Don't ------------------------------------------------------------------ 40. Faustian Pact. =================== "Elizabeth?" Matthew asked. "Hello twin, My body suits you!" Elizabeth said smugly. "This is for John you bastard" Cathline spat and slapped Elizabeth hard around the face. "I expected more from you, Lover" Elizabeth taunted. "You.." Cathline started to take a swing again but Kat stopped her. "Not yet. I've got some questions to ask her" Kat said. "Fire away. It's academic anyway. What has been set in motion cannot be avoided" Elizabeth said in a matter of fact way. "Who did we just turn into a cat?" Kat asked in dread. "That's easy, I'm surprised you haven't worked it out. Kitty Liz is the real Stephanie Lane. You see I wanted her out of the way and so, as Rachel Martin I invited her to my island for a vacation. Oh and I threw in an exclusive interview as to why Rachel Martin vanished. She could not refuse and I had the guild take her. I used one of my Rachel Martin pills on her and got the guild to look after her until I could release her. I then flew back and took over as Stephanie Lane just before Xmas. I released the real Stephanie lane when I got here and you did the rest." Elizabeth said in a cold calculating way. "Bastard!" Kat spat. "That's what Rachel meant when her last words were 'ste' I thought they were supposed to be 'Stop' but now I see that she was trying to say 'Stephanie'. We gave her no chance at all" Matthew said sadly. Elizabeth just grinned back, completely un-repentant. "How'd you get Stephanie Lane's DNA?" Cathline asked. "Easy, just before my interview as Rachel Martin started I went to bathroom in Stephanie Lane's apartment. It was easy to pick hairs from her brushes, store them away and there we are. She never knew a thing." Elizabeth said. "You fucking bastard!" Cathline swore again. "You mean we turned Stephanie Lane into a cat" Robert said, shocked. "Yep. Neat huh, You're just as guilty as I am" Elizabeth said. "No, you set her up, just as you set John up." Cathline screamed at Liz. "Maybe but you still did it" Elizabeth laughed back. Elizabeth's laughter was met by another hard slap from Cathline. Elizabeth's nose started to bleed. Kat watched on impassive and unwilling to intervene this time. "Why Stephanie Lane and not me?" Said Kat "Easy. As a journalist I controlled all the information that you saw and read. I could kill the story if required and you would just be a load of cranks. As your 'leader' I could keep an eye on you and manipulate what you did. By being the mediator between you, I could censor the stories you told. Another bonus was that it stopped Stephanie Lane from poking around. I had great fun laughing at you lot, you and your stupid passcodes." Elizabeth said, the bleeding from her nose had slowed to a trickle. "As I thought. So why encourage us to team up? We would have been easier to deal with one by one. Further more why not get the guild to do it?" Kat said. "Elementary my dear Kat. If I'd have picked you off one by one you would have suspected that I was onto you and been much more careful. The disappearance of all those to do with the Bexley trial would have got the cops and world media interested in something else other than why my twin over there killed John. Eventually they would have got me. Much, much easier to deal with you in one go than try and take you on one at a time. As for the guild I could have asked them to dispose of you but then I would not have gained any satisfaction from it, besides the money part was true. I'm nearly broke. Oh and Matthew, nice shot by the way. It looked great from where I stood. Right at the base of the skull." Elizabeth said with a wry grin. "Was it you, who got the guild to get me out?" Matthew demanded, ignoring Elizabeth's last jibe. "Yes indeed it was. I needed to kill you myself for what you did to me and my family, not have some faceless executioner do it. That's why I rigged the trial, so I could be the hand that finally put you out of my misery. No matter what happens you are on the run. In other words, not only are you me forever you face a life of desperation and fear. Eventually the cops will get you and that will be that. Your release also served as a lure for you to join up with the rest of them. I knew that you could not resist being reunited with your beloved Kat again. The added bonus of you looking like me is that it will allow me access to my things at Mom and Dad's house and their resources" Elizabeth stated. "But they've been frozen" Robert said. "They would'nt be when Robert here got Matthew off, which of course 'Stephanie Lane' would have helped with. It would then be a simple matter to turn myself back into the old me,dispose of Matthew and volia, instant millions. Cathline, did you realise that it was me as Jennifer Porter that tipped you off about my deal with her?" "WHAT!" Cathline exclaimed. "After I'd heard about the bust up you and Kat had I needed to get you back together again. That seemed the easiest way, rekindle your hatred of me" Elizabeth