Thank you so much for all the awesome feedback on the chapter one! All of you are amazing and gave me motivation to finish the story.
To answer anon's question about this story being inspired by The Returned (Les Revenants); I did get the idea from the brilliant TV series. It's a shame that A&E cancelled the series, because it was such a great show.
Thank you to everyone that takes the time to read and review, enjoy chapter two!
It was a long way home, the car full of silence while Karma's heart was exceedingly beating in her ears. Her mind was brimming with questions that had a desire to slip through her lips as the air held a strong tension between the two. Amy's mouth bobbed, characterizing an intense longing to speak. She wanted answers as to why Karma was being strange, but felt like it wasn't the time to ask. Her eyes drifted to her best friend and noticed that the auburn's facial features had some age to them, Karma didn't look like a seventeen year old.
When the auburn stopped in front of a house that Amy hasn't never seen before, she knew it was time to talk.
"Who's house is this?"
Karma glanced at her timidly, "Uh, mine." She climbed out of the car, leaving the blonde to wonder.
Amy hustled out of the vehicle. "Wait Karma, a-am I missing something? Since when did you get a house?" Amy inquired as she followed her friend.
Karma didn't reply, and instead unlocked the door to her home. "I have to go make a phone call, take a seat and I will try to explain everything." Her voice completely neutral, her stunned eyes stayed locked on Amy as the blonde made her way through the house.
Panic hit Karma as she walked into her bedroom, her head became light as she started hyperventilating. Shaky hands gripped onto her phone while unstable legs shuffled to her bed.
'What the hell is happening?' Her mind repeated on an endless loop.
Inhaling excessively, she was able to calm her swift heart. She dialed Liam's number and waited for him to pick up.
"Hey, Karma, I'm on my way righ-"
"Actually, can you watch Charlotte tonight, um," Karma thought for an excuse and shakily said the first thing that came to mind, "I'm going to go see my parents."
"Ugh, yeah of course." He paused and Karma could hear the hesitation in that single breath. "Are you okay? You sound anxious, is everything okay?"
Karma sniffed and stood up, she peered out her doorway, looking straight at the blonde that was occupied by the pictures on the wall. "Yeah, I'm fine. Tell Charlotte that I love her and I will see her tomorrow." She whispered before she hung up.
She tried to keep her steps quiet as she walked up behind Amy. She wanted to wrap her arms around the tiny waist of her best friend, but didn't even know if it was actually Amy. If she was going crazy and just seeing things. The deranged thought went through her mind of this person not really being Amy, maybe it is someone who went to great heights to steal her identity by getting plastic surgery, but that's crazy.
Right?
Amy could feel the presence behind her, she could smell the distinct scent surround her. She turned around.
"What's going on, Karma?" She mumbled as she tried to keep her frightful tears from escaping.
Karma's throat ached as she gazed into Amy's eyes. She didn't know how to start, how to tell Amy that she is…or was dead, how to tell her that she was in a bus accident that claimed her life, six years ago. Karma began to feel overwhelmed with all the emotions she was experiencing.
Karma swallowed hard, "L-let's sit down." Amy nodded and followed her to the couch, Amy sat down next to the redhead, but Karma moved away a little, still not sure if Amy is really Amy. "Ugh, what do you remember?"
"What do you mean?" She furrowed her brows. "I was on the school bus, going to the botanical gardens. The field trip you bailed on, for Liam." She scoffed. "But then I woke up in the woods, it was the weirdest thing." She frowned and rubbed her hands together.
Karma noticed the tick, Amy would do that whenever she was nervous or puzzled. "Karma, why do you have this house, and who is the little girl in the pictures?" The blonde made no attempt to hide the terrified tone.
The auburn looked down to her lap where her hands were folded. "I don't know how to tell you this…" She took a deep breath. "Amy…you were dead. You died six years ago, today, on the field trip."
Amy stood up, the color draining from her face. "W-what, h-how…" She looked down to herself. "Are you joking with me?"
"No, why would I joke about this?" Karma said as she rose from the couch. "The little girl in the pictures is my daughter, Charlotte. Liam and I are married, well, we were married." Amy shook her head and felt like she was going to faint.
"How is this possible?" Amy spotted a calendar hanging on the refrigerator. She marched over and checked the year.
Karma rushed after her, "I don't know, I'm just as stunned as you are, perhaps even more." She stared at the back of the blonde's head and got worried as she watched her lay a hand on the fridge to keep her stable and released a strained whimper. "Amy?"
