The Apocalypse: Life After Death

Chapter 10: Back Door Sneak Attack

Angel's POV

I scramble to figure out what to do as I pace around Spencer and Ashley's bedroom. How could I have been so dumb? Of course Kyla wouldn't just disappear.

"Angel you've got to calm down." Spencer tells me as I punch a wall.

"I should have known something wasn't right. Kyla wouldn't just disappear like that." I shake my head. I can feel the tears of anger; at myself, the situation, and at this point even God because how could he let something happen to Kyla.

"It's Ashley." Spencer holds ups the phone and waves it a little for emphasis. I hold my breath as she answers. I'm hoping that this is Ashley telling us that she found Ky and that everything is okay; that I'm just overreacting and after I am able to hug her again I think I'm going to kill her. I watch as Spencer's face changes. This isn't good news, no… this was the news that I was dreading I could feel it. The vibes that Spencer was giving me wasn't a happy one.

I disappear into my head as I see but can't hear the words coming out of Spencer mouth. This is all my fault! I shouldn't have yelled at her and told her to leave me alone. I should have just talked to her and we could have figured it out. Yes, she did the most horrible thing she could have ever done to me but I can't imagine my life without Ky and…

"Ashley wants us to stay here while she follows up on a lead." Spencer pulls me from my thoughts.

"What no!" I snap out of it. There's no way in hell that I'm going to just sit around while Kyla is out there… possibly hurt or worse. No way!

"She says that it's really important we stay here." Spencer says softly and I feel like she knows more than what she's telling me right now.

"Spencer do you know something, does Ashley know where Kyla is?" I ask, walking over to Spencer. She stares at me with wide eyes as I bend down in front of her. I place both my hands on either side of her as she sits almost completely still on the bed. She definitely knows something. "Spence please; this is my Kyla we're talking about here. I love her and she's everything to me, if you know something you have to tell me. I would tell you if it were Ashley." When she doesn't say anything I drop my head. I need her to understand that I have to know what's going on. Telling me to stay here while Kyla is out there all alone just isn't going to happen. "Fine then, I'll just go look for her myself." I push off the bed and stand up.

"Ashley thinks that Eric has her." Spencer shouts out to my retreating figure. I made it all the way to the doorway when he words echo in my ear. Eric? That doesn't make sense.

"But Eric is in love with her." I turn around in the door and say. I lean again the post and try to wrap my brain around Spencer's words. Why would Ashley think that Eric had her?

"She only said that it was something he said that made her question him and then when she went to find him, he had already hurried out of the building and only guilty people run." I take a couple deep breaths to try and slow my breathing. I can practically hear my heart beating throughout my body as the rapid pulses shoot through my veins and muscles. Every part of me right now wants to kill Eric. Whether he has her or not, I've never liked him and what he did to try to jeapordize Ky and I just made me hate him all the more.

I can feel the rage building up inside me and I guess Spencer could see it too because she jumps up from the bed and hightails it over to me, grabbing my face and telling me to breathe. But I can't listen to her right now. I have to find Kyla. I have to know she's okay.

"I need to find her." I state simply, because there is no other choice in the matter. Ashely may be her sister but I'm her girlfriend and it's my job to protect her.
