Chapter 4

Ruthie walked down the hall. She tried to dress in her normal attire, but couldn't bring her self to show any skin. She wore a beautiful red sweater, her Levis and black boots. Her hair was down in its natural curl.

Ruthie felt like everyone was looking at her. Like she was trash or some kind of slut. I know what you're probably thinking. do they know she was raped? No they don't, but the paranoia was still there haunting her, Peter's face was haunting her, that night was haunting her.

Ruthie saw her other best friend Sarah. She thought about telling her, but she didn't want her to worry.

"Hey Chicky, you look different." Sarah accused.

"It's still me same old Ruth." She said as she did her combination.

"You seem frightened or tire, or I don't know I can't put my finger on it, but there is something off." She said gently trying to figure her out.

"Look I'm fine just leave me alone!" Ruthie exclaimed. Everyone turned to look at her and Ruthie tried to escape there glances as best as she could.

…………………………………………………………………………

Peter stood behind a bush at Glenoke high. He wanted to explain to Ruthie what really happened that it wasn't him who did that to her. Peter still couldn't figure out how he came to surface? Eddie had control over everything for a long time, and now he had the control. It's like when he woke up from that dream about Ruthie he was back.

Ruthie sat in Biology the last period of the day. They were learning about meiosis and mitosis. A scary thought came to Ruthie. The bell rang and she ran towards Martin at his locker.

"Martin I need to talk to you." She said in a sort of daze.

"Ruthie what is it?" he asked alarmed.

"What if I'm pregnant?" she said now freaking out.

"I'm not on birth control and he didn't use any protection when he raped me. I could be pregnant." Martin pulled her in a hug. Yet again Ruthie felt completely calm and safe as his arms wrapped around her.

"If anything does happen Ruthie I'll be here." He assured.

"Let's go." She said. Martin put a protective arm around her shoulder as they walked out to the car.

Sarah saw Ruthie and Martin in the hall. Something defiantly was off and she was going to find out what.

…………………………………………………………

"Ruthie, Martin. Sergeant Michaels called. He wants you guys to go down to the station." Beau said just before they entered the house.

"What for?" Ruthie asked grabbing a hold of Martin's hand.

"He found something about Peter." Beau replied.

On the way to the station Ruthie's dream came to her mind, about how Peter said he didn't do it. He said Eddie did. What if Peter was mental and was seeing people? What if he had a split personality, or even worse what if he was possessed? Ruthie rid the last thought. That would be way too scary. They finally reached the station and Martin and Ruthie quickly entered.

"Sergeant Michaels called us." Martin said to the women at the desk. Ms. Jones her nametag read.

"Yes, he told me to tell you to go in his office. It's around back and to the left." She said with a smile. Ruthie nodded a thank you to Ms. Jones and scurried of to his office.

"Good you guys are here." Sergeant Michaels greeted as they walked through the door.

"What did you find?" Ruthie said in a hurry. He walked to his file cabinet and pulled out a blue folder.

"Here." He handed it to Ruthie and Ruthie was relieved he was not possessed.

"So he really does have a split personality." She said looking up from the folder.

"What do you mean he really does have a split personality?Peter didn't findyou did he?" Sergeant Michaels asked with worry.

"No. Martin remember whenI had a bad dream last night." Martin nodded.

"It was about Peter we were in this garden and there stood Peter, but he was twelve. I asked him why he raped me and he said that he didn't Eddie did." She described. When she said Eddie Sergeant Michaels' head shot up.

"Ruthie, did you just say Eddie?" he asked in shock.

"Yea why?" she asked.

"Ruthie that's the name of Peter's other personality." He said a bit dumbfounded.

"How could she dream about Peter's other personality?" Martin asked.

"I have no idea." He replied taking a seat.

"I know this sounds strange and a bit bizarre, but what if Peter was trying to contact me?" she explained.

"You're right that is bizarre." Martin said

"No I am being serious. What if somehow we saw each other in our dreams, because Peter the real Peter was trapped inside himself?"

Alright what do you think? This iswhen itwill get very interesting.
