Dun, dun, Dunnnnn! Glad you're still with me! Hope you like this chapter!
Charley paced around his bedroom, back and forth, hoping his mother would come home soon. Meanwhile, his girlfriend Amy had come over a short while ago for an impromptu visit.
"Will you stop pacing?" she chuckled, raising an eyebrow at him "You're gonna wear a path through the floor"
"Sorry" Charley apologized, stopping in front of her "I'm really worried about my mother. She should have been home by now"
"Relax, sweetie" Amy reassured him, pulling him down next to where she was sitting on his bed "Maybe your mom stopped to get something on the way home"
Much to her chagrin, she heard the familiar approach of the van pulling into the driveway. Charley practically bounced off the bed and bounded out of the room, leaving a slightly confused Amy, who followed him downstairs.
"Oh thank god!" Charley exclaimed, seeing his mother walk into the house with a box of pizza "I was worried sick"
Jane laughed, setting the pizza box on the coffee table in the living room.
"Aren't you sweet?" she teased him, ruffling his hair "Hello, Amy. Haven't seen you in a while. How are you?"
"I'm good, Mrs. B" Amy replied sweetly, smiling "Your son has been avoiding me as of late"
"So I've noticed" Jane said, giving Charley a look "I hope you'll stay for dinner"
"I'd be glad to" Amy giggled, patting Charley on the head "That is, if Charley still wants me to"
"Yes" Charley said quickly, glancing out the living room window which faced Jerry's house "You'll be safe in here"
"Safe?" Amy inquired, amused "Safe from what? Evil Ed?"
"Y..yeah" Charley stammered, turning back to his mother "Can you help me with something in the kitchen, mom?"
"Um, okay" Jane agreed, shrugging before following Charley into the kitchen.
"I saw Lily tonight" Charley whispered after making sure Amy wasn't in earshot.
"Oh? Good" Jane sighed in relief "I'm glad she's okay"
"No, mom" Charley hissed, his eyes wide with fear "She's not okay. She's a vampire...Jerry turned her"
All the colour drained from Jane's face as Charley filled her in.
"What are we supposed to do now?" Jane asked quietly, folding her arms across her chest nervously "Will she come attack us?"
"I don't know" Charley replied, thinking "All I know now is that you should take back the invitation you gave Lily to enter this house. That should protect us"
"Are you sure there isn't anything else?" Jane inquired, looking nervously at Jerry's house through the kitchen door.
"Well Lily just wanted to make sure we wouldn't go after Jerry" Charley said, remembering Lily's words "So I think we should try and avoid them as much as possible"...
... While Jane and Charley were having their conversation, Jerry and Lily were outside in the back yard, listening to their every word.
"Smart boy, Charley" Jerry said mockingly, his arms folded across his chest "Staying away from us is the best thing to do"
"Yes" Lily agreed, snickering evilly "That way there will be no interference...but what about Evil Ed?"
"What about him?"
"When I bumped into Charley earlier, he was thinking about a fight he had with Ed earlier on" Lily explained, her lips pursed in thought "I searched his thoughts deeper and found out that Ed dragged Charley to see Peter Vincent this afternoon"
"In other words, you think Evil Ed is a threat" Jerry mused, laughing darkly "Maybe it's time we made that little pipsqueak our next victim"
"Wait" Lily hissed, sniffing the air "I smell someone else in that house...whoever it is, they smell exquisite"
She shifted to the living room window to see Amy standing uncertainly, waiting for Charley and Jane to return to the room.
"My, my" Lily breathed, enjoying Amy's scent as Jerry joined her "So Amy is over there too."
"So she is" Jerry murmured, smirking as a plan formed in his mind "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Yes" Lily replied, grinning evilly "How about we capture both Amy and Ed? And instead of taking them out right away, how about we make Charley choose between them?"
"Why?"
