Chapter 2 – Amy's Past
The four girls had watched Hower walk off in total silence.
"Well, that was dramatic!" commented Amy cheerfully.
Raven glared at Amy.
Amy scrunched up her nose. "Gee, what's got everyone in such a huff?"
"You," muttered Rose.
Amy frowned. "I'll just let you guys be depressed. See you!"
"Why are you so happy all the time?" demanded Rose.
Amy walked off a little ways. She thought about Rose's question. If I'm not happy enough, I'll remember…
'Remember what?'
Amy stopped in her steps. Looking around she saw no one. "Where are you?"
'I'm all around you and inside you. I see your fears…'
Amy swallowed and tried to grab her bow and arrows, but she couldn't move.
'What is it that you don't want to remember?'
"Nothing," replied Amy nervously.
'Is it your past?'
"No." Amy had tried to say that, but her voice had temporarily left her.
'Well, if you aren't going to answer me, we'll just have to see.'
Amy's eyes widened in terror.
'Let's see your worst fear!'
Amy collapsed.
Amy, only last year when she was 15, was standing in front of a tall, slender woman. The two were in their house
'Mom, when can we go outside?'
'When the demons go away.'
Amy's expression hardened. 'Why doesn't someone do anything about them?'
The woman sighed. 'They're uncontrollable monsters. No one can handle them.'
'How can you know for sure if no one has ever tried to hurt them?' demanded Amy. She wasn't going to stay locked up forever.
'Shh…'
A small knock came at the door.
Amy's eyes darted over to the door at the other end of the room.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
The woman looked at Amy and fear was evident in her sea blue eyes.
Bam!
The door was thrown across the room. It hit Amy and pinned her to the wall.
An 8-foot tall demon sauntered into the room. He looked like a huge lump of coal.
'Well, look who we have here; a woman and her daughter. How cute,' sneered the demon.
"Go away!" cried Amy's mom.
Taking slow steps towards Amy's mom, the demon cornered her. "What did you just say to me?"
"Leave us alone!" cried Amy's mom.
"That's no way to speak to me," scolded the demon. He flicked his finger at the woman.
A piece of burning coal flew onto the lady. It landed on her arm, singing a hole right through it. Looking in horror at her arm, Amy's mom screamed in pain.
"No!" yelled Amy as the demon flicked another piece of coal onto her mother.
The demon kept flicking pieces of coal at Amy's mom.
After screaming herself hoarse at the demon to stop, Amy tried to get free. No use.
Falling to the floor at the demon's feet, Amy's mom screamed in excruciating pain. Her arms had fallen off and her body had holes through it.
Grabbing her hair, the demon yanked Mom to her feet. "Maybe you should've asked nicely for me to leave."
Her hair started on fire!
Amy struggled fruitlessly to get free, tears streaming freely down her dust-covered cheeks
The demon dropped Mom to the floor. Grinning, he turned to Amy. "She's dead."
"You b!" screamed Amy. "Why the h did you do that? I'm going to kill you! I'll kill you!"
The demon smiled. "If you ever get free."
"I'll kill you!" screamed Amy. She was out of control. Thrashing her arms and legs, Amy managed to get herself more stuck then ever.
"I, Burensho have killed another human!" screeched Burencho as he disappeared.
Amy woke up. She'd been crying.
'You remember…'
"No…" sobbed Amy.
'That is going to happen to your friends, and you'll have to watch!'
"No!" screamed Amy. She leapt to her feet and ran towards where she'd left her friends.
Ayana looked up as Amy stumbled blindly into the clearing they were in.
"No! No! No!" screamed Amy. She tripped over a tree root and fell to the ground. She lay there sobbing
