Amanda arrived in Las Cruces. She never got to say goodbye to her father, but her head began to hurt to. She needed to get home. Amanda looked at the lights lit up around her small pick up, then her attention turned to Luke Skywalker, the little cat in her passenger seat.
How did she end up like this? She thought to her self. How was her life before the accident? It seemed like everyone knew her whole life before she became this "new" and confused Amanda. Wishes only wished she knew her whole life.
Amanda drove in the dark night. It was only 6 and it was pitch black, but in New Mexico daylight saving mattered how dark or light it would be most of the evening. Even though it was pitch black the lights of this town made it known that there was room for you to make home.
The next turn was Amanda's street, she was so ready for a bath. Plus she could already see taste the ice tea on her dry lips.
Amanda's pick up was old and rusty but it parked perfectly in Amanda's driveway. She loved being home, and so did Luke Skywalker. When he heard the trucks engine turn off he just meowed waiting for Amanda to carry him inside. So Amanda picked up her worn out cat and dragged her feet to the door.
When she put her hand on the door knob it was cold but Amanda did not care, But it was very suspicious when she opened her door and it scratched the floor. It would not budge. So she put Luke Skywalker on the Chair next to her broken door, Luke skywalker had no idea what was going on so he just stared at Amanda intensely with his head turned to the side and one ear pointing up and the other folded.
Amanda looked at the cat and his confusion look. "Mr. Skywalker if we want to get inside I have to kick this door...", Amanda had kicked that door down like she was protecting herself from a stranger. "...down"..
The cold pinched her skin. She took a step in the door way, but as soon as she went to turn the light on something grabbed her arm and pulled her to its chest. It was a man, cause only a man was as strong as this. He crushed her bone in her arm. He spoke to her in a Deep and Low tone.
"Amanda I know who you are, I saw you today in T or C, but you ruined my life now yours will be ruined your mother would be so proud of me."
When he Stopped crushing Amanda. He covered her mouth with a stinky white clothe, the pupils of her eyes rolled to back of her head and she was limp in the arms of this unknown man.
The unknown man picked Amanda lifting her legs and her back like a Husband holding his new beloved wife, but this was no wedding it was a kidnap. He carried her through the broken door but as soon as Luke SkyWalker saw this mystery man he attacked like no other cat had. The man dropped Amanda, and went after the cat cause this cat wasn't like any other cat. Luke skywalker had some tiger in him. Luke was on the face of this giant man. And drops of blood was filling the side walk.
Luke wasn't strong enough to save his beloved Amanda
_ The Sun was beginning to rise and Bens Motel 6 alarm clock rang loudly and it became very annoying. He couldn't take it no more so he kicked off his blanket Threw the alarm clock across the room so the plug was out of the wall, Then put his feet on the floor but flinched and lifted them back up. The wood on the floor was cold like every morning is.
Ben grabbed a dark gray T-shirt and regular jeans nothing special was going on so why not?
He went to brush his teeth and noticed the black dress in the mirror in front of him, he pushed the memory aside and grabbed the brush and cleaned his teeth.
Foam covered around his lips, He stared at the dress again, Ben could not hold the memory to the side any longer.
Ben washes his foamed mouth and reached for the phone but it rang before even dialing Sean, Amanda's fathers, number. He picked up the phone
"Hello" it was a deep voiced man, he had to reply " Hello who is this?" Ben tried to sound as not scared as possible. "Go to elephant butte today. They will have it closed for reasons I can not tell you I have something for you don't be late". The phone clicked, ben was confused. He put the phone down and thought for a minute
Could he have had the wrong number? But he gave direct orders. Ben picked the phone back up and dialed Sean's number, he heard the voice of an old man say "Hello" "Hello. Is this Amanda's father, I mean Sean" Ben said in a urgent voice. "Yes boy this is him" " This is Ben, a man called and told me to meet him at elephant butte he had a something for me"Ben was a man but he really did not like what has been going on for years .mysteries, and nightmares. "Hmmm... Lets meet at the lake's gates, boy I know you like everything to go smoothly but get ready for the bumpy ride" the phone disconnected..
Something wasn't right.
Ben dropped the phone since it had no use anymore and ran to the bathroom and shoved his things in his personal bag, then grabbed his suit case and ran out the motel door. Running through those halls was awkward especially since the other guests of the Motel 6 looked at him like he was a crazy man, but Ben did not care
When Ben got to his car he opened his trunk and shoved his suit case in there, closed the trunk, and ran to the drivers seat and drove off.
Ben knew exactly where Elephant butte was. Everybody who was anybody did, well everybody who lived in Truth or consequences, but he could not wait to get there, there was something in his stomach that had not gone away since the day of the accident, it was like a knot that could not be untied and hopefully this day would unfold the secrets of the past.
Amanda woke up to a pain in her arm maybe that guy had really fractured a bone, but it was strange. Amanda opened her eyed to the sun so bright she wished she had her sun glasses to drape her eyes from the suns dangerous rays.
Amanda sat up at saw the sand and water that surrounded her, who knew where she was.
She looked to her side and saw a note that had three letters printed on the front. Amanda couldn't make out the words so she looked closer
"BEN",is what it said. She screamed and threw the note. Amanda thought "so he's behind this, he wants me gone"
What happened to her poor Luke Skywalker? What if he was hurt just thinking about it killed Amanda in the inside. She just had to hope her cat was safe.
Amanda looked around once more. And saw the man fixing the broken down mini van.
Maybe this was her chance from God to live from murder or maybe she was destined to die like her mother, with only her father that believed her lies for all these years, But she's is still alive so there must be a purpose of this.
Amanda looked towards the lake once more and saw the chance to run. So Amanda closed her eyes and thought "Go", Amanda barley picked herself up, it was more like a Attempt to stand but then falling.
The man lifted his head from behind the lifted hood of the mini van, hearing a movement to the side of him Amanda looked to see if he was after her, and when she looked at this man. She recognized him, She recognized those dark eyes and that tan skin, black hair and muscular body type, He was the one who claimed to her that he loved her mother and mentioned to never tell her father or there would be "bad things" happening. Even though she never told her father. bad things happened, but why did she remember this she never remembers anything, she couldn't remember anything until only this, but there was one thing that was apart of his physical feature that she recognized. Beyond the cat scratches, the scare across the side stood out on his face.
Her head began to hurt. The pain was indescribable and all of a sudden. The sand in her clothes was feeling very annoying to her, but it didn't really matter. Amanda dropped her head to the floor, she lay there on her left side. Amanda lifted her dirty and full of sand and moister hand to her head which also was trickled and bruised with sand.
The man came running to Amanda. He grabbed her arms and which looked and felt to Amanda fractured and shattered. He lifted her to her feet. It was painful to Amanda she just wanted to lay on the floor where it was cooling her head and the pain in her arm wasn't so great down on the floor as well. Amanda groaned
Amanda was small compared to this giant. And his hand just completely covered her shoulders.
"Do not run or bad things will happen. You will listen or be drowned in this water you call a lake"
Amanda didn't hear the last two words. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she lye limp, being held by only her arms.
The man was confused and not one bit concerned. He dragged Amanda to the spot where he left her before. He was going to leave her here for a reason.
Luke Skywalker mourned over his missing friend, Amanda. He tried hard to save her. He came close too, but being thrown across the yard hitting a tree could knock any human or cat out for a few minutes. When Luke skywalker woke his beloved Amanda was carried off into a mini van and probably long gone by now.
Luke skywalker sat in the door way where the door was before Amanda kicked it through.
