Shorty St. Fan Fiction

The Ferndale strangler is long dead.. And Alice is lucky to be alive, its life back to usual in Ferndale, or so it seems..

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

“Ughhhhh, 7 Am already” She mutters under her alcohol drenched breath.
Another night dusted off drinking. Everything seems as it should, as the morning hangover kicks in. Her head’s thumping and her throat’s as dry as the Sahara desert. But something doesn’t seem right; she can’t quite put her finger on it. As she searches her memories to see what’s wrong she gets interrupted.
Alice, want a cuppa?” Craig yells from the kitchen.
“Yes darling” She says softly. “A coffee will do wonders”
She drags her self out of bed and into the shower, hoping that it’s going to be a light day at Shortland St. hospital.

As soon as she walks through those double doors, everybody is crowding around frantically trying to revive flat lining patient.
Alice we need you right now! There’s been an attempted murder. Lethal injection, we might have enough time to save her” Kip screams.
Alice rushes over and freezes, it was Kath Henderson; Joey’s mum.
“Clear!” as the defibrillator charges up and shocks the life back into her.
Beep…beep..
“I think she’s back.” Kip breathes out with a sigh of relief
Kath opens her wrinkly old eyes slowly as her vision clears up, Alice is standing by her bed side, suddenly her eyes jolt open and give a look to Alice that could cut right through steel.
Flat line.
”She’s gone”

Alice pulls up a chair in the kitchen while un-wrapping a muffin, the image of Kath Henderson keeps flashing up and she wonders why Kath looked at her with that strong expression as if she had committed the murder. Her thoughts started to wander off again.
"Alice? Are you OK?" Craig asks
"Alice??"
"Huh! Oh Craig, oh yeah I'm fine...just...day dreaming," she gives him an uncertain smile.
Craig looks at Alice and worry sweeps over his face, he is wondering if the death of Kath had brought back bad memories again.
“Well my shift’s over, Love you” Alice says while kissing Craig on the cheek “Ill see you later tonight at home”

After another long day at work she is sitting at the I.V bar but this time she does not feel like drinking, she has only had one glass of wine so far.
Libbie stares at her, "Are you alright? You're not yourself tonight."
"Can I offer you ladies another drink?" Kiron leans over the bar.
"No...I think I might just go home," Alice picks up her bag.
"Yeah but wai-"
Alice leaves quickly in a rush home. She crawls into bed but lay there for a while, thinking, just thinking.

In her mind all she can see is Kath staring right at her, and how much alike she looked like Joey looking down at her, while she was tied down, helpless, slowly she drifts off to sleep. Flashbacks of that horrific day, begging for mercy, but getting none, she was helpless.

Alice wakes up, in the dead of night and sweating uncontrollably. She sits up and sees Joey sleeping next to her. It can’t be, he’s dead isn’t he? But she’s not thinking straight. The feelings rush back to her of what she would have done to that bastard if she was untied, but she’s got her chance now she’s no longer helpless and it’s not going to slip away.

Dead silence as her hate filters the air around her.
She’s creeping into the kitchen,
She’s grabbing the knife,
She’s getting her revenge,
She’s getting it now.

Her bloodlust is at psychopathic levels now, and then it hits her like a ton of bricks, an epiphany. The feeling she’s experiencing right now seems all too familiar.
She’s done this before… her memory suddenly seems clears up,
She was the one who tried to kill Kath Henderson last night.
She’s no better then Joey if she goes through with this, she begins to put the knife down
ALICE!” he yells
Panic sets over her and she doesn’t know what to do. The grip on the knife tightens, and with deadly precision she strikes down with great vengeance, unlike the scissors, she twists the blade to make sure the deed is done.
She flicks on the light just so she could see the look on his face.

It’s not Joey.
“CRAIG, WHAT HAVE I DONE” she yell’s frantically

She rushes over to his crimson covered body, and with his last breath whispers out
“How could you….”

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK “Open up it’s the police! We have reason to believe that Alice Piper is the murderer!”
The door gets busted down to smithereens and a swarm of cop’s rush into the house.
But what they get is the shocking sight of two dead bodies, laying in a sea of red. With a note reading:

"I am Alice Piper, gone but never forgotten".

FINAL~ Fanfiction: Home and Away


Leah was beside herself. In disbelief of what she had just witnessed by the Surf Club. She was trying to piece together events, but it didn’t make sense. It was like a puzzle that wouldn’t fit together. Johnny Cooper and Sally, talking together, actually have a civil conversation. What was this world coming to? It didn’t seem right to Leah, especially considering the history between them. She had to get some answers, so she stormed off towards the caravan park right away.
“Sally! Sally!! SALLY!!” Leah screamed frantically through the front door.

