We're getting closer and closer to the end. And, I promised someone close to Amy will get attacked. That will come into play with another shocking surprise

Enjoy!

Author's note: It's gonna be pretty graphic in this chapter so beware. Also, I'm pulling another surprise twist in this one.

The next day...

"I don't care for you, George. I love you," Maria moaned. Fresh tears were falling from her eyes.

"I love you, too, darling," he said.

For the first time in over a year, she found true love...

Wrapped up in a long white sheet, a naked Maria slept soundly. A smile crept up on her face as she recalled what happened the night before. Who knew revealing her shameful past would lead to mind blowing lovemaking?

The door opened, which caused her to sit up. Assuming it was George, she unwrapped herself from the covers, awaiting for some more furious lovemaking. But, when the person stepped inside, she covered herself back up and looked at him with shock.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Maria asked, panicking.

Adam smiled while he leered over her naked body. "My, my, my. Aren't we getting some?"

"It's none of your business," she snapped.

He leaned down and began pulling the cover away from her body. When he yanked the fabric away, he grinned.

"You did get some last night, huh? Who's the lucky man?" Adam asked. He could feel the bulge in his pants.

"I don't have to tell you," she snapped again.

He grabbed her by her arms and yanked her up towards him. She looked in his eyes and saw a man ready to kill.

"Okay. Maybe you can tell me where Amy is," he said. He was staring at her breasts.

"I'm not telling you where she is. She hates you and so do I," Maria said, anger boiling in her veins.

"Wrong answer," he said before he slapped her, which caused her to fall back down on the bed.

"Bastard," she mumbled.

"What did you say?" he snapped.

"I SAID BASTARD!" she yelled.

"Big mistake," he said before he pinned her down on the mattress.

"Get off me!" Maria screamed.

"Not until you tell me where Amy is, Maria," Adam suggested.

"I don't where she is. She don't tell anyone where she goes. You of all people should know how private she is!" she exclaimed.

He slapped her again, causing the blood to gush out of her mouth. She struggled to get away from him but he held her down tightly and straddled her.

"Let me go!" she cried.

"I'm sorry but I just can't do that. You see, since I can't get to Amy, at least not yet, you're the next best thing. Since you won't tell me where she is, I'll just have to take the information away from you," he said before he started tugging his pants down.

"I don't think my husband would appreciate you being here," Maria revealed.

He stopped in his tracks and looked at her in disbelief. "Husband?" he asked.

"That's right. George and I got married this morning," she said with a smile. Then she showed him her gold wedding band to prove her point.

To her relief, he released her and zipped his pants back up. She reached down and got her clothes from the floor and began putting them on.

"You married that fag? The so-called pop icon? How did it happen? You don't even know him!" Adam exclaimed.

"I do know that I love him and he loves me," she said with a smile.

But, her smile faded away when he picked up a bottle of cleaning solution from the table.

"Would he still love you if I hurled this at your ugly ass?" Adam asked. His face was an expression of emptiness.

Maria grew worried. "Don't do this, Adam. You used to be a good person. What happened?"

"Amy left me. That's what happened," he said with bitterness lurching in his throat.

She moved to get off the bed but he grabbed her ankle and yanked her towards him. With no emotion on his face, he hurled the solution right in her face.

Maria screamed out in pain as he left. That's one mission he accomplished today. Now, he's gotta take care of Amy's other friend.

X

Amy couldn't believe her ex was in her friend's room. Sitting in one of those hard chairs, she laid her head against Hunter's chest as she, her husband, George, Trish and Andrew waited for Maria's condition.

When he came back into his hotel room and found his wife screaming out in pain, his heart was broken in two. Adam had scarred her so badly just when things were going great for him. Well, he's gonna stay by her side, no matter what.

"I can't believe Adam would do this to her. Maria didn't do anything to him," Amy cried.

George looked at her with bloodshot eyes. "I'm gonna kill him!"

"You ain't the only one, man. We all wanna kill him. He's gonna wish he was dead when we get our hands on him sooner or later." Hunter fumed.

"What I wanna know is how did he avoid death?" Andrew asked, looking confuse.

Amy sighed deeply. "He was never dead. He wanted us to believe he was dead. Turns out, he got some help. Now, he's after me. He's taking out the people I love."

Just then, the doctor came by them, holding a pad in his hand and he had a sorrow look on his face. The group stood up and looked at him nervously.

"How's she doing?" George asked immediately.

"Maria's a very lucky woman. She only suffered first degree burns over 10 percent of her face. She'll be able to heal in no time," the doctor said.

Amy sighed in relief as she went into Hunter's arms.

"But, I do have some bad news about another patient. Any of you know Michelle McCool?" he asked.

"Yes. She's a good friend of ours," Amy said, looking confused.

"Well, she was brought here. She was stabbed over 100 times with a butcher's knife. She lost a whole lot of blood. I'm sad to say that she died earlier," the doctor said, his voice cracking.

"NO!" Amy screamed as she slid down on the floor. Hunter and George got her up and sat her down on a chair. She was crying hysterically as Trish wrapped her arms around her body and tried to comfort her as much as she can.

"I'll leave you alone for a while," the doctor said before he turned and walked away.

Hunter leaned down and wiped the tears away from Amy's brown eyes. He took her in his arms and held her tightly as she cried on his shirt, which got soaked.

"Why Michelle had to die? She didn't do anything to him. Hell, she barely knew him at all!" she cried.

"I'm sorry, baby. I'm so sorry," Hunter said. He was very caring and soothing.

Just then, a nurse came their way, holding a piece of paper in her hand. Amy stopped crying and allowed her husband to pick her up.

"Are you Amy Helmsley?" she asked.

Amy just nodded her head. She was in no mood to speak.

"Someone wanted me to make sure you read this," she said as she handed Amy the letter.

She walked away a moment later. When the others gathered around her, Amy opened the letter and read the note.

My beautiful Ames,

I had to take care of Michelle. She was asking too many questions. She won't bother us anymore.

It won't be long before we're together again.

I love you always.

Adam.

P.S. Maria got lucky. I'm coming after Hunter next.

Amy dropped the letter and looked down on the floor in shock. She knew Adam killed Michelle but he's gotta come after her husband now? She don't if the drama will ever end.

"Baby, what's wrong? What did the letter say?" Hunter asked when he saw the worried look on her face.

She looked at her husband with tears falling from her eyes. She loved him so much. She doesn't wanna lose him.

"Adam's coming after you," she choked.

Chapter eight is the moment you all will dread! I hope you don't hate me for it because Amy will finally come face to face with her psycho ex-boyfriend!

I just wanna go on record to say that what happens to Amy in this story will continue in the next in Vengeance.

Please review!
