Ch. 14 Brewster
ANNIE POV:
I didn't know why, but I felt like I needed to see Charley. He is the only one that has an idea what happened to Ed. I needed to know. Annie drove her car to his house. I noticed something strange. There were crosses in the window. I looked at Amy. Apparently we had the same thought. Something was very wrong. I had never been to Charley's house. If I got a ride from Amy, he was already in the car. Amy opened the door and just walked in.
"How did you get in," Charley said. I was taken aback. He looked like he hadn't slept in days, and didn't he wore those clothes yesterday?
"The door was open," Annie said obviously. I hadn't looked away from Charley. There was something wrong I just knew it.
"MOM I TOLD YOU NOT TO OPEN THE DOOR," Charley yelled. I noticed Charley's mom on the stairs. I looked around the house. It was just as I thought. The window was filled with crosses and garlic. I notice something in his hand. A STAKE. I realized that I wasn't paying attention to Amy and Charley's conversation.
"I only came here because Annie needed to talk to you," Amy said. Charley looked at me.
"What did you need Annie?" Charley asked. I didn't know what to say or where to began. Luckily Amy realized my dilemma and spoke up.
"She wanted to ask you about Ed Lee," Annie said. She looked at me reassuring. She gave me a look that said just do it.
"What about him," He said. There was guilt in his voice. I found my voice.
"Do you know what happened to him? I saw him take to you the other day," I said. He looked confused.
"I saw him before he went missing, but why would care?" Charley asked confused.
"Up until two days ago I was his girlfriend," I said. Charley raised his eyebrows. He looked at me in disbelief.
"Really," He said in disbelief. I suddenly felt really irritated.
"That's right Squid man," I said. Charley looked as if he finally believed me
"I want to know everything that happened when you talked to him,"
CHARLEY'SPOV:
"I want to know what happened when you talked to him." Annie asked. Whatever I expected it wasn't this. I always thought that she didn't like me.
"We got into a fight at Adam's house and I haven't seen him since. That's all I know Annie," I told her. Annie looked at me.
"I know Charley. I believe you," Annie said. My mouth hanged opened. I had been trying to get people to believe me and it took her only minutes.
"It got him didn't it?" Annie asked. I looked at her guiltily. I felt like it was my fault Ed's gone. He tried to warn me and I turned my back on him. He begged me to believe him and what did I do. Turn my back on him.
"I'm afraid so," I said. She looked down at her feet and took a deep breath. I looked away from her out of curtsey in case she started crying. When I felt like I gave her a decent amount of time, I asked her a question.
"How long have you been dating Ed?" I asked her gently. I didn't know the reason for their breakup, but I was curious. I thought he hated Annie, apparently not.
"Two years," She said. I couldn't believe it. I never would have guessed. They were dating when Ed and I were friends. He must be a better actor than he led on. I vaguely wondered how he managed to pull it off.
"Is there any way he could be alive?" Annie asked.
"I don't know," I said truthfully.
"What are you guys talking about?" Amy asked confused. I almost forgot she was there.
Then we heard the knock.
Annie's POV
A man's voice called for Charley's mother. He was saying something about Charley breaking into his house. I looked at Charley confused. I noticed how pale he seemed. Suddenly I realized, this must be him, the vampire. Ed's killer, I said to myself.
"Go get the authorities!" Mrs. Brewster said after a few pleading looks from Charley.
The Vampire didn't leave though, just changed location. We looked on in fright as he went to their back yard and started digging up groan. Suddenly there was a strong smell in the house, gas. Within moments the stove blew and the room was in gulf in flames.
"Don't need and invitation if there's no house" The vampire said icily.
We ran out of the house and into Mrs. Brewster van. Everyone was panicking. Charley was arguing with his mom. We tried to call for help, but no service. I frowned at the picture on my phone. I knew it wasn't the right time to think about it, but I just couldn't help felt like I lead him to this. He wasn't really asking that much. Because of me, that monster got him.
"Charley is this him?" Charley's mom said. I turned around in my seat to see that a huge truck was behind us. Shit. Suddenly there was a loud crash, and the sound of an engine.
"Is that your bike?" I gasped ducking. Charley nodded having climbed to the seat to us. Suddenly there was pain in my stomach, and I screamed in pain.
"Annie, what's wrong?" Amy asked. Before I could reply , I was violently pushed in the seat, and it took me a minute to realize something crashed into us.
"Wait stay in your car" Charley begged the man, but too late. The vampire attacked him. Charley got out of the car holding a cross. We got out of the car as well. I wished I was home at this time. The pain in my stomach was getting too much.
"He's going to kill him" Amy whispered to Mrs. Brewster. I looked. I looked to see if there was anything sharp to help Charley. Mrs. Brewster found it before me. She had impaled the vampire with a " For Sales" sign. Mrs. Brewster fainted after seeing what she did.
"Mrs. Brewster" Amy gasped running to her. There was blood coming out of her head. We got into his car, and drove off.
Charley talked to Police as Charley answered questions. We all got checked out to insure we had no injuries from the crash. I wanted to see the doctor for a different reason.
"How far along are you?" The doctor asked.
"About two months" I said looking up at the monitor. The doctor poinedt at the monitor.
"That's the heart beat" The doctor said smiling. I looked at it amazed. That was my baby. A small smile appeared on my face. It was the only thing at the moment that brought me any happiness, it was also the last thing of his I had.
"I-Is it ok?" I asked afraid of the answer.
"It appears so. Though I'm a bit worried, I think stress is affecting the health of the baby" I looked down.
"It's been rough the past couple of days" I whispered
"It gets better kid" The doctor said kindly "Try to reduce your stress, and have your doctor monitor the baby's health" I nodded and the doctor walked out. Sighing, I gently put my hand on my stomach.
"Going to be a pain in the ass like your dad" I whispered smiling slightly. I had to admit see the heartbeat made it real. I walked out looking for Charley and Amy. They were sitting outside a room. I guessed they had to admit Mrs. Brewster.
"Everything ok?" Amy asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little bruised" I lied. Charley frowned. Shit, Ed once told me that Charley could spot a lie really well. He looked at me and I gave him a pleading look not to press the subject. He opened his mouth but closes it. Charley's phone went off and he walked off. It wasn't long before he came back.
"Let's go" Charley said.
"We're we going?" Amy asked him following him out.
"We're going to see Peter Vincent" Charley said.
"Peter Vincent?" I asked him clarifying that's what he said. He nodded.
"We're meeting the real Peter Vincent?" Amy said in disbelief.
"It's underwhelming believe me"
Next Chapter: Amy and Annie meet Peter Vincent. Annie learns something very interesting about her past, and a terrible fact about the present is revealed
