Love Conquers All _The Sequel_

Chapter Six - Going Mental

Mary's POV:

I curse under my breath as everyone turns their attention to Tex. All of these people are part of Tex's gang and I sure as crap didn't invite then and I don't give a chicken fried fart what it will take to get them to leave. Michael's casket is behind Tex, open.

"We are here today... To party," Tex says. The crowd cheers, and my face gets hot as this sentence angers me.

I run around the crowd of delinquents and join Tex on the stage.

"What the heck are you doing..?" I ask him in a stern, deep voice.

"Quit stealing my thunder, I'm cool now," he spits back. Is he implying that I'm not cool?

Tex smiles at the people he's gathered here and then turns to face the coffin. To my surprise and utter disturbance, Tex begins to lift Michael's body until he's sitting upward. Immediately I panic, I will kill Tex if I have to.

"Who's up for a little crowd surfin'?" Tex yells out across the room, and everyone goes wild. With that, Tex drags Michael's body out from the casket and this is when I know I have to take action.

As Tex is about to toss Michael's body out into the sea of gangsters, he glances at me, and quickly his smile fades.

"So you want cool, do ya?" I growl ominously. He says nothing, and I begin to channel a massive gust of flurried wind and thrust it into his face. He is blown backward by the wind and I begin to grow massive glacial pillars around the room, and spark up a blizzard. Everyone begins screaming and I can't help laughing. I am an ice princess.

Instead of fleeing in panic though, some people begin to charge the stage, coming after me. Before I can kill them I am in their clutches, being held to the floor.

"What is wrong with you?"
"What are you?"
"You almost killed us!"

These are the things I can hear them saying to me, and I'm so angry I can't contain it.

Suddenly a red light begins to glow from the location of my Life Diamond, and they all stare in awe before it blasts them backwards.

"Don't mess with me or Michael," I say to the crowd of people, who's attention I have fully now. I stand over Michael's limp body.

I begin to raise my hands in the air, readying to massacre them all, when suddenly there is a sharp prick in my left shoulder, and when I turn I see Teddy, holding a syringe full of what I am sure is a sedative.

And before I can shoot fire up his butthole, I am unconscious.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My eyes open slowly and my vision is blurry. When I make out my surroundings, I can see that I am in a plain white room.

I am tucked into a stiff cot, and the covers are tight...

They aren't just tight... I'm.. I'm belted onto the bed, I have a freaking straight jacket on... What the heck?

I glance over at the door and there is a massive golden padlock over the handle.

I panic as I think of how to escape, and then I panic even more as I remember Michael's body, which I left lying on the stage.

I look around, and the room is completely empty besides me and my bed, and the walls are completely blank and white, besides one piece of text painted above my head, which I have to crane my neck to see.

With my head twisted nearly upside down, I can see that it reads "California Mental Hospital."
