Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm soooo glad you guys liked it! I think Jerry is getting closer to making Lily his! XD
"Shackler's Revenge" is by Guns N' Roses and is found on the album "Chinese Democracy". The song and lyrics are the property of Axl Rose. I don't own this song.
After watching Jerry disappear into the crowd, Lily turned to Jane and Doris, that feeling of weirdness washing over her again. She sensed that what she was feeling was getting on the verge of making her pass out.
I've got a funny feeling, there's something wrong today. I've got a funny feeling, and it won't go away.
"Jane, Doris" she said in a hoarse voice as she swooned "What just happened?"
Before either woman could reply, Lily's eyes rolled back into her head and she fell to the floor, succumbing to the blackness that summoned her...
... Jerry pressed himself against the rafters in the ceiling, watching the lowlife who vied for Lily a moment ago . As he suspected, the insolent worm had slipped two rufilin into Lily's vodka and cherry coke. He could still taste the 'date rape' drug faintly on his tongue as he thought of a way to attack. With the violent mood he was in, the schmuck wouldn't be having an easy death.
I got an itchy finger and there'll be hell to play. I'm gonna pull the trigger and blow them all away.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Doris and Jane in a panic as they tried to revive Lily, who had meanwhile succumbed to the effects of the rufilin. Without another thought, he landed discreetly on the dance floor, rushing to where they were...
... "Oh my God!" Jane exclaimed, checking Lily's pulse "Do you think she was drugged?"
"But...that's impossible" Doris said reluctantly, lost in thought "The only person she was with was Brad and he bought her the drink"
"Brad drugged her" a familiar male voice said from behind.
Doris saw Jane look past her with widened eyes and she whirled around to see their mysterious neighbour standing there.
"You mean to tell me my cousin, whom I've been close to all my life, is actually a douchebag?" Doris asked heatedly, challenging Jerry.
"I'm, uh, sorry to tell you this, but yeah" he replied simply, unsmiling. "I saw him put rufilin in her drink"
"Doris" Jane began, biting her lip "I don't think Jerry has a reason to lie about that"
"That bastard" Doris seethed, slapping her fist in her palm angrily "I'm going to rip him from limb to limb. What kind of a weak man drugs a girl's drink to get her to like him?"
Don't ever try to tell me how much you care for me. Don't ever try to tell me how you are there for me.
"Let's get her to my van" Jane suggested, trying to think clearly "We need to take her home"
"I'll carry her" Jerry volunteered, picking the unconscious girl up "Lead the way"
"I'll meet up with you guys later" Doris said in a dangerous voice "I'm going to go find Brad and give him a boot to the ass!"
With that, the blonde stormed off, leaving Jerry and Jane to take care of Lily.
"This way, Jerry" Jane said evenly, leading him to the exit of the club.
They wordlessly walked through the now-empty corridors, making their way. Every few seconds, Jane would glance at Jerry to see his facial expression. At the moment, he remained emotionless, looking at the girl in his arms.
I don't believe there's a reason I don't believe in. I don't believe there's a reason I don't believe in.
'He must have some kind of feelings for her' Jane thought smugly as they entered the casino 'Why would he rush to help otherwise?'
"Rufilin is a very dangerous drug" Jerry said suddenly, as if breaking out of his thoughts "She will be out of it for a while. I suggest you take her to your house right away and keep her hydrated."
"How do you know this?" Jane asked, trying to make conversation because she hated awkward silences in tense situations.
"I, uh, trained to be a paramedic" Jerry replied, following Jane out of the automatic doors to where the van was parked "It wasn't my thing...that's why I'm doing construction now. I used to get called to a lot of scenes where drugs like rufilin were involved. It wasn't a pretty sight"
"Oh" was all Jane had to say in reply as they stopped at her van "Well, thanks for helping us out tonight. I don't know what we would have done if you weren't there to direct us"
"It was nothing" Jerry said abruptly as Jane unlocked the doors "Just watching out for Lily"
After that, he said nothing more as he gently put Lily in the passenger seat and buckled her in safely. Jane got into the driver's side and started the ignition. But, before she could turn to thank Jerry again for his aid, he was gone.
I've got a wicked demon, his hunger never fades. I've got an empty feeling, I won't be home today.
"I really don't get this guy" Jane murmured, shaking her head in confusion before pulling out of the parking lot "Just when I think I've figured him out, he surprises me"...
