The Withered Lover
Jessica
There is no one as loveable or strange as The Withered Lover. This version of her is of one of my most annoying enemies I had ever faced; Jessica of the Sand.
Born with no mother or father, Jess lived among what people would call "freaks". With only Autism, a child's innocence, a 3'5" body, and telekinesis, Jess yearned for love. One way that she felt loved was letting a giant eat her or let boys drink her sweet blood. Confused by God, had a fear for hospitals, and constantly dying and bring back to life made Jess strange. But when she was just 15 years old, she married Taro became pregnant, and made friends with The Juggernaut.
One Christmas Night, Jess was standing with Taro near Time Square while The Juggernaut was loose. Eager to capture The Juggernaut and The Willing Sacrifice, I ordered one of my men to drive a truck and run over the 2 ghosts. Seeing a truck coming towards them, Jess pushed Taro out of the way because of her love towards him. This led Jess to become road kill. The last thing she said before the impact was, "Hurry! Get out of the way!"
The Juggernaut, guilty of putting Jess in danger, picked her up and sent her to the hospital. No doctor treated her because of the way she looked. Due to the blood loss of the truck and she fed The Juggernaut and The Willing Sacrifice blood constantly, Jess died.
When I came to capture her, she was in the belly of The Juggernaut. I wanted revenge for all the things she did. So I locked her up and treated her badly. Out of the 13, Jess is the nice peace maker ghost. She is mostly shy and won't go into her cube. She would either wander around or stay with all of her ghost friends, especially The Juggernaut. Overall, she was the sweet, innocent ghost. However I was shocked of how bad Jess could be if she was angered. The caretaker of The Withered Lover, named Seymour (by coincidence as you will later find out), had the Ghost CAM with him while he was serving Night Duty in the basement one night. This was his tape:
[A red haired man with special Ghost Glasses and a skeletal skin turns on the Ghost CAM and begins to talk]
Seymour: Hello. My name is Seymour the Purple Skeleton Bandit. I am the CareTaker of the disgusting Withered Lover. *scoffs* More like "Withered B****" if you asked me... Right now, I'm on guard duty so you can get to watch me work.
[Seymour goes to the basement and goes to the 6th cube]
Seymour: Hey... nice ti- WHOA! *backs up*
[A naked woman with red eyes, black hair, and cuts all over her body appears]
Seymour: Hi Deiara my little Angry Princess. Haven't you had a date with ole' Hammer or having sex with The Juggernaut?
Deiara: *takes out a knife* What was that? *evil smirks*
Seymour: *gulps* Nothing... Anyway, have you seen Jess?
Deiara: No... She probably wandering as usual...
Seymour: ^^ Thank you *talks to audience as walking* Well, I'm considered the cool bandit. I'm not afraid of these ghosts, even though 3 CareTakers died here. The only ghost I'm afraid of is The Juggernaut... I heard one of his ultimate forms was a man-eating plant. *shivers* Ever since my family's history, I am scared of those flytraps, man. Please don't tell Gail I said that...
[In 10th and 11th Cube: a black man with purple hair and a hammer for a left hand was talking to a gray haired boy with a cage around his head]
Seymour: Spits The Hammer and Andrew The Jackal... Why am I not surprised?
Andrew: >:D Surprise!
Spits: What are you doing here? -_-
Seymour:... I'm giving Jess her shots today... *holds out a needle*
Spits: Good luck... Jessy hates those...
Andrew: Yeah, especially when pretty lady is sleeping with big plant today :D
Seymour: ._.' What?
Spits: Yeah, she's sleeping in Twoey's cube tonight due to bloodloss... Be careful, Twoey is stressed out and very hungry this evening
Seymour: Gee thanks T_T *goes to last cube* Okay with just a video camara, you only see a giant plant. With the Ghost CAM, you can see it as a tall man in a flowerpot... *turns on Ghost CAM*
[The plant's image is replaced with a 8' tall man with green hair and prison clothing holding something with purple hair]
Seymour: Hey Twoey! You've been gaining a lot of weight...
