Sweet, Sweet Revenge

1980 Prologue

Karen Jacobson sat lazily . She nestled into a pillow. She was on a bus trip to Lake Wanderoo , where there were lushious rocky waterfalls. Karen was going to stay at her boyfriend Jon's small cabin. There were nice and cozy little cabins. Karen smiled thinking of how Jon and her were going to spend tons of romantic nights together. Jonathon and Karen had been toghether for nearly two years. Karn lived in a small apartment in a town called Sunville. Jon used to live in Sunville up until a few months earlier when his parents decided to buy the Lake Wanderoo Summer Stay. There were 10 cabin's and 6 mini houses at the summer stay. Karen considered moving to Wanderoo to be with Jon but the condsidered her career, having a scholarship in Gymnastics seemed to make her heart content. If only there was a college in Wanderoo. There was a college but not a sports college. She thought silently. Karen tried to snooze but she wanted to think more about her goreous boyfriend . She imagined his how suprisingly happy he would be to see her. She didn't tell Jon she was coming it would be a suprise.

Karen awoke a half an hour later to find that the coach had stopped. Karen began to feel slightly worried that the bus had broken down , but to her suprise it had reached it's destination. She unloaded her suitCarissa off the bus. It drove away. Karen felt a surge of happiness wash over her body. She pulled the Lake Wanderoo map from her pocket. Jon's Summer Stay was just a ten minute walk from where she was . Karen walked up a hill . She stopped at the top to catch her breath. From the top of the hill she could see the greeny-blue water glistening in the sun, the water was scented with salt. At the bottom of the hill she saw some cabins. Karen was overwhelmed and excited about seeing Jonathon. Karen knocked on the house door. Jon answered it "Karen!" he gasped. Karen flung her arms around her boyfriend. Jon was startled by Karen's Hug, He stumbled back. Karen kissed Jon on the lips. "Great to see you Jon!" She said happily. "Uh yeah same here," Said Jon feeling uneasy. "Uh-I Kar-" Started Jon but he was cut off by Karen. "It is okay Jon remain speechless, but just give me a kiss will ya." Jon was hesitant, after a minute he reluctantly kissed her on the lips. Karen enjoyed the long passionate kiss. If only she knew what Jon was thinking.

The next afternoon Jon and Karen sat hand in hand. They were picnicing by the lake. Karen noticed Jon's tension, she thought some kissing might just loosen his mood. After a while Jon pulled away from Karen. She whispered "Love you" Jon smiled faintly but seemed like he was on Mars "What is the matter with you?" Karen threw up her hands in exasperation. "You don't wanna know" was Jon's quiet reply. "What is it? You can tell me." Jon put on an act so that Karen would'nt get suspicious. He started kissing her, his strong muscular arm were wrapped tightly around her small petite waist. Karen was enjoying his sudsden bout of posessiveness. "I can't keep doing this" he said to Karen. "Keep doing what Jon?" She asked with slight whine in her expession. "Look Karen it is over between us!" Karen felt hot tears stream down her face. She quickly wiped them away thinking that if she pretended not to hear her boyfriend, he would forget what he just said. "Karen?" He asked gentelly "Hey Jon a walk would be nice" She said ignoring him. "Karen didn't you hear me? I said it is over between us, I am seeing someone else!" Said Jon again "Who" asked Karen with slight interest. "Her name is Louisa and I met her at school," said Jon. Karen swallowed a lump in her throat. "She lives in a cabin, that one over there" Said Jon pointing to a near-by cabin. "How long have you been with Louisa" She siad Louisa's name as if she we mocking it. "Nearly three months." Replied Jon sheepishly. Thankfully Karen didn't seem too angry. Little did Jon know she was boiling over on the inside. Not just upset, but furious. She had already got revenge planned out revenge. She remained cool on the outside. "Gosh Jon how could you?" "I'm so sorry Karen." He said. Karen walked away, she saw that without Jon, even Gymnastics meant nothing to her and that there was nothing to live for. That night Karen stood over Louisa's bed with a knife summoning up the courage to do it. She then repeatedly stabbed Louisa, over and over. Karen figured that Jon would hear Louisa's screams and come to see what the commotion was about. She was right, She could hear Jon calling her name. "LOUISA!!!" As Jon got closer Karen escaped out of the side cabin window. Covered with blood Karen could tell Louisa was dead. She heard muffled screams of Jon's. 'What have I done, Oh well too late to turn back now.' Karen tought. She let herself into Jon's house smearing blood on the walls as she made her way into Jon's room. She studied the room for something sharp, finally her eyes set on a potentially sharp object. A glass of water on the bedside table. She climed into Jon's bed and got under the covers. Karen emptied the contents of the glass onto the carpet she the smashed the glass. She held a long shard of glass to her chest and pushed until she heard her own screams. The last thing Karen Jacoson heard before she died was the wailing of sirens.