She slowly turned around, Karma has never seen her so afraid. "What am I?" She breathed out and tears brimmed her eyes. Karma lunged forward, and laid her hand on Amy's cheek.
A jolt ran through Karma while her pulse elevated rapidly. Karma drew in a sharp gasp as her fingers caressed the cold skin, she never thought she would be able to touch her best friend again. Amy's green eyes immediately calmed and the corners of her mouth tugged into a small smile.
"I've missed you." Karma hushed as her thumb ran across Amy's cheek bone, making the blonde lean into the affectionate fondle.
It was a lot to retain, but in that moment, Amy felt like everything was fine as she held Karma's eye contact. "I'm here now." Amy breathed with a smile and laid her hand on top of the auburn's. Hearing the words and feeling Amy's fingers lace between her's, her emotions shifted dramatically. She began to experience the love and warmth that she missed so much and currently needed.
"Ugh." Amy groaned and winced.
"What's wrong?!" Karma asked with a worried voice as her eyes dashed around Amy's body for the cause of the straining noise.
"I'm so hungry."
Karma sighed in relief and chuckled before she replied, "I'll make you something." She pulled away from Amy and made her way to the stove.
Amy's laugh caught the redhead's attention, she glanced over her shoulder with a raised eyebrow. "You can't cook, remember the spaghetti disaster?" She blurted and chuckled harder.
Karma placed her hand on her hip and spun around. "You'll never let me live that down." She groaned. "I am a very good cook now, I taught myself when Charlotte was born." The statement muzzled the cackling blonde. "Sorry."
With a shake of her head, Amy uttered, "No, there's nothing to be sorry about." She paused and rubbed her hands together. "H-how old is she?"
"Five." Karma knew that Amy was going to find out sooner or later, so she picked the former as she added. "She'll be six in nine months."
"So you conceived your daughter the same day I died." Amy stated bluntly. Karma could see rue in Amy's eyes after her mouth released the statement. Amy groaned and moved her hands to her head, "Ugh, I'm sorry, this is so weird. Karma, you have a daughter and I died, but here I am. This sounds like some twisted plot that you only see in movies or books." Amy looked at Karma with a defeated look, "I died." She whispered, her mind trying to grasp her own words, but struggled.
Karma bowed her head, "I should've been with you that day, and a huge part of me deeply regrets that," She looked up and reached out to take her friend's hands. "but the other part doesn't regret it because I was blessed with Charlotte." Tears dropped from Karma's eyes as she laced their fingers together. "She became the light in my life and kept me going when you…were gone."
Amy leaned in and pressed her lips to the auburn's forehead. Affection, acceptance, and forgiveness was all that Karma felt in the small gesture, she closed her eyes and reveled in the feeling. In that second, her heart was sewn perfectly back together; it held no pain, guilt, or remorse. Karma saw everything brighter as Amy pulled away and swiftly wiped the droplets from her face.
"Um, food. I'll make you something." Karma sniffed while she moved around Amy to get to the fridge.
"You weren't kidding, you were really hungry." Karma mused as she sat down next to Amy on the couch. Amy instantly wrapped her arms around her and pulled her into her chest.
"Did you forget about my big appetite?" She buried her face into Karma's hair.
"It didn't use to be that big." The auburn laughed and then realized something. "Are you smelling my hair?"
"Mhmm." She lifted her head. "It feels like I haven't seen, touched, or smelled you in a long time. It's strange though, I distinctly remember seeing you yesterday, but for you it was six years ago." The blonde's forehead creased.
Karma laid her head on Amy's chest and listened to the strong beating heart. "You're alive now, so maybe we shouldn't question the unexplainable power of whatever brought you back."
Amy nodded mutely and hugged Karma tighter. There was a knock at the front door that startled the pair. Karma suddenly realized who it was, she groaned and reluctantly parted herself from the blonde. With the turn of the handle, the redhead was met with the friendly face of Lana.
"Hey, Lana. I meant to text you that I'm going to bed soon." Karma quickly said through the cracked door, so Amy wouldn't be seen.
"Kar, I don't want you to shut me out, again. I got your favorite." The raven haired girl grinned as she held up a paper bag.
"I'm not shutting you out. I just haven't gotten much sleep the past couple days and I'm really tired."
"Okay." Lana nodded and lowered the bag of food. "Can I at least say 'hi' to Charlotte? I haven't seen that little bugger in a few days."
