Late last night…

Quiet nights weren't entirely unheard of in the city, despite its reputation as the city that never sleeps… but the silence combined with the fog made Finn start to worry that whoever had gotten to the teacher in the school had gotten to Amanda too especially since she was most likely alone in the house with her parents on vacation for their anniversary and her brothers being their usual selves, out partying and unaware of their sister's safety in danger… neither of the five were aware of her wild side, it seemed.

Finn pulled the car over to the curb of the sidewalk outside the Cena house and got out after turning it off, running up the cobblestone path.

Amanda's eyes snapped open, her vision hazy in the darkened room as she heard a knock at the front door and turned the lamp on… standing up, she looked outside and saw Finn, the tiny 17 year old running to the door and letting him in.

"What happened?!" Amanda asked, closing the door.

"Something's happened at the school… one of the staff went missing, there's a lot of blood in the classroom." Finn answered, Amanda nearly screaming in horror.

Quickly getting her coat, she followed him to his car and they headed off to the school… they ducked to the side of the Altima when they saw police and FBI agents.

"I really don't understand how this is a federal matter, Mr. Benoit." Detective Cassady said.

"This matches a similar pattern to the disappearances in the Massachusetts area." Agent Benoit explained, Amanda knowing which case he meant.

She really hoped not to revisit the horror that haunted her childhood.

Slowly, Amanda turned to Finn and gave him a serious look.

"Remember when I said me and my family moved here when I was about five? There was a serial killer who the cops weren't able to catch… one night in the park, I saw him with his fifth victim, small, hazel eyed brunette… next thing I knew, he had slit her throat and just left her there. I… I don't know why I stayed there, I just… I couldn't leave…" Amanda explained, Finn taking her into his arms and hugging her tightly.

Neither were aware of Becky watching them… but she was damn unhappy about it.

Finn took Amanda back to the house and stayed with her in her room even after she fell asleep… he had a feeling it would be the last night of decent sleep she would get for a while.

He at least hoped she would get some sleep…

Present time…

She could no longer keep her anger in and showed up at the Cena house around 9 in the morning. Becky got out of her car and stormed up the pathway, banging on the door.

"Open up! Open this fucking door!" Becky yelled before hearing footsteps hit the wooden stairs and seeing the Finn on the other side of the door.

"Rebecca, go on back home!" Finn responded, the lack of sleep catching up with him and his temper emerging… he normally wasn't so short with people in the morning despite not being a morning person but everything that had happened last night had rattled him as much as it rattled Amanda.

She had woken up in the predawn hours, frozen with pure terror when Finn found her in the kitchen downstairs and clutching a knife… he had no idea that Amanda was a sleepwalker until that moment but knew how to calm her and take the knife from her before guiding her upstairs.

At the same time, Amanda's hazel eyes opened in confusion and she rubbed her tiny hands over her face, trying to recall everything that had happened last night after Finn had brought her back home.

"Not until I set her straight!" Becky growled and shoved past Finn, running up the stairs and busting Amanda's bedroom door open as Finn followed her upstairs to try to prevent a fight.

Amanda bolted up out of the bed, still in her cold weather clothes.

"What the hell is going on?! You two are hiding something, what is it?!" Becky demanded.

"We're not hiding anything and you need to leave!" Amanda responded, grabbing Becky's arms to prevent the taller girl from hitting her. "Calm down!" She and Finn said, ironically at the same second.

But Becky didn't… the fight couldn't be prevented but Finn tried his best to pull them apart.

Unfortunately, Becky took that opportunity to kick Amanda's right ankle out from under her and Amanda was sent flying down the staircase.

It was all a blur from there as Amanda heard the blurred voices and tones of a number being dialed before slipping into unconsciousness completely.

Amanda's perspective…

At some point, I opened my eyes again and jump back out of fright, Finn lightly stroking my hair.

"Shh… it's okay, Mandy, you're bruised and concussed but nothing's broken or badly injured. Scared the hell out of me when you wouldn't wake up right away." Finn said.

But what the hell happened to me?
