Grim Tales Of Mandy Reaver
Chapter 13: Returning Home
When The Reaver Family Made It Back To The Human World...Things Got Tricky.
Apparently, There Car Was Stolen...
So, They Had To Get Back Home By Jackie's Motercycle And Malina's Horse.
They Eventually DID Get Back.
And, After a Week Or So...Things Did Get Back To Normal (Or, As NORMAL As It Can Get, Anyway)
Jack Reaver Went Back To Police Work.
He Managed To Track Down His Stolen Car...But, Decided To Get Another One.
When IT Came To Supernatural Threats, It Was Business As Usual For The Ghost Rider.
Mandy Went Back To Teaching, Which She Loved More Than Anything (Better Than Being a TYRANT RULER)
She Was Enjoying Herself a Little More, Having FINALLY Conquered Her Fears Awhile Back.
She Had No More Nightmares, But She Still Worried About The Saftey Of Her Children.
As For Jackie And Malina...
They Were Closer Than Ever, Completly Inseppretable.
They Worked Hard To hone They`re Rider Skills (Which Jack Helped Them With)
Eventually, They Managed To Fight Supervillains All By Themselves Without Any Help.
It Seemed That All Was Well...
Then, IT HAPPENED.
[Reaver House]
RIIIIIIIIIIING!
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!
Mandy Walks Over To the Nearest Phone And Answers It.
"Hello?
"Mrs. Reaver, This Is Warden Atoms Of The Ravencroft Asylum...
I Do HATE To Bother You, But...Something Has Just Came Up, Something We Need Your Help With.
"What is It?
"The New Inmate To My Asylum, "Prisoner 12202004", Alias "MISTRESS AMANDA"
Has Been Causing Some "Problems", Problems That She refuses To Stop Unless We Give Her Something.
Mandy Squeezed The Phone In her Hand.
"what does she want?
"Nothing Serious...As Far As I Figure.
She Wants To Speak With YOU, Mrs. Reaver...
"ME!?
"Yes...
She Said, Either You Visit Her Now...Or, She`ll Break Out And SEE YOU.
"Can She Do That!?
"I`d Like To Say She Can`t...
But, She`s Had AN "Affect" On The Guards...I`m Not Too Sure.
Mandy Sighed Deeply.
She Really Didn't Want To Do this...But, She Had No Choice.
"tell her i`ll be there as soon as possible.
"Thank You, Mrs. Reaver.
The Phone Hung Up.
Mandy Sighed Sharply.
She Then Walked Through a Hallway To Her Room...
She Stopped At Her Children's Room.
She Looked In, then Walked Over To them.
They Were Asleep In There Beds
So, mandy Kissed Them On They're Heads.
"sweet dreams, my little angels...
Mandy Walked Out.
She Went To her Room...Where She Saw Jack Sleeping On The Bed.
It Was His day-Off, And He Was Plenty Tired.
He Didn't Bother To Change His Clothes Or Even Cover Up For That Matter.
Mandy Smiled.
She Walked Into Her Closet And Put On Her Coat.
As She Walked Out...a Voice Whispered To Her.
"going someplace?
Mandy Looked Back At Her Husband, Who Was Looking At Her.
"Something came Up...I Need To Take Care Of It.
I'll Be Home, Soon...Don't Worry.
"Oh, I'm Not Worried...I've Learned To Stop Doing That.
Mandy Smiled.
She Walked Over And Gave Her husband a Light Kiss.
"i love you... Said Mandy
"I Love You, Too...My Dark Angel.
Mandy Grinned
Jack tended to Call Mandy That In there Childhood, ALOT.
She Was So Beautiful...Yet, So Dark And Mysterious.
So, Jack Kept Calling Her His "Angel Of Darkness".
Mandy Got Up And Left.
Jack Went back To his sleep...Knowing Full Well He'd Be Up Soon.
The Ghost Rider's Job Is NEVER Done.
[Meanwhile, In The Nether Realm]
Mandy Walked Through The Portal While Holding Her Scythe.
She Made It Disappear And Approached The Gates Of Ravencroft Asylum.
As She Entered The Visitor's Center, She Approached Some Guards.
"I Am Here On Warden Atoms Request...He Wanted To See Me?
"Yes, He Has been Waiting For You.
Mandy Walked Through The Long, Dark Hallway.
She Could See a Fence Where Other Prisoners Were Being Lead To Holding cells.
Mandy Looked Back And Saw a chamber With Lasers, As She Entered...It SCanned Her Body.
"Scanning Complete...
No Unknown Contriband Detected.
Some Doors Opened, And Mandy Continued To Walk With The Guards.
They Made It To An Area With An Office, The Warden Met With Her.
"Glad You Could Make It, Mrs. Reaver...
"WHere Is Amanda?
"She's In Her cell.
Since She's So dangerous, We Keep Her Locked In a Sepperate Building Right Outside.
My Men Will Take You there...After that, Your On Your Own.
"WHat Has She Been doing?
"Causing Riots, All That Stuff...
Her Children Does Most Of It, though.
"Any Idea WHY She Want's Me, Here?
"No clue...Your Guess Is As Good As Mine.
Mandy Sighed.
"Thank You, Warden.
The Warden Nodded.
Mandy Soon Walked With The Guards To The Door Outside.
Once In The Courtyard, She Walked ALone To a Large Structure.
Whatever It WAS Called Was Scratched Off, replaced With The "AMANDA" Spray Painted In Red.
Or, At Least...Mandy HOPED It Was Paint.
She Walked In And Found Herself In a Large Room.
She Saw a Long Hall And Walked Over To a Cell With a Dense, Glass Wall.
Mandy Could See Amanda...Now In a Prison Uniform.
Mandy Narrowed Her Eyes As She Walked Over To Her.
Amanda Layed On her Bed.
