Roxy didn’t know how long she had sat on the bed before she finally found the courage to move. She could hear the vermin ripping the contents of the brown paper bag. What terrified her the most was not knowing how many of them there were. There was at least one on the bed with her. She could hear it screeching at her when she kicked her feet in it’s direction…. even then it still refused to leave the bed.
Roxy was terrified of rats. She had been fearful of them from the first time she had ever seen one. They had looked scary enough on tv, when she had seen a few in horror movies…. but experiencing them in person was a different scenario entirely. Not being able to see them only intensified her fear.
When she couldn’t stand it any longer, Roxy got off the bed and used the wall to feel her way around the room. She hugged the walls until she found the bathroom doorway. Roxy quickly found the light switch and slammed the door behind her, not even bothering to look at her miniature tormenters. She didn’t want to have to see their dark beady eyes and long tails. She couldn’t help but think about their strong sharp teeth that was possible of chewing through just about anything.
She could only imagine what kind of a mess there was going to be when she’d finally come out… if she could get herself to. Roxy’s plan was to stay in the light until that damn bulb was replaced. The bathtub seemed like the safest place to be. She huddled inside it’s cold hard interior, wrapping whatever towels she had around her body until she fell asleep.

It was a good thing that Dana got her alone time with Alice on Christmas eve, because her Christmas morning was about to be rudely interrupted. Her doorbell had persistantly rang again and again. Dana tried to ignore whoever it was, but they weren’t going away. She didn’t want Alice to wake up since she was sleeping so peacefully…. and damned if she didn’t look sweet when she slept. She finally got out of bed, put on her robe, and headed for the front door.

F-I-R-S-T!! YAAAAY! Alright, I better make it quick before someone steals my space here, lol. Just wanted to be up here…because, well guess what? I need to go to bed:-((( But I promise I’ll comment on your story as soon as I get home tomorrow. If I haven’t mentioned it yet….this was a super, extraordinary, magnificent and greatly outstanding chapter. Left me emotional at the end *sniff, sniff*. Brilliant masterpeice as always, darlin’….Sweet dreams to you:-))) And you’ll hear from me again tomorrow….
I am always so excited and so apprehensive when I see a post from you, brteyes! I barely made it through 2007 and 2008 sounds like it will be an even tougher roller coaster. But I have my lap bar in place and hopefully I am ready for whatever comes… Sucks that the Fairbanks invaded Christmas. The Gracie stuff was hard to read — my grandmother was that way near the end. Poor Dana. I am so glad Alice realized that she needed to stay and let Dana break down in the safe arms of her love. And Roxy. Wow. It almost seems like she may be getting a second wind. Probably not a good thing with David around, though. Excellent chapter, brteyes!
Well I did post a reply, but apparently it didn’t go through. Quite strange. Well make no mistake my dear, you are infact a sick bitch and I’m not quite sure what has infected that brain of yours. That being said, I am often amazed and intrigued by the twists & turns that you come up with. I’m a little too burnt out right now to come up with a suitable reply to your post or the 2 prior, but I will try to come back with an appropriate reply. Definitely intrigued. As for being lazy, that you are. I’ll forgive you only because I haven’t written anything in years.
okay, ya know what? I’m taking my Chem and Physics SAT.. so I should be really studying; but I couldn’t resis the temptation to open this and read first and last pages haha… So I’m setting this for my treat. I’ll finish today’s study and get my treat back!!! Meaning I haven’t read yet ;) yey, I better get start studying hee hee so that I can read this! :) :) :) :)
So happy that you’re back again. Really missed those updates of your’s. Never thought it possiblethat Roxy might be afraid of rats. Now she doesn’t seem that brave and cocky. Or is it just tactics?I guess, we’ll find out in your future installments. Just hope she escapes soon ’cause I feel sorryfor the mess that she is now. Well, maybe she’s just a good actress and makes David believe to seewhat he wants to see….a total wreck. Marvela is just marvelous, isn’t she? lol Oh nooooo, the Fairbanks family. And I thought I had a bad timing, lol. Alice managed to enlighten this awkwardsituation and it makes me content to see that she’s so understanding and supportive of Dana. How comeyou always leave me wondering what you might come up with in the next chapter? This time I was rathercurious about the relationship between Dana’s grandma and her mom. There’s a huge secret….but now withthe death of Gracie it should be a miracle to discover anything from the past. If Dana’s lucky she’llfind some letters or any other evidence that tells her what went wrong between her grandma and Sharon.This part should be pretty interesting. At least, that’s what my female intuition is telling me, lol. The last part of your chapter was truly emotional….even for me. I don’t know what it’s like to losea person you loved but it should be a very disastrous and painful time to go through. It amazed methat Dana’s capable of showing her true feelings. Didn’t know that she could be that sensitive and vulnerable. Hope she doesn’t spend a lot of her energy though. We all know that she needs all of it in the future. If your readers are right and Lara’s still alive we’ll get to see lots of nasty surprises.You haven’t killed anyone off lately, lol. Who’s going to be the next victim, hmmm? Oh, and I’mscared of sharks….but just a little bit. I’m sure, they’d like me in the end….not as their foodthough, lol. Now it’s your turn, missy. Reveal your fears:-)) Before I forget: how would you exactlyhunt me down? Would like to know that. This was a wonderful chapter, darlin’. I wouldn’t want to missany of it. And like Britney Spears would say: “Gimme Gimme more”, lol. Yeah, I definitely want to readmore from you. Did I say that I’m hooked already? If not, I’m saying it again. I’M HOOKED!! And if I did: gosh, I just love to repeat myself, lol. See you soon with the next post:-) You are truly awesome, brteyes…..
