DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN EASTENDERS!
A/N: I'm sorry this took so long. Yes, I do have the chapters, and yes, I'm lazy. And sorry! I'm VERY sorry! Please forgive me! …I haven't updated since the 7th of September? Has it really been that long? Anyhow, I'm sorry you had to wait so long, so I'll shut up and let you enjoy the story!
(One more thing – a lot of things on EastEnders have changed since I wrote all this and the future chapters, so a lot of the recent characters in EE won't appear until much, much later on!)
Roxy walked up to Darren.
"I heard of your premonition at the cause's meeting yesterday. Why didn't you say anything, or tell Shirley? You're as good as the side, you're a murderer!!" shouted Roxy.
"You should think before you start coming out with all these accusations." said Darren, coolly.
"No way! The fact is, Shirley's dead, and it's partly because of you!" said Roxy, angrily.
"Think that, if you like, but it isn't true. Why told you, anyway? About the premonition, about how I saw it coming?" asked Darren.
"Ronnie." said Roxy.
"And who told her?" asked Darren.
"I…um…I don't know. I never asked. She just came out with it…" said Roxy.
"Well, I suggest you ask her, because I never told anyone. I promise." said Darren, walking away, thunder overhead. Then, suddenly, a downpour.
Roxy rushed back to Jack's flat.
O O O
"Hello." said Max.
"Huh?" asked a random person.
"I heard you sell crack. Is that right?" asked Max.
"No. I'm a policeman. Prepare to be arrested!" said the person, getting out a pair of handcuffs.
"Goodbye." said Max, getting out a knife and killing the policeman.
Max noticed it was raining.
Then he walked back to the secret location.
O O O
"Hey Ronnie. Darren told me to ask you how you knew about Darren's premonition. He said he told no-one else, but he knows you know. Spill it, how did you know?" asked Roxy.
"He knows I know, I'll grant him that. He's a pretty clever kid, that Darren. I can't tell you yet. I will, once it is necessary, not before." said Ronnie.
"Tell me? Did you see the premonition too?" asked Roxy.
"I can't say." said Ronnie.
O O O
"Hey, who do you think we should kill next?" asked Max.
"Umm…Jane?" suggested Jay.
"Good call! Does everyone agree?" asked Phil.
"Yes." said Jay and Max.
O O O
Just then, Ronnie woke up suddenly.
Jack stood in the doorway.
"What?" asked Ronnie.
"Nothing." said Jack, walking out of the room.
Ronnie picked up the phone and dialled a number.
"Darren? I need to speak to you. You won't believe what I just saw. A premonition. Well, Max said…" said Ronnie.
Just outside the door, leaning on the wall, Jack was listening to every word Ronnie said.
O O O
"Hey Roxy, I'm thinking of setting up a new and improved gay wedding company – without Ian, and I was wondering if you'd like to help me." said Christian.
"Of course. Now, first of all, I know this guy in Devon who'll help us with the advertising, and…" said Roxy, getting out her mobile and jabbing in a few numbers.
O O O
The doorbell rang.
Jack answered the door and was dismayed to find Darren standing there.
"What do you want?" asked Jack.
"I don't think Ronnie has told you yet. Figured as much. She doesn't tell you much these days, since the side appeared. She knew about Shirley as well." said Darren, walking in and sitting down.
Jack closed the door.
"Well, there's not much TO say, except when there's killings…It used to be nice, life used to be good, until I got wrapped up in this. Ronnie was curious, at first. Then, some nights, I would hear her crying. She would never tell me what was wrong. But I think I know now. She saw those visions of Shirley, Sean, Stacey…And more. From the future. And it's all my fault." said Jack, sadly.
"No. Don't blame yourself. The cause needs a strong leader at this difficult time." said Darren.
Jack nodded.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. Ronnie wouldn't want it. But she didn't want all this either." said Jack.
"None of us did, Jack. Never." said Darren, standing up and walking out of the flat, closing the door behind him.
"Neither did I." muttered Jack, sadly, before sitting down on the sofa.
O O O
"Now, the plan to kill Jane…" said Max.
"Yes." said Jay.
"It's a good plan. Go." said Phil, picking up a pair of chopsticks.
Max and Jay walked out the door with machine guns.
O O O
Jane was serving people in the café.
Ronnie had told Roxy about her premonition of Jane dying.
Roxy had quickly told Christian.
They had machine guns, Ronnie said.
Roxy and Christian took out their revolvers.
They met Jay and Max at the café.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the brother of our next victim…" said Max.
"Not true. We're here to save Jane." said Christian.
"On whose orders?" asked Jay.
"Ours." said Roxy.
Then Jay made a move for the café.