Jon vowed never to have another girlfriend. Jon was admitted to a mental hospital. He kept insisting that Karen was still alive and his mission was to kill her. The doctors also found signs of Schizophrenia. Two years after Jon was admitted to the hospital, He escaped and was never found. Some feared he was dead.

1995 Carissa MacFarland and her sister Stacey were look at houses for their parents. Stacey and Carissa's parents thinking of investing in a caravan park or a summer-stay. Carissa and her sisters wanted to move somewhere quiet, not a noisy caravan park or a big, bustling city. Suddenly Stacey called out, "Hey Carissa, look at this mad place at Lake Wanderoo, It is really cheap and it looks perfect. Mum and Dad will be able to pay most of that cash. (Their Parents both worked at the same highly paid corperation in Australia but they had just retired.) Look at these pictures of the lake! and the waterfall, it is so beautiful! Let's go in and ask for some more info to show Mum and Dad" said Stacey excitedly. Carissa, Stacey and their other sister Taylor talked about how great it would be to move to Wanderoo. Three weeks later the girls were unloading their boxes from the van their father had hired. The girls parents let the three girls have the house and they would stay in a cabin. Carissa and Stacey were 16 and their younger sister was just 1 year younger. Taylor had always felt like an outsider in the family. Her sisters always left them out because they were twins. Taylor decided to ask Carissa if she wanted to share the bunk in her room. "Carissa," called Taylor "yeah" said Carissa as she appeared at the door. "Do you wanna share a room with me?" She asked. "Okay. Cool I'll tell Stacey," Carissa reappeared at the door "Seeming that is the master bedroom is it okay if Stacey moves in as well?" asked Carissa. Taylor nodded she knew that the minute Stacey enetered she would feel left out. If only Stacey was my age, and I was her's then she could have the special bond between Carissa then she would know how I feel all the time. Thought Taylor to herself. There was nothing that could change though.That night the girls went to bed. Taylor sat and listened to the twins yak away. She felt a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. Taylor was ready to cry. She got up out of bed and went to her desk. "Whatcha doin' Tay" Asked Carissa. Suddenly Taylor burst into tears. "What the matter Taylor" asked her sister who shot up like a rocket and hugged her. "Taylor you can tell us" Coaxed Carissa. Taylor decided to lie to her sister. "I just miss all my friends from school" She lied. Taylor went to bed and fell asleep.

The next day Stacey went for a walk by the lake. She passed a guy who looked mid 20's. "Nice day." said Stacey . The bloke was gorgeous. "Hi did your family move into the house?" he asked. Stacey nodded. "Yeah it's nice," She said. "Where do you live?" She asked casually. "I live in a cabins , by the way my names Jonathon." He said "My name is Stacey, I live in the house with my twin sister and my other one." Jonathon felt immediatly attracted to Stacey but he wasn't about to fall for her yet. Stacey walked to Jon feeling Flirtatious. "Hey Jon can I ask you something?" She asked innocently. "Sure." Said Jon. "I heard a story about a girl who committ suicide in the house, figuring that you live here I thought you might know something about it?" Jon's eyes turned ice cold. He looked the other way. "No it must just be a rumor" He said. Stacey nodded "Must be!" She replied. She flashed Jon a lush grin and flicked her hair off her shoulders. "Thank you for your help, Jon." She started to walk off. "Wait," Jon shouted "Come back," Stacey walked back slowly, "Would you come out with me tonight, dinner on the lake?" Stacey nodded and smiled "Come pick me up?" She asked. Jon nodded.

