A place I once called home…

( But never again… )


Linnéa Lacroix and Zenna Zdunich sit on their rented Toyota Corolla waiting for their friends to come back. They were making the trip to Zenna's old house she had once shared with her boyfriend Kerryn Kali, a trip Zenna had spent the last couple of months dreading... She had put it off, but now with her move to New Orleans to live with Linnea and Alissa almost upon them, now seemed like the right time. Even if it seemed that Kerryn had returned.

Linnéa holds Zenna's hand as Zenna keeps glancing around, nervous and scared out of her mind that they're not as alone as it seems. ten yards in front of the car, Alissa Lacroix and Ross Raines walk up the driveway, eyes glued to the door. The two of them walk up, glance in the slotted window and then make their way around the to the back.

Linnéa:
It's ok, Honey... we'll be fine...

Zenna just nods, almost shaking with the feeling that somebody could be lurking in wait for her here again. A minute later, Alissa and Ross come walking back up to the car. Linnéa rolls the window down as her sister approaches.

Alissa:
Place looks deserted, I think we're good.

Zenna nods and takes a deep breath.

Zenna:
Lets do this... Best to get this over and done with...

Linnéa opens the car door and she and Zenna step out next to Alissa and Ross. The four walk up to the door where Zenna produces the key and opens the door. It slides open slowly and Alissa peers inside.

Alissa:
Looks clear.

Zenna nods and moves in quickly, walking over to the keypad to turn off the alarm system.

Linnéa:
Ok... where do we start?

Zenna:
I... I don't know, I never really thought that far ahead... Living room I guess, I have some ornaments in there...

She pauses in her walking as she walks toward the living room. Her eyes fall down to a dragon ornament sitting next to the phone. She picks it up in her hands.

Zenna:
Mahketa who used to work with me and Kerryn got me this for my birthday last year... Kerryn never liked it but I did... He told me it was a cheap crap dragon and proceeded to buy me the huge one in the lounge, it was like he was trying to out do her, and buy my love...

She shakes her head.

Zenna:
Why did I not see it then...

Linnéa:
You can't blame yourself on that, Z. He's a bastard and yeah, he played you but... I can't say it wouldn't have worked on me at the time. It would have...

She looks at the smaller one.

Linnéa:
That one's pretty... looks like it'd make a great tat too.

Alissa holds out a plastic storage tote that Ross has just brought in from the car.

Alissa: We've got a couple of these...

Zenna:
Thanks Lis....

Zenna walks into the living room picking up a book off the table. Looks like a diary. She opens to the most recent entry in it. It tells of a dinner she had with Kerryn, about her debut in NEW and how she beat Mike Miller.

Zenna:
I know I shouldn't keep this... But I will... This part of my life, as fucked up as it is, it happened...

She drops the book into the box. She gets a sudden feeling that she's being watched. She turns and looks at the window but nothing is there.

Zenna:
Damn paranoia...

She says under her breath. Linnéa hugs her.

Linnéa:
Some day... we won't have to do that anymore...

Zenna:
Someday...

She shakes her head

Zenna:
You know I thought once we left Xavier's and the cameras there that I wouldn't have to feel like this anymore...

Linnéa looks around to make sure Ross and her sister can't hear her. She leans in close, ashamed and embarrassed.

Linnéa:
Tell ya the truth... I did it every night there... before we found the cameras. Lis used to joke back at home on the nights we'd be home together that I looked like I had OCD because I'd wander the house making sure every window and every door were locked three, four... five times... or I couldn't even think about sleeping.

Zenna:
You know, a few weeks I may have laughed that off and said you were crazy and we'd all be fine, nothing was gonna get us but now....

She shakes her head.

Zenna:
Now I don't know what to think anymore... Nowhere feels safe...

Anger grows on her face.

Zenna:
If I ever see him I swear...

She shakes her head.

Zenna:
I hate feeling like this... Lets get all the ornaments here and move onto the next room, the less time we have to spend here the better.

Linnéa nods and they scoop up her trinkets before moving on to the kitchen, Alissa and Ross staying back by the door watching everyone's back.

Linnéa:
What have we got in here?

Zenna:
Just a few small things in here....