stated. "Liz, I didn't hate you. Not until I learned what you've done did I hate you. I'd always hoped that we could be together. I loved you Liz, but your twisted mind took that as though I hated you" Cathline said sadly. For the first time since her capture Elizabeth lost her haughty aloofness. Her shoulders bowed and she began to cry. "I, I thought you were betraying me" she sobbed. "Never mind that, we can all say our piece later. I want to know about the lab. What the Fuck blew it up and why did you do it?" Kat demanded. "As to what, that's very easy. Several tonnes of compressed Propane gas mixed in with air, commonly known as fuel-air explosives. I had the devices fitted as a fail-safe. As to why, I'm surprised none of you worked it out. My plan was to lure you all to a conference at the lab, lock down the systems and then boom. Vickie and Jane spoiled that for me. It was the only setback I'd had. I then had to switch to my alternate ending" Elizabeth explained. "Get us to go to your Island" Matthew said. "Exactly. I'd release Stephanie Lane and then you would do the rest. I could then fly back and vanish, leaving the story dead in the water. Yes my DNA system would be lost but I would able to build another. " "It almost Fucking worked. If it wasn't for my paranoid nature and that CD" Kat said. "My one and only mistake and such a small one. Mind you, even with me out of the way Kitty Kat, your dream marriage is over, Cathline is still alone and Robert, dear Robert I fear that Monica will not be able to cope with you as you are. No matter the outcome I win." Elizabeth grinned with satisfaction. "Why this?" Robert said is he pointed to his female body. "Why not? Call it a sadistic streak. No-one will believe such a cute lady is the great Robert Abbey, it puts strain on all your relationships and damages your credibility. Besides I needed your body to rig the trial" Elizabeth said. "So who was the fake Robert Abbey?" Kat Asked. "Roger Ferry. He visited me soon after I had switched with Stephanie Lane. He was some Kitty hybrid and would have been very damaging, if his testimony had been told. I slipped some sedative into his milk and the guild took him for me. Later on I gave him a Robert Abbey pill. Unfortunately he had some kind of allergic reaction to it and died soon after the change. The guild then made it look like a mugging that had gone wrong. Just like I'd wanted them to all along. Roger Ferry just saved them the trouble of killing him." "I just thought, what'd you do with Jennifer Porter?" Kat asked. "She was a loose end that needed to be tied" Elizabeth said as though she were talking about fabric rather than a human life. "Elizabeth. Why'd you do it? Your'e a doctor, why'd you cause so much harm to so many." Matthew asked with a tears in his eyes. "Matthew, we are yin and yang, we are the never-ending circle. We cannot be apart because we are forever joined. When you jilted me it was more than humiliation it was as though my heart had been split asunder and my spirit poured out. You, even now fail to see it. We are supposed to be together. You spoke of you and Kat being soul mates, that is not true. Search how you feel, you know I'm right. I was content to leave the rest of you alone but Matthew, you killed my parents. I had to retaliate. Not only did you destroy me as a person you destroyed my entire family. With you dead, at least I could be content in the knowledge that mom and dad had been avenged. Everytime you look in the mirror you will see me. We are joined and no-one can separate us." Elizabeth said in the same manner a doctor gives bad news to a patient. "What about the rest of us?, why us?" Robert asked. "Sorry to blunt your ego's but you were just loose ends. Pawns if you like. I do so hate loose ends." Elizabeth said smugly. "Bitch" Robert screamed and lunged at Elizabeth but Kat stopped him. "I'd like to take a few moments with Liz, alone." Cathline said. "Me too, After Cathline" Matthew said. "Are you sure?" Kat asked cautiously. "Look, you can wait just outside. I'll be fine. She's not going anywhere" Cathline said. As the rest of them walked out the room. Cathline sat down on the chair opposite Liz and glared at her with her one good eye. "I can fix that y'know. " Liz gestured towards the patch. "Probably. It doesn't matter anymore. We could have been so right for each other and you had to destroy it in your never-ending quest for vengeance. Why did I let myself love you?" Cathline said bitterly. "You didn't love me. You wanted to use me, just like all the rest. Sorry Cathline but I don't believe you. You wanted to use me to turn John into a woman so you could have your husband and a wife all in one. As soon as my job was done I'd have been discarded like some useless trash. " Liz said. Again her composure cracked and she resumed crying. "Liz. What you didn't see was me calling out to you to rescue me when I was in that hell hole of a harem. How I held onto the feelings of when you touched me HERE and THERE when the guards came to rape me. It was my feelings