A Glass Friendship
Chapter II
And so you see, my friends, how much a kiss can change. For why it may help two souls, one life it may further derange.
===============================================
Thoughts raced through Freddy's mind. Betrayal! Liar! Faker! How dare he pretend to be my friend only to get close to her, that, that witch! But I will get them. I will set this straight and offer another chance.
Seething on the inside, Frederick finally cracked. "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS, YOU BACKSTABBER? DO YOU ENJOY MY PAIN? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?" Frederick then stomped off, weeping.
===============================================
Now why do I tell this episode of life? Why recount the pain? For this is when unstability turns to madness, this is when our poor friend Frederick started to go insane.
===============================================
Freddy hid under a bush in the gardens, weeping. Get up, Freddy, you mustn't cry. Crying is for little boys and girls. Don't cry Freddy, men don't cry.
Freddy's moment of anguish was soon interupted, though, by a familiar voice he loved and loathed.
"Freddy, are you under there?"
"Go away and never speak to me again."
"Freddy, I know you're upset, but we're in love, and if you can't come to terms with that,then I'm sorry for you, but not about me and Lizzie. I'll never be sorry about that."
"Come down here," Already Frederick's mind was formulating a plot to kill him. It would take time, of course, but of course, he had an entire lifetime. He just had to keep Jimmy his friend. By whatever means possible.
Jimmy, oblivious to his "friend's" thoughts, crouched down. "Yes, Freddy?"
"I'm sorry I got mad at you, I guess I just kind of... lost it out there."
"It's okay, Freddy, these thing happen."
===============================================
But if only Jimmy had known the truth, that Freddy had lost more than his temper out there!
And so the seasons turn again, as they have for all of time. But love only grew and hate only deepened, and minds still seethed with wounded pride. For madness grows if you give it time, until it destroys all.
Ten More Years Later
I t had been a wonderful wedding, a perfect day, but now the wedding bells were silent, for husband and wife had other bussiness to attend to. We will find them in the hospital, unconsiously weaving more into the fabric of their impending pain. But she was in enough pain for now.
"Come on Lizzie, push!"
"Jimmy, help me Jimmy!"
"I'm here, honey, you just have to push. The midwife will help you."
Soon, the crying of a baby filled the air. The midwife smiled and said, "It's a girl!"
"She's beautiful, isn't she?"
Elisabeth smiled, "She's adorable."
Another voice came in, "Yes, she is. So, what will you name her?"
The new mother looked at her baby, and then at the speaker, "I have the perfect name, Freddy, I'll name her Rose."
The midwife looked up, a name you didn't hear much, but a pretty one. "Rose it is. You can take her home in two days, Mrs. Johnson. It's just as well, you're on bed rest for the next three. It's not every mother who can birth a ten pound baby without anesthesia, you're a strong woman."
Jimmy smiled, "Yes, and she's my woman."
Freddy blanched, but quickly recovered. A baby, hmmm, this could change my plan. No, I've put too much work into it, England will go to war, and I will have revenge then. But I might be able to squeeze it in. But could I harm a baby?
Descision point
What about it, do you think Freddy will harm an infant?

I think Freddy's more likely to focus on the wife than the child. It won't, ultimately, stop him - but if there's a way to get around it without hurting the baby, he'll take it.
Another good chapter Alegria

I agree with Shady that it is more likely the wife is going to be a focus. But he can use Rose to his advantage. Gain her trust by acting like a doting relative. Thus Jimmy becomes jealous.

Hmmm, this may sounds pretty dodgy, but could he wait until she has grown old enough, then take her for his bride? He could court her for a few years, then try and get her to run away with him. In one sense Lizzie and Jimmy would realise what he's doing, but then he could get really twisted and use her to get back at the dastardly couple.
Good chapter again Alegria!

Soily, you're really twisted. But not that much since I just read this article about a 33 year old guy marrying a 104 year old woman, which I think sounds worse.

I don't think that is correct Lordy, I have seen various news articles where the woman has been arrested.

