‘That’s okay.’

‘Is she awake Ging?’

‘Sure but we’ll have to eat going along I want to get there by day break.’

Hail pulled into the service station. ‘We need some gas too.’

Ging opened the door Hail got into the back with Lailah closing the door whilst Ging filled up.

‘I’m just going to pay for this and get some thing to eat.’

‘Sure.’

Ging walked away going into the gas station shop.

Hail turned. ‘Alone at last.’

Laila backed herself up against the car door. Hail leaned forward smiling she sat nervously.

‘Chill babe I aint going to hurt you.  I just want to show you how much I want you.’

He placed his lips on hers kissing her she returned his kiss nervously he kissed her harder and harder.

Ging jumped back into the car closing the door. ‘Can’t you wait till we get to the hotel?’

Hail pulled away. ‘Suppose.’

‘Good.’ Ging said pulling away.

Ging parked up in front of the hotel.  ‘We’re here.’

‘Finally I can have a shower.’

They closed the doors behind them Hail took Laila’s hand and they all walked into the hotel signing in.

They went up to their rooms. ‘Well here’s your key. I’m only next door.’

‘Cheers bro.’ Hail said taking the key off him. Swiping it to open the door.

‘See you in the morning.’

‘We’ll find some digs tomorrow Ging said swiping the key.

‘Sure.’ Hail said. He looked at Laila and took her hand. ‘Coming babe?’

She smiled.

Ging winked at Laila she smiled politely they walked into their room closing the door. Ging walked into his, his door closed too.

Hail turned placing his lips on Laila’s kissing her.

He pulled away, looking into her eyes smiling.

‘What?’

‘You’re still as gorgeous as the day I met you.’

‘I don’t feel it.’

‘Trust me, let’s finish where we left off.’

He took her hand leading her over to the bed pulling her down on to it. He placed his lips on hers kissing her hungrily as they undressed. He slipped inside her making love to her kissing her hungrily pressing his lips on hers kissing her harder and harder.

He pulled away and lay besides her gliding his hand down her face. ‘I love you.’ He pecked her on the lips.

She closed her eyes.

Hail pulled himself up.

‘I’m going into town bro find us some digs.’

‘I’m taking the DVD too see if someone will take it on and out off our hands.’

‘Sure.’

‘Just think bro big money.’

‘Yeah.’

‘I’ll come back and talk to you soon as.’

Ging closed the door.

Laila walked in from the bathroom.  ‘I thought I heard Ging.’

‘You did.’

‘Where is he?’

‘Gone to find us some digs and to see if anyone will take on the movie.’

‘Do you think they will?’

‘I hope so or we’ll never hear the end of it.’

Laila walked over to the window looking out over all the high rise buildings.

‘Great aint it?’

She smiled.

Hail placed his hands on her face.  ‘If this movie’s a hit we could have a place out here.’

She smiled vaguely, looking at him.

‘Me and you against the world.’

He leaned forward placing his lips on hers kissing her.

‘Joeb there’s a young man here to see you, he wants to talk to you about making a movie.’

‘Tell him to come back tomorrow.’

‘He insists that it is important Joeb, shall I send him in?’

Sure why the hell not? See what he’s got to offer.’

She smiled and walked out closing the door behind her. Looking at Ging.  ‘Mr.Reid will see you now.’

Ging smiled.  ‘Thanks.’

Ging knocked the door.

‘Enter.’

Ging opened the door stepping in, closing it behind him.

‘Come over I don’t bite.’

Ging walked over cautiously to the desk.  ‘Delilah said it was important.’

‘Yes Sir it is.’

‘Spit it then tell me what you’ve got.’

‘Well me and my friends shot this DVD, and well we sort of hoped we could make it in to the movie.’

‘So you thought you’d bring it to me and see what I thought.’

‘Well yeah.’

‘What’s it about son?’

‘Here take a look.’  Ging said passing him the DVD.

Joeb took the DVD off him.  ‘Take a seat and let’s have a look.’

Ging sat opposite in a leather chair as Joeb opened the DVD player and placed the DVD on the tray closing it, waiting for it to read the disk then pressed play.

Flashing images and screams echoed out. ‘The Slasher’ self imposed on the screen in blood red litters dripping.

