Nicole kicked Melissa away and watched as her eyes glowed pink. "What the hell are you talking about?!"

"History is repeating itself. I got a vision and its telling me to kill everyone on the list too! It's telling me that nows the time." Melissa walked away. "Just you wait!"

Nicole placed a hand on her cheek. "What list...? Is she okay?!"

[Melissa's POV]

I'm thinking straight, I know I am!

Nicole tried to snap me out of it as if there was anything to snap out of and thats okay! I have a plan.

[ ???'s POV ]

"This is dumb." Nicole got off of her lab chair and looked back up at the screens. "This isn't making any sense and we're just spinning back in circles."

"One of us just HAS to be the bad guy for some reason." She found herself walking up to the outlet, slowly moving her hand towards the plug.

"I'm sick of it really." Nicole smiled. "This was supposed to be the 9th part and yet, we're replicating 3 and ignoring the 7th."

"I won't let the world direct itself however it wants anymore. If this is supposed to be a smooth story, then LET IT be a smooth story."

She yanked the plug out and dropped it. "There, that's the end."

"If the guy behind the chair didn't want to do it then I will." Nicole turned her head to a wall as if staring at an audience. "And y'know what? I'll leak the plans for this book."

"These were flashbacks that all were supposed to lead up to Scarlett's house with Bryan and Melissa visiting her." She raised an eyebrow. "But it's like he wants to try to copy Book 7 in order to reach something. I mean, wasn't there already a book 8? It was going well until he decided everything was too bland."

"So he tried to make this about 'The Starting Point' which if you hadn't noticed is the first book. But he failed because as it turns out, he made it into a Senior year type of thing."

"No one has an official personality!" Nicole crossed her arms. "No one knows what we look like. There are no drawings to show us!"

"This story was supposed to end with Jay and Bryan fighting to the death in Junior year which ends in a draw because Melissa stopped him. I was supposed to send out an ALTERED Laura to fight Jay off and let Bryan rest. Then in the final bit, Jay kills Alora."

"Then it would have continued in the next book to truly start senior year off. I guess the guy in the chair got stuck along the lines on what he wanted this to be about."

"I'm sick of this story. It's continued for far too long." Nicole walked over to the laptop sitting on her desk and sat down. "My world is about to be erased once again. But this time, there is a catch to this."

"I think that for the next one, it should touch on the nostalgia that brought this story to life in the first place." Nicole waved goodbye. "And when we're back, let's take Bryan mostly out of the picture."

"We're sticking to the Original Plans this time." She smirked. "And adding the new personalities from the 7th book into them."

"This is going to go so great." She saw the walls around her begin to fade. "I won't remember you but maybe a part of me will. Hope the next Nicole isn't a lab rat as I am."

"One can only hope." She faded away.