Okay, Okay, ***ked up idea here... don't think I'd ever do anything like this myself, but you've portrayed him as insane sooooo...
Kidnap Rose when Jimmy, alone, is responsible for her. As Jimmy's friend, I'm sure finding the "right" moment won't be too hard. Fred could even arrange the proper distraction. Then, in the aftermath, be the good friend/counselor/supportive guy to Lizzie and subtly suggest how angry she should be towards Jimmy for failing to watch their daughter appropriately and so on... cultivate a hatred for him in her, and a reason to believe that Frederick is her hero.
Sell the child out to some korean dude or something, but maintain knowledge of her location... It could be another way to torture Jimmy later.
This would be a strategy for stealing Lizzy from Jimmy, but he's not in love with Lizzy, just wants to use her and to make Jimmy's life hell. So this would only be to serve that purpose, the beginning of a master plan.
You mentioned that Frederick has a plan already, but u didn't say what it consisted of. Unfortunately, its hard to weigh what to do in this situation, given we don't know what he was planning to do otherwise.
Good story by the way... not fantasy tho... still, putting it in the same category as humor... naw... it does fit as an 'expirimental' but only loosely, maybe horror?

Good idea, Rav.
I think that Rose is of better use to Fred if she were alive. The possibilities seem to be endless.

Actually Switzerland usually fetches a high price...
Yes, that could work really well Rav - I like it. If it was still around I'd persuade the lads to let you join the EVIL Guild. Meh. However, by getting Lizzie to fall for him - even if he's lost interest in her - would still be a great way to strike back at Jimmy.
I do still feel this suits Fantasy - afterall, who knows what will happen later?

Well, I would open the new polls, but I can't delete the old one for some reason. 
Interestind if twisted ideas, keep them coming.

Sorry, forgot about that one, so many ideas, but, I thought you were just kidding.
And, now that Soily voted, I can't change the poll back. sorry.

Good chapter Alegria - I think Rav's plan is a good one
It has definately lost its fantasy vibe though - if you're happy then I'm going to move it in to Misc.
Happy Writing

Voted on the new poll which I just realised had gone up. Went for the marrying option, but now I can't remember if that's the one I wanted to vote for.
Damn.
Problem is, if you it, hasn't it been nominated for a few IFy's? Wouldn't that effect them?

Leave her alone for now. When she becomes more useful, attack then.

Yes, wouldn't that affect the IFys? How about we wait till the IFys are over? Anyway, I voted to leave her be.

I can't believe none of your sick and twisted minds thought of kidnapping her, then, when Jimmy boy has almost given up on her, say that you supose you should take one last look on your own and then find hre. This would make Jimmy look stupid and feel ashamed and you'd be boosted in Lizzie's way of looking.

Because he has no want to make Lizzie like him now, that bird has flown Kidnapping then finding the girl may embarase Jimmy, but it would actually make him gratful, and cement the bonds of their 'friendship'.

Like Lordy has said. Lizzie is a lost cause. Freddy should make use of the child in his revenge scheme.

OK, then, keep the banter up that is oh so fun to read in this Storygame, while you wait for the next chapter. The winner is: Kidnap and sell her.
This is going to be interesting.

My votes in now - sorry for the delay.
And you're right about the IFY's - we'll leave you here for now and decide again afterwards.
Happy Writing

By the way, because we can't decide which country to sell her in, how about we clone her? then we get lots of high prices.

One small problem, this is set in the 1800s. They didn't have cloning back then.

That would be a problem. I was just thinking. If this takes place in the 1800s, will there be problems with the age difference between husband and wife also?

Well, that's not the winner, but, probably not. At that time, girls married very young and it was perfectly acceptable for a fifty year old man to marry a fifteen year old girl.
Please corrcect me if I'm wrong.

I am no historian, so even I am not certain. I was thinking of the Regency age, which is the very late 1800s. We would need Rav or somebody who is more into history than either of us.

The guy's rich. I bet they knew tons of stuff back then they didn't let the common people know. Nowadays Labour Party Doners are probably traveling through time.

| Well... 1800's... I suppose marriage customs were dependant on the country you were in... Things were still being arranged but no, it wasn't unheard of for older men to marry younger women and the general age of marriage was around 14 or so.

Of course, if he did marry her, then Freddy and Jimmy would be related, which always adds to this sort of story.

Well, it's what I voted for, but I was just mulling. Ah well. Let the kidnapping begin!

Marriage would have brought them closer. May have given Freddy the position he wanted to further implement his revenge.

Well since we probably will never know since we didn't go in the direction of marriage, there's not much use speculating the idea any further.
Now on to the idea of kidnapping the girl and sellin her. To whom are we to sell her to? Right now, since I am still thinking about the Asian Civ exam, is to a Tantric Buddhist monastery or something along those lines....

Like I said, my head was still on the Asian continent. LOL.
Actually Tantric Buddhism is probably everywhere. You just need to know where to go. I have no doubt that a lot of places that make use of child labor would have HQs at many locations.
