Like Phantom's Forever

“Get off me” I screamed, blood poured heavily from my head.
“You’ll stay with me” He screamed, his face covered in a stark white mask.
Voices echoed in the distance, he heard them and ran. I heard him go, even his walk was melodic.
I stared up and the dark sky and the star’s glittered in their velvet background, I couldn’t stand up, I felt weak and dizzy. I felt heartbroken.
“Chrissie” Robyn shouted.
I saw her peer over me.
“Hey” A familiar voice whispered.
It was my brother Zacky “You’ll be fine” he smiled.
“Hopefully” I muttered.

Flashback

“Into Hell, Forever more” he sang, his voice was like a spell luring me towards him. He played furiously on his piano and made me feel inadequate in his presence.
He stopped and reached for another bottle of whisky.
“So why are you here” He asked
“You brought me here” I whispered.

End

I awoke on a sofa, Matt, Johnny, Syn, James, Robyn, Cleo and Zacky where sat around me.
“How you feeling sis” Zacky said
“Like shit but it’s only expected if you get hit over the head” I muttered.
“Do you actually know that you were attacked” James snapped
“Fuck you” Zacky cried
“Whoa, boy’s please” Matt shouted, trying to resolve the situation.
“No, I believe you Chrissie but will the police” James said “What are you going to do walk in and say, today I was hit over the head by some guy in black clothes and a white mask”
“Yeah, I will, James” I hissed as I sat up
“I’ll come with you sis, he won’t get away with this” Zacky smiled
“Nice to see you again” Robyn whispered.
“Hey, I know how to have fun” I beamed.
“Yeah and we know why” Cleo said “Gerard Way”
“Not to shabby if I say so myself” I giggled.
“Nice to have you back to your normal, ahem sluttish self” Syn laughed
“Watch it” Zacky moaned
“Zacky, I can stick up for myself you know, I’m not that little anyway you know I can kick the shit into Synyster easily” I laughed
“Oh, you’re well hard” Syn smirked.
I had a moment to gather my thought’s and whilst I do you’ll probably want to know who I am. I’m Chrissie, Zacky V’s little sister, my best friend is Robyn whom is dating my brother. Cleo is another friend of mine who fuck’s anything especially Syn and the guy’s from A7X.Matt is like another brother to me, Johnny’s my little shit head, Syn is like my best friend and Jame’s is adorable but we don’t really get along. I was recently kidnapped, well I don’t know if it would be called that but I disappeared for a time, with a masked stranger who has an alcohol problem but I’ve fallen for him yet I’m dating the cutest guy called Gerard who I adore.
“Well, I’m off” James said “I’m going to see if I get abducted by a phantom”
“Ha Ha well done, you’ve officially pissed me off” I sneered.
“Nah, I’m kidding, love you really” he smiled as he shut the door.
The way he said love sounded so familiar.
“Hey any way, we’ll have to get to the hotel soon” Robyn said wisely.
“Yeah, where are you guy’s staying” I asked my brother.
“Ummm..Hotel Paramount, I believe” he said
“Think there’s an extra room for us three” I asked them.
“Sure” Syn said warmly “I’ll swing it by”
“Great, then, I think there’s extra time for a party” Matt exclaimed.
“Fuck Yeah” Johnny shouted “Hey where did Jame’s actually go”
“Don’t know, fucking some random slut no doubt” Zacky said.

James Owen Sullivan/ The Reverend

It’s cold now, I could be driving but my car’s impounded. The rain pound’s heavily from the dark sky, I bet their all partying.
Why the hell did you leave?
I look so obvious now.
Where should you go?
I’ll just go out and have a few drink’s then walk back to the hotel, maybe the hotel bar. The stabbing pain hit me again, it knocked me to the ground.
What is this feeling?
Love?
No, don’t be stupid, I’m not in love.
Are you?
My brain’s going into overdrive, I better rejoin the group, no questions can be asked then.
Gerard, I’m glad the sea separates us tonight.
I look at my hand’s, the blood’s come back again. I turn round, I need to find them.
Do you need them?
Yes, course I do, their my best friends.
“Shut up” I cry aloud.