[Twoey gives a death glare and shushes Seymour]
Twoey: Quiet... She's sleeping...
Seymour: Darn... How am I supposed to give her the needle then?
[Seymour looks at Twoey]
Twoey: O_O Oh s***! *tries to run away but can't*
Seymour: >:) If that brat doesn't take her needle, you do it for her...
Twoey: Please don't-
[Semour puts the needle in Twoey's shoulder]
Twoey: OW!
Seymour: That will happen to Jess if she ever does ANYTHING. I mean, she's more pathetic than The Torso *laughs*
[Seymour leaves the room smiling]
Seymour: ^^ It's almost daybreak, so I'll say goodbye to my angry princess and rest- WHAT THE hell is that!? My keys to out of here are gone?
[Jingling sound is heard]
Seymour: What is that?
[In 12th cube, a silhouette appears to feed Twoey the basement key]
Seymour: O_o Uh oh...
???: Hurry...
Seymour: Who's there?
???: ... get out of the way...
Seymour: *getting scared* Show yourself!
[Silhouette walks out of the room and reveals Jess with tire tracks, giant bite marks, blood, a hospital gown, and an IV pole attached to her arm]
Jess: Get out of the way!
Seymour: Look, I-I'm sorry if I hurt your friend there... It was just a little humor
Jess: Really?
Seymour: Yeah, that's it... Uh huh.
[They both go to a conscrution area where a glass door is hanging on the ceiling with a rope attached]
Jess: *holds the needle that Seymour had*
Seymour: Umm, will you please forgive me?
Jess: Why... are you afraid of me?
Seymour: You're asking me that question!? *doesn't listen to what he's saying* I AM AFRAID OF YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE A DISGUSTING RETARD! I'M AFRAID OF YOU BECAUSE I WAS THE ONE THAT KILLED YOU!
Jess: ... you what?
Seymour: O_O Umm
[Ghost CAM shuts off and for a few minutes later, it comes back on to see Seymour chained on the floor]
Jess: Why? *slaps Seymour* Why did you do it? ANSWER ME!
Seymour: I didn't know you, I didn't know your husband, I didn't mean it! The boss told me to drive a truck and find the Willing Sacrifice... I was driving around when I saw the black haired kid. I thought it was the 13th ghost so I tried to run him over... but then you came. At first I was sorry for you... UNTIL NOW!
Jess: *starts to cry*
Seymour: I thought you were beautiful... but then you got hurt and you are disgusting. You are also a f****** retard. Can't you see that The Juggernaut's eating you alive? Can't you see that you should've died when you was born?! You are so stupid to those facts. F*** you! F*** you and your family!! Umm... what are you doing?
Jess: *grabs the rope that holds the glass*
Seymour: O_o
Jess: *goes up to Seymour's face*
Seymour: Yes, Oblivious one?
Jess: *mutters something in Twoey's voice* Bye, bye Seymo'!
[Jess lets go of the rope]
Seymout: O.O I Didn't mean it!-
[The glass drops on the floor, causing to slice Seymour's head off. Chicago from cube 2 faints]
Everyone else: O_o'
Jess: *grabs the body half and drags it across the hall*
Deiara: Wow... just... wow.
Kyuubi: *shakes his head*
Spits: O-o
Andrew: That's something to think about the next time we say a bad thing to Jess...
[Jess goes in Twoey's room and gives him the body]
Twoey: *eating the body* Thanks^^
Jess: *nods and lays down, then starts to cry*
Twoey: *grows up to 10 feet tall and looks at Jess* Are you okay, sweetie? *goes up to Jess and hugs her*
Jess: *in-between sobs* I-miss-Taro! WAAAAAHHHHHH! *starts to shake*
Twoey: I'm here... it's okay... I'm here... *sees the Ghost CAM* Huh?
[Twoey uses a vine to grab the Ghost CAM and look at it]
Twoey: Damn you, Gail, damn you... *throws the Ghost CAM towards the wall*
[Ghost CAM turns off]
