Chapter 3

"Hey Amy..." I started

"Yeah?"

"Do you mind if I sleep round tonight?" I asked, I knew the answer

"Of course you can" she said smiling

"Thanks" I said smiling pressing her into my side further

"Hey" she said getting up

"What?"

"I was going to go to town today, you mind coming?"

"Of course not" I said happily "Neama, stay here while me and Amy go out for a while, ok?" she looked up and nodded at me, then she continued playing with Dusk, I had to admit that they did look cute.

"Come on then" she said outstretching her hand, I placed my hand in hers and walked with her to her front door. She turned and locked it, then continued to walk on with me.

"Hmm?" I said puzzled

"What's wrong?" Amy asked quietly

"N, nothing" I said weirded out, I had the strangest feeling we were being followed, I swear I could see someone, yet every time I turned round there was nothing.

"You can tell me" Amy insisted standing and facing me

"No, it's nothing, just a weird feeling... Like we're being watched or something" she just laughed and wrapped her arm around mine

"You're too paranoid, you're always thinking that someone's out trying to get you" she laughed again

"Now you know that's not true" I said giving her a funny look

"Even so, you have mentioned it before" she said trying to think back to the days, the days that she were looking for were when I asked to stay at her house, just after I found out I had killed the kid.

"Oh well" I said hiding the fear that she will ask more about it, oh how I fear that day. It took me so long to accumulate this relationship and I'm not about to let it all be ruined by something that happened two years ago.

We carried on walking through the quiet town, it seemed quieter than usual, we only met a couple of people around, all the shops were closed and mist began to settle in. My feeling of paranoia was growing, I found myself turning my head every few seconds to watch behind us. Amy just chuckled at my panicking and rested her head on my shoulder.

"Will you quit it already?" she said, slightly irritated that I was twitching so much

"I can't help it" I said still wary

"Look could you just stop until we get back to my house, then you can be as paranoid as you like" I smiled slightly and said

"Fine" I carried on walking, the mist thickened and we could only see a few feet in front of us. My heart was beating as we carried on, I could hear it, it beat faster and faster, I could imagine this hand reaching out towards us, I could almost feel it, the hairs on the back of my neck raised as a cold breeze blew past. My eyes darted around, left, right, left, right until I felt I couldn't hold it in much longer...

"We're here!" Amy shouted happily

"Wha... Oh..." I calmed down and looked at the mist surrounding us, the warmth of the house kept the mist around three meters away from the house, but that didn't comfort me. She unlocked the door as I continued to watch the stirring mist, I squinted my eyes, trying to male out a dark figure, and I swear that there was some just standing there. Suddenly I was grabbed and pulled through the door, I was so surprised that I grabbed onto the arm of the figure and pulled the down with me.

"Alastair" she said laughing at my surprise. I kicked the door shut, still lying on the floor

"You're really on edge aren't you...?" she asked slightly concerned "I suppose it's good your staying at my house, if you're like this with me, than what would you be like alone, you would probably barricade the doors and windows!" she said laughing, I laughed with her trying to relax myself

"Ok, I know, I'm acting a bit stupid, but from now, I'm going to act normally ok?" she smiled at me, getting from off my body

"Good" raising her eyebrows at me as she walked into the kitchen. I sighed and got up and sat on her sofa

"Eee?" Neama said concerned

"It's nothing Neama, don't worry" I said smiling down at her. A few minutes later Amy came out with two cups of Cola,

"Ah, thanks" I said reaching out to get the Cola

"You're well come" she said happily handing it to me. She sat next to me and lent into me while sipping her drink. I smiled and began drinking the Cola

"Is there anything on?" I asked, obviously referring to what's on TV.

"Don't know, don't think so... I was just wondering..."

"Wondering what?"

"If I could just have your company tonight, rather than the TV's as well"

"Oh yeah, sorry, of course!" I just remembered that almost every time I went to Amy's that I asked to put the TV on.

"Thanks" she said before leaning into me and putting her drink onto the coffee table. She then moved onto her back and laid her back on my lap. She smiled up at me as I drunk the remainders of my drink. I looked down at her and kissed her on the forehead. I then got up completely ignoring her and went off

"Ow!" she said landing on the floor in a heap, she looked at me slightly irritated but my smirk turned her frown into a smile

"Just going to go to bed, it's getting late" I looked out the windows noticing the fog lifting exposing the street lamps giving off their soothing light. I carried on into Amy's bedroom and got undressed and then got into her bed. I waited a few minutes and she soon followed joining me in her bed, she smiled as she got under the covers, snuggling up to my warm body wrapping her arms around my chest pressing her head into me. I just reacted by putting my arm round her and soothed her telling her how much I loved her, why I was so protective, how I couldn't live without her, she reacted by looking up at me with an endearing expression and then slowly drifted off to sleep.

The next morning I woke up with a start looking round for that same Eevee which attacks me in my dreams. I shook it off and got out of the bed looking down at Amy, who was still fast asleep. I kissed her on the cheek and whispered

"I'm just going to have a shower" I saw her stir which meant she was going to wake up soon. I took one of her towels and went into her bathroom. I opened her window slightly, to let the steam out as the shower got to its highest temperature. I loved water, I had always loved water, ever since I was a kid. Suddenly I heard a small muffled voice outside

"Yep... Definite... We have to... Now" The voice sounded male and very close, but I shrugged it off. Suddenly I heard a quiet knock at the door, I heard footsteps coming out from Amy's room, obviously Amy, she opened the door and suddenly let out a scream

"AAAAAAAAAH" I jumped out the shower wrapping the towel round my waist loosely and burst out the bathroom, I watched as two men grabbed Amy and restrained her while walking back out the door

Hey! Let me go!" she shouted "Alastair!AlastairHelp me!" she shouted noticing I was watching her being carried off. The two men looked back at me, shocked they rushed to their car and threw her into the boot and quickly jumped into the front and drove off.

Suddenly I felt my anger beginning to return, I quickly got the clothes on, grabbed my Pokébelt and jumped into my car

"Amy... I'm coming!"