“Who is it? Come in!” Sally replied with a puzzled look on her face.
“My goodness Sal, I thought you had done something stupid. Like…”
“What are you talking about Leah? I don’t understand you. I have been at home with Pippa, Cassie and Ric all day. Leah, are you alright?”
“I was certain I saw you talking to that Johnny Cooper again today. Asking him for…”
“For what, Leah? Why would I be talking to scum like him, especially after what he has done to me and my family! Do you think I am that stupid? I can believe you even would ask me such a thing!”
“Sally I’m sorry if I offended you, it was just what I saw. I didn't….”
“Save it Leah, I think you should leave. I can’t bear to look at you now.”
“Sal, you don’t mean that. I’m sorry. We need to talk about….”
“Just GO LEAH!”

“I just can’t see Sally betraying Ric and Cassie’s trust like that. Not to mention little Pippa’s trust as well.” Roman stared blankly at Leah as he responded.
“So you think I am making it up? What I saw outside the Surf Club today was my imagination? Thanks Roman!” Leah barked at him.
“Leah calm down. I’m just trying to make sense of this situation. I can’t get my head around it. So much is on my plate at the moment. I just can’t possibly….”
“You don’t think I haven’t got enough to worry about either! I got the results from my doctor today!”

“Johnny? Is that you? I told you, you shouldn’t ring the house phone. Do you want the others to find out our secret?” Sally whispered on the phone.
“Sal, who’s on the phone? Is it Matilda? ‘Cause I’m expecting a call from her tonight.” Ric queried down the hallway.
“No, it’s not Ric. It’s just Brad calling about school matters.” Sally answered anxiously.
“So that’s your pet name for me eh? Brad. I kind of like it. Anyway, I got some news from the hospital today and…”
“Johnny I’m serious, don’t call here again! I will meet you again tomorrow at the other location. And this time don’t let us get caught, Goodbye.” Sally replied angrily and she slammed down the receiver. Her heart was beating so fast and she was lucky no one was present in the room at the time, as her face expression would have revealed everything.

Dan hardly said anything all night and it was obvious to Leah something was up. She also had been carrying the burden on her shoulders for a week or so now and it was starting to really wear her down. He couldn’t go on with another sleepless night; he was mentally exhausted and told himself he had to sort the issue out with Leah once and for all.
“Leah. Leah, are you still awake.” Dan questioned her softly as he sat upright in the bed.
“No Dan. I’m having trouble sleeping. There have been a lot of things on my mind at the moment and with…”
“I know Leah. I know what has been on your mind! Why did you think you should keep this kind of secret from me?”
“What? How did you…”
“I knocked the cookie jar off the shelf by accident, while I was cooking tea this evening, and found the envelope. I just can’t believe that Johnny is your own flesh and blood. I also can’t believe you wouldn’t talk to me about it. I thought we told each other everything?”
“I know Dan. I’m so sorry.” Leah blubbered as she reached out for Dan’s warm embrace.
“It just came as such a shock when my adopted mother sent me these documents suggesting a DNA test with this stranger who turned out to be my real mother. Then finding out my mother had another child 2 years after me, Johnny Cooper.” Leah cried hysterically in disbelief, as Dan tried to calm her down.
When she settled, they sat in each others arms all night considering how their future would pan out now this horrible man was apart of their family.

Sally was having serious doubts. Doubts about what she had been planning for months. The pressure was really getting to her and she didn’t know if she could go through with it. On the other hand though, this is what all her hard work has been building up to. And she wasn’t prepared to go on living her life in fear again, that was the old Sally. Finally, after contemplating the outcomes of this for hours, she convinced herself that at this point she had no choice. It was time to change her future. Have a future where her and her family live happily together again, like it was before Johnny came into their lives. So she had to act now, act on her impulse and take care of business once and for all.
“Johnny? Is that you rustling in the bushes over there?” Sally questioned suspiciously, as she double checked that her weapon wasn’t visible.
“Yeah babe. It’s me. Gosh give me a fright! I thought you were Jack or someone.” Johnny answered carelessly.
“Is it safe to come out?”Sally cringed as those derogatory names were really starting to get to her. “Sure. I have something to show you! It’s a surprise, so close your eyes as you come out.”
“Oooh, surprise you say? Sounds interesting!”
“I bet you can’t wait. No peeping!”
“Okay. I’m coming out…”Johnny called as he emerged from the scrubs.
Then suddenly…’BANG!’
One bullet was all she needed to achieve the desired effect.
“That is for putting me and my family through hell for the last few years. Killing Rocco and then trying to kill me. I hated you for it. I can’t believe you took me seriously. Like I, of all people, would actually help you start a new life. You were dreaming. You are scum and you deserve nothing more than to rot in hell.”
“Sally…” Johnny gasped for air. “I’m truly sorry! I had changed, you changed me. But I guess you will never…” Johnny starting choking and was coughing up blood, then his body shutdown on him.
“This is the end for you Johnny. Game over. I won.” Sally yelled at his corpse. Then a rush of emotion came over her. She broke down and cried. The fight was over.
“I’m FREEEE!” she exclaimed joyfully as her arms reached out to the sky.

