"Come on, come on, pick up damnit!" Tanya said through clenched teeth, holding the phone tightly in her nervous hands. She looked through the blinds at the burly man standing on their front steps.
Minutes ago Jon had come pounding their door yet again, which initially wasn't any different than the times before, but this time there was something wrong. Tanya had answered the door, yelling that she was going to call the cops, and Jon attempted to hit her. Luckily Tanya was fast enough that she was able to slam the door shut and lock it, her first thought being to call the cops like she had threatened. After hanging up she wasn't left feeling any safer though, as she'd been told that there was no telling when the police would be able to get there in the rain. So now she was trying to call Ami.
"Damnit!" Tanya cursed, slamming the phone down. She did not want Ami coming home right now, but that's exactly what was happening. She peeked through the blinds again, this time just as Ami's car was pulling into the drive.
Jon turned towards his ex girlfriend, and Tanya yanked the door open. "Ami! Get back in your car! Ami get the fuck out, GO!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.
Ami didn't seem to be processing the scene as she shut her door. The rain was pouring down so hard she could barely hear her own self think, so there was no way she could understand whatever Tanya was trying to tell her. That's when she saw Jon, two seconds before he reached out and put a big beefy hand around her throat.
Forgetting Jon's previous attempt at hurting her, Tanya ran out in the rain in an attempt to aid her friend. She could see Ami gasping for air, and though she wasn't completely sure, she thought Jon was actually lifting her off the ground by her throat.
Ami's vision was blurring, and she knew she was on the verge of passing out. Not even bothering to fight back, Ami had accepted her fate, and gave in to the darkness surrounding her. What happened next was more than any of them could explain. As Tanya was just about to reach her friend's side, a puff of smoke surrounded her and Ami disappeared, leaving the two of them completely dumfounded.
