Happy Thanksgiving, all! I'm back with a brand new chapter and a brand new twist!
Date: November 24, 2005
Previously on Chapter Eleven:
Amy looked in his eyes and saw the sincerity he portrayed. She loved him too. Hell, he saved her life and became the best thing that ever happened to her.
"I'll marry you, Hunter. I wanna make you my husband," Amy said with a weak smile.
Here's Chapter twelve.
Three weeks later...
Amy was glad to be back at home.
She was laying comfortably in her own bed and it felt good. The last month and a half spending in the hospital was exhausting. Her back was sore and her legs felt like rubber. All she could think about was sleeping in her own bed.
Just then, Alicia walked inside, carrying a tray full of goodies. Amy sat up and smiled at her little. She was so grateful for Alicia to take care of her like this.
"What you got there, little one?" Amy asked.
"Mommy, Hunter and I knew the hospital food was not good for you so we made dinner. We figured you're gonna need all the energy in the world in order for you to get back in shape," Alicia explained as she sat the tray on her lap.
Amy smiled. "Well, I appreciate what you and Hunter did for me. I'm gonna try my hardest to come back 100."
Alicia leaned over and kissed her cheek. "I'm glad to hear that, Mommy."

Drew shifted around in his car, sighing impatiently. He was parked around the corner from Amy's house and it was excruciating. He knew Alicia was in the house, being all happy and carefree.
Not anymore, he thought. The truth is, this cat and mouse game was taking a toll on him mentally, physically and emotionally. Alicia needs to be at home, where she belongs.
Suddenly, he couldn't take it anymore. Drew got out of his car and headed towards Amy's house, his hands tucked in his pockets. He was gonna get his daughter back even if it's the last thing he have to do.
Maybe he'll even die trying.

"I haven't heard from you since the party, Ames. How are you feeling, honey?" Trish asked when she was on the phone.
"I've been better. I'm just glad to be back at home so I could lay in my own bed, that's all." Amy laughed.
Trish giggled. "I hear you, girlfriend. When I had to go in for my back problems, laying in a hospital bed was tiring."
"Well, I'm glad you're doing better, Stratus. The women's champion needs to kick some major ass again!" Amy declared with a smile.
"True, true. When are you coming back to the ring?"
"Within a matter of weeks. Angela told me to take it easy and lay low for a while. After what happened at the birthday party, I'm happy that she made her point."
"I'm glad you're listening to her. She's been a good friend to you."
"I don't know what to do without her. Angela and I had become so close over the last couple of months. She knows what it's like because she's a mother herself," Amy explained.
"That's good to hear. Listen, I've gotta go. Vince's calling us for a meeting. Tell Alicia I said hello," Trish announced.
"Will do. I love you, Stratus."
"I love you, too, Dumas. Call you later."
Amy hung up the phone and leaned back on the soft cushion of her bed. Talking to Trish felt good for her health. She knew she could always go to the blond Canadian for anything.
But, something's wrong. I don't know what it is, but it feels like I can't get rid of Drew for anything, Amy thought.
Little did she know, what she was thinking would turn into a horrible reality.

"Daddy, I'm done washing the dishes. Is there anything else you want me to do?" Alicia asked as she wiped her hands with a paper towel.
"No, baby. You had done all that could do for today. Why don't you go upstairs and lay down for a while? I'll finish up down here," Hunter suggested.
"Okay," she replied before she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
Yawing, Alicia ran upstairs to her bedroom and flopped down her bed. Closing her eyes, she dreamed about Amy and Hunter being married and having a one big happy family.
Alicia smiled in her sleep.
Until Drew barged out of her closet.
Alicia tried to scream but he slapped her across the face and covered his mouth with his hand. Tears fell from her eyes when he pinned her down on the bed and sat on top of her.
"You make one sound, so help me God, you're gonna wish you were never born, you little bitch!" Drew hissed.
Alicia settled down and just looked at him.
"Good girl. Now, go and get dressed. You're coming home with me," he demanded.
Before she could even climb out of bed, he pinned her down on the bed and ripped her clothes off. Alicia was scared out of her mind because the memories of what happened four years ago came crawling back.
"Don't make a sound, Alicia. Just let me have it," Drew said before he slid inside of her roughly.
She cried silently. How could this happen again? Just when she was finally able to move on with her life, her father had to come back and ruin it for her!
When it was over, Drew yanked her off the bed and dressed her. Then he pushed her out the door and dragged her downstairs.
"Say good-bye to everyone around you, Alicia. You'll never see them again," Drew hissed again.
Alicia started crying harder.
Uh-oh! What I have done? Stay tuned in the next chapter because an attempted rescuing ends in tragedy!
