Chapter Twelve

Chloe's Vision

Meanwhile, in her dark cold cell down the block, Chloe lay curled up on a bench, her eyes red and puffy from crying. She couldn't believe she got sent down the block because those evil slags had been bullying her.

"Bastards!" she muttered "all of them! How dare they send me down here! It wasn't my fault! Maxine and Frances, how fucking dare they!" she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth and tried to control her anger, but she was still fuming. She was just as angry at Nicholas as well for bringing her down here and Sylvia.

"He should have stood up for me! I thought he liked me!" She curled up tighter "how could he! I thought he cared for me!" "He doesn't!" said a voice from within the cell. Chloe's ears pricked up, "what!?" she said "who said that!" she then felt a chill down the back of her spine.

She slowly sat up and looked around the room, it was all chilly and there was a sense of evil within the cell. She looked up and what she saw made her almost too frightened to scream, there in front of her stood the ghostly form of Buxton the Mongoose.

Buxton smirked, "hello Chloe" she said "h…h….how can you….what the…!" cried Chloe, she was so shocked she couldn't place her words right, "what am I doing here eh?" asked Buxton, Chloe nodded speechless. "Many reasons" said Buxton; her breath was coming out like an icy mist.

"You're supposed to be dead!" cried Chloe, finally finding her voice at last, "we killed you! Me and the other murderesses! We killed you!" Buxton nodded "yep, you sure did, I'm dead alright" "and it was good riddance too!" spat Chloe "you should have gotten the death sentence for what you did to those poor immigrants!"

"I did what I did" said Buxton "I never cared about those stupid girls!" Chloe pulled her knees up to her chest "shut up Nonce" she said "why don't you just tell me why you're here or fuck off!" Buxton crossed her arms, "ok then Butcher Girl" she said "I'm not exactly here to hurt you, I'm here to do something worse!"

Chloe felt a little afraid, "like what?" she asked dreading the answer, "to tell you about your crime and how no-one likes you" taunted Buxton, "a lot of people hate you more than they hated me! We have a lot in common you and I" "I'm nothing like you!" spat Chloe "I never forced underage frightened girls into the sex trade!"

"But you committed a bloody crime" smirked Buxton "and destroyed many lives!" "Like you didn't!" snarled Chloe "to those poor girls" Buxton's smirk never left her face, "after your crime, your father, all your friends and relatives, they don't want anything to do with you now!"

"But others" said Chloe "they still want me as a friend, the murderesses, Ellen, Jenny and Julie, Rouge" "You haven't got any friends!" said Buxton "no-body likes you! You're a bloodthirsty, cold blooded bitch!" Chloe covered her ears as Buxton said those horrible things "Murderer!" Buxton hissed.

"This is only a dream!" said Chloe inside her head, "this isn't real!" she looked up at Buxton as the mongoose continued to taunt her and say such horrible words. She looked up, her blue eyes blazing "this is only a dream!" she said loudly "this isn't real!"

Buxton kept taunting her and making nasty comments "Murderesses, Outcast! Unwanted! Disgrace!" "You're doomed girl!" shouted Buxton, "like me! You're gonna fry in hell!" Chloe's eyes widened in terror "you'll have your fun now in mortal life!" spat Buxton "but when life is done! A nightmare waits for you!" she then began to laugh evilly.

"NNOOOO!" screamed Chloe "you're not real Buxton!" she stood up and stamped her feet "you're nothing but a ghost! A figure of my imagination!" "What about Nicholas!" said Buxton nastily "I bet he doesn't want to hang around you anymore! You kicked him pretty hard, and I'm not just talking about his shins! But his heart too!"

"Fuck off!" screamed Chloe "haunt me no more! Leave me be!" but Buxton kept laughing and tormenting her, "Go away!" Chloe screamed "leave me be!" As she screamed she suddenly heard the door unlock. As the door opened, Buxton's ghost vanished.

She looked towards the door breathing heavily as Nicholas ran in, "Chloe!" he cried "are you ok?" Chloe looked up at him, she was still breathing heavily from Buxton's appearance and she was still angry at Nicholas for sending her down the block. "Nicholas" she snarled, Nicholas looked back at her, he knew he was faced with an angry prisoner and Chloe was fuming.

So Buxton's Ghost came to torment her, but was it a dream or reality, and how is she gonna act towards Nicholas? Find out in the next chap!
