Chapter 6 ~Unknown Path~
(Katie gave me the title thanks gurl!)
*************************************************************************************
As Bright Abbott walked out of Momma Joe's Amy Abbott and Ephram Brown still sitting at their new table, not eating, Ephram was thinking. Thinking of something to get Bright to tell what he was up to. Amy had a slight tear in her eye but Ephram didn't say anything.
"Amy do you want me to walk you home?" Ephram asked her.
"No, I wanna stay with you." Amy said as she reached for Ephram's hand.
"Ok." Ephram said with a grin.
"Do you want to come over to my house?" Amy asked Ephram.
"Would that be a good idea?" Ephram questioned.
"Don't worry, Bright is going back to Monica's." Amy said.
"Who's Monica?" Ephram asked.
"You may not believe this, but its his girlfriend." Amy said as she chuckled.
"Haha that's pretty funny!" Ephram laughed.
"Yeah it is." Amy said.
"Come on, lets go!" Amy said.
***********************************************************************************
As Amy and Ephram walked to Amy's house Amy felt so lost. Amy wasn't sure if her and Ephram were an item yet. She gave up Colin, so she could be with Ephram. Ephram liked her, it was completely obvious. She didn't know what Bright was up to, but Ephram would find out she hoped.
"Amy, is somethin on your mind?" Ephram asked her.
"Yes there is Ephram." Amy said.
"I want to know if you love me." Amy said.
"Well of course I do Amy." Ephram said.
"No, I mean in more than friends way." Amy replied.
"I've always loved you Amy." Ephram said.
"Do you love me?" Ephram asked Amy.
"Of course I do Ephram. I gave up Colin for you, so of course I'm madly in love with you." Amy said.
***********************************************************************************
As both of them walked up the stairs Amy smelt something gross behind her in the bushes. She got Ephram's attention and they both turned around at the same time. They looked over at the bushes and saw there, the dead body of Wendell, both Amy and Ephram's classmate at school. Amy burst out in tears and Ephram stared in disbelief. Amy ran into the house, called 911, and told them that there was a dead body in her yard of one of their friends. Amy ran back outside and told Ephram to come in. But he was too in shock. No one besides his mom had died. At least someone he knew. He fell to his knees and put his head on Wendell's stomach and sobbed. Amy tried to get him up but she was too weak. Moments later the ambulance came and put Wendell in a stretcher and took him to the hospital.
Amy couldn't call her parents because her cell phone had broken, and she didn't know where they were. Bright was out somewhere, and Amy then looked down and saw something familiar. It was Bright's bracelet, but heck, it was their yard.
Amy picked up Ephram and brought him inside and laid him down on the couch. Then she went to the kitchen and got some cold water for Ephram. Moments later there was a knock at the door. It was the police. They wanted to know exactly what they saw. So Amy told them everything. How they just walked home and found him. After the police left, Amy turned around to go back to Ephram, she turned and Ephram was there, and Amy screamed.
"What are you trying to do, give me a heart attack??" Amy yelled
"No, sorry." Ephram said as he chuckled.
"What are we gonna do now?" Ephram said.
"Lock all the doors and windows. And keep things in handy we need. Like knives and stuff." Amy said.
"Whoa, aren't we getting a little overprotective here?" Ephram asked.
"I think you're right. I'm sorry Ephram." Amy said as a tear slipped down her cheek.
"Amy, its ok, they're gonna find out who or what killed Wendell. But its always good to be prepared." Ephram said.
"Ephram I love you so much." Amy said as she ran up to Ephram and kissed him deeply.
"Hey what was that for?" Ephram said as he held Amy by the waist.
"Because I'm so glad you're here." Amy said.
"I love you too Amy." Ephram said as he smiled and wiped away Amy's tear.
*********************************************************************************
Amy and Ephram sat down and watched T.V. because they didn't have anything else to do. Amy didn't know if that kiss meant they were together. Ephram loved her as he had said, and she said she loved him. That didn't necessarily mean they were boyfriend and girlfriend. Amy didn't think she was ready JUST yet. As soon as Ephram turned to kiss Amy, there was a knock on the door. Amy stood up to go answer the door but not before she looked in the peephole. Standing there was a Kayla, drenched in blood, and crying so hard so her eyes were bloodshot. Amy wondered why she came to her house.
Amy opened the door and Kayla ran inside shutting the door hard. Ephram ran over to them and then looked through the peephole and saw a shadow so Ephram immediately locked the door and shut the back light off.
"Kayla, what the hell happened to you?" Amy said.
"Someone tried to kill me!" Kayla screamed.
"Do you know who it was??" Ephram asked.
"Yes…I do." Kayla said.
"Well, who was it??" Amy said.
"It was….
CLIFFHANGER!!!
Merry Christmas everyone! And a happy new year!
