Chapter 3

Leah's subconscious

*---*

Leah cleared her throat. "So, um, so what d'you do for a living?" she asked, trying to make conversation.

"I'm a virus, baby, I just entered this body a few weeks ago. Don't worry, baby, I aint gonna take this body down, it's about time I settled down in one place for a while. It gives me a chance to meet cute chicks like you," said Thrax, smirking at Leah.

Leah flushed deep red. "Wha- uh, thanks." she said, pushing back her hair out of her eye.

"I'm guessing you're a white blood cell then, baby?" said Thrax.

"Yes. I just work as the Mayor's assistant, the job isn't as easy as you think. Apparently the Mayor is one lazy ass, if I might add." said Leah giggling. Thrax chuckled.

"I don't give a damn about the Mayor anyway," said Thrax grinning.

"I'm glad to hear it," said Leah.

Rachel suddenly came bounding over to Leah. "Leah, I thought you said you were coming?" she said. She suddenly spotted Thrax, she eyed him up and down, not impressed. "Am I interrupting anything?" she asked.

"Well, no -"

"Yes." said Thrax, calmly. Rachel looked taken aback by his response. Leah looked at him surprisingly, it was the way he said it, like he didn't really care what people thought of him.

"Well, I-I guess I'll see you in a while then, Leah?" said Rachel, ignoring Thrax completely.

"Yes, yes you will," said Leah, trying to sound reassuring. Rachel then marched off, giving nervous glances back at Thrax.

"You didn't have to say it like that..." Leah mumbled, but she sounded quite impressed.

"I was just being honest, baby," said Thrax, smirking.

Leah smiled at him, suddenly her nervousness had completely disappeared.

Maybe coming to this club wasn't a complete waste after all....

*---*

Leah walked back over to the bar, Thrax was still sitting in the same spot, waiting for her.

"Hi, babeh, back so soon?" said Thrax, grinning.

"The others left early," said Leah sitting next to him. "We have all this time for ourselves."

"Wanna just go see where I live?" said Thrax.

"Are you only saying that so you could have your wicked way with me?" said Leah, giggling.

"That's only if you want me to, baby," said Thrax, grinning.

Leah chuckled. She had no idea why she brought that up, but he didn't seem to be put off by it. Either way, she agreed to go see where he lives and they both exited the club.

"You've got quite a nice place here, Thrax," said Leah as they entered his house.

"Yeah, it is quite the place, aint it, babeh?" said Thrax, smoothly running his claw along her neck. She felt mesmerized by his touch, letting his claw run lower and lower, across her collarbone. He kissed her neck passionately, playing with the bra straps, she felt his other hand caress her hip, pulling gently at the material on her skirt. Thrax turned her facing him and kissed her hungrily on the lips, his hand resting on her back while the other smoothly touched her thighs. Leah felt herself trembling with excitement, she pushed off his trench coat. "Shouldn't we be doing this in the bedroom?" she said breathlessly. Thrax nodded and she followed him up to his room. Once they were inside, Thrax continued kissing Leah zealously, she removed his grey sweater and ran her fingers across his chest. He then removed her shirt, bra and skirt. He kissed her collarbone passionately, making his way down towards her bosom. Leah stiffened as she felt his tongue slide over the centre of her breast, she placed her hand at the back of his head, pushing him a little closer. His kiss roughened, drawing slight moans from Leah. He then stopped to remove his underwear, likewise her own. He lay her down on the bed and pushed himself hard into her, Leah winced at the pain, she yanked his hair.

"T-Thrax-" she stammered breathlessly. The pain then eased as she got used to it, enjoying the sensational feeling it gave her. A few hours later, Thrax collapsed beside her, feeling breathless. He kissed her neck smoothly.

"How was it?" he mumbled.

"Very good," she said breathlessly, her heart hammering against her chest. "You don't mind if I use your shower?" she added.

"Feel free to use it, baby," said Thrax.

Leah gathered up her clothes and made her way towards the bathroom.

*---*

"C'mon, there's something I wanna show you," said Thrax going upstairs, Leah followed him into his bedroom. She gazed around at the room, remembering the time she was last in here. She felt her face flush as she remembered what happened. Thrax opened the drawer of his cabinet and pulled out a black chain with glowing white objects inside it. Leah frowned when she saw it.

"Like it," said Thrax, twirling it around his finger.

"What is it?" said Leah.