Zacky V

We were about to leave when The Rev appeared again.
“Short and sweet eh” Syn laughed.
“She wasn’t in” he said
“Aw, bless you” Chrissie cried giving him a slightly drunken hug.
“Are we off to party then” Johnny shouted.
“Come on” I said as we made our way to the nearest bar.
Chrissie was in a bit of a state
We all know how to party, we party hard, it’s a lifestyle you see. I can’t be too drunk or pilled up, I have to keep an eye of Chrissie, my little sister.
“First round” The Rev cries.
Everyone shouted what they wanted and he walked to the bar to get the booze.
“Hey Chrissie, you okay” I asked
“Yep, I can’t wait to see Gerard tomorrow” she cried.
“Aw, it’s nice to see you so happy” I said happily, she hugged me in return.
“Whoa, Beeatch” Robyn exclaimed “Don’t hog all my man”
“Sorry” I laughed.
The Rev wandered back over, with a tray of multicoloured drink’s.
“Get in” Syn cried drinking his down in one.
“I knew you were going to do that, so that pint’s for you” the rev smirked.
“Thanks” I said grabbing mine.
Chrissie just stared at her drink for a minute.
“How did you know I wanted this drink” she asked Jimmy.
“You shouted it out”
“I didn’t say anything” she whispered.
“Sorry, do you want another drink” he exclaimed.
“No, this is fine”
She was silent for the rest of the night.
I left her she probably just remembered when she got kidnapped.

Matt Shadows

“It’s late guy’s” I said
“I’m staying” The Rev muttered.
“I’m not done” Johnny giggled.
“Alright, you guy’s stay and we’ll head back to the hotel” I muttered, annoyed by their alcoholic way’s.
“I agree” Syn laughed, falling over the table.
We picked him up and most of us headed home, well the hotel.
We flagged the nearest taxi, alarmingly Chrissie was still silent.
We finally reached our hotel, the weather was against us and had now worsened to a thunder storm.
Chrissie suddenly screamed, I glanced to what she was staring at. I saw it, well him, a man dressed in fully black but with a white mask hiding his face.
He was on a balcony, in the hotel.
Zacky ran towards the hotel.
“No stay where you are” The man screamed “Or I’ll kill him”
“Who” Zacky yelled.
“Gerard” he laughed.
The man then disappeared.
We ran as quickly as we could to our rooms, Gerard was there. Hanging from the certain rail.

James/The Reverend

Johnny is so drunk worst than me, he’s heavy though. He won’t remember anything.
What’s the plan?
What plan. Oh, that plan, I’m not telling you.
Why?
You tell too many people, then I’ll get caught.
Do you want to be found out?
Yeah and no, I do and don’t. I’m confused now
More bloodshed?
No, way. I’m not hurting anyone else.
Why?
You’re crazy.
Am I?
“Fuck you” I say out loud.
“Jimmy……” Johnny slurred.
“Yeah”
“Where are we going” he asks.
Where are we going?
To the hotel.
Doe’s he want a swim?
Yeah, he doe’s.
“Johnny were off swimming” I say happily.
Can Johnny swim?
Don’t know.
Will you take care of him?
Yeah, he’s a good friend.
Is he?
Piss off.
“No, I can’t swim Jame’s” he say’s weakly.

Chrissie

I screamed at the sight of Gerard’s limp body hanging there, burn’s around his neck and wrist’s. I did this to him, he was killed for loving me. The rope, that rope. Is it the same one? It hit’s me then that he’s dead, I’ve lost him forever. The guy’s ran in after me and to cut him down. He‘s not moving.

James/The Reverend

“Help” Johnny scream’s
Doe’s he want help?
No, he’s swimming.
Why?
You’re idea.
Is it?
Yeah
Do you enjoy this?
Yeah, he look’s strange, kind of in pain at this moment. Got to love Johnny Christ for being so God damn entertaining.
What are you going to do now?
Tell him to stop swimming
Where is he?
Shit.
“Johnny” I scream, only a few bubble’s remain.
I drive in, I can see him drifting to the bottom. I swim after him, I use all my strength.
Are you going to leave him?
No.
Why?
He’s a friend
A best friend?
Yeah
Are you going to say bye to Johnny?
No.
I’m swimming still, yes I’ve caught his hand. I’m nearly out of breath. I look up and see the surface, it’s pretty far away. I’m panicking now.
Why are you worrying?
He might be dead fucker.
Why?
He was swimming then downed.
Why did he go swimming?
Because I put him in the river.
Shit.
I’ve just reached the surface and caught my breath.

