Chapter 13 - Fear and Target
Claire's POV
When I came in I saw Alyssa fiddling with her thumbs which is a sign of her being nervous but there was another sign, it was when, things went out of control. When she gets nervous and I mean by a lot, things tend to shake and break.
Cups and lids were broken, glass cupboards were broken and when a chandelier was above me shaking I quickly yelled to Alyssa, "Alyssa, I'm sure if we had a problem we can talk it out." I said weakly,
She whirled around and saw a chandelier about to fall, she quickly put a shield and me and it shattered, "Sorry about that!" She squeaked out nervous,
I smiled and walked towards her, I took her hands and put them against my cheek, I widened my eyes, "Alyssa, your freezing cold!" I exclaimed,
She smiled sadly and I looked at her for the first time since I came in here, she had dark circles under her eyes and she had pale skin with lines around her, "Alyssa! You need sleep and blankets!" I cried out.
She shook her head slowly, "It's fine." She said quietly,
I growled and put her on the couch, "Stay." I commanded and went to the kitchen trying to skip over the broken glass; I made her a cup of herbal tea and walked back with a box of biscuits. "Eat." I ordered again.
She curtly nodded and began sipping her tea; I went to my room and wrapped her around with a blanket. "I-I w-was s-so s-scared." She trembled with fear, "I-I h-had a-a v-vision o-of y-you g-getting k-killed."
I saw her shaking with fear and worry and I cuddled her, "its fine." I patted her and hugged, "I'm not going anywhere." I whispered to her,
She nodded and calmed down a bit and now only hiccupped now and then, I looked out the window and went into my room, I rummaged through my bag that Alyssa kindly picked up and I smiled when I found a folder. I walked back to the room and looked through it.
"I figured out who's after us." I stated as I figured through the folder,
Alyssa hiccupped and said, "W-Who?"
I smiled sadly and said, "The Kelly's..." I trailed off and widened my eyes,
"The Kelly's...why does that name seem familiar?" Amy thought out loud,
I nodded and when I glanced at Alyssa I noticed her standing still and was getting paler by the second, I grimaced, "It doesn't matter, and well what are your reports on this?" I asked between them, Alyssa slowly got out her bag and tossed a sheet of paper at me still shaking, I frowned at her behaviour and I read through it.
"Ashley Wilson, blonde girl who is said to be missing or dead." I scanned through the file. "The file stated that the investigation was shut down and it was closed and no-one talked about it again, interesting info..." I scanned through, "But why would the Kelly's be in connection with her?" I asked and she just shrugged.
Amy stepped in and said, "Well anyway, I went to the scene of the crime and I saw something being dropped, a phone."
I frowned, "Did the police find it?"
She shook her head, "No, I took it before anyone knew,"
I sighed, "Thank god. Can I see the phone?" I asked,
She took it out and chucked it at me; I caught it and looked through the messages and calls, "Same numbers and messages, Alyssa-." I stopped and shook my head, too much for her, "I mean Amy, can you trace the message and calls to where and when they were sent?"
She smirked, "No need,"
"Why?" I asked confused,
She smiled and said, "Well when I was there investigating, the cops said that the Kelly's were in jail."
I frowned a bit but then lit up, "I get you," I smiled and snapped my fingers, "Alyssa, could you ask the cops as to why they were in jail?"
"No need," Amy said again, "I did it myself, but it's there wasn't much info because the files and records were took but the one who was mostly involved was none other than your friend Sky." She said amused,
I smiled, "Sky you said, this'll be easy."
"No it won't." She shook her head, "I researched a bit more and Xav was there as well."
I sighed, "So I'll have to have a conversation with Xav again."
"Maybe we should just ask them for help?" Alyssa suggested,
I looked at her shocked, "And what? Get them killed?"
Alyssa looked down and said, "Guess not, but still, we can't do it all by ourselves."
"I know, but I don't want anyone getting hurt because of decision, I mean this is our plan right?" I asked them and they nodded, "So what happens when one of them gets hurt because of our mistake?"
Alyssa opened her mouth but closed it, it repeated for another three times until she agreed with me. "I guess so." She grumbled,
"I have to go and talk with Sky," I stood up and walked away, "Do you mind if you heal this Amy?"
She shook her head and started healing, she asked, "But do you know how to find her?"
I smirked, "I have an idea, but I'm not going to like it." I ended up frowning,
"Will it get you hurt?" Alyssa spoke up,
My eye twitched, "I don't think I'll get hurt..."
Amy sighed, "Alright then,"
"Well I'm too tired to do anything, I'm going to hit the hay and do it tomorrow" I yawned, "Can you do more research on Ashley okay?" I asked them and went to bed.
What do you think?
