And now you shall find out what happened!!

...Intruder...
Her scream was muffled by a hand roughly placed over her mouth. It didn't take Lyddie long to figure out who it was.

"What did you do?" Eric demanded in an angry whisper.

Lyddie responded by a kick to the knee. Eric loosed his grip enough for Lyddie to run into the kitchen where Stephen was. "He's back!" Lyddie kept yelling.

Stephen abruptly turned around as Lyddie ran into him, "What? Who?" Stephen looked over Lyddie to see an angry Eric running towards them with a murderous look in his eyes. "Move!" Stephen yelled.

They quickly opened the back door, but it wasn't enough time. Stephen had gotten ahead of her and got out of the house sooner. Lyddie halted as an arm shoved the door closed and grabbed on to her from behind. She was shoved up against the door, an arm pressing into her neck.

"What did you do?" Eric said more slowly this time.

Lyddie gasped for another breath and managed to say, "It was my turn to have some fun."

By this time Stephen had noticed that Lyddie wasn't outside. "Oh no," he said running to the door he had come out of. It was locked so he sprinted to the front. That door was unlocked and Stephen rushed in. He found them at the back door. Lyddie was pressed against it by Eric and it looked as if he was going to kill her this time.

"Lyddie!" Stephen yelled.

But Lyddie couldn't hear him. She was using what little breath she had left to see. Lyddie could see dark spots in front of her eyes. "This is the end," she kept thinking.

Eric turned to see Stephen rushing in. Stephen hit Eric hard with his shoulder, knocking both of them to the floor. Lyddie put a hand to her throat and took a reviving deep breath.

"You'll be dead! Mark my words!" Eric yelled as he got up and ran out the door to his car.

Lyddie was breathing as normally as she could after pervious events. Stephen picked up the phone and dialed the police.

Lyddie walked over and stood next to him as he talked on the phone. Her neck hurt badly. The wound wasn't healed completely and the pressure had been horrendous. It stung furiously and she decided to go to the bathroom to inspect it.

She left the room silently and headed down the hall to the bathroom. She stood in front of the mirror and began to unwrap the bandage on her neck. She shut her eyes at the vision before her. Her neck was bleeding again and it was turning black and blue. She didn't want to deal with it. She felt like taking a nap. A nice long nap.

She awoke to hear Stephen knocking on her door. Drowsily, she sat up and rubbed her eyes.

"Yeah, you slept pretty long. You might want to get ready for school," Stephen said as he poked his head in the room.

School? Had she slept that long? "Thanks I will," Lydia said as she got up to take a quick shower.

The cold water had a satisfying chill to it once it hit her body. She felt numb to her surroundings. Then a thought hit her. What happened last night after she fell asleep? She decided to find out. Lyddie turned the water off and wrapped a towel around her. Opening the door, Stephen was standing in the hallway.

"So...did the police come last night?" Lyddie asked.

Stephen looked at her for a moment before responding, "Um...yeah they did..." he was starring at her and he had good reason to. She was, after all, in nothing but a towel.

"Stop gawking, seriously, what happened?" Lyddie didn't seem to care.

"Well...they want to question you," Stephen answered. "I wasn't much help."

"About Eric right?" Stephen nodded. "Great just what I need. Oh and by the way I won't be at school today. I'm going to see my dad." Lyddie slipped past him and headed for her room.

"You can't," Stephen walked after her, "Eric's looking for you. He wants you dead and I don't think that walking into town by yourself if a super idea."

"So come with me if your so scared for my safety, because I'm not," Lyddie wasn't concerned.

"How about I take you down to the police station AFTER school. Then you can answer a few questions and then see your dad," Stephen argued.

"You're school obsessive and I don't want to wait for you. I'm going now," she replied and shut the door. There was no arguing with her. She knew what she had to do. She was going to bust Mort out of jail.