She pulls a crock pot out of the cupboard under the sink

Zenna:
This was from my Mum, she gave it to me when I left home... With it she gave me the most awesome chicken casserole recipe...

Linnéa smiles.

Linnéa:
You'll have to try it out with Lis some time.

Zenna:
Indeed I will....

She looks around.

Zenna:
I guess thats it for this room... I'm sure you and Lis have enough kitchen stuff don't you?

Linnéa raises an index finger.

Linnéa:
Lis has a whole kitchen's worth of stuff. I have nothing as I can barely boil water...

Zenna:
Cool, next room then I guess...

Zenna walks toward the door and looks up the stairs, looking like she doesn't wanna go up there. The fear shows on her face as plain as day

Zenna:
That means the bedroom...

Linnéa looks up the stairs.

Linnéa:
You know.. in a way, I've been looking forward to this and in a way... I wanna run out of here right now...

Zenna frowns.

Zenna:
Looking forward to this?

She shakes her head.

Zenna:
I've been dreading it, I guess that's why its taken me almost 2 months to come back here.

Linnéa nods.

Linnéa:
Yeah.. like I said, on the one hand, I'm excited to see what your bedroom looks like. You know, what do you have there, what did you like all that... and on the other, it feels like I'm visiting a crime scene... that it's tainted and we'll both somehow have a violent flashback and when I think of who used to be in there with you...

She pauses, closing her eyes for a second and touching her stomach.

Linnéa:
I start to feel... sick.

She bites her lip.

Linnéa:
But, I also know.. once we get up there.. we never have to come back here again so... I can make it if you can.

Zenna nods then sighs.

Zenna:
Let's do this.

She takes Linnea's hand and starts the trek up the stairs to the bedroom. She pauses outside and takes a deep breath before walking into the room.

Linnéa:
Are we ready for this?

Zenna:
I don't think I'll ever be ready for this...

Linnéa:
I won't make you if you don't wanna...

Zenna:
Oh I want to, I just don't know if I'll ever be ready to do it.... But I have to... I need to do this...

Linnéa nods, reaches forward and opens the bedroom door.

The door opens to reveal the bed covered in dark purple mink blankets and black silk sheets. On the bed sits a huge black panther. An impulse buy on Zenna's part. She loved cats and saw this in the store and fell in love with it. On the wall are some pretty paintings. Against one wall stand two dark wooden duchess's with a huge full length mirror hung in between them.. Double doors open out to a outdoor area which looks out over the once pretty garden. Zenna takes a deep breath and walks into the room. She slowly walks over to the bed and put her hand on the head of the cat. She frowns as she see's another toy sitting next to it. Another little vixen toy. Zenna picks it up and crushes it in her hands in anger.

Zenna:
God damnit...

Zenna turns to Linnéa.

Zenna:
This vixen joke is gonna be real old real fast. This means he has been here. Fucker's probably rigged this place with cams and is watching us right now too.

She curses.

Zenna:
Kerryn, you gutless fucken prick, I swear if you can hear this, if I ever see you again I'm gonna castrate you for what you did to me....

She growls before throwing the vixen against the double doors, making them rattle.

Linnéa:
So... what are we taking?

Zenna looks around.

Zenna:
There was some clothes I wanted... and the cat on the bed... Photos are under the bed in albums, we'll grab all of those and I can burn the ones I don't want...

She looks down at the bed.

Zenna:
I really loved that mink blanket, but I don't know If I could take and of the bedding knowing he slept in them...

Linnéa nods slowly and then gets to work. Within a few minutes, they've filled one tote with clothes and the other with the picture albums. Zenna picks up the panther and they look around.

Linnéa:
Anything else or...are we good?

Zenna looks around.

Zenna:
I think we're good... The rest I'll call someone from Goodwill and send them round to pick it up... I don't care if he's living here, the house is mine and so is 99% of the stuff in it, its all going and the house is going and the house is being sold as soon as possible

She looks around again.

Zenna:
I am done with this chapter of my life.

Linnéa nods and the two go back downstairs where Alissa and Ross have been waiting, watching the door.

Alissa:
How're y'all doin'?

Linnéa:
We're ready to go...

Alissa nods and the sisters and Ross step outside while Zenna re-arms the security system. She steps out, locks the door and then walks with her new family to the car, leaving the house behind forever.
