Back in Black (NC-17)

Well, when I wrote that chapter, I had just watched the Gilmore Girls episode A Tisket A Tasket. You can guess how I chose who the boyfriend was.

Who do you think I learned that from?

That's okay. I know you're not that into horror.

I will tell you this much about the final chapter. The Figure is someone you haven't met.

Okay, I know I said it would be on Monday before I got the last part posted, but I got a little bit of an opening in my schedule. As an All Hallows eve-eve surprise, here is the fifth and final chapter of Back in Black!

Chapter 5

“Chris?” Jared asked. “You're the one who's been killing everybody?”

“Jensen was puzzled. “Jared, who the fuck is this guy?”

“He's my psychotic ex.” Jared said. “Last night when you asked if I had been in any relationships, I lied. It started out fine, but he became increasingly violent. I dumped him when he pushed me down the stairs at school.”

“Yes,” Chris said. “After I told him that nobody leaves. me. He pointed to the couch. “If everyone would please sit down. It would make things a whole hell of a lot easier.”

As they walked toward the couch, Tom took off into a run toward the back door. Chris swung his ax as Tom passed him, and drove it deep into the boy's back.

When Tom fell, dead, Chris pulled the ax out with a sickening squish. Not that anybody in the room could hear it because everybody was screaming.

After the shock of seeing your best friend killed passed over Jensen, it was Jared who snapped him out of it. “We've got to run,” was all he said. He and Jared each took one of the girls by the arm, Jared taking Alexis and Jensen taking Danneel; and they ran out the front door.

When they turned to the side yard, it looked all clear. “Do you guys think you can make it to my car?” Jared asked. Jared's car was parked in the field about 50 yards from where they were standing. “Yeah, I think we can do it,” Jensen answered, also answering for the girls. They took off toward the vehicle.

As they got to the end of the house, Chris stepped out from behind and blindly swung his ax. The blade hit Danneel right in the stomach with enough force to nearly cut her in half.

Chris then grabbed Jensen by his shirt and dragged him into the barn.

Jared turned to Alexis and retrieved his car keys, placing them in her palm. “I saw a house about a mile away when we were coming up,” he said. I want you to go there and call the police.” Right as Jared finished with his directions, she took off in the direction of the car and Jared ran to the barn.

When he walked inside, Jensen and Chris were nowhere to be found. “You were always weak, Jared,” Chris called out. Jared looked up to see him in the loft. He went to the ladder and started to climb.

“Jensen isn't part of this,” he yelled as he climbed. “Whatever it is, it's between you and me.”

When he got to the top, Jared saw that Chris had Jensen on his knees by the edge of the loft, a knife to Jensen's throat.

Chris knelt down to Jensen's level. “You know why I killed all of your little friends?” he asked in a menacingly mocking tone.

“Oh, I don't know,” Jensen replied sarcastically. “Is it because you're a psychotic, knife happy prick?”

“No. That's why I had fun doing it. I did it because of him.” He pointed to Jared.

Jared was slowly walking toward the two. “Jared needs me,” Chris continued on his rant. “He's not strong enough to handle any other relationship.”

Right now, Jared was less than five feet from his ex and hopefully his soon to be boyfriend.

“That's enough, baby,” Chris said, standing back up. He brought Jensen up with him.

“I just want you to know that if I can't have Jared,” Chris raised the knife. “NOBODY CAN!” As he started to bring the knife down, Jared lunged for Chris, grabbing the knife. The force of impact between their two bodies sent them over the edge of the loft.

Jensen climbed down the ladder as fast as he could. When he reached Jared, he was back on his feet, holding his left arm close to his chest. Chris was still on the ground, the knife sticking out of his throat.

Jensen took Jared in his arms. “I think we should start seeing other people,” Jared said to his ex's dead body.

“What happened to your arm?” Jensen asked. “It broke his fall,” Jared jokingly replied before slightly bending down and pressing his lips to Jensen's. There was nothing this time to interrupt the kiss as police sirens started to close in on the house.
THE END

Author's Notes:
As I said earlier, this was based on an original horror story I had written an outline to, but felt that I couldn't write the full story.

Jared's line about moonshine was the exact same thing the first (and only) time I drank it. Unlike Jared, I didn't even try to drink anymore. You seriously could've cleaned rust off of a bumper with this stuff.

Chris the killer isn't the Chris that you know from other J2 fics. He was the killer in the original story. He is my own creation.

This story, and the original outline, was inspired by slashers of the 90s, where the people always found some stupid reason to go to the place where people are being killed, and there's always that one hot girl who doesn't get to say much and gets killed about 10 minutes after they introduce her (In this case, Danneel.), and the killer seems to be able to teleport, even though it's just one human guy.

Thanks, Teri and Moria. I'm glad you guys enjoyed it.

Soundtrack:
This is both music that I listened to while writing, and music that somehow figures into the story.

It's Not You by Halestorm (The theme for the fic. It has that nice hard rock sound that I love to hear in horror.)

Tiffany Blews by Fall Out Boy (The song that Jared was listening to in his car at the beginning.)

Wild, Wild West by The Escape Club (The song playing in The Winchester)

Light On by David Cook (This one I was listening to while writing the tree house scene, and found that it fit.)

Barenaked by Jennifer Love Hewitt (Yes, that Jennifer Love Hewitt. It's still a good song that I thought fit quite well with the story.)

Only The Good Die Young by Def Leppard (I felt it fit the mood for how the boys were feeling about Chad.)

The links are to youtube videos of the songs. I tried to get music only videos for most of them so they'd load up quickly for the Dial Up prisoners among us.

Yay for you posting the last part already! Wah for it being over already! And you killed Welling! :( I was hoping he'd live. But at least the boys made it....

And i was wondering, when I saw the name Chris, if it was supposed to be Kane or an OC. Thanks for the notes and clearing that up!

I really enjoyed this, Shane. Lotta gore and a happy ending for our boys. It's my kind of horror fic. By the way I think it's fitting that you have J Love Hewitt on the soundtrack what with her being one of the stars in the 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' movies.

Once more, I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. I tried to keep it with a good gore level, but not over the top. (That's why I cut out Milo's death. That, and I thought it would be a good way to get the boys into the barn the first time.

sometimes the scariest stuff is the stuff you can't/don't see, where you imagination supplies the details, you know?

But yeah, Milo's death was almost scarier because of the no details, and Alexis's terror.

This was honestly the most fun I've had writing a fic. I love coming up with different gory deaths for these characters.