for you and John that kept me sane for those four months. I then learn that it was you who put me in there and you who had arranged the whole thing. You say you feel betrayed, how in fuck do you think I feel. You've turned me into a creature of hatred, what love there was for you has gone. I'm more like you are everyday that goes by. If I didn't have Kat and the other's I'd be consumed just like you are" Cathline said, her tears flowing freely now. "You, You LOVED me?" Elizabeth asked, still not believing what Cathline had told her. "Of course I did. You were smart,funny and beautiful what was there not to love. I didn't see the psychotic, sociopathic heart beneath until it was too late" Cathline said. "There's nothing wrong with my heart, only that it has been broken once too often" Liz said. "Why'd you let John be killed?" Cathline asked the pain of the question showing in her face. "He was just a loose end that needed trying up." Liz said in a matter of fact way. "YOU could have stopped it" Cathline sobbed. "It wasn't me who pulled the trigger. You can blame Missy Matthew for killing John. I just gave John a way of escape which, tragically Matthew cut short. He's more to blame than I am" Liz said. "It was you who drove him to it. I've seen the effects of your transformations on people. It's devastating. I know Kat keeps it quiet for everyone's sake but she hates being Jasmine from Aladdin" Cathline said. "Yes the choice of Jasmine was inspired don't you think" Liz smiled. "If we were plotting, like in the old days I would agree with you. But this is real people with real hopes and dreams. You can't just play with them like some kind of puppeteer. Kat wanted to have kids and a proper marriage" Cathline said forcefully. "Bit hard now isn't it. I suppose the question is, is which one would be the mother and who's sperm would you use." Liz laughed. "I've had enough of you. Goodbye Liz. I hope you enjoy life as a cat because I won't be feeding you." And Cathline stormed out. "Is it my turn now?" Matthew asked Cathline as she emerged fuming from her encounter with Liz. "Anytime you want. She's evil, she's utterly amoral I vote for giving her the kitty treatment" Cathline said. "I hate to say this but I do to" Kat said. "Look you two go off and do something. I won't be long" Matthew said and went back inside the DNA chamber. "I knew you'd be back my love" Elizabeth said. "What's all this love crap?. You said you wanted to kill me." Matthew said, sitting down on the chair that Cathline had just been sitting on. "Love, hate, it's all the same. You do see that we are forever linked. You said to us that you wished you had taken up my offer the first time. That the cost of your freedom was too high. I now make that offer again. Be with me. Be Rachel Martin's boyfriend, be the envy of the world. " "You're in no position to bargain this time" Matthew interrupted. "I'm in a stronger position that you think. Face it if you stay with Kat what have you to look forward to, A life on the run, A life in a strange body, never being able to father children. All your dreams would be lost. If you come with me now, then I can make them happen again. Only I can reverse the fixer that binds you. I can design you a male body as perfect as Rachel Martin's was female. No chemical leash this time. Just you and me forever." Elizabeth said seductively. "I love Kat, no matter what" Matthew said forcefully. "That maybe but what quality of life will you have?" Elizabeth continued "What about avenging the deaths of your parents?" Matthew demanded. "There's been enough death, now let's get on with life. I see that now" Elizabeth said. "I'm sorry I don't believe you. I think that you're trying to talk your way out of things. It won't work." Matthew said sternly. "We had some fun didn't we?" Elizabeth said changing the subject. "Yeah we did" Matthew smiled. "Remember when we had the gurney race at the hospital?" Elizabeth smiled. "YOU cheated" Matthew said, pointing a finger at Elizabeth. "It wasn't my fault a nurse got in the way" "Was too. You called 'Quick Nurse, I need help stat!' and the poor nurse stepped right out in front of me. I was winning too." Matthew said, smile on his face for the first time. "You're only jealous that you didn't think of it. Say what about the holiday we had in Europe. That was great wasn't it" Elizabeth said. "Sure was. Mind you, your driving was lethal in England." Matthew said. "I got confused. They drive on the wrong side of road. Anyway it wasn't for very far. " Elizabeth said. "Far enough for my life to flash in front of me" Matthew stated. "See we could have the same fun again, more so. All you have to do is agree to my offer" Elizabeth said. "You're right we did have some fun. But I didn't love you. I would be living a lie if I'd have married you. Your hurt would be much, much worse if I'd have stayed. When did you want revenge on me?, when did you start plotting all this?" Matthew said sadly. "I was on my way to a conference on the west coast. I stopped off in the town where