"It's a chain filled with the DNA beads from my victims, very precious they are to them, they're kept up in the hypothalamus. Snatch one of these babies and my victims heat up like a sidewalk on a summer day," said Thrax, smiling proudly at the chain.

"What - what type of virus are you? Ebola?" said Leah, nervously.

"Ebola's a case of dandruff compared to me. No, baby, you're looking at one of the most deadliest viruses anyone's ever see this - this here little DNA bead comes from a little girl in Riverside, California, didn't like to wash her hands. Took me three whole weeks. And this one, nice lady in Detroit, Mowtown - six days flat. And there's this old guy in Philly - I killed him in seventy two hours," said Thrax, grinning. Leah looked worriedly at him.

"S-seventy two .... hours!?" she said, astonished.

"Yeah, I'm gettin' better as I go along, baby, but the problem is I never set a record," said Thrax angrily. Leah stared at him, frowning. Thrax chuckled.

"Don't worry, baby, I ain't gonna take down Frank, I told you before remember..." said Thrax walking over to her.

"Y-yes," said Leah, calming down.

Thrax then, without warning, slyly but smoothly wrapped the chain around her neck. She felt tense by his sudden touch, her heart started beating fast.

"Looks good on you, babeh, you wear it well..." said Thrax, kissing her neck, his hand touching her breast eagerly. He ran his other hand along her hip, sliding it teasingly up her skirt and groping her between her legs. Leah gasped, feeling overwhelmed by his touch. No, don't let it happen again! Think about Ozzy! Just - don't - Leah pulled herself away from Thrax. "Th-Thrax, I - I don't think it's a right time t-to be doing stuff like this -" said Leah hastily, fixing her skirt and trying to remain cool, though her whole body was trembling from that rather short event.

"Why, baby? Didn't you want to?" said Thrax.

"Well - I- I did but-"

"You have a look of guilt on your face," said Thrax cutting her off, he walked slowly over to her. "What're you hiding?"

"I - I - nothing!" said Leah desperately.

"You're lying, I can see it in your eyes, c'mon, spit it out," Thrax demanded.

"It's-it's just...Ozzy," Leah blabbed nervously.

"What? Who's 'Ozzy'?" said Thrax, frowning.

Leah took a deep breath. "Ozzy, Osmosis Jones that is, is my boyfriend." said Leah sadly. "I - I don't know what came over me when I met you - but I knew what I was doing when I had sex with you - there was just something about you - you make me feel nervous when I'm around you, it's something I never really felt before - I like it, but the fact is, I don't know what to do. I don't want to hurt Ozzy, but I don't want to stop seeing you!"

"I can only give you two options - Break it off with him, or carry on this relationship behind his back," said Thrax.

"You're kidding right? I don't know if I could do either of them!" said Leah hopelessly.

"You'd have to, baby, otherwise the other option would be to pretend this whole thing never happened between us," said Thrax, tugging at the chain around her neck.

"Now I definitely wouldn't take that option," said Leah, half-chuckling.

"Then which is it, baby?" said Thrax, tugging the chain a little harder so that she was pulled a little closer to him.

"I- I think... I don't think - I'll tell him about this..." said Leah unsurely, Thrax smirked.

"If that's what you want.... tell me, baby, did you and this Jones make love? Cuz what happened on Friday night seemed like it was your first time having sex." said Thrax, drawing Leah closer.

"No we didn't. And yes, it was," said Leah.

"Good. I'm glad to hear that, babeh," said Thrax, kissing her vehemently. He pushed off his trench coat and removed Leah's skirt and the rest of her garments likewise his own. She felt him caress her between her legs, causing her to gasp yet again.

"Why do you torture me like this?" said Leah, giggling breathlessly.

"I ain't torturing you, baby, think of it as arousing you instead, I love hearing your moans," Thrax chuckled.

"Insufferable tease," laughed Leah. "So, Thrax, was it your first time having sex that Friday? Cuz to me, it didn't seem like it," Leah added.

"Nope. I've done this a lot before, only it never felt as good," said Thrax, smirking. His mouth then took over from where his hands were.

"Whoa - ok, ok this is new - uh, Th-Thrax, I - I think that's enough - " said Leah, half-laughing.

"What's the matter, baby? Too much for you?" said Thrax, chuckling.

"What? No, no - well, ok maybe a little - " said Leah quickly.

"We could just carry on doing this normally," said Thrax.

"Sure," said Leah.