Zacky V

“Gerard, is in a critical condition” The doctor spoke to me and Mikey, Gerard’s brother.
“It’s all my fault” Chrissie broke down and cried.
“No, it’s not” I said comforting her, she’s been though enough never mind this.
“Excuse me” The doctor said as he rushed to another hospital gurney.
“Johnny” Matt exclaimed.
Johnny was laid on the other gurney, was dripping wet, blood dripped from his nose and ear’s.
The Rev walked into us and collapsed, we sat him down.
“What happened” I asked.
“He.. Went. For .A. Swim” he muttered, his skin was ice cold to the touch.
“Why” Matt questioned.
“Don’t. Know. He. Just. Jumped. In. I went. In after. Him” he said shaking.
“Oh God” Syn murmured “Are we cursed?”
“Jimmy, why did you walk the long way home?” I asked another question.
“Johnny. He was really. Sick and wanted. To get air. That was fresh” He muttered once more, before passing out.

James/The Reverend

I awoke on a hospital bed, Matt was sat by my side.
“Alright” he says happily.
“Why are you so happy” I ask
“You and Gerard have made it though” he beams.
I smile, I have to say it was forced, Gerard had many enemy’s, I’m just another one.
Did you kill Gerard?
No
Why are you feeling guilt?
Because I know who did it.
Really, who?
Not saying.
Why?
I hate you, you’re fun any more.
Why?
We used to play fun game’s not now, try and kill you best friend by drowning him. I’m going to the police.
How?
I’ll tell them who killed Gerard.
Why?
Honesty, Is the best policy.
Why?
Stop asking question’s
Why?
You’ll drive me mad.
“Fuck off” I scream.
“Whoa, Jimmy are you okay” Matt asks me.
“Fine, just a really irritating pain” I lie.
Is that a lie?
Yes.
Want a new fun game?
Yeah.
“I though we’d lost you there” Matt laughs.
They did, year’s ago.

Chrissie

I’m so glad, Gerard, Johnny and Jimmy are all fine. I don’t believe the mess these past few week’s. I hope it’s all over now. I’m so in love, it sickens me sometimes. I’ve been seeing Gerard for month’s now but when I was with the other man, his face hidden I felt so special and he love’s me so much. He would kill for me.
We were back at the hotel now, all of us including Gerard and Mikey. We vowed never to mention what happened and try to forget it.
“I love you babe” Gerard whispered to me.
“Me too” I said back full of pride.
“Hey, girl tomorrow we have to go shopping, were in LA for God’s sake” Robyn said.
I agreed, it would be nice to take my mind off everything.
“ARGHHH” A scream echoed though the room.
“Jimmy, you okay” Zacky asked.
“No, I’m not I’ve fucking cut my hand open” he yelled in pain, he had a deep slash across his hand which led to one of his slender finger’s.

Flashback

“Did I” The man spoke
“You said you’d help me with my drug addiction” I stuttered scared.
“Please, I won’t hurt you” he said softly.
“Can you?” I asked.
“Yeah, I can” he said happily, one of the few time’s he was.
He showed me his arm, scarred from needle injection’s, he was heavily tattooed but these I didn’t care about.
He taught me to overcome my addiction and after three week’s I was fine.
“Why will you not quit?” I questioned him
He grabbed me with his gloved hand, his long slender finger’s entwined with mine.
“I’m past the point of being saved now” He cried as he broke down in tear’s, I could see it in his amazing green eye’s.
“Why are you crying” I said clumsily.
“You, I’ve fallen for you” he moaned, I could feel his overwhelming pain.
I didn’t know what to say, I felt cold to reject such a beautiful man but his mood swing’s and violence scared me.
“Fear is the most exquisite type of love” I heard myself say.
He often talked to himself but over those week’s I learned to love him and he knew how to look after me from my favourite food to my favourite drink. He also had a dog well it was more of a wolf named Mezmer, he was the most beautiful animal I’ve ever seen. I didn’t see much here, I never knew where I was. His voice calmed me and settled me, he had the most amazing voice even his scream was enchanting.

End

“Chrissie” Matt shouted and shook me until I came out of my day dream.
“Yeah, chill” I muttered confused slightly.
“Gerard and Zacky have took Jimmy to hospital” he said “God, he’s clumsy when he’s been drinking”
“What” I exclaimed.
“They’ll be back soon, no doubt, they’ll stitch Jimmy up” he laughed.
“Okay” I smiled feeling something bad was going to happen.