Home and Away Fanfiction - FINAL


Cassie clutched her stomach, falling to the ground.
“HENK!! HEEENK!! I think something’s wrong with the baby!”

“Have you heard about Cassie? Poor girl. She’s in hospital right now. Looks like it’s happening again…”
“Colleen! Stop your yabbering, girly. I’m sure Cassie doesn't want you telling the whole world her business! Besides, you don't wanna go jinxing the poor girl!”
“Right, right, sorry.” Colleen hung her head. “But this is the second time this has happened to poor Cassie. Oh I’ve never liked that Henk. He’s been bad news since day one! Oh I oughtta…”
“Colleen! There are customers that need serving.”
“Oh sorry, Irene, I’m just worried about her. There seems to be a big black cloud over…”
“Stone the flamin’ crows Colleen! Don'tcha know when to shut your gob!” It was Alf, “Everybody’s worried enough without you adding to their stress.”
“Right you are. Ah, sorry Irene.” Colleen slumped away sheepishly. Irene didn't even hear Colleen. “God please don't let that woman be right…”

“Henk… We did everything we could. I’m so sorry. Cassie’s gone.”
The colour drained from Henk’s face.
“And I don't know how to say this. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Well, we were able to save the baby. Henk, you’re a father”


“Henk? I know it’s a lot to take in. I’m so sorry.”
“What have I done?” Henk stammered
“Henk, this isn’t your fault. You didn’t know you had HIV until it was too late. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry”
“Whatever.” Henk stormed out of the hospital, jumped into his car and drove off.

“What the flamin’ heck was all that about?” Irene asked, she had to work late at the diner and had no idea what was going on.

“Oh Irene, I’m so sorry”

A memorial was held in Cassie’s honour a week after she died. Henk couldn’t stand to be in Summer Bay anymore.
“Henk I know you’re grieving but there are other issues here. You’ve got a baby girl to take care off. I understand if you don’t feel fit to look after her right now but trust me you will change your mind. She’s a part of your life now. What would Cassie think of you if you abandoned her child? Your child?”
“You think I don’t know that Rachel!? I let Cassie down and I don’t wanna let our baby down but I can’t, I just can’t take care of her on my own. Rachel, I can’t”
“Well we can’t keep her in the hospital for any longer. Either you have to get your act together and take responsibility for her or find another home for her. The choice is yours; I just hope that for once in your life you will make the right one.” Rachel’s patience was wearing thin. She didn’t want to deal with Henk, not after what he’d done to her all those years ago. She just hoped that he would make the right decision.

“Hi, Henk. I just came to see if you’re okay… How’s the baby? Have you given her a name yet?” Matilda had come to visit Henk at his caravan, despite her feelings towards Henk she felt sorry for him. She knew how much impact Cassie’s death had had on everyone’s lives, especially his.
“What’s the point of naming her when I won’t be keeping her? I’m going to adopt her out to somebody who can take care of her.”
“What!? Henk you can’t do that. You have no right to do that. Cassie was part of my life too. You’re not the only one who’s devastated right now.”
“Well if it means that much to you why don't you look after her!”
“I can’t believe you, Henk. I can’t believe I came here to see if you were okay. Why did it have to be Cassie? Why couldn't it have been you?? Everybody knows her death was your fault. Why don't you act your age for once in your life!? You’re 30 years old, Cassie was only 18. Just take responsibility.”
“But how can I do this without Cassie? We were so happy when we found out that she was pregnant. We had it all worked out. We were going to move into my place in the city, I’d go back to my old job and Cassie would look after the baby. How can I do that without her? I’ll have no time. I’m not being selfish I’m just being realistic. I won’t have any time for her. She’ll be better off without me, just like Cassie would’ve been.”
“Henk I’m sorry, I didn’t mean what I just said. I know you loved Cassie. And she loved you so much. No matter how many people told her to stay away she would always go back to you. She loved you so much, Henk. You can get help looking after the baby, money, childcare, and we’ll all help too. We just want the chance to see Cassie’s child grow up. Cassie’s gone; she’s all that is left...” Matilda sighed, “Just think about it.”