*---*

"Ozzy?!" said Leah worriedly, she looked at Thrax. "Thrax what're you-"

Ozzy slid out from the germs' clutches and kicked Thrax away from him and the other germs, he slid over to Drix.

"What kept you?!" he asked him. Rex and Roxy rushed over to Leah.

"We didn't expect you to come!" said Roxy.

"What's going on? Ozzy?" said Leah confusingly. Ozzy looked at her.

"Here's your proof! Thrax was plotting to kill Frank!" said Ozzy, Leah gasped, unable to believe what he said. Drix got out a large grenade from his cabinet.

"This is only used for the most stubborn of cold symptoms," said Drix, he tried to place it inside the opening in his gun arm but struggled. "Ugh - darn it!"

"Get them!" shouted Thrax.

"What the - ahh!!" Ozzy was suddenly attacked by a group of germs, Rex and Roxy rushed in to help. Ozzy kicked away some of the germs, one guy pinned him down, trying to strangle Ozzy.

"Drix - I could use a little help here!" said Ozzy as the germ was trying to stab him in the throat with a knife. "Gimme that thing!" he added, taking the grenade off Drix, he pulled out the pin with his teeth and hurled it at them.

"Oh!" cried Drix with fright, he pulled Ozzy away and grabbed Leah by the hand. Rex and Roxy followed them, rushing out of the way as the grenade exploded. Surrounding everything with this cold, soft, light blue substance and popping the zit. Drix got up from the ground and shook the substance off of him, shivering with the cold. Ozzy stared up at the large opening where the zit had been.

"Whoo! Mr. Thrax has left the building!" he said happily. Leah got up and rubbed some of the blue substance off her arms, she walked over to Ozzy.

"Ozzy, I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry..." said Leah sadly. "I should have known from the start... How could I have been so stupid..."

"Whoa, hey - Leah, girl, it's ok - it's over now. It's all over - forget about him. Just forget all about him, ok? C'mon, let's get back home, we'll talk about it then," said Ozzy, putting his arm around Leah. The others followed him out of what was left of the club.

*---*

"Hai babeh, did you miss me?"

"Th-Thrax!" said Leah, shocked to see him still alive and not even injured. He smirked devillishly.

"So I guess you've figured it all out... thanks to Jones - so you just left me there right? Just because of it!" said Thrax sourly, clenching his fist. "So all that was just nothing - how fucking sad!" he added angrily.

"You were gonna kill Frank! You lied to me!" said Leah hotly.

"It worked didn't it? It could have all worked out -- but then you chose to betray me - and now you're back with Jones, you fucking thought everything would be back to normal - well that's all gonna change, baby - you're gonna pay for doing such a fucking stupid thing like that!" Thrax yelled, he grabbed Leah, his hand tightly over her mouth, blocking out her cries for help. He ran out of the office.

The place Thrax was taking her to was the very place she never wanted to set foot in again: The old torture chamber. She struggled and kicked, and tried to break free from Thrax's clutches, but her struggles proved useless. At the very end of the chamber was a dark, musty old cage built into the wall, Thrax stopped in front of it, he grabbed Leah's arm.

"This'll teach you not to fuckin' mess with me!" said Thrax, he dug his claw along her arm, stopping at her wrists. He made sure the heat in his index finger wasn't too hot so that it didn't effect her whole body, it was still hot enough to cause her to scream with the pain. Hot tears ran from her eyes. the pain was unbearable, her whole arm felt like it was being ripped apart. He did the exact same thing to the other arm, her sleeves had been ripped away from the heat, she gazed at the deep marks on her arm, still feeling the pain sting her. Thrax opened the gate and pushed her inside the cage.

"Don't worry, baby, I'll get you out as soon as I've gotten what I need..." said Thrax, shutting the door behind her and walking off.

*---*

"Why did you take me here? What's going on!" Leah demanded angrily, though she felt herself shaking with fear.

Thrax sensed that she was afraid and smirked. "I was sure you would have known already baby, that look you gave me when I told you I wasn't mad about you giving away your disguise - I thought you had me all figured out. I thought you'd have expected something like this to happen."

"How...did you know that..." Leah asked, panickingly.

"You're just sometimes too easy to read." Thrax replied.

Leah bowed her head. "So I'm being punished right? For something that was an accident."

"You need to be disciplined baby. I told you not to blow your cover and you did - you were too careless, that's why you need to be punished."

"What do you plan on doing to me?" Leah questioned him worriedly. She heard that same chuckle from him - obviously the punishment wasn't going to be like last time; which is something she had expected anyway. Thrax turned to the germs on Leah's right.

