(I
just got addicted to the evanescence cd, so I will be using there
lyrics at the beginning, I don't own them, but I wish I looked like
Amy Lee. That would kick ass.)
Chapter 6:
Unforgettable
"Hunting you I can smell you - Alive, your
heart pounding in my head."
Haunted - Evanescence
Ami woke the next
morning, here dreams haunted her. The face she had seen in her
vision, the day before and then, when she actually found her at the
mall.
"Puu, I need your help, what's going on?"
Ami
rolled out of her bead, she looked worse than the day before. She
went to her closet and pulled out a pair of low rise blue jeans and a
black tank top, slid them on, and went to grab her brush. Not paying
attention to the mirror.
Walking as she was a zombie, she went
to the Kitchen. When she entered she saw Amelia, sitting at the
table, sipping her coffee.
"How are you this morning Ami?" Amelia asked, full well knowing the answer.
"Uhhuh, coffee." was her only reply.
Not paying much attention, Amelia stood to grab her a cup. '
Poor dear, this is to much for her. Why someone so young has to go threw this, is beyond me.' Amelia thought.
When she went back to the table. She finally looked Ami over.
"Ami, when did you get your colored." Ami looked up with a look of utter confusion.
"I didn't" She replied.
"Come with me." Ami removed her body from the chair, which was harder than she thought.
Amelia
pulled her to the hallway and placed her in front of the mirror that
hung in the entrance.
Ami looked up to see what Amelia was
talking about. When she glanced in to the mirror, her jaw went slack
and she put her hand on Amelia to stabilize herself. Her hair now was
caressed as if by an angel by silvery blue streaks.
Amelia helped Ami back to the kitchen where, thay just sat in shock.
"Maybe its stress." Amelia said.
Ami
thought about this, that was the only logical explanation.
They
sat there for ten more minutes before anyone else entered. Since all
the guys stayed there last night, making sure she was going to be ok.
They walked in together, and stopped in there tracks. Before they
even got the question off Amelia just put her hand in a stopping
position.
"Don't ask, we don't know." Zeb, went to the table after grabbing his coffee and sat down, next to Ami.
"Are
you doing alright?" He asked.
She just moved her head up
and down, not answering with words. The shock still registered on her
face. The guys just sat there waiting for Jonathon to enter, so they
would know what they were doing today. He said that there were some
things that needed to get done, and would explain today.
Another
½ hour passed, and there was not a word said.
"Yes,
this is Mr. Preevy, I need those documents sent to the house." he
waited for the answer on the other end of the line.
A soft voice uttered a small "yes".
"I want you to bring them, then you can have the rest of the day off."
On the other end of the line, A woman smiled. She loved her boss. He was always doing things like this.
She had only worked for him for a few weeks. But at least once a week she was getting a paid day off.
"Yes sir, it will be about an hour before I can get them together and to you." .
"Thank
you." Mr. Preevy said as he hung up the phone.
Getting out
of his chair, he realized how bad he needed caffeine, he had been up
most the night worried about Ami. What worried him, was the girl she
had found was killed the same way as her mother. This left a really
bad feeling in the pit of his stomach.
He walked into the
kitchen first noticing his grandson and friends, sitting there with
vacant looks, then Amelia, just starring into her coffee. The last
person was hidden by the taller people and when he walked around to
her, he gasped.
"What happened" he said holding up some of her hair.
"The
best we can guess, it is stress." Amelia replied.
Jonathan
just stood there and looked to Ami.
"I'm going to go for a walk." Ami said as she slowly got up from the table.
"Ami, please stay at least on the grounds." Ami gave Jonathan an odd look.
"It would just make an old man happy." He said, Ami pulled her lips into the only smile she could muster.
"O.K.
I will."
Ami walked in to the back yard, there were flowers
everywhere. In the back by a small lake there was a place where a
weeping willow had grown to its full glory. Ami made her way to that
tree, it epitomized the way she felt at the moment.
'Why am
I seeing these things, why aren't my friends trying to contact me.
Where in the hell Puu when you need her.'
These thoughts ran through her mind.
Leaning closer to the surface of the lake. She swore she could hear giggling, when she looked around, she saw no one, then turned back to the water. When she looked at her reflection, she saw her own face waver and that of a young child appear.
"Hello Mistress." It said then winked,
"Welcome
home" with that the face disappeared.
Thinking she was
loosing her mind, she started back toward the house, when she heard a
car pull up.
A
tall women stepped out of her hunter green convertible, Long legs
extended to keep her balance in these blasted heels. Her long hair
flowed past her hind end, and if you looked at it in the sun, it
appeared to be a green color. Her garnet eyes flashed. This place had
a familiarity about it. It felt as it she knew some one who was
living within these walls. Well, she was extremely old, so maybe it
was from the past.
Walking up the steps, she placed the
package at her side, preparing her self to ring the
bell.
Walking
around to the front of the house, Ami stopped as she saw a flash of
long hair that looked
green.
The
boys had heard the bell, and all ran for it. They always had races to
the door. Jonathan only hired the most beautiful people. He just
attracted them. So with that thought, for young men, ran to open the
giant doors at the front of the house. When they opened the door, the
sight about knocked them on there hind ends.
Green hair,
garnet eye's, and legs that went all the way to Japan. She just
smiled at the four young men.
"I have the papers for Mr. Preevy." She said.
As she handed them to Kieran.
"Please
give these to your Grandfather." She said as she nodded and started
to walk away.
Ami ventured around the side of the house when
she heard Mr. Preevy.
"Ms. Mou (sp)," he said.
"Yes." was her only reply.
"Thank you for doing this for me.." He said in his most sincere tone
"It was my pleasure, it the girl all right." The secretary asked.
"As
much as can be expected. I just didn't think she would be up to
going to an office with a lot of people to day." Mr. Preevy
said.
Ami finally got a look at the women he was talking to.
Bounding with renewed strength she almost toppled the woman.
"Setsuna" Ami said as the tears started to Flow.
Setsuna stood there shocked.
"A.. Ami" She said.
Letting the small girl rap her arms around her.
"What
are you doing here. Where's your mother, you know she will be
worried."
Ami face got a confused look to it.
"Yo.. You don't know." Setsuna just looked at her puzzled.
True she was the guardian of time, but they were giving her some much needed time off.
"She was murdered last week." Setsuna face fell, the happy reunion was no longer happy.
"Oh..
Selene, Ames I am so sorry."
By this time Ami had fully
broken down, the tears she refused to let fall, where finally coming
out. All the guys including Amelia and Jonathan watched the scene
from a few feet back. Looking on in utter confusion.
Setsuna
looked down at the girl holding on to her waist. Slipping to the
ground so she could hold her like a mother would when cuddling there
child after a hard day. That's when she noticed the hair, the
stature '
No, not now, not yet.' She thought.
Everything was starting to make since. Her being given a vacation. A place to stay that was away from the girls. They knew she wouldn't have let this happen. She let the tears fall for on of the most precious people in her life.
After Hotura, Ami was one of her best friends. She loved the girl like a daughter. Her intelligence, her loving ability, everything that came from Ami, once she had come out of that shell.
Setsuna
was amazed at the girl she had become. But, now it seemed that she
would revert. She had no idea what that would cause for Crystal
Tokyo. Things had changed, and she wasn't able to get to the
gates.
I know this
is short, the next one will be longer.