Christian shot him.
Jay was lying on the ground in a pool of blood.
Luckily for Jay, Phil was a medical doctor. Jay was taken back to the secret location by Max, and Jane's life was spared – for now, and the foreseeable future.
O O O
"That was lucky." said Christian.
"Yeah, just think, your poor sister didn't even know what would've been coming to her. Most people aren't even aware the side exists." said Roxy, sadly.
"Yeah well, even if Jane was dead, I still have you…" said Christian.
Then Jane walked in the door.
"That's so cute, bro, but I kinda need this room. Ian's making connections here." said Jane.
"No he isn't. He's fired. Roxy's my new business partner." said Christian.
O O O
"What?!?!" shouted Ian.
"Well, I don't get it either, but apparently you're fired. It's got nothing to do with me. Take it up with Christian or Roxy." said Jane, bored.
"Fine, I will." said Ian, walking out the house.
O O O
Darren looked away.
"I'm not sure. I don't know. It's got nothing to do with me, anyway." he said.
"But don't you want to save innocent civilians' lives?" asked Ronnie.
"Perhaps, but I have a life to think of too! I could be a successful business tycoon, I could be the C.E.O of a global business, I could have my name over everything! Don't tell me you don't want it too!" said Darren.
"I used to think like you once, Darren, before I met Jack, even before I came here for Phil's wedding, the wedding which never happened. Anyway, that's for another time. Darren, you aren't even old enough to do all that yet!" said Ronnie.
"Yeah, but if I die, I never will!" said Darren.
"Please." said Ronnie, as Darren stood in the doorway.
"I'll think about it. Totally no promises, understand if I don't join." said Darren, looking at Ronnie before heading to the door.
"Don't worry. I'd understand." said Ronnie, as Darren walked out the door and closed it behind him.
Ronnie sighed.
"Why doesn't he just join us?" asked Ronnie.
"Maybe he doesn't have other people's best interests at heart. He's far from neutral ground, he's half and half. If he doesn't join, he will become evil. Catch him now, Ronnie. Time is running out." said Jack, appearing from the shadows.
O O O
Jack confronted Darren.
"Hello, Darren." said Jack.
Suddenly, Darren's eyes turned red in colour and he vanished.
Jack stood there, as lifeless as a statue.
Then he blinked and looked around.
O O O
Ian looked at Christian.
"You can't fire me!" said Ian, crossly.
"I can and I have." said Christian.
"And you made ROXY your new partner?" asked Ian.
"No duh." said Christian.
"Right, that's it. BURN IN HELL!" roared Ian, getting out a shotgun.
Just then, Roxy walked in the room and beat up Ian.
"Annoying git." said Roxy, spitting on him.
"Nice work, Roxy." said Christian, hi-5ing her.
"Our plan to beat up Ian worked like a charm." said Roxy, grinning.
O O O
"That Darren is weird." said Jack.
"Whatever." said Ronnie.
O O O
"Darren, please." said Ronnie.
"Oh fine, I'll join. If only for the free vodka." said Darren.
"There's free vodka?" asked Ronnie.
"Yeah, Jack told me so." said Darren.
"Right…well, let's go drink some vodka then!" said Ronnie, smiling as they walked to Jack's flat.
O O O
"HaHa! I watched this weird TV show, just now. I think it was called 'EastEnders', or something." said Max.
"Oh, no. Don't watch that rubbish. It's the worst programme on TV! Who came up with such a rubbish idea?!?" said Phil.
"Yeah, EastEnders is for losers." said Jay.
O O O
"Hey, I heard there's free vodka over at Jack's flat." said Christian.
"Right, let's go!" said Roxy, dragging Christian to Jack's flat.
All in all, the other cause members found themselves strangely drawn to this mystical place – mainly due to the free vodka.
"Welcome to the cause, Darren." said Jack.
"Thanks, mate." said Darren, drinking some more vodka.
O O O
"Jack will pay for what he's done to us. We will take away his girl and his vodka. Prepare plan XI – Kidnap Ronnie!" laughed Max, gleefully.
"Yay!" said Phil and Jay, collecting up some old ropes.
O O O
Ronnie looked up as the side burst through the door.
She sighed and took out her revolver.
"Don't bother - It doesn't work." said Phil, as Ronnie tried to shoot the gun.
Then they tied her up with rope and stole all of Jack's vodka.
Then Max wrote a note :
'To Jack, We have captured Ronnie and all your vodka. There's no hope for the vodka, but if you come to the nearby council estate rooftop at noon tomorrow with £100,000 there might be a hope we won't throw her off the roof. From Max and Co.'
Then the side left, along with said tied up Ronnie.