Her Red Eyes Glanced Towards Mandy...She Then Smiled.
"(Evil Chuckle) Look Who Decided To Show Up...
"The Warden Says You've Been Causing Trouble. Said Mandy Sternly
"Oh, Yes...
All It Takes Is a Few Dead Guards, Perimeter Breaches And The Occasional ESCAPE ATTEMPTS
And Suddenly You've Gotten Someones Attention!
"Well, You`ve Got Mine...What Do You Want?
Amanda Get Up.
She Walks Over To Mandy And Stares At Her.
Though Several Layers Of NEAR-Indestructible Glass Is Between The Two Women...
For a Moment, Mandy And Amanda FORGET The Barrier Is Even There.
The Whole Scene Looked Like a Twisted Mirror Reflection.
"Do You REALLY Think...That This Prison Of IRON BARS And STONE WALLS
Can Keep Me Locked Up, FOREVER!?...You Know "Us" BETTER Than That, Mandy.
"Stop Refering To us As The Same, WE ARE NOT THE SAME!
"OH, DROP THAT ACT, MANDY!
You And I Both Know That No Matter How Much you try To CHANGE Who You Are...
One Thing Will ALWAYS Be True: I Am What You Could Of Been, So I AM You.
Amanda Chuckled Some More.
"You Have An Unwritten Legacy...Written In The Blood Of Thousands.
And, Like All Guilty People...You Try To RE-WRITE Your Own History, Erase Me From Existance.
But, This Fight Isn't Over...There WILL BE BLOOD.
Mandy Glared At Amanda.
"you can't deny me forever, mandy...
Mandy Sighed Sharply
"your right...You Are SO RIGHT.
I COULD Of Been You...I could Of Been a MONSTER.
Looking Back At My Childhood, I Was On The Right Track to becoming WHat you Are...
I Hated The World And All It's People, I Want Control...I Wanted POWER.
"And Yet, You Abandoned Your Destiny...All For Love.
Mandy Looked At Amanda.
"Yeah...Yeah, I Did.
And You Know What?, I'M PROUD OF MY DECISION!
Jack Reaver Saved My Life, And I May never Repay Him For That...
WHILE YOu DESTROYED THE WORLD In YOUR TIMELINE, I SAVED IT!
Mandy Glared At Amanda.
"I Know What you Did...I`ve Read Your History.
You Caused Several Event To happen That lead To a War That Tore Humanity Apart
Allowing YOU To Take Advantage Of All The Chaos And Take Over.
Amanda Smiled.
Mandy then Leaned Forward, The Lens Of her Glasses Shining.
"But, let Me Tell You What I DID...
On September 11th, I Helped Dexter Install a FORCE FIELD Device In The WORLD TRADE CENTER.
So, When The Plane Came...The Twin Towers Didn`t Fall, They STILL STAND TODAY!
And The Passengers On The Plane Survived, Too...The Powerpuff Girls Made Sure To That.
With No Terrorist Attack, There Was No War In Iraq...We Had PEACE For Many Years.
Amanda Glared At Mandy.
"And, I'm No Fool...
I KNOW You Came To My Timeline And Tried To Influence Those Terrorists.
But, I KNEW Of It Ahead Of time...I Saw It In a Nightmare.
I Stopped You, Just Like I've Done COUNTLESS TIMES!
Mandy`s face Became Dark...Dark Enough To Make Even Amanda Uneasy.
"In Your Timeline...You Caused a Disaster That Killed THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE
And MANY MORE In The Following War That Came After...I SAVED ALL THOSE LIVES!
Mandy Then Got Closer, Grinning.
"So, How Does That Make You feel...Know a Version Of Yourself SAVED THE WORLD?
Amanda Hit The Barrier, Growling.
Mandy Smiled At Amanda's Anger.
"You Have Tried To Prove I'm As Bad As You For YEARS, Amanda...
But, You Only Proved That I Am NOTHING LIKE YOU!...I Have Proved I Am Different.
I May Not Have Everything I Wanted...But, I have Everything That I Needed...
I have Good Friends, a Loving Family And a Future Worth Living In...You?, Not So Much.
Amanda Growled At Her.
"When I Get Out Of Here...I Am Going To ENJOY Making You Suffer!
"If You Ever Threaten My family Again, I WILL MAKE YOU SUFFER!
Amanda Stopped, Looking At Mandy.
"I'm Not a Killer, Amanda...Not Like You.
But, If You Ever Hurt My Family Again...I WON`T Hesitate To Kill You.
And, I Wouldn't Worry About Those Kids Of Yours, Either...MY Children Can Handle THEM.
Amanda Glared At mandy.
"wow...you really have turned your back on me and my ambitions.
"I Turned My Back On You Ever Since Jack Came Into My Life...You Are DEAD TO ME.
"Well, My World Is Dead Thanks To Your Husband...Might As Well.
"Oh, And One More Thing...
Amanda Looks At her.
"IF YOu EVER TRY TO SEDUCE MY HUSBAND AGAIN!, I WILL TEAR YOU LIMB FROM LIMB! Shouted Mandy
Amanda Smirked.
"Still Ticked About That?
"If It Wasn't For This Barrier, I`d Break Your Neck RIGHT NOW.
Amanda Smiled.
"So...I Guess It's GAME ON, Then?
"Your Not Going Anywhere, Amanda...
But, If You Do...Me And My Family Will Be Ready For You.
We`ve Already Proven We Can Handle Whatever You Throw At Us...
Mandy Turned And Walked Away.
As She Left, Amanda Grinned Evily.
"let the games, begin...
The Door Closed With a Loud Crash
Amanda returned To her Bunk And Smiled As She Planned Her Revenge.
(("i wonder if HIM is available...)) Thought Amanda Quietly
The End...For Now.