"She's with Liam."
"We were suppose to talk about that. Are you sure you're okay?"
"Perfectly okay, everything is great. Liam is a douche." Karma stated loud enough for Amy to hear.
"Good, can you at least call me tomorrow? I really want to hang out with you."
Karma nodded with a smile. "Definitely. Love you. Goodnight."
"Love you too." Lana ended and turned around.
Karma waited till Lana got to her car before she shut the door and secured it. When she swiveled around in the foyer, she was meant with Amy staring down at her, a breath away.
Amy cocked her eyebrow up, putting Karma in a trance. "Who was that?" Karma fixated on Amy's lips while a strange emotion bubbled in her stomach.
"That was just my friend." The redhead answered as she diverted her eyes away.
With an observant nod, Amy smirked. "Not best friend, right? Do I now have competition?"
"Never." Karma shook her head, she couldn't overcome the desire to touch the blonde, so she easily draped her arms over the taller girl's shoulders.
Amy beamed and in turn wrapped her arms around the auburn, they took some time to enjoy the content moment. Amy's smile dropped into a frown when a question suddenly entered her mind.
"Um, Karma… what about my mom, Lauren, and Bruce?"
Karma bit her lip and released Amy as she avoided the eye contact. "They moved."
"Where?"
"California, they left a year after." Karma explained as she grabbed Amy's hands.
Karma remembers how Lauren became close to her after the accident. The redhead knew that it was out of pity, but she liked having a shoulder to cry on and it surprised her that Lauren would sit still without any of her snarky words or hard expressions. Karma would return the support when Lauren would have a breakdown. Even though Amy and Lauren only shared witty banter between each other, that didn't stop the smaller blonde from crying about losing her step-sister.
She also recalls Amy's mother, Farrah, weeping in the bathroom on the day of the wake. Farrah tried so hard to keep her composure as people paid their respects and condolences. Her face crumbling little by little when her daughter's name was spoken. Karma observed as Farrah would place a shaky hand over her mouth and screwed her eyes shut, preventing the tears from falling. The auburn's focus remained on her as the older blonde bounded for the hallway and a concern Karma was on her heels.
Karma and Farrah have never gotten along since the first day Amy became friends with her. Farrah strictly believed that the seven-year-old auburn was a bad influence on her child. Farrah would urge Amy to find better friends, but after multiple failed attempts of separating the girls, she allowed her daughter to have a friendship with Karma. That didn't mean she liked her though.
Karma was able to get into the bathroom that Farrah locked herself in, she gave the comfort that the older blonde needed. In that moment, Farrah found a new respect for the teenager and appreciated that Karma cared for her even after Farrah tried to shut her out of the Raudenfeld family. She finally told Karma that she was grateful Amy had someone like her in her life. Saying that Amy needed her love since she knew that she didn't give her the right kind. Karma assured Farrah that Amy knew how much her mother loved her.
It took ten years and a tragic casualty for Farrah to accept Karma as a good person and saw how much Karma loves Amy. The newfound friendship between Karma and the two blondes didn't last as long as she wanted it to. When the family of three moved away, though Karma gave Lauren her number, she became estranged from both of them.
"I'm sorry, Amy."
She nodded slowly, "It's okay, at least I have you." Amy smiled weakly. She could see that Amy was hiding her real feelings as her eyes momentarily dropped to the wood floor, she could feel waves of sadness radiating off of her friend.
"You'll always have me." Karma whispered as she wrapped her arms back around Amy and pulled her into a hug. She released a yawn into her shoulder.
"Do you want to go to bed?" Amy asked as she ran her fingers through the redhead's hair during their embrace. Karma shook her head and tighten her grip before she dropped her hand to Amy's forearm and suddenly dragged her through the house. "Where are we going?"
Karma ignored the question as she lead the blonde to the back porch. The sun was descending into the horizon as the they sat down on a bench swing that was angled towards the sunset. The bird's singing their last song for the day and the stream that ran through the woody backyard were the only sounds that filled the air. Karma was relieved that she didn't have to force herself to listen to the noise.
"This feels like a dream." Karma murmured as she stared at Amy, the light was perfectly enhancing her features. "I'm afraid that I'm going to wake up and you won't be here anymore."
Amy smiled and pinched the redhead's arm. Karma yelped and rubbed the spot. "Not a dream." She laughed as Karma glared at her for a few seconds before a smirk broke out on her lips.
