Impossible Survival

"I shouldn't be here...".- Mary Jane Fitzgerald

The Impossible Survival is a marquee event in Don't Let the Darkness Consume You, part of the main storyline involving Mary Jane Fitzgerald. It involves Richard Ramirez, known infamously as The Night Stalker, kidnapping, torturing and attempting to kill Mary Jane by ravaging her heart, only for an outside force to interfere in what was planned to.

Prelude

Event
As Ramirez attempted to persuade Mary Jane one last time into accepting allegiance to Satan, Mary Jane spat on Ramirez's face, showing that she refuses to let her heart and soul become corrupted. Angry and shocked that he failed, Ramirez violently ravaged Mary Jane's chest with his knife, making Mary Jane scream in pain and agony. Ramirez mocked Mary Jane before leaving her to die.

During her last moments of agony, Mary Jane started to hallucinate, watching visions of the depressing moments in her life. Suddenly, in what looked to be the end, Mary Jane saw a vision of Anastasia Wynter in the Boneyard, saying "You won't die", before she woke up screaming in pain. Noticing that she is still alive but gravely injured, Mary Jane escaped the hotel room that Ramirez left her in. As she kept walking in the streets of San Francisco, Mary Jane lost consciousness and was found by a group of citizens that called for an ambulance.

Aftermath
Over the next few weeks, the doctors were surprised that Mary Jane Fitzgerald was able to survive the wounds inflicted by Richard Ramirez, and their surgeries managed to save her life. Mary Jane stood in the hospital until early June, where she, due to the false rumors that Randy Cavanaugh made about the Liars Club regarding the 1984 massacre, escaped the hospital and attempted to commit suicide in the Golden Gate Bridge, only to be found and saved by Jay Ambrose.

In July, the attempted murder became recognized and famous throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and soon Mary Jane became a famous figure. The media billed the almost-tragic event as the "Impossible Survival" as logically, Mary Jane couldn't have survived. This case helped the authorities to find evidence against The Night Stalker.
