Dazed and Confused
Amanda's P.O.V.
Amanda had noticed Natalie's disappearance that day in New York, and it bothered her for the rest of the trip.
Natalie had come back in less than three hours, but she was all wet. Her explanation had been that she fell in Scott's pool, but there was definitely a cry for help behind her pale green eyes.
It seemed almost like her daughter was trapped behind a wall and an almost evil twin had appeared in her place. It looked like Natalie, but Amanda knew deep inside that something had happened to her daughter. That's why John came to her once more in her dreams.
Amanda tossed and turned the night they all came back from New York. Natalie was asleep in her bed, but Amanda thought she was being watched before she managed to shut her eyes.
A voice that seemed too familiar to Amanda called out to her in her restless dream.
John stated, "Amanda, ever since your betrayal I have been waiting for someone to continue my work. I can now tell you that my search is over. What happened with you was monstrous. You sacrificed the lives of valuable test subjects for your own pleasure. People like Lynn who had families and friends were murdered, and the lives of their loved ones were torn to shreds. I have found someone that can play by the rules and lead the world to understand my lessons. She is closer than you think. You will know who she is in time. Follow your heart."
Amanda woke with a start to notice everything as it was before her dream. Adam was sound asleep next to her, her alarm clock was ticking at a steady pace, and she could hear crickets chirping outside of her window. She was able to sleep easily for the rest of the night, but the morning brought unexpected horrors.
Amanda could hear the uneasy whimpering coming from Adam in the living room. She walked to down the stairs and came in to see something on the television screen that she hoped she would never have to see again. It was the image of an arm with a small jigsaw piece carved into it.
The newscaster on the television stated, "The body of thirty-four year old Sara Carter was discovered Friday when a team of construction workers noticed a flock of seagulls looming over her remains in New York City. The cause of death cannot be placed as either a homicide or an accident. She was found with a large pole impaled through her hand, but half of her body had been removed by what was identified as a shark. Bringing back unwanted memories seems to be the theme with this death as a jigsaw piece was discovered carved out of her arm. This as some of you know is the calling card of the infamous Jigsaw killer who until now has been lying low for thirteen years. We will update you on further information as soon as it is received. Thank you for tuning in to Seven News at eleven."
Adam stared wide-eyed at the screen until a tear ran down his face. Amanda's expression was equally stunning.
Adam squeaked, "B-but how could this have happened? Amanda he was dead! We saw him flat line thirteen years ago! Oh God I thought it was over after that Amanda, I thought it was over!"
Immediately after saying this Adam started having a panic attack. Amanda had seen that happen before, but this time she seemed to be frozen where she stood.
Natalie screamed to Amanda, "Mom! What do we do? Should I call an ambulance? MOM!!!
Amanda couldn't hear anything Natalie was saying. She just watched as Adam began to convulse on their couch. Memories of all that had happened flooded back to her. John, Adam, Lawrence, Eric Matthews, Paul, Mark, Zepp, Lynn, Jeff, Corbett, Danica, Timothy Young, the judge, Addison, Daniel, Xavier, Obi, the guy who got shot in the eye, and Jonas died all over again in Amanda's mind. Before she knew it she and Adam were riding on stretchers on the way to the hospital. Amanda knew she was still breathing, but she felt weightless like she had just died herself. The last thing Amanda heard before falling unconscious was the sound of Adam's heart monitor begin to emit a long beep that stood for the sound of his heart stopping.
A/N: I'm back, and shocked to realize that i have not recieved reviews for my last two posts. I feel unloved and therefore have left you with a cliff hanger. Be sure to review thanks. By the way I happened to get the title from my own random thinking. It was not meant to have anything to do with the movie which I do not own and have never seen.