"You're such a dork." Amy's smile dropped to a serious expression, Karma instantly laced her fingers with her's and worriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Amy gazed out to the trees and exhaled roughly. "Karma, I feel like I have to be completely honest with you. I mean, we really don't know when is going to be our last day." She started and noticed how Karma's grip tightened a little. "Do you remember when we were fifteen and my mom was marrying Bruce?" Karma nodded idly. "The speech that Aunt June gave about falling in love with your best friend, well, it made me realize," Amy paused and turned her head to Karma. "that I'm in love…with you."
Karma's heart jumped at the words. "You're in love with me?" Amy's face twisted as she dropped the auburn's hand and got up.
"Oh god, why did I tell you? I just came back to life today and I'm already fucking up my second chance." Amy panicked as she paced and rubbed her hands together. She stopped and set her eyes on Karma, who was inaudibly processing Amy's confession. "Can we just forget about this?"
"I don't want to." Karma replied softly, her eyes shifting to the blonde's. "I don't want to because, I believe that I'm in love with you too."
"What?"
Karma knew exactly what to say, she didn't need to search her mind. She needed to tell the blonde what she has been feeling for years. "When I lost you, I found it hard to live…to breath, without you. Something was missing every single day and I often wondered why I was still living. Then I had Charlotte and I got that happiness back in my life, though it wasn't the same as the happiness you gave me. I love Charlotte till my last breath, but it just wasn't the same. My heart ached and craved for you, it was like I lost apart of my soul." Karma took a deep breath with tears rolling down her face. "I lost my soul mate, my best friend…my everything." Amy kneeled in front of Karma, never retracting her gaze as the auburn continued. "When I remembered all the times we spent together, I slowly began to realize that I adored and loved you like no one else and you returned it. I would sit up at night, staring at our pictures and see the passion in both of our eyes. I believe that I loved you from the moment we met, but it was hiding, like I was unconsciously scared that if I told you, I would lose you. That's ironic, because I lost you anyway." Karma sniffed. "When you showed up on the side of the road, with just one look at you, I felt like my heart being pieced together again, even though I was shocked and confused. My heart was telling me that it was really you." She smiled through the tears. "It was telling me that I got my love back."
Amy absorbed all the words as she cupped the auburn's cheek. "Man, you're confession was so much better." Amy chuckled as she wiped a tear with her thumb. "May…may I kiss you?" She asked politely. Karma glanced down at the blonde's lips and nodded.
Amy leaned up and connected their lips effortlessly, Karma's top lip fell between Amy's and she hummed contently. With erratic heart beats, they both leaned into each other, savoring the taste and tenderness that was sending them into paradise. Karma has never felt the sensation before, it was like the relaxing feeling of digging her toes in the warm sand with a mix of the adrenaline jolt that comes along with plunging into cold water.
The tightening in Karma's stomach advanced as Amy wrapped her arms around the smaller girl's waist and pulled their bodies flush. Straggled breaths were push through Karma's nose as she strived to keep her lips locked with Amy's for as long as possible. She could feel the blonde grin against her before she pulled her head back, breaking the blissful contact.
"Don't pout." Amy whispered huskily, her fingers flexing into Karma's waist. The auburn's eyes fluttered open in a daze, but a shy smile lifted her lips and was accompanied by a blush.
"Karma?" The distant voice brought Karma out of the daze. She looked to the opened backdoor and back to Amy as her eyes widened in panic.
"Is that Liam?" Amy questioned as she stepped away from the redhead.
"Shit, you need to hide. I don't know how he will take this." Karma spoke quickly in a hushed tone as she push the blonde to the railing of the porch.
Amy scoffed with irritation and planted her feet. "Why should it matter how he takes it? You said you two were over."
"It's not that. You've been dead for six years, Amy. Yet, you are standing here. Now, is not the time to be stubborn." Karma pleaded as she used all her strength to budge her from her spot. "Climb over and hide."
"No."
"Karma, I left Char at my apartment with Shane, I wanted to talk-" Liam stepped onto the porch and stalled every movement as his eyes landed on Amy. Karma could see the confusion and shock in his eyes and knew this is going to be hard to explain to him. She doesn't even understand the whole situation to be able to explain it.
"Hey, Liam. What are you doing here?" Karma said with a mask of coolness in her voice, so he didn't hear how much she was actually freaking out inside.
His focus went straight to her. "I…what…um…" He struggled as he laid a hand on the doorframe for support. "What is going on?"