... Brad slunk to his hotel suite, fuming at how his plan to drug Lily into submission had failed. And to make matters worse, his cousin Doris came at him, screaming about what he had done. When he tried to come up with an excuse, Doris punched him in the jaw. He was sure he wouldn't be caught in a crowded club but didn't count on the fact that someone had tipped Doris off.
But, the worst part was turning around to see Lily in a sexual dance with a dark stranger who seemed to have some kind of power over her. At least, that's what it looked like.
Undoing the top button of his pink dress shirt, Brad entered his suite, dying for a stiff drink. He headed to the mini bar to see what he had left. Opening the mini-fridge, he selected a bottle of Absolut Vodka and opened it.
"Looks like I will have to call for an escort" he sighed to himself, picking up his cell phone and pressing number three on his speed dial.
"Thank you for calling Eros" the agency's secretary greeted him "How may I help you?"
"It's Brad M" he said, sitting on his bed with the vodka bottle in his hand "Please send me my usual"
Don't ever try to tell me how much you care for me. Don't ever try to tell me how you are there for me.
Eros was one of the best escort services on the strip. He was on a first name basis with many of the girls sent to him, and was a very good customer. Unfortunately, he treated the escorts roughly, sending them back, shaken, with bruises and scrapes. He was definitely a sadist by nature and was going to treat tonight's escort as roughly as he was going to treat Lily if he had been successful in the first place.
"She will be sent to your suite, Mr. M" the secretary said before he hung up on her.
Unbuckling the buckle of his belt, Brad was about to take a swig from the vodka bottle when he heard a knock on the door.
'That was fast' he thought, glad he hadn't locked the suite door when he came in. Little did he know that it would be the catalyst for his untimely death.
"Come in" he called impatiently, setting the bottle of vodka down on the nightstand.
The door burst open, revealing the same man who was dancing with Lily earlier. And, judging by the look of fury on his face, Brad knew he was in serious trouble.
I don't believe there's a reason I don't believe in. I don't believe there's a reason I don't believe in.
"What do you want?" Brad asked casually, undoing his tie and taking it off.
The man didn't reply...he just advanced on him with predatory keenness. This unnerved Brad a little bit. He slowly stood up, his eyes locked on his unexpected visitor as he slowly backed away. The man towered over him by several feet.
"L..l..look, man" Brad stammered, looking at the seemingly dangerous man with utter fear "I didn't know she was your girlfriend"
"You're pathetic" the man said in a calm voice that betrayed his anger "You can't get a date by yourself so you try to get a little bit of assistance from rufilin. Well, guy, that was a stupid thing to do. I'll give you one second to prepare for your doom"
No-one is stopping you from doing what you want to do.
"Oh shit" Brad exclaimed as the man flashed him a fang-tainted smile. He became too paralyzed with fear to move.
"One" the vampire said coldly before pouncing on him like a tiger...
... Jerry held Brad in a death grip, enjoying how the lowlife was shrieking like a girl as his grip on the man's neck was getting tighter and tighter.
"So, guy" he said in an even calmer tone as he looked upon his victim with predatory amusement "I'll give you a choice...would you like a slow, painful death or a quick, painless one?"
"Q..qu..quii"
Jerry cocked his head slightly, a low evil chuckle escaping his throat.
"Wrong answer" he hissed, ripping Brad's throat out with his sharp teeth.
No-one is stopping you now...stopping you now...
Brad gurgled as blood sprayed everywhere...on the bedspread...on the plush white carpet...and on Jerry's face. Turning his victim around, Jerry gnawed off the back of Brad's neck, almost decapitating him.
Still barely alive, Brad tried to make a sound but it came out as a blood soaked gurgle. Jerry threw him down like a rag doll and stood over him with an evil grin on his blood stained face.
I don't believe there's a reason I don't believe it. I don't believe there's a reason I don't believe it. I don't believe there's a reason I don't believe it. I don't believe there's a reason I don't believe it.
"I'm almost done with this masterpiece" Jerry murmured, enjoying Brad's struggle to stay alive "Just one more finishing touch"
With that, he rammed his fist into Brad's chest cavity and yanked out his heart. Watching Brad's eyes become glossy with death, Jerry casually tossed the organ behind him, laughing as it landed next to the full bottle of vodka...