"Bring her over here - right in front of that table," he said casually, the viruses obediantly did what they were told to do and dragged Leah by the arm towards the table. Thrax gestured for them to remove the chain around her wrists, Leah watched nervously as Thrax pulled out something thin and sharp: A needle.

Thrax took hold of Leah's hand and pinned it down on the hard surface of the table, she struggled a bit, her heart racing as she wondered what that needle was for.

"What's that for? What're you gonna do to me?!" she asked frantically.

"This needle holds a peculiar sort of venom inside it - don't worry baby, it aint fatal." said Thrax, grinning devillishly.

"But you're gonna inject it in me aren't you?"

"Of course."

Without warning, Thrax dug the needle into Leah's arm, injecting the venom into her. She felt the substance burn her, the pain was unbearably immense - she felt as if her whole body was ripping apart from the inside. Her stomach heaved, she prayed she wouldn't throw up - not in front of these people. Suddenly - as if by magic - the pain eased and everything seemed back to normal. She felt a little relieved, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead - was the punishment over?

Thrax didn't let go of her hand, he reached into his pocket and got another another needle - bigger than the last one he used. "This one's the exact same venom - only stronger. Your punishment aint over baby - if you're gonna disobey me then you have to pay for it. I need to teach you to know your place and respect me - accidents mean nothing! That's not an excuse! When I give you an order you follow it!" said Thrax angrily, he injected the needle into the same spot in her arm. The burning this time was more immense - and the pain was eating at her. The ripping feeling became much worse - she felt as if millions of shards of glass were stabbing her insides and that fire at a very high degrees was burning her at the same time. She struggled, swallowing back the vomit, her blood felt cold despite the fact that everywhere else was practically on fire. She felt something spill down at the side of her mouth - blood? No, it was only her saliva. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she shut her eyes tight, gritting her teeth and the pain. She felt like she was dying - correction, she wanted to die from all this that was happening.
It lasted a bit longer than expected, but the pain eased eventually - though this time she still felt a slight burning in her body, and she felt incredibly sick. Leah wiped the saliva from her mouth.

"Is - it - over?" she stammered hoarsely. She was shaking uncontrollably.

Thrax grinned malevolently. "Had enough?"

"Yes! I've had enough! Just please, let me go!" Leah pleaded desperately, tears still spilling down her cheeks.

"There's no way I'm gonna do that - you need one more shot baby, you're almost close to becoming so loyal..." said Thrax, he got out a small vile that had the same venom and placed more into the needle. Leah struggled frantically, pulling her hand away from him.

"No please don't do this!! I'm sorry! I'll never disobey you again! Please, Thrax!! PLEASE!!" Leah begged.

Thrax ignored her. "Hold her down and get a cloth." he said to one of the viruses. The others held her tight so that she couldn't break free, she struggled more, the germ came back with the cloth and blindfolded her.

"No, please!! I've seriously had enough!! I'm sorry!! No - NO!!" she screamed, becoming hysterical. Thrax grabbed her hand yet again and injected her arm.

Her screams of agony filled the room....

Leah woke up with a start - she felt overwhelmed by the series of events she remembered from the past, from when she made her mistake: meeting Thrax. Leah hit her fists against her forehead. "Why? Why now all of a sudden?" she questioned herself irritably. The mind was very strange, that's all she could say; why did the memories choose to come flooding back at this point? It was too painful - remembering it all. Leah felt her arm and neck throb again underneath the bandages, she clenched her fists. Maybe it was something to do with the marks? Seeing as they were still there to remind her of it all - but then that was another question to be answered: why the marks came back in the first place?

Leah decided not to bother herself with these stupid questions at the moment and lay back down on the bed to get some sleep.

*---*

Back in Leah's subconcsious

"You like this, don't you baby?" he said slyly, smirking.

"Well - it's not that, it's just - that chain is so ....peculiar..." said Leah.

"And I guard it with my life..." said Thrax, chuckling.

"Is it that important?" said Leah, raising an eyebrow to him.

"Yes."

"How important?"

Thrax chuckled again, wrapping the chain around Leah's neck and pulling her close to him.


"Well, baby...let's just say whoever tries to take it from me - it will be the last thing they'll ever do.." said Thrax.

*---*

"Oh...it's that chain you were showing me on Sunday," said Leah, suddenly remembering how scared she felt after the story he had told her about his victims. "Th-Thrax...how exactly do you manage to get these DNA beads in the hypothalamus?"