"I was dead and now I'm not." Amy stepped forward. "Ta-dah, I'm basically a zombie, but I have no craving for flesh, so you're safe." Amy joked bitterly, earning a nudge in her ribs from Karma's elbow.
"B-but, how?" He shook his head, Karma knew exactly what his mind was going through.
"Maybe you should sit down." The auburn moved towards him as she pointed to the swing bench. He shook his head again to the offer. "Okay. We don't really know how she is here."
"But, Amy is dead." Liam answered shakily. "She was dead?"
"'She' is still right here." Amy announced waving her arms around.
Karma rolled her eyes at the blonde's comment, "Liam, we just need to accept that Amy is back. I know it is hard to wrap your head around, but somehow she got a second chance. The universe works in mysterious ways."
He took a step forward, with his face turning stern. "How do you even know that this is Amy?" He rushed to Karma's side while glaring at the blonde. "You know about identity theft, Amy died six years ago, Karma. This can't be her."
"It is Amy, though."
"How can you be so sure?"
"I just know, I can feel it in my heart that it's her."
"Still here." Amy stepped in, getting annoyed.
"Karma, you're unstable." Liam whispered as he moved in front of the blonde to block Karma from her. "This could be a stranger."
"But, I'm not." Amy stated angrily from behind Liam.
Karma knew how to get Liam to believe. "Okay, let's settle this." Karma breathed as she placed her hand on Liam's bicep and pushed him out of the way. Karma searched her mind, looking for the right question that only Amy would know. She pursed her lips and stare at the blonde. "When did we become friends?"
Amy smiled, "August fourteenth, in first grade. There were some boys picking on me, and you stood up for me. You scared the shit out of Jimmy Anderson so bad that he peed himself." Karma and Amy laughed as the memory flashed through both of their minds.
The auburn glanced to Liam with a pleased grin. "This is Amy."
"I still don't believe it."
"I don't care if you do or don't believe it. I know that this is my Amy."
Karma and Amy locked eyes, the redhead wearing a smirk and the blonde grinning, delightfully.
Liam shook his head and stood up straighter. "I'm not leaving you alone with her, Karma. I'm taking you back to my apartment."
Karma's expression hardened immediately, anger pulsed through her veins. "You are not taking me anywhere." She roared. "We're not together anymore."
"Technically, we are still married. This is not safe, Karma."
"Sorry, Liam, but you have no jurisdiction over my life anymore. The only reason that we are talking right now is because we share a child together. So you're leaving, now." Karma growled as she got in the man's face. His jaw locked as he glared at his wife.
He huffed as his eyes shifted from Amy and back to Karma multiple times. He stomped his foot like a child that wasn't getting their way. He turned on his heels and marched to the back door.
Suddenly she remembered something. "You can't tell anyone, not even Shane." Karma blurted out before Liam walked back into the house, hoping that he will at least respect that request.
"Why can't Shane know? He's my friend too." Amy whined as she crossed her arms over her chest.
She knew Amy thought this was all unfair, but Karma knew how people would react if they found out. Some may be like Karma, confused but understanding. The rest would most likely be like Liam, ignorant and skeptical. Maybe Shane would be the same as Karma, but she didn't want to take the risk. At least not right now.
"Amy, you have to understand that, this…" Karma gestured to the breathing blonde. "is not normal. People don't rise from the dead, only in the movies and fantasies does that happen. Look at how Liam just reacted to all of this, Shane could be the same way." Karma dropped into the swing and dropped her head in her hands. The emotional trek of the day was draining her body of the necessary energy to stay awake. Her muscles were becoming heavy, along with her eyes as she pushed the palms of her hands into them.
Amy once again kneeled in front of the slumped auburn. Her nibble fingers wrapping around the girls wrist, and was happy when Karma allowed her to remove her hands from her face. "I'm sorry." Amy whispered as she kept a steady gaze on Karma's exhausted expression. "Let's get you to bed." She added as she placed her forehead against the auburn's.
Laying at peace, Karma's body relaxed into the bed as Amy's arms encircled her. She released a yawn, her lethargic mind fighting with her to stay awake. Her fingers clenched the blonde's shirt as she drew in a long breath that was full of Amy's scent.
She didn't want to drift off, the thought of Amy disappearing while she slept revolved in her mind and that scared her. But, as Amy raked her fingers through Karma's hair, she couldn't resist the the pull of sleep any longer.
