User blog:AustinDR/What Would Have Been

OK, considering how Shattered Innocence is going into a permanent hiatus, I feel that I should say how the story would've ended. Whether or not I'll employ these ideas later on is a mystery.
 * 1) The latest chapter would've had flashbacks from each of the girls in which they had some memory of Lincoln. They try to cope with the loss as hard as they could, but simply remembering Lincoln is painful to them.
 * 2) Lily...Lily would've noticed that Lincoln was missing, and she may be slightly sad about it. The original idea was to point out that because she was still so young, she would most likely forget that she even had a brother. Of course, this would only paint the killer as even more monstrous as he took away Lincoln before Lily even had a chance to grow up.
 * 3) More information on the Royal Woods Stalker. There would've been more description of his career as a killer. For instance, he kidnapped a 9-year-old girl who was riding her bicycle back from school. Her body is found frozen. Apparently, the killer sprayed her with water, and left her to freeze overnight. The hypothermia is what ultimately did her in. Or another was him luring a 3 year old boy away from his mother whilst in the mall. The boy is found in a junkyard. His body was hidden in a broken refrigerator.
 * 4) Mr. Grouse is charged as the murderer due to his nightly activities.
 * 5) Lisa, Lola, Lana, and Lucy decide to investigate, realizing that there were wholes in that theory.
 * 6) While investigating, they come upon the man that they had met at the funeral. He identifies himself as Henry Cooper, a middle-aged man who works as a mailman. When they tell him that they intend on taking justice into their own hands, he pauses before telling them to abandon teh search. If they knew what was good for them, they would drop it.
 * 7) The young girls receive letters in the mail, threatening bodily harm on them if they didn't abandon their investigation.
 * 8) Lana gets kidnapped while she's alone. I didn't work out mentally if she had a fight with her twin sister and the others, but whatever the reason, she is abducted.
 * 9) As many of you guessed, Henry was the Royal Woods Stalker. He had taken Lana to an abandoned warehouse, wherein he has her tied to a chair. He angrily rants about how he had warned her and her sisters to keep their noses out. The killer takes some time out to reminisce on his previous murders. He shows her souvenires that he had obtained from them, and spitefully tells her how Lincoln died painfully with a look of utter betrayal on his face. He then mockingly thanks her and her family for making it easier for him.
 * 10) The tension was heating up in Royal Woods, so Henry was planning on leaving, but not before getting rid of some loose ends. He tries to inject Lana with a lethal injection, but at the last moment, a police officer breaks into the warehouse, wrestling the syringe out of the killer's hands. The sisters then come in, and untie Lana. They explain that while they were investigating, Lisa took the initiative to secretly implant a tracking device in Lana's orange juice (she did the same to Lucy and Lola as well).
 * 11) Henry loudly declares that he was responsible for murdering Lincoln, boasting that prison won't hold him forever. Angered by this, Lori grabs the police officer's gun, and shoots Henry between the eyes. Henry dies with a smirk on his face.
 * 12) The officer decides to fake the report by saying that Henry fell on his own syringe, thus sparing Lori from going to jail for murder. Given the fact that Henry was a monster, that made one less one.
 * 13) Mr. Grouse is cleared from murder, and he is released. He thanks the younger girls for the trouble.
 * 14) While the sisters still had their trials and tribulations, they could rest easily knowing that Lincoln was avenged.