Thrax raised an eyebrow at her. "I break the container they're in.."

*---*

Like it," said Thrax, twirling it around his finger.

"What is it?" said Leah.

"It's a chain filled with the DNA beads from my victims, very precious they are to them, they're kept up in the hypothalamus. Snatch one of these babies and my victims heat up like a sidewalk on a summer day," said Thrax, smiling proudly at the chain.

*---*

Now - you're next baby..." said Thrax, tightening his grip around her neck. She coughed, saliva running out from her mouth, she clawed at his hands, trying to pry them off of her neck. She spotted the chain and grabbed it off of his hands.

"You want this so bad - then go FETCH!" said Leah, she threw the chain away, it hurtled down towards the beaker of alcohol - lost forever.

*---*

"Well, when Thrax threw me down off the eye, I was hurtling down towards that beaker of alcohol and grabbed onto the edge of it, preventing myself from falling into the liquid. I was hanging there for quite a while - thinking about what to do, when all of a sudden I saw that chain falling down towards me, I caught it just before it landed into the alcohol and pulled up to safety, I jumped down onto the tray and wondered how I'd get back to Frank. Suddenly one of the nurses picked up the tray in time and I was close enough to jump down onto one of Frank's shoes. I made it back to the mouth safely and returned that baby back to the Hypothalamus!" said Ozzy proudly.

That chain.... so peculiar...

*---*

That Chain! Leah woke up yet again from her sleep, she looked at her clock; it was 3:45 am. She rubbed the bridge of her 'nose' and dwelled back on the series of events from the past she dreamt of - the chain...

"I wonder... do they still have it kept up in the Hypothalamus?" Leah asked herself quietly. She didn't know why, but she was very keen on getting the chain back - she needed to go down to the Hypothalamus and ask, getting permission from Tom Colonic of course. Leah heard footsteps in the hall again and whispers:

"Rex - have you seen my nightgown?" Roxy whispered.

"Uh - I think it's still in the bathroom where you left it." said Rex, also whispering.

"Oh good - ... I hope it's not wet." Leah heard Roxy go open the door to the bathroom. "Shit it is - ah well, I'd better leave on the radiator to dry off."

"God I'm tired.. want some coffee?" said Rex.

"Nah - caffeine keeps me awake."

"Really? I need caffeine to help me sleep.."

"Strange - I always thought caffeine kept people awake."

"Not for me."

Leah listened to them talk for a long while until Roxy headed straight back to bed and Rex went back to his bedroom with his coffee. The house was once again silent - depressing for Leah. She lay back down on the bed and went to sleep.

~---~

It was 8:00 am the next day when Leah got up, she changed out of her "pyjamas" into a turtle-neck purple sweater and black jeans - perfect for hiding the bandages that covered those ugly looking marks. She walked down the stairs and into the kitchen to find Ozzy was awake; chatting to Drix, they were surprised to see Leah up early today.

"Hey Leah, you're up early today!" grinned Ozzy, patting the seat beside him.

"I'm just going somewhere today, so I thought it was essential to be up early," said Leah sitting down on the seat and giving Ozzy a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Oh? Where are you going?" Ozzy asked her.

"I'm just heading down to Cerrebellum Hall - I wanna talk to Tom Colonic about something," said Leah uneasily.

"A'ight, that's cool," said Ozzy, smiling. Leah wasn't sure whether he believed her or not, after what she did to him she wondered if he even trusted at all! She cleared her throat and got up from her seat.

"Well - um, I-I'm just gonna go know, ok?" said Leah giving Ozzy another kiss on the cheek.

"Sure thing, baby - I'll see you later," said Ozzy. Leah smiled at him and exited the house.

Drix stared at Ozzy. "If I'm not mistaken you don't trust her do you?"

"The hell are you talkin' 'bout Drips? Of course I trust her!"

"It's - whatever -," sighed Drix. "I was just curious is all. After what happened last year I figured you couldn't trust her as much anymore."

Ozzy groaned. "'Kay fine you got me, I'm just a little worried is all. But I'm trying to trust her one hundred per cent! I don't think Leah's being untrustworthy - she's only going down to talk with the Mayor!"

"Ok you've made your point - I was just being silly." said Drix bring his empty cup of coffee to the sink.

Even though I don't trust her one hundred per cent - I still want to.

I want to be able to trust her....

Starting right now...

