Little Lady

Chapter 3

~I blinked just to make sure I wasnt imagining what I saw,but like I saw before, Ed had killed Dan. The first thing I could register was to hug Ed,which I did. And I didnt ever want to let him go. Ed saved my life. He changed my life. Forever.~

*Ed's POV- 1 minute before stabbing*

I was happy to know Amanda, I felt like I could protect her from anything,but there was always something that didn't seem right with her. Like how sometimes she would have cuts and bruises up her neck and across her face. And would always lie right to my face,then excuse herself to go put on more makeup on top of the makeup she had on. She never talked about her uncle anymore though.

I met her at school on the first day of kindergarten and she was the only one in our class that i wanted to be friends with. She had her dark brown hair in pigtails that showed off her beautiful green eyes. I fell in love with her over the years and if anyone would mess with her I would always save her from the sadness. But sometime in secondary school she started to change. She wore way more makeup than needed,and smelt like a French whore house. But I still stayed close to her and always asked how she was,with her usual response of "fine".

It wasn't until halfway through the first year of high school that she began to get hickies on her neck even though she was always single. It worried me that she wouldn't tell me the truth about them and why they were there. But hopefully that now its her birthday she might trust me more. I bought her a bouquet of pink and yellow flowers and a gemstone bracelet made with her birthstone,Jade. I hoped that she would like it,and not think it was too much. If only she would tell me more about her uncle and why she is always busy at night,then maybe I could tell her how I really feel about her.

Oh well, if she doesn't want to talk then I can't make her. I pulled into her driveway and got right to her front door which was open. Weird. It was a bit odd until I saw her uncle Dan standing over her with a knife in his hands getting in the position to stab her. I was in complete shock but it registered in my mind that I had to save her so I immediately dropped her flowers and the present on the lawn and grabbed out my switchblade that I only carried around for emergencies. This counted as an emergency no matter who denies it. The girl I love could die at any second,but I will NEVER let that happen so I rushed up to her uncle and stabbed him in his left rib cage with all the strength I had.

Did I just do that? Did i just kill someone that I barely know? He fell to the floor with blood gushing out of his back,staining his white shirt, and just then Amanda opened her eyes a little and looked shocked of what she saw and hesitated to breathe. She had to blink a few times before she believed in what she saw in front of her. I didnt know if she was great full for what I just did, or if she would never speak to me again. Until she got up and hugged me. She didn't stop,and neither did I. It felt amazing having her so close to me. Like when you have your favorite teddy bear and you never want to let go of it. I don't care what anyone says,because she is my perfect teddy bear.

"I-I-I'm sorry." I hoped that this birthday gift wasn't over the top.

"Don't be." she said pulling away from the hug but still,with her trembling arms she managed to still grip my arm for dear life. "Thank you. Really,thank you Ed. You saved my life,and I couldn't have asked for a better birthday gift." As she said the last few words she leaned in and closed her eyes. I did the same and followed as our lips lightly touched sending sparks throughout my whole body. Her lips were slightly chapped but still soft and plump. She was the first to pull away and look me in the eyes.

"We should call the doctor." she suggested,confusing the hell out of me.

"I'm sorry,which doctor do you think could take care of this?" I asked sarcastically pointing towards the lifeless body in front of us.