"Charley ditched Ed as soon as he started seeing Amy" Lily explained, tapping her nails against the windowsill "Charley has a lot of guilt over that, but at the same time, he feels like he's not good enough for Amy"
"Interesting" Jerry remarked, rubbing the back of his neck in thought "In other words, you want to torture Charley...why?"
"For the fu-"
Lily stopped when she heard someone at the front door of her house. Hissing at the interruption, she shifted to get a better look. She gasped when she saw who it was.
"So this is Buck" Jerry murmured, sizing up the man ringing Lily's doorbell "This is the idiot who treated you like furniture and left you?"
"Yes" Lily replied, glaring at the intruder "It's funny...I've always wanted to exact revenge on him"
"Then do it, princess" Jerry commanded, grinning evilly "Show me how much you hate him!"
"With pleasure!"...
... Buck Aishford stood on his ex-fiancee's doorstep almost in a drunken stupor as he kept ringing the doorbell.
"LILY" he yelled, banging on the door "Open up, you bitch!"
Since he had left her for Leila Brasso, the receptionist from the advertising firm he worked for, his life had turned to shambles. Leila ended up stringing him along while she was seriously dating an up and coming UFC fighter.
Then, some coworkers found out about his relationship with Leila, and went straight to the Office Manager, who promptly fired him on the spot.
Since then, he'd taken up a job dealing poker at Excalibur Hotel and Casino as well as the bottle. Instead of blaming himself for everything that had happened, he believed Lily put a curse on him and wanted to confront her when he had the chance.
Taking a swig from the big bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey, he banged on the door again.
"LILY, answer the fucking door! My life is ruined because of you" he screamed before taking another swig.
"My, my" a familiar female voice mused from behind him "Long time no see"
Buck whirled around to see none other than his ex-fiancee standing there, her arms folded across her chest. As she came closer, he noticed that she looked much different than she did the day he packed up and left her.
"Issat you, Lily?" he slurred, squinting at her in the darkness "Issat you?"
"Yes, Buck" she said mockingly as she stared at him "It's me...unless you were expecting the quiet, meek girl you left eight months ago"
"Fuck you!" he exclaimed, taking another swig of Jack's "You put a curse on me! You ruined my life"
"No, Buck" she corrected him calmly as she stood close to him "I didn't ruin your life. You ruined it all on your own when you thought with your cock instead of your brain"
"You bitch!" he snarled, lunging at her. Lily easily side-stepped him, grabbing a hold of the back of his neck in an iron grip...he stumbled and dropped his bottle of whiskey on the stairs.
"Did you honestly think you could come here and try to hurt me after every bit of humiliation you put me through?" Lily taunted him, using a sharp nail to draw a line from his earlobe to his jugular "As you've noticed, I've changed. I'm not the meek girl who took all your bullshit."
"Shut up" Buck hissed, trying in vain to get out of her grip "You deserved all of it...you were so desperate to be with me that you asked to be humiliated''
"Stupid, dumb Buck" Lily taunted him again, yanking his head back so she could see his eyes "You're nothing but a pathetic excuse for a man who thinks that fucking around will get him what he wants"
With that, she flashed him a toothy grin, exposing her fangs.
"What the fuck?" Buck screamed, scrambling to get away from her "You're some kind of psycho bitch monster!"
Lily didn't reply...she gripped him harder and yanked him close before burying her fangs in his neck. Upon impact, blood gushed out of the punctures, overflowing her mouth as she hungrily drained him.
As he twitched, near death, Jerry appeared, applauding Lily's efforts.
"Bravo" he commented as she pulled her mouth away from the wound "That was an excellent show, lover"
Lily smiled at Jerry, her mouth and cheeks covered in Buck's blood...not to mention her cleavage.
"There's plenty to share" she replied, licking the blood off of her lips. Jerry smiled, advancing on her.
He wasted no time in licking off the remnants of the blood from Lily's cheeks and mouth before licking it off of her breasts. He then watched Lily as she sucked the blood from her fingers in perverse pleasure.
"Let's go get Evil Ed" he said finally, after a brief silence...