‘Impressive so you do all of this yourself?’

‘Yeah.’

They continued watching the DVD engrossed.  Joeb sat smiling. Impressed.

The guitars introd.

‘Whooh oh yeah (screamed). Hate myself Hate every one hating me, hating you.  Child of the night me make sure no one else can have me under your spell. Child of the night

Hail took a breath.

‘You ready for the crucifix?’

‘Come on there’s got to be at least a hundred girls in the audience tonight scream for me.

They all screamed.

‘I can’t hear you a little louder.’

They all screamed.

The room shuck.

‘That’s better I’ll take you.’

He pointed to a red haired girl on the dance floor surrounded by males.

‘Yes you.’

Catty looked at her friends.Her friends egged her on. She turned making her way through the crowd to the stage. She walked slowly across the dance floor to the stage where he took her hand leading her up onto the stage.

‘So what’s your name?’

‘Catty.’

‘Well Catty don’t worry this is my first time too.’

She stared at him panicking as he led her to the crucifix and tied her to it.

‘Only kidding I’ve done it a thousand times before.’

He pushed the steps away and turned to the crowed.

‘When I say what shall I do with her you shout kill her lets try it.  What shall I do?’

‘Kill her!’

‘I can’t hear you a little louder what shall I do?’

‘Kill her!’

‘That’s better.’

The band slammed the guitars heavy and fast.

‘She’s on the crucifix what shall I do?’

‘Kill her!’

‘She’s hung for doing wrong what shall I do?’

‘Kill her!’

He held the microphone out to the crowd.

‘I can’t hear you!’

‘Kill her!’

He pulled a knife out of his pocket showing it to the audience

They stood shocked

‘Child of the crucifix could do no wrong but she lost her way what shall I do

‘Kill her!’

‘The gods have spoken we must kill the child of the crucifix of the devil’

He turned to the red haired girl, slashing her.  ‘A cross I leave on the child of the crucifix now she is dead the devil is no longer.’

The curtains dropped the lights dimmed.

‘Goodnight and god bless, see you soon.’

Laila turned on the shower, she slipped out of her robe stepping into the shower pulling the shower curtain across. The door closed. Footsteps echoed across the hall a male in dark clothing walked into the bathroom.  He pulled the curtain back.

Laila screamed.

He slashed her arms and her ******.

Laila dropped, he caught her then carried her across to the bed placing her down onto it.

Hail climbed onto the bed looking down on Laila, she opened her eyes looking at him her eyes terrified.

She screamed hail placed his hand over her mouth he slipped inside her having sex with her.

He removed his hand off her mouth replacing it his lips before she screamed again kissing her hungrily gliding the knives down her flesh slicing it. Tears rolled down her face. He pulled away placing his feet firmly onto the floor and walked away leaving Laila lying on the bed ***** in blood.

Laila walked into the room in a satin gown. She walked slowly over to Hail. He placed his hands on her shoulders. They looked at one another eyes fixed on the other. He slid his hands down her body untying the knot in the satin gown he slipped his hands under the gown pushing it off her body bearing her ***** flesh.

Hail placed his lips on hers kissing her pulling out two knives slashing her arms placing them back in their sleeves on his jeans.

 He pulled away taking her hand leading her over to the bed throwing her on to it.

He stripped of getting onto the bed whispering into her ear, turning her over. He turned holding onto her hips slipping inside he having sex with her.

Hail slipped his hands under the pillow grabbing a further two knives slashing her swiping them across her back she screamed as he slashed her again.

He dropped the knives to the floor continuing to have sex with her digging his nails into her back dragging them down her spine blood seeped from each and every cut, even the scratch marks he had made.

Hail placed his legs either side of Laila, turning her over.

Laila looked at Hail dazed.

Hail placed his lips on hers kissing her, lifting her legs so her feet were placed firmly on the bed.

He eased himself inside her having sex with her picking up the two knifes off the bed gliding them down her legs. He moved away from her lips looking down on her gliding the knives down her body.  He pushed harder dropping the knives to the floor.

Hail walked back and forth in front of the crucifix miming, holding a knife.

Laila screamed.

Hail slashed a cross upon her body her head dropped lying limp.