James/The Reverend.

This hurt’s like Hell, I look at my hand gushing with new red blood, which splashes Gerard’s car.
“Hey, you okay” Zacky asks.
“Yeah” I mutter “Just want to get this cleaned up”
Do you?
No, not really I like blood.
Why?
It look’s pretty.
Want to play a game?
Sure.
Do you like car’s?
No, prefer train’s more.
Why?
They cause more damage than most transport.
Why?
There so dangerous, that’s why.
“God Dammit” I yelled.
“What’s eating you” Gerard asks.
“Nothing, my hand hurt’s that’s all” I lie again.
Do you like Gerard?
No.
Why?
Secret.
Why won’t you tell me?
You lie and cheat.
Do I?
Yes.
Do you like railway crossing’s?
Yep, sure do, I like to watch thing’s smash.
Do you want to see something smash?
YEAH.
We halt at a railway crossing.
“Fucking train’s, who need’s them” Gerard exclaims.
“Zacky, will you get me that” I ask him as I drop my phone from my hand out of the window.
“Lazy git” he laughs.
I jump out to get it too and accidentally push the hand break. The car’s moving forward, this will be awesome.
The train’s here, it fly’s a few meter’s, damn those service train’s.
Zacky’s screaming, I’m laughing.
Was that fun?
Yeah.
Are you upset?
No.
Why?
Stop being so nosy.

M Shadow’s

“Chrissie, what’s up, really. I’ve known you too long” I asked.
“Everything” She cried.
“Tell me” I said
“I think I know who kidnapped me, well it wasn’t kidnap, I went on my own accord, he said he could cure my drug addiction” She muttered “he kept me in this hidden lair, I never saw his face, I remembered he played piano and constantly fidgeted, tapping everything, he has a wolf dog called Mezmer and knew my favourite food and drink”
“He isn’t such a bad person then except the Gerard thing” I said trying to comfort her.
“He had long slender hand’s, heavily tattooed, needle scar’s, violent mood swing’s, he often talked to himself and the worst thing I feel in love with him” She cried.
“Awww, Chrissie” I said lovingly.
“I think I know who it is” she whispered again.
“Who” I asked.
“The Reverend” she said quietly.

The Reverend.

Why won’t he die?
Don’t know
Do you like hurting people?
Only certain people.
Who?
Gerard.
“Jimmy” Zacky cries
“Yeah” I smile
“Gerard’s stable, this isn’t his week” Zacky mutter’s
“No, I really feel for the guy” I lie
“Hope Chrissie’s alright” Zacky say’s
“Me too and the rest of the guy’s, have you told them yet?”
“Yeah, there in their way” Zacky mutter’s
Do you Love her?
Yes, I do
Doe’s she love you?
Yes.
Really?
Yes.
Are you lying again?
No.
Want to play another game?
YES.
Do you like needle’s?
Yeah.
Is Zacky your best friend?
Yeah
Will he hurt you if he knew?
Yeah
Shall we give him an injection?
YES.
“Zacky” I smile.
“What” he mutter’s “I’m not in the mood for joke’s”
“Do you want to die” I ask
“Fuck off, Jimmy” he shouts
Is that mean?
Yes, it is.
Doe’s he want to die?
Yes.
Shall we?
YES.
I stab him with it, he scream’s, I laugh again.
“Sorry Zacky” I whisper as he collapse’s on the floor.
I go.

Chrissie

“What do you mean, Gerard’s dead” I screamed, tear’s staining my face.
Matt hugged me.
“Zacky’s in a coma” Matt told me more bad New’s.
“I was right, wasn’t I Matt” I whispered
“I don’t know” he cried
“He’s done this” I spat.
“He could be with one of his whore’s” Matt defended Jimmy.
“Coincidence” I muttered.
Matt spend some time thinking.
“I have a plan” he smiled.
I still cried, Gerard was dead, my brother critically ill and The Reverend is running about. The Bastard, I’ll kill him if it’s the last thing I do.

The Reverend.

