The Young and the Dramatic: Season Two
Episode 18: Heather Worries for Her Own Safety
Heather shuddered as she sat in her cell, rocking back and forth. It was freezing as night had fallen where she was.
"I have to get back to Justin," Heather said with a sigh, "I have to get out of here,"
An owl hooted throughout the sky, and Heather shivered once more. The cold was getting to her, and she was still in her wedding dress which he was covered in mud, blood, and was tattered a bit.
"Stick it together, Heather," the queen bee reminded herself as she shivered in the dark.
Hatchet gasped, and advanced towards Holmes' silenced body.
"What have I done?" Hatchet mumbled to himself as he fell to Holmes' side. He checked his pulse, and realized that the man that lay before him was truly dead.
"He's gone," Hatchet said, gasping, "I killed him,"
Leaning down by the dead body, he realized what he had done. He remembered the day he met Holmes' and how he reacted so coldly. Then he remembered how just moments ago, Holmes' confessed to killing his wife.
"Holmes," Hatchet said, and then realized another thing.
"Ezekiel's mother's last name was Holmes'," he said, remembering, "Her name was Bethany Holmes'," he looked up, with his jaw hanging wide open.
"O my God; I killed Ezekiel's uncle," he said.
Eva returned from the locker rooms in the gym, and headed towards the front desk. Panting, she took a sip of water from her bottle.
"Nothing like a good work out to get over a relationship," Eva sighed.
"Well, isn't that tragic?"
The fitness buff turned to see Anne Maria approaching the desk. She groaned, and folded her arms, "What do you want, Anne Maria," she asked.
"For you to get the hell of my life,"
Eva gasped.
"You're the one that keeps coming back to me," she said, "It's not my fault that Lightning left town!"
"It's exactly you're fault!" Anne Maria groaned.
Outside Heather's cell, her captor stood before a table with notes sprawled across it. There were pictures of Wawanakwa City, and Heather and Justin sitting happily together at the diner. There was even a laptop playing a video of a tour through Heather's apartment.
"Perfect," the person rubbed their hands together, "Justin will never see any of it coming,"
A loud moan from the room next to the one the captor was currently in came through. They smirked as they unlocked the door.
Heather was sprawled out on the floor, sobbing.
"Please let me go," she screamed, "I don't know what I did to deserve this!"
"Oh, honey," the captor smirked, "It's not what you did. It's what Justin did," they smirked, and swung the door closed behind them.
The sheriff looked around, and stepped out of the room. He stuck the gun in his belt, and surveyed the room. Nothing marked his presence there, so he stepped out. He checked the hallway, and realized he was in the abandoned warehouse.
"I've been here before," he said to himself, and realized it was the exact warehouse that had once held Leshawna, B, Dawn, and Cody. As he walked towards the exit, he realized there was no turning back.
"I have to tell Ezekiel," he nodded to himself, "It's the right thing to do,"
"Then how is it my fault?" Eva asked, and looked around. She realized that many people were beginning to stare, and listen in on the argument.
"You were Lightning's mistress!" she screamed back, "If you wouldn't have done that, then Lightning would've stayed here with me, instead of using the Sluggers as a way out!"
Eva groaned, and walked around to the front of her desk.
"Did you ever think to stop and suggest that maybe lightning just didn't love you anymore?" Eva said, "I knew that it was wrong! I'm sorry, but it was Lightning who cheated, not me!"
Anne Maria groaned, and turned around to face everyone in the gym, "Listen up everyone! I have a little secret about your esteemed gym owner!" she shouted.
"What are you doing?" Eva growled.
"You slept with my boyfriend!" Anne Maria screamed, causing Eva to narrow her eyes at her.
Eva pointed towards the exit.
"Get out of my gym," she said, "Do you realize the monster you're turning into?" she yelled, "Would you want Lightning to see what I'm seeing! Would you want him to realize the monster you are?"
Anne Maria folded her arms, "I am not a monster. You're a slut," she snapped, and turned around on her heels and headed towards the exit of the gym.
The fitness buff's jaw dropped, and she turned to see disapproving looks from her customers. She sighed as they all started to walk towards the exit as well.
And for the first time in her life, Eva felt tears streaming down her face.
Hatchet sighed as he exited the elevator. He noticed that the secretary wasn't in her spot, and he sighed as he passed the desk, and headed down the hallway towards Ezekiel's office.
Pausing at the door, Hatchet knocked rapidly.
"Ezekiel," Hatchet said, and turned the door handle. As he stepped into the office, he gasped as he saw what he saw.
The entire office was trashed from head to toe. Papers were scattered, a desk lamp lay on the floor, shattered, and the desk was overturned. However, a laptop was still running on the desk, with a word document up.
The sheriff walked over to it, and read its' contents:
Too bad you couldn't get here in enough time, Hatchet.
Next on the Young and the Dramatic…
"Hello?" Staci called out, "Is anyone there?"
Two worlds' collide…
"O my God," Josh said, reading the contents of the letter.
And its' not for the best…
Staci shuddered as the lights suddenly went out. She let out a scream, and couldn't see her own hand in front of her face.
They come with dire consequences…
"Help," Sadie screamed, "Somebody helps,"
A/N – Sorry about the wait on this chapter, and its' shortness. But tomorrow, we'll take a break from the whole Duncan/Bridgette/Sierra drama, Heather/Justin mishaps, and the Hatchet/Holmes aftermath. We'll be focusing on three storylines that will eventually all ties together at some point, but won't necessarily be addressed at the moment.
Prepare for a huge shocker tomorrow, folks! I consider Tuesday's and Friday's my cliffhanger days, so prepare you!
