Chapter 9: Nightmares Return
Three weeks later...
"Well, Serena, you seem to be healing fine and the pregnancy test came back negative... Do you have any questions?" The doctor said.
"No... Thank you so much Doctor..." Serena said.
Serena breathed a deep sigh of relief and collapsed against Hotstreak`s strong powerful frame... Hotstreak helped her to her feet and they left the hospital together... Once they got to Virgil`s house, Serena got nervous... She could hear Sharon trying keep her father, Ritchie, and Virgil calm... Hotstreak kept his arm around Serena as he knocked on the door. Now it would have been nice to see them had it not been for the murderous looks in they're eyes...
" Are you ok Serena?!" Virgil asked.
Serena nodded and looked down quickly... She couldn`t help but think of what could have happened if her pregnancy test would have come back positive... Serena and Hotstreak started explaining how Replay had tricked her into trusting him enough to let him get close enough to rape her... Serena actually kept her head down for the most part and Hotstreak was the one who told of most of what had happened. They`d talked before they left the warehouse earlier and decided they leave out the fact that Serena already had given herself to Hotstreak before Replay got to her...
"Why don't we all just sit down and watch some nice tv to get our minds off of what happened... What do you say Serena?" Sharon said worriedly.
Serena nodded and they all sat down on the couch, Serena nestled against Hotstreak`s side. They turned the tv on and a news reporter was talking...
" SerenaTsukino came home today after being in Hotstreak`s care for three weeks... We have yet to have an interview with her but, our search of the juvenile hall led us to a tape that was in the camera of the room where this nightmarish horror took place... This is the first time the press or anyone has seen this tape... Roll it" The reporter said...
They watched in horror as Serena`s rape took place on live tv before they're eyes... When it got to where Hotstreak burst in the door, Serena looked at him in terror...
"Please! Please don't kill me! I aware I'll do anything you want!" Replay screamed on the tv...
"Anything?!" Hotstreak asked darkly...
"Yes! I swear! Anything!" Replay screamed frightened.
"Burn in hell..." Hotstreak said darkly...
Mr. Hawkins, Virgil, Ritchie, and Sharon stared in horror as they watched Hotstreak burn Replay alive... When the video was over and the reporter was back on... She was nearly speachless at the horrors on the video... Every person in the city of Dakota just witnessed the brutality of Serena`s rape... And the firey end Hotstreak had made sure her rapist got...
"He taped it... He taped everything he did to me..." Serena whispered standing to her feet... " Why would he... How could he..."
Serena`s world turned dark then and she felt a pair of strong familiar arms catch her before she sank into darkness...
Five days later, Serena awoke in the hospital toseveral concerned faces looking down at her... Hotstreak, Talon, Ebon, Kangor, Ferret, Shiv, Puff, Onyx, Virgil, Ritchie, Sharon, and Mr. Hawkins were all in the hospital room with her...
"Where... Where am I ?!" Serena asked... She was beginning to panick...
It's alright Serena, you passed out five days ago because of what Replay did to you and because of the video he made that the television reporter found and played it on live tv... When you saw the video you passed out... Today is the first time in five days..." Hotstreak said stroking her cheeks...
Three days later Serena was discharged from the hospital. It took some talking with Mr. Hawkins, but Hotstreak convinced him to let Serena stay with him on weekends and weeknights visit him until eight o` clock in the evenings on school nights. Serena was very thankful when she heard this but she did not feel safe unless she was with Hotstreak... The next day, Serena returned to school and the whole school was buzzing about the video of Serena`s rape that was broadcast over every news station in Dakota.
" I can`t beleive Hotstreak actually killed him!" Frida was saying, " Are you afraid of him now?!"
" A little..." Serena admitted, " But he would never hurt me..."
Everyone steered clear of Hotstreak for a while because of what he`d done to Replay, but they didn`t have nothing to worry about... As long as they didn`t think about trying to hurt Serena that is... Actually, Hotstreak liked the sort of respect they gave him and, even the mayor thanked him for getting rid of Replay because he was a menace to the city... Hotstreak decided to go for a walk by himself for a while and told Serena to stay with Frida and Daisy until he got back... As he was walking, he heard a womans voice in his head...
(Protect my daughter, please keep her safe... There is a darkness that will try to kill her... Please Hotstreak! Do what ever is nessicary to keep her alive!)
Hotstreak grabbed his head and squeezed in an attempt to stop the visions from comming but they were already playing in his head... What he saw terrified him... Serena was standing in front of him with her head down, she looked up at him and smiled and started to walk towards him when a hateful womans laugh echoed around them...
(She`s going to die!) The evil voice said in his mind...
The earth crumbled around Serena and thorny vines sprang up snaking around Serena`s body and began glowing red like blood... Serena`s eyes became glazed over as the thorns drained her life away... Hotstreak screamed her name over and over again and she weakly raised her hand, trying to clasp his...
( Goodbye... Hotstreak... I love you...) Serena said...
Suddenly the vines slashed her body everywhere and her blood pooled around the vines... The vines suddenly let Serena out of they`re hold and Serena was falling... Hotstreak caught her just before she hit the ground. With tears in his eyes, he screamed her name over and over again as he held her bloody body in his arms. Serena was dead... His only love was gone once again...
"Hotstreak... Hotstreak! Wake up!" Serena shouted.
Hotstreamk came to and looked down to see a very frightened Serena staring up at him... Not realizing that Daisy and Frida had followed Serena when they heard Hotstreak screaming Serena`s name, Hotstreak grabbed Serena and kissed her with heated passion...
"Serena... Your alive! Thank God!" Hotstreak said shaking, " I thought i lost you!"
Hotstreak sank to the ground with Serena in his arms and began crying... He didn`t know what that vision meant... But he would not let anyone take his Serena away from him... Not ever...
"I`ll never let you go..." Hotstreak said, " I`ll die first before I`d ever anyone hurt you..."
Hotstreak began glowing again, white flames engulfing his body... Frida and Daisy were terrified for they`re friend and ran back to get help... But when they came back, Hotstreak and Serena were gone...
(WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK SO FAR? I HOPE EVERYONE LIKES IT. I CAN`T WAIT TO WRITE MORE!)
