Drowning 22 (part 1)
“Dane? What’s going on?”
“Huh? Nothing Shane.” Dana looked down, avoiding Shane’s glare.
“Don’t you dare say ‘nothing’ to me! You should have seen yourself. What the ***** is going on?”
“Nothing Shane, really. I’m sorry.”
“Dane, you need to talk to me. You scared the ***** of me. I’ve never
seen you like that. You didn’t even hear me. Talk to me.” Shane pleaded.
“I’m sorry. It’s nothing, really. I didn’t mean to scare you. I’m
sorry.” Dana started to get up off of the couch and Shane caught her
arm.
“Are you in some sort of trouble, Dane? Is someone threatening you?”
If only it was Dana being threatened, then it wouldn’t bother her
nearly as much. But it was Alice being threatened. And it was all
Dana’s fault. She caused it and apparently, she wasn’t doing much to
help alleviate the threat. It had all started four months earlier. The
first letter seemed innocuous enough, just another fan that had a
crush. The next one was a little stronger and the next even more so.
And so it grew. Dana being Dana, seeing the goodness in people and
never imagining that there are people who aren’t innately good, who are
innately bad, who can actually possess evil, she didn’t tell anyone
about the letters. By the time she realized just how bad it was and how
bad it could get, she was told if she showed the letters to anyone, her
cat would suddenly disappear. As the threats got worse, she tried to
ignore it. Then came the letter that changed her life.
“Dane? Answer me!?!” Shane practically screamed, “Are you in trouble? Do you need help?”
Dana gave Shane a sad smile, “I really wish you could help Shane,
but you can’t. No one can. I need to get ready for dinner.” Dana spoke
as though her emotions had been sucked out of her. She gave Shane a
quick and uncomfortable hug, “Thanks though, Shane.”
With a strength she didn’t quite feel, she put the letter into her
pocket, walked into the bathroom and shut the door. She turned to look
at the door to make sure it was locked.
Once alone in the safety of the bathroom, she quickly stripped
herself out of her clothes. She turned the water on full force and slip
down to the bathroom floor. She pulled her knees to her chest, wrapped
her arms around her legs and began to sob. She tried to muffle the
cries through her body and the water. She didn’t want Shane to hear her
crying. She knew that she certainly didn’t convince Shane that all was
ok, but she didn’t want to make it worse. She just wanted to get
herself as together as she could and get out of the house before Shane
started asking questions again.

A motion has been brought to the floor to appoint Lucia captain of the Danish Ship ….. All in favor say I….IIIII…motion carried!!!! You are the Shit!!! This is another great post! Can’t wait for the next chapter…the suspense is killin me :)
I was about to send out a search party for you Lucia!
A Bette-less chapter – and we got through it! Could it be that we could survive her loss? I wonder.
‘Chris’ and Julia and baby makes three. They seem to be a comfortable nuclear family.
BOOM!!!
P.S.: Has your Dana been training with your namesake, Lucia Rijker? If so, she should be able to take care of an evil stalker by herself.
Alice and Dana better get a gun. Shoot first and ask questions later. Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6, and all that…
I thought Shane was the resident ass-kicker. She better get busy! And I’m glad Lara is not the reason. I guess…
I’m the first to comment *dances around happily* I’m gonna have to suffer for another week, am I? What’s going with Dana? I love how you wrote Shane and her concern for her friends. Cid, so when can we expect Part 2? I’m so ready with my utilities belt to beat up whoever is torturing Dana. Lol, I’ll being a kid now. You’re my favorite writer!
Another week to know what is going on? that’s cruelty girl. Post soon and thanks.

Great chapter, all your chapter are great even if I don’t always post comments. But now you gone and done it. I won’t be able to do anything but consistently check the fics board to see if you have posted the rest of the chapter. No shopping, no cleaning, no hanging with friends, just me sitting at the computer checking for updates. I know we (danish/or other’s not tibette) don’t have as many writer as some of the other ships. But damn the ones we have are in a class of their own. And you are at the top of the class.
