“Who?” Tina echoed the question posed her. “Fuck if I know!” she said in exasperation; her pale features turning crimson. Angelica had said “A lady with long dark hair” had asked her to look after the dog. It was all too much to believe. ‘How in the hell did Sounder get here from L.A.?’ she questioned watching the dog follow Angie toward the house.
“Did she describe her at least?” Alice pushed. Helena and Shane gave her disapproving looks though both were inwardly pleased Alice delivered the question; they were just as curious to know the answer and quickly turned back to Tina.
Tina sternly addressed Alice. “Let’s get one thing perfectly clear. You are not allowed to question Angelica about any of this. You got it? I will not have her frightened by talk of ghosts or zombies or evil plots. Understand?”
Alice nodded, “I get it. Don’t frighten the kid.” Tina’s nostrils flared and Alice quickly amended; “I’m sorry, Tina, I wasn’t thinking before. I promise to watch what I say around Angie. We all do, right?” Alice added looking between Helena and Shane.

Bette looked up from the items she had gathered to prepare her daughter a sandwich and smiled over to Angie who was watching her from the kitchen table a few feet away. She was still upset from the incident and was trying desperately not to let it show in front of Angelica. According to her daughter; a woman stood at the window and waved to her holding the dog and signaled for her to come outside, and Bette concluded it was probably the same person they had seen when they returned from town.
None of it made sense, Bette challenged. It just couldn’t be Jenny could it? If the impossible were true, wouldn’t Angelica remember Jenny even though it had been six months? They hadn’t allowed their daughter to spend much time around the deranged neighbor, but surely she would have recalled her if that was who spoke to her today? No. It couldn’t be Jenny. Bette shook the train of thought away. Whoever it was had another thing coming if they thought they were going to get away with pulling Angelica into this sick game. It may as well be Jenny because the person, or persons, responsible will be just as dead by the time Bette Porter was through with them.

LOL This was hilarious!! Alice and her candy and falling into her own trap was laugh out loud funny!! Almond butter…I don’t know, that sounds so…Bette! LOL The link to the banjo music was a perfect touch…thanks for joining in on the fun Sunkissed, and bringing in the unknown muse…brilliant!!!! Thanks again!
Ooooh, I wonder who the mistery person is.PPS
It’s amazing how with disparate chapters and writers that it’s coherent and coming together in some weird, miraculous way.
Oh man this is so funny. I love that this story just keeps getting better with each additional author. SK that was an awesome chapter thanks for writing it.
Seriously, only Alice would try to trap someone using Willy Wonka! I love that candy though! This was great, thanks so much for your participation and handing it off!
Nice job of setting more breadcrumbs out on the mysterious trail!
Great chapter. I loved the way you switched back and forth between a serious scene with Bette, Tina and Helena to the comedic scene with Alice and Shane to break up the tension. Now….who is the muse in the neighbor’s house?
it was fabulous but i think the next chapter will be coming next year because i have no idea how to follow THIS!!! LOL
This story is just beyond anything imaginable. It’s just amazing how all the wonderful writers are bringing all the characters and story together. Thank you SK wonderful! Simply wonderful.
LOL thanks for this chapter SK! No need to be nervous! I think that you did a good job!! Bravo! ;) PPS
Oh, I almost forgot – Breathe, Sunkissed, breathe! No need to turn blue, lol. Great job!!!
Oh, I almost forgot – Breathe, Sunkissed, breathe! No need to turn blue, lol. Great job!!!
Sunkissed, that was hysterical! I laughed out loud at Alice’s antics! Love your interpretation of this story and thanks for giving me laughter on a dreary, rainy Monday!
SK you don’t have to be a nervous Nellie, you did a great job, and with your inclusion of the banjo music, it just added to the mystery. It is very intriguing although I think jenny is still dead as a doorknob and someone is playing tricks on the girls to see who cracks first. Just my opinion. No breathe Sunkissed, inhale a big one and let it out slowly. See it’s okay now. Thanks for posting. Waiting for FON.
Great job SK. Such a mystery. Unknown person? Could it be Duffy? But why? This is soooo good. Can’t wait for more.
Alice was hilarious. Great job! Please don’t pass out cause we need you to continue FoN. :)
Great job pulling everything together! Bette is so tense and Alice is sooo annoying – but cute…love how you added the latest twist. Great job and thanks!
Helena was pulling on her boots in a flurry … “At least wait on Helena. You shouldn’t go alone.” Tina compromised… – this should be interesting – thanks for writing it sunkissed! P.s. oh yeah! you have more time for FON now, yes?… ;-)
lol too funny. You did a great job sk. I love how this is developing.
Oh, I was so happy to see a new post for this story; it’s both hilarious and suspenseful. PPS whoever is next.
Hey SK, Alice’s plan to catch their mysterious and unwanted guest remembered me on the old Roadrunner cartoons. Ones where Wiley E Coyote sets up the ACME trap and then gets mangled by it himself. I was LOL at Shane leaving her in there to cool off.Bette was interesting as she formulated her plan of attack. THe Alpha-Bette wanted to face theings head on and sort them out.Lana’s house guest is intrigunig and I can’t wait to find out more. Especially as there was a spark between Helena and LAna that should be explored.Whatever happens this is a helluva trip. Most enjoyable.Many thanks to all the author,Your Loyal Fan.
This keeps getting better