Stacey walked in the house looking smug. "Why are you so happy" asked Taylor resentfully. Stacey looked as smug as ever. Carissa entered the room. "I , just scored myself a date for tonight!" She replied. Carissa's mouth dropped to the floor. "with who?" asked Carissa disbeleivingly. "With this hot guy who lives in the cabins." replied Stacey. "Describe"said Carissa "Well he......" Taylor sighed once again she was feeling left out. "Guys, I'm going out on a boat. Okay" her sisters nodded and kept on yakking about Jon. Taylor grabbed a row boat from the dock and sailed out. Too far. The waves in the lake were becoming violent , crashing waves sent white faom. The boat was sinking, slowly but surely. Taylor became panic-stricken, she tried to row faster . It was no use, the water was now filling the boat quickly. There was about four inches of water in the boat. Taylor was about 200 meters from shore. She certainly wasn't what you could call a strong swimmer, Taylor could swim but maybe not that far. She jumped into the water and taking long but smooth strokes and being careful not to panic. Taylor came up for air she was gulping for it. She accidently swallowed a mouthful of water. Another wave raised up and again Taylor was punished with amother mouthful of the vile tasting water. She slowly sank to the bottom of the water. Everything went black. Taylor awoke in hospital with tubes connected everywhere. Stacey was sitting next to her parents. "What day is it?" asked Taylor unaware. The family practically all ran towards her and tried to cuddle her. "It is tuesday, a week and a day you have been in a coma for." said her dad. "Where is Carissa?" asked Taylor looking around for her sister. "She is in the lobby, I better tell her you have awoken." replied Stacey. "Is there anything you want" asked her mother. "I just want to talk to Carissa alone for a minute." said Taylor. Taylors father nodded Carissa ran into the room and cuddled her sister "Tay we thought we lost you" said Carissa , She let tears run down her cheeks. "Carissa- I have to ask you something, Why do you always leave me out between Stace and you, When I asked you if you wanted to share the room with me I didn't mean Stacey as well. Sometimes I wish that Stacey weren't here." "I'm so sorry" Said Carissa, "I really am." Carissa looked really upset and Taylor didn't want to upset her anymore so she hanged the subject." "So how is Stace's boyfriend?" asked Taylor. "She is in love." said Carissa rolling her big brown chestnut eye's. "So have you made any friends?" Asked Taylor. Carissa nodded ."I met this girl she lives in the mini house. Her name is Sophie and you know what? She said the wierdest thing today. She reckons Jonathon, Stace's boyfriend used to own our house and he is a phyco, mentally I don't beleive it cause Jon looks and is so nice , He is so caring and generous, the other day he broght Stacey a necelace and a pair of earings."

Two weeks later Jon and Stacey were sitting on his bed kissing. Stacey pulled away for air. Jonathon looked deep into her eyes. He started to hyperventolate. "Jon what's wrong?" asked Stacey alarmed, "Nothing, Kar- I mean Stacey" He replied. "Karen?" asked Stacey. "Sorry Stace , you look like my ex- Karen" said Jon "So you've been going out with me just because you are still in pain over your ex-!" Stacey pulled the ring off her finger and pegged it at Jon "Keep this!" She said distressed. Jon sat looking at Karen, or at least in his mind it was Karen. Kill Karen, Kill Karen the voice in his head told him. Karen had come back diguising herself as Stacey, Jon had to get her back for killing Louise, Stacey/Karen whatever had a death wish. Stacey walked home crying.

At school the next day Carissa walked in the library to do some reasearch. Some guy appraoched her, "Hey do you move into the house at WAnderoo Summer-Stay?" the boy asked with interest. He looked at her wierd and before walking away mutttered "Your brave," "What do you mean?" asked Carissa following the boy. "Don't you know? That guy Jonathon's girlfriend committ suicide in the master bedroom in the house," He informed her. A chill went down Carissa's spine. "Check it out on the microfilm." Carissa walked quickly to the microfilm. 1980 the boy had said. Carissa knew of a story that a girl had committ suicide but she had thought it was just a rumor. She studied the Microfilm and finally came to a heading. Girl Kills Girlfriend and Committs Suicide . Carissa gasped a picture of the murderer looked chillingly like her sister and herself. Karen and Jonathon, the story read, A rough Idea was a rivalry between two girls, to be Jon's girlfriend and Karen Jacobson killed Louisa Minetta . Then committ suicide . The next film of the murder was in 1982 . Carissa let out a cry and turned around to see if anyone had noticed. The picture was of Jon, Stacey's boyfriend. He had a stamp that clearly read Mentally ill. It was a mental hospital he was admitted to. She couldn't wait to tell Stacey.

Stacey walked out of Jon's cabin feeling smug, she had cut school to apoligise to Jon for being angry. They were going for a walk up to the falls. Stacey waited outside for Jon. Inside Jonathon put a flick knife into his sock. It was about four o'clock Stacey would be home from school now. They got up to the falls.

Carissa was searching frantically for Stacey. Taylor had told Carissa that Stacey had apoligised to Jon because Jon had called her Karen. Taylor and Carissa ran around looking for their sister, they had a hunch that Jon had some kind of Plan for Stacey.

"How could you," "How could I what?" asked Stacey. "How could you Karen?" Jon's eyes were frozen cold which scared her. "Look Jon I don't know what your problem is but my name isn't Karen it's Stacey, Get with it." Jon's face turned furious. He grabbed Stacey and shook her. "Why did you kill Louisa, Karen? You killed her and now you are going to pay, I am going to kill you! " Stacey screamed "TAYLOR, Carissa!!!!" "Oh bout your sisters, they can't hear you. Only you and me Karen," Jon dived on Stacey.

The sisters had looked everywhere except the falls. They ran off "Taylor I heard Stacey, she just screamed our names " They ran . Panting they reached the top of the falls. "Die Karen!" Jon had a knife raised ready to strike Stacey with it. Carissa grabbed a knife she had taken in her pocket just incase. She stabbed Jon in the shoulder. He dropped the knife on Stacey's face , leaving a gash. Carissa then helped her sister up and ran for help.