“Rachel!” Henk called.
Rachel turned around, “Henk I’m busy. I’m in the middle of rounds.”
“This won’t take long I promise. I just wanna apologize for all the grief I’ve caused you over the past two weeks, I’m sorry for everything. I just want to tell you that I’ve made a decision, I am leaving Summer Bay. Tomorrow.”
Well if that’s what you’ve decided... I don’t know why I expected anymore.”
“But Rachel, I’m taking Cassie with me.”
“Sorry, what? How are you gonna do that?”
“Cassie, my child, I’m taking her with me.”
“You named her Cassie? Oh, Henk! I never thought I’d say this but, I’m so proud of you.”

MY FANFICTION PART 3

This is the last part of my fanfiction. its like a million (500) words too long so I need to cut some bits out. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

“Hi, Henk. I just came to see if you’re okay… How’s the baby? Have you given her a name yet?” Matilda had come to visit Henk at his caravan, despite her feelings towards Henk she felt sorry for him. She knew how much impact Cassie’s death had had on everyone’s lives, especially his.

“Johnny? Is that you? I told you, you shouldn’t ring the house phone. Do you want the others to find out our secret?” Sally whispered on the phone.

“Sally! Sally!! SALLY!!” Leah screamed frantically through the front door.
“Who is it? Come in!” Sally replied with a puzzled look on her face.
“My goodness Sal, I thought you had done something stupid. Like…”
“What are you talking about Leah? I don’t understand you. I have been at home with Pippa, Cassie and Ric all day. Leah, are you alright?”

To be continued….

MY FANFICT part 2

This is the second part of my draft... comment me!

“Henk? I know it’s a lot to take in. I’m so sorry.”
“Cassie’s dead. No she can’t be. She’s not dead!! No. Was it the HIV? This is all my fault. I can’t look after a child; I couldn’t even look after Cassie. I’m pathetic. What have I done?” Henk began to sob more and more violently, “Oh Rachel I should never have gone near her. I ruined her life.”
“Henk, this isn’t your fault. You didn’t know you had HIV until it was too late. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry”
“Whatever.” Henk stormed out of the hospital, jumped into his car and drove off.
“What the flamin’ heck was all that about?” Irene asked, she had to work late at the diner and had no idea what was going on.
“Oh Irene, I’m so sorry”

A memorial was held in Cassie’s honour a week after she died. Henk couldn’t stand to be in Summer Bay anymore.
“Everybody’s blaming me,” he told Rachel “and they should be coz this is all my fault. I have to get out of here. I’m leaving Summer Bay”
“Henk I know you’re grieving but there are other issues here. You’ve got a baby girl to take care off. I understand if you don’t feel fit to look after her right now but trust me you will change your mind. She’s a part of your life now. What would Cassie think of you if you abandoned her child? Your child?”
“You think I don’t know that Rachel!? I let Cassie down and I don’t wanna let our baby down but I can’t, I just can’t take care of her on my own. Rachel, I can’t”
“Well we can’t keep her in the hospital for any longer. Either you have to get your act together and take responsibility for her or find another home for her. The choice is yours; I just hope that for once in your life you will make the right one.” Rachel’s patience was wearing thin. She didn’t want to deal with Henk, not after what he’d done to her all those years ago. She just hoped that he would make the right decision.

“Rachel, are you okay?” Tony had just arrived home from work at the gym. “Come here.”
He held his arms open and embraced his fiancĂ©. “You’re home early. Why are you crying? It’s that Henk isn’t it? What has he done, Rachel?”
“I’m fine, Tony. It’s just I’ve been so busy I haven’t even had time to think about everything. And seeing Henk so often and having to talk to him, day after day, after all that he’s done to me, having to comfort him, it’s too much. And Cassie, why did she have to fall in love with him. Look what’s happened. She had her whole life in front of her, Tony, and he’s taken it away from her. He’s even considering leaving the bay. Without the baby. Cassie didn’t deserve this, Tony, why did everything have to work out this way?”
“It’s okay Rachel. Everything will be okay. I think that same thing all the time. Young Cassie had her whole life ahead of her, I just don’t understand it. But we have to accept it. All we can hope for now is that Henk won’t let his kid down like he has everybody else.”