you were living. I saw you and Kat coming out of a cinema. Hatred of you took over then. You were my demon that I had to exorcise. Every bad thing that happened to me was your fault. This whole thing was because you destroyed me, I distrusted Cathline because of it and her situation is down to my mistrust of her. As you can see I'm over that now. No longer Nemesis but Hera. I'll give up my powers over all animal and vegetable life to be with you again" Elizabeth said. "If I agree to your offer will you try to put everything right?" Matthew said. His head spinning with confusion. "Yep. I'll return you to a male body, Kat to her normal Jane Norton self. Given time I can probably clone John from his tissue sample's Cathline got for me. Cathline's eye can be restored. Everything can be as it was. We can begin again" Elizabeth said persuasively. "How can you restore John?, I shot him" Matthew said amazed at Elizabeth's last statement. "I have his DNA. I can re-create his memories from patterns in his brain, which will still be there. All I need is a living thing to use it on. A large dog will do. Thinking about it the same trick should work for Stephanie Lane." Elizabeth said. "You can restore everything?" Matthew said, in awe of the power in which the lady in front of him could wield. The power of life and death. "Robert I cannot restore yet. I've improved the fixer, A version 2 if you like. That cannot be undone. I can however perform the same trick on him as I could do on John" "I need to discuss this with the others" Matthew said. "I'm not going anywhere" Elizabeth said. Matthew left the room, his mind in a whirl. Now what should he do? Elizabeth was promising to make amends and restore everything back the way it was. The cost was him marrying Elizabeth and obeying her. It was Oh so tempting. Look there's Cathline. "Cathline, I have some news. Quick bring Robert and Kat now. I'll wait here and ensure Elizabeth doesn't escape." "OK" Cathline said and raced off to find the others. After a short while they came running into the statue room. "What is it?" Kat said , panting. "It's Elizabeth. She can fix everything. Make me a man again, Fix Cathline's eye and even bring John back " Matthew said excitedly. "HOW?" Cathline said. Matthew explained Elizabeth's offer. "Hmm it's theoretically possible. If anyone could do it Liz could" Cathline said. "So the price of all this is that you marry the 'hell bitch' Kat said angrily. "That's the size of it. Kat I don't want to. What I want is to be with you but sometimes what we want and what we need to do are different things" Matthew said sadly. "No, I won't allow it. I love you, I thought you loved me too" Kat said in tears. "I love you more than I can say. But this way I can make amends for what I did to Cathline and John. Correct my worst nightmare" Matthew said tearfully. "To have John back again. To feel his touch again..." Cathline was crying now. Her hatred of Liz beginning to melt with the prospect of having John back again. "I could go back to Monica, as me. Rebuild again" Robert said softly. "What kind of life would you have?" Kat asked Matthew in unbelief. "It doesn't matter anymore . Things would be right again, that's more important than how I would live." Matthew said. "But what about the 'hell bitch' she gets off Scott free. What about what she deserves. What about me, what'll happen to me?" Kat said emotion building in her voice. "Don't you think there's been enough suffering and revenge. The circle of destruction must be broken. Kat I'll love you forever. You are the most unselfish person I know. You'll grow to understand" Matthew said, his head still swimming. "If she can bring people back from the dead, by using this cloning technique why didn't she use it on her parents" Kat demanded. "Maybe their bodies were too badly burned" Cathline said. "Let's vote on it" Matthew said. "All those for taking up Elizabeth's offer" Cathline said. All the hands went up except Kat who stormed off. "Kat Wait." Matthew called after her. "Leave her, she'll understand" Robert said. "You go on alone and tell her. We'll start dinner" Cathline said and she and Robert walked off. Matthew walked forelornly into the bunker. His head still feeling a little confused. Elizabeth still sat there. "Well?" Elizabeth demanded. "Deal. I'll marry you in return for restoring all the damage you've done. If you fail then I'm outta here" Matthew said. "Come here and let your fiancee kiss you" Elizabeth said. Matthew went forward and Elizabeth kissed him, her lips pressing against his. Her tongue mingled with his and in spite of himself Matthew felt himself get aroused. Elizabeth started to nibble his ear and whispered "Fail-safe Jezebel". Matthew stood bolt upright, unable to move and powerless to resist. "Now my precious. Untie me " Elizabeth said sweetly. Powerless to resist Matthew felt himself untying Elizabeth's bonds. Elizabeth got up and stretched her stiff limbs and said "Oh that's better. I LOVE failsafe's. By the way. The effects should only last an hour and