Karma rushed into a seated position while clenching the sheets in her fists. She frantically glanced around the room with cold sweat running down her forehead and onto her cheeks.
"Amy." She cried out in a cracked voice that echoed through the room. She glanced at the clock, she was surprise to see that it was nine in the morning.
She climbed out of bed and raced into the hall. "Amy!" She yelled as the fear in her increased. Her throat tightened painfully as she thought of the worse thing. None of it was real. Amy is still dead. It was all a dream.
"Karm, what's wrong?" She heard Amy ask urgently as the blonde appeared down the hall from the kitchen. Karma insistently ran into her friend's arms, finding the comfort that calmed her raging heart. With her thoughts still getting the better of her, she released tears into Amy's shirt. "Baby, you know I don't like seeing you cry." Amy whispered into Karma's hair, she pressed her lips against the redhead's scalp.
"Why weren't you there?" Karma croaked as her face was still buried into Amy's strong chest. The blonde could feel Karma's fingers dig painfully into her back, but she didn't mind.
Amy leaned back so she could see her friend's tear-stained face. "I'm sorry, I didn't want to wake you up and I was hungry."
Karma smiled as she heard the sweetness in Amy's voice, she couldn't help but chuckle at the explanation. "Of course, you were hungry." Amy's lips turned upward as she cupped her lover's cheeks, running her fingers over the dried tears.
"After going through your cabinets, I found some pancake mix. Do you want some?" Amy questioned, happy that she could feel Karma's emotion change from sadness to joy. Karma nodded and the blonde grabbed her hand as they walked to the kitchen together.
"Did you sleep well?" Karma inquired as she sat at the island while Amy made her a plate of food.
Amy hesitated but answered honestly, "I didn't sleep."
"Why, was it the bed? You should've woke me up to tell me."
"No, it wasn't the bed," Amy turned around and placed the plate in front of Karma. "I just wasn't tired." She shrugged her shoulders before she leaned over and rested her elbows on the counter for support.
Karma frowned as she picked at her food with a fork. She opened her mouth to question the wondering thought of why her friend wasn't tired at all last night.
"Don't worry about it." Amy intervened as she could see Karma's worry lines on her forehead became visible. "Maybe because I was dead for six years, I've gotten a lifetime full of sleep." Amy joked as she eyed Karma plate, it was odd when she felt her stomach growl. Karma stared at the blonde and peacefulness flooded her emotions. Amy looked up, "What, do I have something on my face?" She asked as she felt around her features.
Karma released a chuckle and shook her head, her eyes never leaving her best friend. "I just can't believe this is real." She whispered as she reached across the granite countertop and laced her fingers with Amy's.
Amy grinned and gave the redhead's hand an assuring squeeze. "I'm not going anywhere." She full-heartedly promised, with a lift of Karma's hand she kissed the smooth skin as if to seal the vow.
Karma's cheek flushed with the feeling of Amy's lips on her, she thought back to the intimate kiss that shared on the porch and had a sudden urge to experience it again. She removed herself from the chair, dropping Amy's hand in the process, making the other girl wonder if she did something wrong. Her concerned eyes followed Karma as she walked around the counter and drew closer to her with a look of desire and love.
Karma instantly wrapped her hands around Amy's neck and pulled her down to her lips. A rush of warmth surrounded both girls as Karma's nails dug into Amy's flesh and the blonde's hands wrapped around the tiny waist of the auburn. It was a brief kiss, but filled with so much emotion that their heartbeats fell into sync and they pulled away from each other with smiles gracing their lips.
"I feel like I will never get use to that." Amy murmured as she repositioned one her hands onto Karma's cheek.
Karma hummed in agreement and settled her forehead against Amy's chest. Her heart was producing a giddy reaction that spread throughout her body.
Amy glanced down at the golden chain that was hanging around Karma's neck and disappeared into her shirt. The blonde raised her hand again and lightly ran her fingers over the auburn's exposed skin before lifting the chain slightly. The gold heart was revealed as it fell out of Karma's blouse.
Amy's forehead creased into confusion, "Is this the best friend's necklace that I won for your sixteenth birthday?"
Karma pulled back, "Yeah," She looked down to the cheap jewelry and mirrored Amy's expression. The two hearts that were once spilt down the middle were now one full heart. Karma and Amy looked up to each other, both in bewilderment.
"I think we need to find out what is happening." Amy stated and Karma nodded in agreement.
