"When you have no light to guide you, Help me.......
And no one to walk beside you, Oh god, someone! He's going to-
I Will Come To You, No please...... oh god, don't! No-
Oh, I Will Come To You. Why? I- oh god, don't... No please!!! Someone.... anyone..." As the girl went limp and lifeless, Taylor stopped singing and grinned. This one hadn't been as easy as the others, she put up more of a struggle. But they all died in the end......
It is being called one of the sickest crimes in the United States. So far, a total of 12 teenage girls have been abducted from various Hanson concerts across the state. In what appears to be the work of a serial killer, every victim has turned up dead within the week. To the knowledge of police, the killer first strangles his victims, then removes their heart. The phrase "How much?" is carved into the chest of these girls. None of the organs have been recovered, leaving police baffled.
Last night, this killer struck again in our own town of Orlando. Not one, but 4 girls were abducted as they waited to be picked up after the Hanson concert. As last night's show marked the end of the Hanson "Albertane" Tour, Police believe this was the reason the killer struck 4 times instead of once. They also believe this marks the end of this heinous crime wave. Sadly, the 4 victims from last night have not been recovered yet, but Police are currently searching. Anyone who may have information about the whereabouts of Lisa Smith, Michelle Williams, Jennifer Porter, or Kayla Sims, please call your local police station.
"You guys..... Have you seen this yet?" Zac Hanson waved the copy of "Orlando Daily" he was holding at his brothers.
"Oh god...." Isaac looked up. "Don't tell me there was another one."
"I heard it was like, not just one. Somewhere around 4 or 5 this time," Taylor said quietly. "It's been the big story on the news since I woke up this morning."
"Yeah," Zac answered, looking down at the article, "It was 4 girls. Lisa, Michelle, Jennifer, and Kayla.... They still haven't found them yet." He was silent for a moment, then he looked at the other boys. "You guys? I know this like, isn't our fault or anything...... but why do I feel so bad?"
"Zac, dude...... we couldn't have done anything different, ya know? There's a lot of sick people in the world," Taylor answered. You have NO idea how sick people can be, he thought, suppressing a grin.
"Do you guys think it's over now that our tour's done?" Isaac asked.
"Until our next public performance anyway," Taylor said. "This guy has a thing with our fans I think..... look at the pattern he's following."
"Yeah," Zac said, "The only part that I don't get is why he would....." Zac paled slightly, "Take their heart out." He shuddered. "And the carving thing..... it's SICK."
"Like I said," Taylor replied, getting off the bed, "There's sick people in this world. I'm goin' for a walk guys, I'll be back in like, 20 minutes, ok?"
"Hey," Taylor called. "Jen?" The girl turned around and smiled.
"Hi Taylor," She said flirtatiously. "I'm glad you asked me to meet you here..... I'm like, your biggest fan. I love you SO much."
"Do you now?" He asked slyly. "Do you love me?"
"Oh my gosh, of course I love you. I love you more then any of the other fans out there, I swear to God."
"How much?"
"How much what?" she asked, puzzled. "How much do I love you?"
"Yeah, how much?"
"More than ANYTHING!" she exclaimed. "You guys are like, the greatest." Taylor grinned.
"I guess you could say we stole your heart, huh?"
"You sure did," she said happily. "You totally did, I love you guys." Taylor moved closer to her, and took her hand.
"Come on," he said. "I want to show you something...... alone."
"Ok," she said, disbelieving her favorite guy in the whole world wanted to show her something alone.... just the two of them. It was the moment she had waited for her entire life. Taylor lead her down a small path to a little river bed.
"Isn't this pretty?" he said, pointing at the view of the sky. "I found it today when I was waiting for sound check to start."
"Oh my gosh....." Jen breathed. "It's beautiful."
"I think YOU're beautiful," Taylor whispered. "Tell me Jen, what's your favorite Hanson song?" She blushed, and looked down.
"I'd say ‘I Will Come To You' probably," Jen answered. "It's the best song on the whole MON album."
"What would you do if I were to sing that for you?" Taylor whispered. "Would it make you love me more?" Jen started to look uncomfortable.
"I......... I don't know. Why do you keep asking me if I love you? It's starting to weird me out....." Taylor pulled away from her.
"It was just a question," he said, hurt. "I..... I just really like you, that's all. But I'm sorry if I freaked out on you, maybe I should just go."
"No, Taylor! Wait, don't go." Jen pulled him back over to her. "If you sang to me right now, I'd definitely love you more."
"How much more?" he whispered. As he held her chin in his right hand and leaned down to kiss her, his left hand brought around a leather strap. In one swift motion, Taylor pushed her down on the ground and had the strap around her neck. "You all think you love me," he hissed. "The teeny-bopper magazines keep saying I'm "stealing hearts all over America".... if they only knew how true that was." He laughed. "You've heard of my little crime spree I'm sure.... everyone has. It's made big news. You know, I never thought it'd get this far. I was only gonna do it to that one girl, the one who kept following me around everywhere saying she loved me more then anything. I just wanted to teach her a lesson..... but there's so many of you like her, I have to teach you. You all say you love me, but it goes deeper then looks. The heart is powerful Jen, and you shouldn't fuck around when it comes to that. Now, you wanted me to sing for you, didn't you?"
"You're crazy," she managed to choke out, "You're fucking crazy....." Taylor laughed.
"I guess so, huh? But you said you loved me Jen! I guess you learned your lesson the hard way, didn't you? Now shut up and stop struggling, it's not going to do you any good." He smiled at her, and began singing.
"When you have no light to guide you-"
"Help me!!" Jen tried to scream. Unfortunately, it came out as a croak.
"And no one to walk beside you-"
"Oh god, someone! He's going to-"
"I Will Come To You-"
"No please...... oh god, don't! No-"By now, her voice was raw and starting to die off from lack of oxygen.
"Oh, I Will Come To You."
"Why? I- oh god, don't... No please!!! Someone.... anyone..." As the girl went limp and lifeless, Taylor stopped singing and grinned.
Taylor smiled to himself as he remembered last night. Jen hadn't been the first girl that night. He laughed, thinking about her. As he passed by a magazine rack and noticed his face plastered all over the teeny-bopper magazines, he knew she wouldn't be the last. After all, there was a new CD due out next year, and with a new CD, comes a new tour. And with a new tour comes more girls who will realize just HOW MUCH they actually love Taylor Hanson......
