Fan Fiction ❯ Love Me Deeply ❯ Chapter 1

The sun was setting, making the red leaves on the giant oak tree seem to be on fire. Clover loved to watch the sun set. Ever since she could remember, she had watched from the back porch, first with her father, then by herself after he left. Once in a while, a random boyfriend would join her, but mostly this was her place, her special time.

A loud, jarring noise interrupted her thoughts. The phone, she thought. She sighed, slid the porch door open, and crossed the room to pick up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hi, sweetie."

"Mom, hi, where are you?" She glanced at the clock. 7:48 pm.

"Randy is taking me out to dinner. Isn't he the sweetest? He surprised me at work with roses! He said I'll get the biggest surprise of my life later on. I might not be back tonight so don't wait up!" Her mother giggled, a high pitched annoying sound.

"What about dinner for me?"

"Oh, I'm sure you'll come up with something, honey." Clover made a face into the phone. "Just use your imagination! There are plenty of supplies in the fridge and pantry. But if you want, we can stop to get you something. We're in the neighborhood."

"No Mom, it's ok."

"And why don't you invite one of your friends over? That Josh fellow, for instance, he's nice."

"Sure Mom, whatever you say."

"Bye-bye honey."

"Bye Mom." Clover hung up the phone, thought a minute, then picked it up again and dialed Bunny's number.

"This is Bunny, talk to me!"

"Hey Bunny, it's Clover. Wanna come over and watch a movie? I'm making frozen pizza too."

"Well, hmmm, sure, lemme ask my dad." There was some rustling while Clover waited. She could hear muffled voices, and then Bunny came back on the line. "He said ok. He's getting drunk tonight anyway. You know he hates me to see him like that."

"I'll never figure out why he just won't stop doing that."

"He likes it too much. Besides, it's not like he's a mean drunk. He gets nicer, if that's possible for him. My dad is just that damn cool."

"Yeah, he's the nicest. So what kind of pizza you want? We have pepperoni, four cheese, mushroom, and supreme."

"You decide. I'll eat whatever. What movie are we going to watch?"

"Well, I think Mom rented some movies yesterday. Plus the new boy is a horror movie buff so he left a bunch of videos here. Mom actually sat through Hannibal for him. I heard him mention something about the Texas Chainsaw Massacre trilogy for this weekend."

"Oh your poor mom…isn't she terrified of those kind of movies?"

"Yeah, but she'll live. She likes him enough to sit through them."

"Oh, I've got to go, my dad needs the phone. I'll be over in about thirty minutes though. Would it be alright if I slept over? I think Daddy's going to call some of his friends over."

"Yeah, sure. We'll have a movie marathon or something."

"Great, later!"

"See ya."

Clover hung up the phone feeling considerably better. She walked back to the porch door and closed it. By now, the sun had set and the sky was mostly dark with only a few feeble rays of orange and red shining on the horizon. She sighed, content with the situation. She went into her room, took the mattress from one of the beds and hauled it into the living room, positioning it in front of the TV. She did the same with the second mattress, placing it next to the first. Still needing something to do, she went into the pantry and searched for the popcorn bags. She found two boxes. Knowing Bunny, she'd eat all of it, Clover thought. She placed the boxes next to the microwave. She then set the oven to preheat and stared out the window into the night.

He watched as she pushed and pulled the two mattresses into large open room. Her slightly wide frame made up for her skinniness, he thought. Such a good specimen of the female race. Her long brown hair was pulled back into a high ponytail, showing off the silver earrings she always wore. He watched her go into a small door in the kitchen, as she bent down to search for whatever she was looking for. Ah, such a small cute derriere she had. Her shirt seemed too tight for her large chest. He felt his groin tighten in anticipation. Such pleasure she shall bring me, he thought. He heard a moan coming from the van behind him. He frowned and opened the back doors to stare at the woman already bound and gagged. She looked at him, fear dominant in her eyes. Another body lay next to her, unconscious. He barely gave it a glance. He grinned at the woman and shut the doors. He looked back at the windows of the house and was startled to see the girl looking back at him. For a second, he believed that she saw him, and then realized she wasn't looking at anything in particular.

"Soon, my lovely, I will have you and we shall have such fun together," he said out loud, his voice low and full of lust. The pair in the back of the van would only be the beginning.

************

She must have been standing in the kitchen zoning out for a while, because it was the doorbell that woke her from her daydreaming. She shook herself mentally, went to the door and opened it. Behind it she found Bunny carrying a pillow and a small suitcase. Bunny smiled her million dollar smile, tossed her shoulder length blond hair and stepped inside.

"So, what movie shall we start with? I brought some films with me just in case." Bunny grinned at Clover, who beamed back. They walked into the living room and sat on their mattresses. Bunny pulled out some video tapes and DVDs. "Let's see, I have the Scream trilogy, Ever After, we have to watch that last so I don't have nightmares, um, I have Jurassic Park…all three of them actually, and…"

"Oh! I completely forgot the pizzas!" Clover dashed to the kitchen and tore open two of the boxes. She shoved the frozen pizzas into the now hot oven and set the timer. "Whew, now we wait the fifteen minutes. So, you were saying?" She walked back into living room.

"I was about to say I also have Gone with the Wind. My dad insisted I bring it." Bunny rolled her eyes. "You know how he gets about that movie."

Clover giggled, "Yeah, it's kind of funny actually."

"And what do you have?"

"It's all on the table. All of Randy's and my mom's tapes are there." The two got up and went to the table.

Bunny picked up a video. "Oh, this one! We have to watch this one first!"

"Hannibal? Are you serious?" Clover looked at Bunny in mock aspiration.

"Completely. I love this movie."

"Well, ok, but then we have to watch Lost World, ok?"

"Sure."

The two girls popped the DVD into the player and pressed PLAY.

************

"Damn it, she's supposed to be alone. Well, more fun to go around. At least she's pretty," he said as he watched the two girls get the pizza and make popcorn. They were watching his least favorite of the Hannibal trilogy. An idea formed in his mind. He grinned, "I'm so wicked." He slipped out of the brush he was in and headed to the door farthest away from the room the girls were in. He dug into his pocket and found the key he had made just this morning. He grinned again and quietly unlocked the door. He slowly and silently he made his way to the area where the girls were. He checked in on them, they were giggling over something on screen. He then went to the bathroom closest to the living room. It was still far enough so that anything done here couldn't be heard from the living room. He hid behind the door, waiting with a chloroform soaked rag in his hand. He didn't have to wait long. He heard footsteps coming down the hall and walk upon the tiles of the bathroom.
