*deep sigh* So… Hate to break it to you, younger me, but uh… I didn't go trick-or-treating this past Halloween. Instead I invited all eight of our friends over for Halloween cake. And other things. Costumes were required, don't worry. So TECHNICALLY freshmen year was our last year trick-or-treating, but… We were supposed to be a sophomore at the time so we'll just say that.
Alright! Ah, Halloween. Also known as "kids get free candy surrounded by scary stuff day!" My parents say they want this to be my last year of trick or treating because 8th grade was my dad's last year and the 1st year of high school was my mom's! D: (Technically both of those work for me since I'm supposed to be a freshman. :/) What part of "free candy" don't they understand?! D: They want me to be SOCIAL and go to Halloween PARTIES! With PEOPLE! D8
Anyway, whoo hoo! Bein' the 10th Doctor for Halloween! :D Time to put my sonic screwdriver to use. :3 Anyway further, hope y'all enjoy! :) Also, since I recently started posting Never the Same... (Tonight, in fact! :D)*evil laugh* I'm Finn's girlfriend. :D (KIRSTI BE JEALOUS LOL [you know I love you]) So that's a little twist...;)I hope it scares you! *evil laugh* :D Naty, partial credit goes to you because of our Stalker Sid RP and our RPs in general. So remember, partial credit goes to Lunan95! :)
No one really knows the details of how it began. Of course, no one believed him anymore. In fact, everyone were tired of hearing about it.
"Siddeley, you've been going on about this since we were children! You really ought to let it go! No, you need to let it go!"
Siddeley turned away from his oldest friend, sat down, and lowered his head. "No one ever believes me... You used to!" He exclaimed, snapping his head back up. "Finn, you used to believe me." Siddeley desperately reminded him.
"Up until we were twelve." Finn scoffed. "Really, Siddeley, it's childish."
"It's not childish!" Siddeley whined, jumping to his feet.
"Right, which is why you just complained like a child." Finn smiled, then sighed. "I'm just worried about you, Sid."
"You should be! With Stalker Siddeley creeping around in the middle of the night—anything can happen!"
Finn sighed, again, and walked away, shaking his head. Siddeley sat back down.
"Hey, Sid. What's the matter?" Asked a familiar voice a few minutes later. Siddeley lifted his head up.
"Oh, hey, Stace." He greeted. "Finn's the matter." He sighed.
"Great, what'd he do this time?" Stacy joked, taking a seat down next to him.
"Well… You know about Stalker Siddeley?"
"What?" Stacy laughed.
"Oh, that's right, I guess you wouldn't… Well, it basically started when Finn and I were children." Siddeley began.
"Oh, Siddeley, do leave her out of this…" Siddeley and Stacy turned their heads to see Finn leaning against the door frame of the jet with his arms crossed.
"Oh, come on, Finn, I'm curious." Stacy told him with a shrug.
"It's simply some childish paranoia." Finn reassured.
Siddeley finally snapped. "No, it's not!" he snapped, getting to his feet.
"Siddeley, would you please, just—"
"No!" Siddeley yelled.
"What?" Finn asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No! No matter what you say, how many times you say it, I won't!"
"Siddeley, I'm just—"
"I don't care!" Siddeley continued. "Why don't you believe me?!" He demanded.
Finn was nearing his breaking point. "Because it's completely unrealistic!"
"Leland believed me!" Siddeley shot at Finn, knowing that what he said would be salt in the wound.
Finn recoiled and his expression was briefly a shocked and hurt one. It quickly evolved into an angry one.
"And Claire believed me! Remember?" Siddeley went on.
"Stop it, Siddeley!" Finn ordered, his voice almost breaking.
"Remember—remember how she would help me look for him at night when the house was dark?"
"Please, Siddeley, stop it!" Finn begged.
"Remember what her last words were?!" Is what he responded with. "Both hers and your mother's."
"Siddeley!" Finn cried, desperate for him to stop.
"Her dying wish was that you look out for Leland and me! You've obviously failed with Leland, are you going to just let me die, too?!"
Finn was obviously enraged but at the same time seemed too hurt to yell back at him.
"I'm sure that even your parents believed me!"
"No, they didn't! And neither did yours! If your own parents didn't believe you, neither will I!"
And with that, Siddeley turned around, retreated into the cockpit, and slammed the door.
Finn fell down onto the seat next to Stacy.
Finn sighed. "I'm sorry." He said after a minute of having his head in his hands. "I'm sorry that you had to see that."
Siddeley's POV
Without the knowledge of either of the other two spies, I silently slid the cockpit door open a crack to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Who's Claire?" Stacy asked in a quiet voice.
"My youngest sister." Finn replied, head still down.
"Then that's all the explanation I need…" Stacy sighed, probably remembering what she was told about Finn's family's fate.
"Finn… If you're crying, I don't care. You know that, right?" Stacy hesitantly put her hand on Finn's shoulder.
"I don't cry." Finn replied, looking up at Stacy.
Stacy sighed. "But really, what started all this? I've never seen you two… E-ever…"
"A hallucination of Siddeley's mind. "Stalker Siddeley" is… Apparently a shapeshifting, ghost-like figure that Siddeley is convinced has followed him ever since we were children. He, um… He says that it's usually a shadow with glowing red eyes."
Huh, he actually remembered the description of Stalker Siddeley in a nutshell, I thought.
"Have you ever stopped to think that maybe he's not making it up? If he's gone on about it this long… I know he's Siddeley, but…" Stacy frowned.
'Oh, yeah, he's Siddeley. He's bound to go on about nonsense.' That's what they all think…
"I just don't know. I… I just thought he'd grow out of it, by now." Finn told her.
With a quiet sigh, I slowly slid the cockpit door closed. I sat down in the pilot's chair.
"Just some childish paranoia. A hallucination of Siddeley's mind." Hallucination. I thought with a dark chuckle. Paranoia. I sighed again.
"No they didn't! And neither did yours! If your own parents didn't believe you, neither will I!" I heard replay in my mind. I felt a tear slide down my cheek. Finn was right, the only people who ever believed me about this… Monster… Are dead. Even the people that didn't believe me are mostly dead.
He's always right. Even my parent's didn't believe me… Hell, I doubt Cammie believes me anymore…
I put my head in my hands as I started to cry. My parents… Finn "doesn't cry" but I know the part about Leland and his mother really hurt him… Well, it was supposed to! That's what he gets for not believing me!
I should probably apologize later, I thought bitterly.
I wiped my eyes on my sleeve and looked out the window. There's no way Stacy will believe me, now. Not after she's talked with Finn…
He's out there somewhere. And he's after me… He's after all of us…
Sooooo? How ya like it so far? :) Yeah, this was more of an angst-y chapter more than scary… But still, it's how Finn and Sid feel. It's all part of the plot. ;)
Mind leaving me a review? :)