I’m well in the frame now.
Are you?
No.
Why?
I didn’t kill Gerard, you did.
Did I?
It was your idea.
Was it?
Yes.
What’s the new plan?
To get Chrissie.
Why?
I love her.
Don’t you need an alibi?
Yes.
Do you have a plan for that?
Hell yes, I sure do.
Slut’s will do anything for money, If I overpay, they lie, I’m sorted.
I’m back at the hotel, in our room.
The door open’s, Matt, Johnny, Syn, Cleo, Robyn and Chrissie are back now.
Shadow’s sits down and sigh’s.
“Where have you been” he asks.
“Vixen’s” I say “I needed to take my mind off everything.”
“Well were off out for a few to celebrate Gerard’s life and hope Zacky pull’s though” Matt say’s.
Everyone agrees except Chrissie.
“I’ll stay” she mutter’s sadly.
“Remember lock the door and don’t let anyone in” Matt warns her.
We go out, I need to see her alone but how the hell can I shake the guy’s. We drink and laugh, like nothing’s happened.
How can you get rid of them?
Arson.
Really?
No.
Why?
There my friend’s.
Have you another plan?
Yeah, I do and it’s fool proof.
The stripper’s are out in force, again they will do anything for extra cash.
The guy’s see me leave drunk with a stripper on my arm, I leave her and head to the hotel, I get changed and climb though the window.
“Didn’t lock that, did you” I snap.
“Go away” Chrissie shouts.
“Shout again and I’ll slit you’re throat” I hiss.
She still doesn’t know it’s me behind this mask.
“Why” she asks
“Love” I moan, the stabbing feeling return’s to me again, I land on my knee’s.
“Who are you” She asks another question.
“Your worst nightmare” I laugh.
“What have I ever done to hurt you, I cure you, keep you safe, I never hurt you the other week, you feel I checked that you were okay but you still blame me” I say, my rage growing “I love you and you throw it in my face”
“I loved you, you’re a murderer and an arsonist” she say’s painfully.
“Really” I snap once more.
“Did you kill Gerard and hurt Zacky?”
“Yeah, I did” I smirk.
“You sick bitch” she cry’s.
“Do you want our tongue cut out” I laugh.
“I did it for you, if you knew who I am, you would never love me, you would have never given me a chance” I cry in pain.
What are you going to do with her?
Nothing.
Why?
I love her
Do you?
Yes, until I die
How do you plan to get away with this?
I don’t know.
“Fuck it” I shout. I’m tapping the side of the bed now nervously.
“If I come with you, will you swear never to hurt anyone again” she whispers
“Yes, I swear” I say happily.
The door is rammed open, Matt’s standing there.
“Take that mask off or I’ll rip your face off” He yell’s at me.
“No” I laugh.
He run’s over, I stop him with my knife, I love knives.
He’s laid on the floor, bleeding.
“It’s not a killer blow” I say to them “Just to immobilise him for a short while”
She’s staring at me, she’s now walking over, she’s reached me, she move’s my mask up slightly and kisses me, I’ve waited so long for such a kiss. My mask drop’s to the floor, she sees me.
I break down and cry.

Chrissie

“I knew it was you” I screamed.
“I’m sorry” Jimmy whispered gasping for his word’s.
“You killed Gerard because of envy” I shouted.
“Because I love you” he cried, he was crying like I was over him, he seriously love’s me.
“I can’t control him, he killed Gerard” he moaned.
“Who?” I spat
“He did, The Reverend” He said again.
“I love you, Jimmy” I cried again, the tear’s returning to me “ I could never live like you, you need help, the drug’s, sex and schizophrenia”
“The what” He shouted “I’m perfectly normal, some anger issue’s but I’m not crazy”
“Jimmy, see it in yourself, you need help” I muttered.
“I’m going, I’ll never see you again” he cried.
He then began to sing “I won’t see you tonight”.

The Reverend

I need to go, she like’s me to sing, it make’s her happy. She’s smiling now, the pain in my chest is now unbearable.
You still have health?
No.
Why?
You.
Me?
Yes, you.
Why?
You caused this, if you weren’t here, I’d be sane and loved.
Why?
You’re in the way telling me to do bad thing’s.
Am I?
Yes, now go.
Why?
I HATE YOU.
Matt’s up again, this is going to hurt.

I wake up now, the sun’s shining and I’m alone in a padded cell. I’ve been here eight year’s now and he’s gone, I haven’t heard the Reverend for at least five and a half years, I can leave soon. The band still talk to me, I was sick, now I’m a lot better. Zacky pulled though, I just killed Gerard. I still show no remorse till this day, I hate him still even though he’s dead. I know he’ll come back and get me one day but who care’s I don’t.
Jame’s?
Yes.
Want to play a game?
Yeah.
