Hearts and Daggers

Chapter Twenty-Three

DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Halloween series in anyway =(. But I DO own Katarzyna, Emmy and my other OCs.

 

AN: These chapters were dedication chapters to two more of my Fanfiction friends “Kagz419” and “WildSpiritCat”

I know I haven't been adding on here which chapters were birthday dedications on fanfiction and I started to feel bad, so now I am keeping the notes in for everyone to see :) 

 

Chapter Twenty-Three

 

Kat’s POV

The days following Halloween, I noticed a change in Emmy. She seemed happier, almost back to her old self, chattering constantly. She would lock herself away in her room and have what sounded like one-sided conversations for hours until it was time for dinner or bed. Even Laurie happily noticed the change when Emmy would come by after school and tell her everything that had happened that day in full detail.

I could only assume it was because of her friendship with Cara. Since the day they met, the girls were inseparable, Emmy walking Cara home afterschool before continuing to Laurie’s house. At one point Emmy had confided in me that the other kids were teasing Cara because they were friends and Emmy would walk her home to make sure none of the bullies messed with her. The story had filled me with a bittersweet feeling as it reminded me of when Michael and I had first become friends. He always acted as the protector, making sure none of the others hurt me for being friends with him.

But whatever the reason was, I was glad that Emmy was coming out of the dark mood she had put herself in after Michael’s death. She was beginning to act like a kid again, which not only please Laurie and I, but Loomis as well.

It wasn’t until the third week of November that everything changed.

The day had started out normal enough with me waking Emmy up and getting her ready for school before Cara and her dad came by to pick her up. Afterwards, I planned to take advantage of my day off from work and classes by relaxing before Emmy got home.

Things didn’t work out that way.

It was around lunch time that I got an email from one of my professors informing us that he was moving up the date of our paper from next week to this Thursday, leaving me rushing to the library and actually start the paper. Barely a half hour had passed before I heard someone calling my name. I looked up and smiled as I saw Cara’s father, Dallas, walking up to me.

“What brings you here, Kat?” he asked, taking a seat beside me. Not once did I ever think I would be someone who could befriend other parents, even with Emmy’s old friends back in California, I never associated with their mothers, not really wanting to talk about kids, gossip or Emmy’s “mysterious father”. But, because of Emmy’s growing friendship with Cara, I found myself becoming closer friends with Cara’s fathers, Dallas and Oliver.

“My Psychology professor moved up the due date of one of our papers. Trying to get most of it done,” I replied. Dallas could have passed for my brother with the same dark brown hair and his green eyes the same color as my one eye.
