Dead Girls & A Broken Heart - Chp 16

Nothing in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. -- Martin Luther King, Jr.

He leant casually against the wall smirking spinning some fine piece of metal in his hands.

“Izzy baby doll.” He said playing his seductive part.

I played nice and kept my eyes from rolling “Look I'd love to play the whole guessing game but there is no need I know it was you.” I said still avoiding showing any emotions, even the anger that flared.

He tiled his head “Well,” was all he said the silence continued.

“Come on Jake it’s pretty obvious. But I’ve stopped you by getting your next victim. I knew Gabs would be next. I mean she chucks a party without an invite for Danni, like Nat. and like Nat she’d be killed for it.” I said almost clean of any emotions.

“But you’re wrong baby doll. Gabby isn’t my next victim.” He said easily.

I couldn’t help it; I blinked stunned, shocked “What? Why? Your scheme is to kill them in their own room. Rape them in their own bed. During their own party. Put them to shame.” I said ticking off the traits and making my stomach coil and bile rise just at the thought of any one experiencing that including Gabs, Nat or even like right now, myself.

“Well yes. But you wouldn’t be having any parties anytime soon and you’re a good jigsaw piece player.” He said casually almost impressed.

“Me?” I stuttered.

He smiled, no smirked “You’re a very good detective baby doll but you missed that one detail didn’t you? One tiny slip. It’s not Gabby I'm after.”

Instantly my eyes fell to the door beside him. I'd trapped myself I'd fallen for his plan. I thought of everyone bar myself. I felt like a camera that was zooming in on all details for a weapon, an escape, just something.

“Why me? I mean I'm Izzy Stephens the girl who does nothing but blends in.” I said laughing weakly wanting answers.

He smiled pressing off of the wall “Oh but I think you know.” He said walking around me like I was his prey. What do I mean like? I am his prey?

“Danni.” I finally answered. It was true I knew. But I needed to hear it from his mouth so that-

“Yes my beautiful Danni.” He said his tone filled with adoration, worship, awe and love. A brainwashed zombie.

“Okay so Nat didn’t invite Danni, Maisy spread gossip, but me Jake? Why me?” I asked.

He chuckled darkly, goosebumps rising as the air from the open window crawled around my skin like a vine. “Izzy you were breaking my babies heart. You were associated with the other side. With Luke.” He said. “I saw the way you two acted together. Like a couple and it sickened me. Danni didn’t deserve another betrayal from anyone even if it was from a dick of a boyfriend named Luke.” He spat.

“But Jake we didn’t do anything! If anything only fight, he has no value on me.” I argued my own bitterness clear.

“Oh but Izzy he does, I saw it, Danni saw it and everyone else saw it. Everyone except you.” He said. “I saw it at the grand final, sweet Maisy’s party, training, at the café.” My eyes grew. “Oh yes baby doll, I’ve had my eyes on you.” He said smirking at my shock.

“So you take down Danni’s problems.” I stated evenly.

“I protect her unlike Luke.” He snarled.