the deal I made with you was quite,quite false. I could not and would not restore anything to anyone. Whilst I'm at it about your headache. Well the phrase 'No longer Nemesis but Hera' triggered that off and made you more open to suggestion. Don't worry that will only last a short while" Matthew was horrified at what he just done but was powerless to prevent it. The headache grew oppressive and he was unable to move. "Now you will pass me one of those dart guns over there, a Rachel Martin Pill and when I leave you will not be able to speak or move for a hour." Unwilling as he was Matthew could not help but retrieve a dart gun from the armory and a Rachel Martin dose from the medicine cabinet. With every ounce of will he tried to resist but he was powerless to prevent himself handing them over to a gloating Elizabeth. As soon as she took them Matthew's body stiffened and he could no longer speak. Elizabeth ran out of the room. Kat had cooled down a little and was walking back into the house. She walked past the bunker and wondered what had happened. Was Matthew really committed to marrying the 'Hell Bitch'. Her gut feeling said no, he wouldn't do it unless forced somehow. She ran back into the bunker to see Matthew standing, unmoving in the corner of the room. The chair that had once held Dr Elizabeth Bexley was empty, the bonds lay scattered on the floor. "Matthew!" She screamed at tried to shake him awake. Nothing was forthcoming, it was as though he had been transfixed or turned to stone. A quick check showed that, mercifully he was still alive. Kat ran to the armory and took a dart gun and then unable to help further she ran out of the room to get Cathline and Robert. She found them in the kitchen. Cathline lay on the ground blood oozing from a gash in her head. Robert had fared little better, he just lay next to Cathline his head swollen from the impact of a blunt instrument, mercifully they too were still alive. With no time to lose Kat ran out of the house and to the jetty. "She must be headed to her yacht. It's closer." Kat reasoned. So it came down to this. As she had always feared she would have to face the 'hell bitch' alone. Fear gripped Kat as she ran towards the jetty. "Focus Kat, it's down to you now". A quirky thought struck Kat , the kind that sometimes leaps into focus in moments of terror. Kat remembered the fear mantra from Dune "fear is the mind killer,fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I Will face my fear". Fuck doesn't work thought Kat but she still carried on running. 41. I'll Teach You To Make Me A Disney Character You Bitch. =========================================================== Liz was just starting to untie the last mooring rope on the jetty when a nearly exhausted Kat caught up with her. "Hold it right there 'Hell Bitch'!" Kat shouted and aimed her dart gun at Liz. Liz whirled round and saw Kat pointing the dart gun right at her. Kat was standing about three metres away, her gun wobbling slightly in a mixture of fear and fury. "Put the gun down,slowly" Kat demanded. Liz noticed that Kat was nervous and formulated a plan, she slowly knelt down and began to put the dart gun down. However as she did so she slowly lifted the barrel upwards, gradually aiming it at Kat. It was nearly on the floor when the aim was just right. "Too Slow Kitty Kat" Liz said and fired. The dart shot out from the gun and hit Kat in the left shoulder. Kat screamed and instinctively reached up and pulled the dart from her shoulder. Unable to move for the shock she stood there for a few moments and then fell to the floor. "Far too slow KITTY Kat" Liz said and went back to untying her yacht. Kat lay on the floor in great pain. The wound was slight but the pain oh the pain. Kat's body was shaking and sweating with fever. Her limbs ached and her head felt as though it was about to explode. A sudden wave of pain shot thru her body causing her to convulse. Kat's dart gun was painfully just out of reach. Thru the pain Kat focused all of her will into moving a hand towards the gun. Just a little further. Only another inch to go. Liz had nearly finished untying the last mooring rope and she turned to Kat and just laughed. She then saw Kat reaching for the gun and ran to kick it away from her. With last monumental effort Kat caught hold of the gun just in time to see Liz bearing down on her. Liz was a metre away when, with the very last moments of her strength and will Kat fired. Liz screamed as the dart hit her left leg. She reached out and quickly pulled it out, finding out too late that the phial inside was empty. She stared in horror at the empty dart and ran towards the now barely conscious Kat. "Bitch" Liz screamed and kicked Kat in the stomach. Kat winced in pain. "Bitch" Liz shouted and followed it up with another kick this time to the head. Kat's face was bleeding now. Another kick followed and another and another until a sudden pain caused Elizabeth to collapse to the floor next to Kat. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have You Missed a Part?.
