I struggled with this chapter because we -I- had ended it like the way you end a book. But, D came up with an idea and I took her up on it. So, here goes nothing.
Chapter 16- TPOV-Justice.
I paced the room, trying desperately to keep my temper under while the little rat sat there, her hands tied behind her back to the chair, her legs also tied. The only pain I got the satisfaction of seeing her in was when her ankles or wrists were chafed by the too tight leather straps. Yes, they're too tight. I could care less.
"Just let me go." she said in a half-hearted whisper. I spun on her, anger flaring.
"Let you go? Let you go?!" my voice was deadly, breathing hissing between my teeth. I clenched my teeth so hard my jaw ached, but I didn't care. Not now. "You have nerve, Chelsiey. To even think of asking that..." I trailed off. I'd let her imagination run wild. And from the look on her face, it has.
"Thought I'd find you up here." I spun around to see Simon leaning against the door frame, a lazy grin on his face."You have her?"
"Why wouldn't I?" my tone was filled with annoyance at his distrust. Simon shrugged.
"You never know with you." I scowled at him. He just smiled
"Will you please just let me out? I promise, I'll leave and you'll never see me again."
"How about a-" Simon was cut off by the cheers from people downstaairs.
I raised my eyebrow in question. "Chloe's kissing Derek."
"Ahh" I nodded my head in understanding. "So it worked?"
"Caleb called out, Rae encouraged and-"
"Wait! Rae who?" My mind buzzed, trying to figure out why that name sounded so familiar.
"Rachelle. Rochelle Rodgers."
"You mean the fire half demon girl?"
"Yes." Simon nodded, a smile creeping across his face.
"Hmm... bring her up here."
"Are you going to hurt her?"
I scowled. "No, Simon. I just want to see how much control she has." His eyes lit up in as he realized what I meant.
"Be back in a sec." He took off down the hall.
Grinning, I turned back to Chelsiey.
"Who's Rae?" Fear made her eyes wide and her voice tremble.
"An old-" I stopped, trying to think of what she was. She wasn't a friend.
"An old acquaintance." I turned back to the door to see a teenage girl, not much older than me, leaning against the door. She saw me looking at her and she walked into the room. "Hello Tori."
"Well, it is the one and only Rachelle Rodgers. The one that betrayed Chloe, and for that, I thank you." She didn't look much different. Maybe a little taller, but her eyes were still copper, her skin still had a perfect tan and her eyes still shone with a slight gleam. And she still looked like she could lose a few pounds. I snickered at that.
"So, Simon said that you needed me for something?"
"Yeah, but let me give you some background and then you'll understand why she needs to die." I jerked my head over to miss blonde in the middle of the room.
"Okay..." she looked over at the demon.
"Raechelle, meet Chelsiey Bridget the girl from B12 who wrecked havick between Chloe and Derek." I took a deep breath before going into the wierd and adorable history of the hopelessly lovable couple. "So, Derek and Chloe have been dating for almost ,what? Two years now? Anyways, they've been together for awhile and probably always would be... except miss idiot over here decided to destroy that."
"Hold on. Derek and Chloe are dating?' Rae's eyes flashed with curiousity and her face had disbelief written all over it.
"Yup. Any-hoo, they were this totally cute item and then this thing over here decided that it was over."
"Envy makes you do crazy things!" thing shouted, embarrassment and frustartion clear in her voice, her face, and the way she struggled against her bonds. A book came up from one of the bookshelves and smacked her hands. Thing went silent and froze.
"Liz?" I called out uncertainly. A pen and paper landed on one of the desks in the room, we were in one of the six bedrooms in this house, and the pen wrote something. The scratching of the pen on paper filled the quiet for a few moments. Then the paper flew up and stopped a few inches from my face, so I could read what was written.
'Hey Tori.'
"Oh my gosh, Liz! It has been forever!"
'Only a couple of weeks'
"It still felt like forever." I can imagine Liz laughing. "So, how much do you know?"
Her response took a minute, 'Just that this demon needs to be taught a lesson! I mean, sure, I'm normally the sweet girl, but she stepped over the line.''
"Yeah, no kidding." someone cleared their throat. I remembered that Rae was also in here and probably didn't know about Liz being killed. "Oh, hey Liz, you remember Rae, right?" I gestured over to the spoken of girl.
'Oh right! Hey Rae! Long time, no see, huh?' she showed Rae the paper.
"Yeah, I guess." Rae said uncertainly. "So, you're dead, right? Dr. Davidoff killed you?" I'm pretty sure Liz winced. Being dead was a touchy subject for Liz, even though she had come to terms with being so.
'Yeah.' was all Liz said. A heavy silence filled the room that not even Chelsiey interrupted.
I finally spoke up, "Hey, so you want to help us?" I asked Liz.
'Absolutely.'
"You in?" I turned to Rae.
"Of course, but I would like to give Chloe a birthday present first." she said with a shrug.
"Sure, what is it?"
"My turn at a round of karaoke." we all laughed, except for the girl in the center of the room.
Ugh. That was absolutely terrible, but I needed something done, so here it was. Maybe I can move on to more interesting things now. Oh, and I have a question...
Should I do a Twilight/Darkest Powers crossover, a Strange Angels/Darkest Powers crossover, or a Percy Jackson/Darkest Powers crossover? My next chapter will give you all the summaries, I just want opinions.
Toodles.
