in life that I am prepared to kill for, and none that I would willingly die for. So, as wise as Gandhi is, he is wrong.

And unfortunately for Chase van Buren, it's too late for her to realize that. By the time I was through with her, I don't think she'll be realizing anything anytime soon.

A part of me wished that Chase had looked into my eyes as I ran her down, that she would finally realize how dead serious I had been this entire time. That no matter who I was on the outside, the true and real me was completely different.

After all, she had been dying to find out who was stalking her a few days ago. It nearly killed me to deny her that last wish. Nearly.

But even I'm not going to pretend that I haven't been waiting to do this for a long time, that it wasn't my deepest pleasure to bring her down to her knees.

She deserved it. After all, I gave her a reason to get out of town. Three chances, three warnings. Pity she didn't take them seriously. I would've thought the cat had been a fairly clear foreshadow about what was to happen to her if she had stuck around, but obviously not. She did make the wrong choice, after all.

Just goes on to show you how fragile life is.

But the best thing is, nobody will know what I've done. They may suspect something at first, but as soon as they find all that alcohol in her system, it'll be over. She'll be just another person in the group of teens that died drinking while driving.

Oh, get over your whimpering selves. Honestly, it wasn't even that hard. She did half the work by crashing into that tree because of those Rohypnol pills I slipped into her drink. All I had to do was be the one to finish her off with a hit to the side.

It's so easy to make these things look like accidents. I've done it before, and I'm going to do it again. Because even though I hated Chase the most, she wasn't the first to go, and nor will she be the last.

So, this now leaves me with a difficult decision: who's next?

I wish I could say that it all ends here, but I won't. I may be a killer, but I'm not a liar.

And if you've ever seen a rubber band, you'd know how I feel. The more you stretch it out, the more the pressure builds, until it just snaps.

I like to think of myself as the rubber band. Every single mean, petty thing everyone's ever done to me has been stretching itself out, until I finally couldn't take it anymore.

So, who is it going to be?

Maybe Blake, who has annoyed me far too much in this past week and has the potential to destroy me? Or Jade, who is the very embodiment of the uber-bitch? She's done some shitty things in the past, and I would dearly love to be the one to take her down.

In the end, everybody who has ever hurt me is going to find out just how big of a bitch Karma is in the form of yours truly.

And if you think I'm crazy now, just wait, because it's only going to get a lot worse.

It's time to take things to the next level.

AN: Important! Please Read.

First off, I would just like to thank everyone that read this entire story from beginning to end. To those of you who reviewed or are going to review these last chapters, I want to let you guys know how much I appreciate it. Anyone who's an author knows that the best thing you can receive is feedback from your readers. I've read every single review multiple times, and they always give me fuzzy feelings and make me want to write faster. I know it's tiring to review, but all the support has truly made me so happy, and it makes me wish I knew each and every one of you, so I could thank you in person. So, here's a shout out of thanks to everyone. You guys are truly incredible.

I know the ending to Infamous leaves it open for a sequel. All the details have been planned since the beginning, and I didn't feel the need to change any of it, so that's why it doesn't feel completed. Now, the question is: do you guys want a sequel? I'm asking this in all honesty. I'll be entering my junior year in high school in about two weeks, and will probably not have time to write at all, in between SAT and the SAT subject tests, not to mention AP classes. Updates would be about once in 2-4 months during the school months, and most of Book Two would probably end up being written in the summer, like this year. If the majority just do not want to wait that long, I would be more than happy to write a oneshot, explaining everything about the past, Jade's relationship with the Solemnities, and who Chase's stalker is (It's been all planned out, and WILL make sense, trust me!) If that's the general agreement, I could do that too. I definitely wouldn't leave it open like that. I just wouldn't be able to tell who ends up with who, and some of the finer details.

On a different note, the full cast has been posted on my profile. It's just pictures of who I would imagine the characters to look like. If you have different suggestions, feel free to PM me, or something.

Finally, please, please, please read and review one last time. I really hate nagging about the review issue, but it's my first work of fiction ever, and also the last chapter, so I would really love it if everyone told me what they thought. Write me about who was your favorite character, who you think is the stalker, who you want to end up with who, what you want to happen, or anything. Or, if you didn't like it, that's fine, and let me know how I could improve. At the very least, at least let me know about the sequel issue somehow via review or PM, and I will take into consideration the people on both fanfiction and fictionpress and put up one more author's note late in the first week of September.

Thanks so much again, for reading that entire long thing, and for all the support! I truly hope you guys had as much fun reading it as I had writing it.

Love, JT