The weather was even colder today as Leah headed down to Cerrebellum Hall, the cold wind blew wildly in her face; tossing her hair back. She entered Cerrebellum Hall and made her way to the Tom Colonic's office; she knocked on the door, waiting for an answer. Tom opened it and smiled when he saw her.

"Ah, good morning Leah, what brings you here?" said Tom, letting her in.

"Good morning, sir, um - I was just wondering, out of curiousity - uh - is- is that chain still there?" she blurted out idiotically.

Tom blinked in confusion. "Um, chain?"

"I-I'm sorry - what I meant was the DNA chain Thrax had - is it still kept in the Hypothalamus? Or do one of the cells that work there have it kept somewhere else?"

"Oh! Right - that chain, well; I asked one of the cells that work there to keep it in the Hypothalamus but I'm not sure where they've kept it. I'll give you permission to go down there yourself and ask them."

"Thanks sir," said Leah, smiling.

"You're welcome. Um, I'm just curious as to why you want it though?" Tom asked her.

Leah felt her heart thumping underneath her jumper. "Well - it's really for personal reasons - I just wanted to see it once more." said Leah, blushing.

"All right - well, I don't want to keep you waiting, I'll see you later then."

"Yes - bye, sir." Leah headed out of the office and towards the elevator that would lead her to the Hypothalamus. She breathed slowly, trying to get her heartbeat back to normal - she couldn't give Tom Colonic a reasonable answer as to why she wanted the DNA chain when she didn't even really know herself. She arrived at the Hypothalamus and opened the door that read: Do Not Enter. Authorized Cells only.

The cells that worked there stared in surprised as Leah entered the room. One cleared his throat.

"Um, you can't come in here, Miss," he said, trying to sound stern.

"I have permission from Tom Colonic to be here - I need to ask you to do me a favour," said Leah calmly.

"A favour? What do you need me to do?" he asked.

"I'm wondering if you could give me that DNA chain you kept here? I just wanted to bring it back to Officer Jones - he said he needed it for investigation," Leah lied, the cell looked surprised.

"Oh - Officer Jones? Oh well yes, of course, right this way," he said walking over to one of the large cabinets, he opened it up and took out the now empty DNA chain and handed it to Leah. "Here you are, it's a peculiar object if I say so myself."

"Yes, it is. Thank you," said Leah, smiling at him.

"No problem, if Officer Jones needs it then it must be important," said the cell, he then continued with his work.

Leah exited the Hypothalamus, made her way out of Cerrebellum Hall and headed straight home.

*---*

Leah hid the DNA chain in the pocket of her jeans as she entered the house, Roxy and Toxin were in the kitchen playing cards and the men were nowhere to be seen.

"Hey Roxy, Toxin - where's the guys?" Leah asked them, kicking off her shoes.

"Oh them - they went over to vist Harry and Gerry - they're having a 'Guys Only Meeting' as Rex and Ozzy like to call it. I think they're trying to get us back from when we left them all alone in the house," giggled Roxy.

"Men are so immature," sighed Toxin, placing down a card. "Pick up two cards, Roxy."

"Oh darn it."

"I'm just gonna be in my room ok? I'll be down in a while," said Leah heading up the stairs, she sauntered into her bedroom and closed the door behind her. Leah felt the chain in her pocket and pulled it out, looking at it close up for the first time in one year, it was peculiar. With it empty slits, it looked dead. Leah held it up, letting it fall down to its full length, looking at how long it was reminded her of how Thrax used to wrap it around her neck...

"Looks good on you, babeh, you wear it well..."

Leah didn't know what came over her but the next thing she knew, she found herself putting the chain around her neck - almost like it was a necklace of somesort. She stared at her reflection in her bedroom mirror, staring at the chain and how it looked on her. Thrax was right - it did look good.

Leah suddenly shot back into her senses and yanked the chain off, throwing it down on the carpet. She recoiled as if it were a hissing viper, what had gotten into her all of a sudden? Putting that chain on and bringing back those memories. Leah gritted her teeth and snatched up the chain, shoving it into the drawer of her cabinet behind her underwear and bras.

"Why can't you just fuck off!" Leah hissed storming out of her bedroom and heading downstairs.

Why I ever wanted that chain is a mystery to me - but I won't give into it! I won't admit that miss him!

I don't and that's the end of it...

Ozzy is my future right now - he's the one that's worth it all...

Not someone who treated me so terribly

Not someone who kills...