Like with most of your chapters, I’m left waiting for the other shoe to drop. Although after our conversation last night and re-watching the lastest episode … you know what has to happen … you know what you have to do. I’m grateful you’re indulging my request … it’s practically bringing a tear to my eye. It’s an interesting study to see someone stripped down to the barest elements and treating them, if you pardon the expression, like a lab rat. I still don’t like Roxy and I still have no pity for her, but I’m more interested on how this is going to effect her state of mind when she gets out, because I know that’s just a matter of time. As for David, he’s a sick bastard, but I have faith in the fact that he’s going to make a mistake … and if Lara is alive, as I suspect … he won’t be able to control her … she’s his achillies heel … what makes him a loose cannon. I still want to see the effect that therapy will have on both Dana & Alice … especially since they are seeing different therapists. I’m sure no two therapists are going to apply the same course of action and I’m also sure that Dana & Alice are going to divulge different information. Everyone has their own impression of the situation and also a different opinion of what’s important or relevant … not to mention how that advice is applied to their lives. Very pleased they aren’t going to therapy together. hail_danalice Well I’m glad you enjoyed the nickname … I’m assuming you mean the one I gave to our writer, not my moniker. Either way, thank you for the compliment.
AWWWWWWWokay, Dana was being scared of losing Alice too. Because the one she loved so much, her grandma passed away… This is so sad. And…. Roxy’s situation is so sad. Everytime “Vermin” was mentioned I had to laugh… I dunno, I just thought being scared of rats while not scared of others was funny. I just hope Roxy can act out she forgot Alice or something. Eventhough Roxy is an evil force btw Alice and Dana, I truly believe she’s a good person. I mean… seriously, she’s a bad one because Alice doesn’t love her, and she’s striving so hard…. I abhor David. My uncle’s name is David so I almost once yelled “you are INSANE!!” hahahha…. yeah stupid me. And I really want that dang camera out of Dana’s house. If she feels that she’s being watched, I mean hello Dana go change it or dispose it!!! Yeah… I love how Alice reached out to Dana even when Dana was so snappy. I just love their interaction!! Keep posting!!! PPS
I was so pleased to see an update to this story. What a great chapter it was too, i read it just after watching epi 3 of season 5 and i will admit Alice and Tasha are reli growin on me, there was such a sweet and tender moment between them. But thn i finish reading this chapter and long for Danish again lol. I reli liked how u ended this chapter between Al and Dana and the way Dana let Al protect her and hold her its been the other way for so long it was good to see that they are both clearly capable of it when the other needs them. The whole chapter was so good and as always the Roxy and David scenorio is soo interesting i cant help but get the feeling that Roxy is always close to breakin until David shows those videos and the need for Alice comes bak. Cant wait to see where u go next thnk u for this fab update. Oh and as for bein lazy and easily distracted dont worry i have the same problem right now and must update my own story lol. PPS :) X X X
brteyes, I love it when you include the normal everyday stuff in the story. “If you kicked your family out… I’d be upset with you.. think that you’re not the loving and caring person I see in you.” Funny you added it in because this is exactly how I feel too about people. It was good that A at least tried her best with Sharon. I have to agree with D about the good start of the new year. I did that on all my previous birthdays to predict the coming year like thing I ate, people I was with or whether it was a happy day. With A & D, I am expecting the worst and hope for the best. After re-reading this story from ch.1 to ch 82 this last week, I have to say that David had the upper hand and I wonder if there could be anyone smart and resourceful enough to bring him down ever. Unless Bobby and Tony would find out and seeked revenge on Lara and they might have the manpower to hunt David down. Kristen was a possibility, but she was pregnant. Or someone else in the FB! we don’t know yet? I am truly amazed by the evolution of this fantastic thriller. There are still many questions left to be answered. By now, I am convinced that Lara was still alive but who was the woman they kept at Bobby’s mansion? I guess I will patiently wait for those answers. I also re-read the comments. I just thought it was fun to bring up The Pineapple Head’s “Captain Doom and Gloom” again. To The Pineapple head, I thought the nickname was rather clever & appropriate. brteyes, you certainly have a solid group of readers following this over the past 2 years. I am just glad that I have a chance to comment while you are still writing this. Each time I see you post, my heart will start beating fast. In the middle of some of the chapters, it would be pounding so hard. I still wonder if that is the beginning of a heart attack. Pardon me, if you don’t see me commenting in the next couple of months because I will be taking a trip starting early next week. I wish you well and happy writing. And I will certainly catch up upon my return. Lastly, I just want to say “Thank YOU” again.
To The Pinapple Head: I brought up the nickname “Captain Doom and Gloom” given by you to brteyes just as a praise to brteyes on how successfully she has written this story for over 2 years. I thought the nickname suited brteyes quite well for this story. I am impressed not only by this psycho thriller but also the amount of loyal readers supporting brteyes over the last 2 years. It is actually quite touching reading all the insightful comments over the past 83 chapters indicating that there are still a solid group of readers supporting a Danish fanfiction. Without you guys, brteyes and the other Danish writers might give up. So hat off to all of you readers.
