17. Got My 6

Nyla's POV:

I take the keys from Amelia and I silently open the front door, I inch it open with my foot and I arm myself with my pistol. It's dark but the light from the top floor illuminated the top of the staircase. I turn around motioning for Amelia to go back outside but she shakes her head.

"I'm not leaving." She barely whispers and my eyes bounce around as I step close to her, "I'm telling you to leave Amelia." I look away again, "I'm telling you that I'm not leaving, I know this place inside and out so let me help you." She tells me, she's a stubborn one. "Fine you got my six?" I give in and she stares at me.

"That means my back, you know like a clock, when I look straight thats my twelve o'clock so my six o'clock or back is exposed." I explain to her and she nods, "Yeah yeah I do come on." She ushers me along but she holds lightly on my waistline and I shake my head lightly continuing to move up the stairs. I sneak up with Amelia behind me and she follows each step I make.

Amelia's POV:

"I'm going to check my sister's room, you check everywhere else." I remove my hands from Nyla's body and she immediately shakes her head no, her hand shoots out blocking me from moving forward. "Not happening." She whispers and I roll my eyes.

Granted I'm terrified as fuck, the house is quiet and my heart is beating through my ears I'm not sure I can even hear Nyla's breathing or heartbeat. She's practically silent but I don't know if this over the top, sometimes Aurora and I do truly forget to turn off the light but we both double checked before we left so this is spooky and freaky.

With everything with the case, could I be next? Is my name on a list somewhere of future victims. I swallow my thoughts down as I break away from Nyla, I hold my breath as I walk into her room her lamp on its brightest setting.

I slowly bend down to get a glimpse if there's anything or anyone under Aurora's bed. I silently pray that the underneath is empty and all of this was a mistake, I bend on my knees and slowly lean closer to the floor. I lift the blanket slowly feeling my heart beat faster and stronger, I think it might just burst from my chest. I take a slow deep breath lifting the blanket some more.

And staring right back at me is a pair of dark eyes, everything around be goes cold and I open my mouth to scream. "Amelia!" I hear my name, I quickly pull out my phone turning on my flashlight, my palms suddenly cold and clammy. "Amelia! Fuck are you okay? Amelia!!!" I turn around seeing Nyla huffing pointing her gun at the bed and I pull out the stupid doll that was staring at me.

"My bad, it was one of Mia's dolls. I'm sorry for screaming. I was just scared." I sit wrapping my around my knees, I look up at Nyla and she hasn't moved, "Are you sure you're okay? Tell me right now." She says and I nod again. Her breathing has become erratic and she's shaking. "I'm okay really, I swear. Are you okay?" I ask her then I stand up. She doesn't look okay. "Are you sure? You're not hurt at all? No bruises or cuts, no one laid a hand on you?" She asks again breathing faster.

I reach slowly for her gun taking it out of her hands and placing it on the bed. "Nyla?" I say her name but this time she doesn't answer. It doesn't even look like she's looking at me but through me. "Nyla breathe okay, come on sit down." I slowly bring her down with and I lean against the bed frame with my arms wrapped around her.

"You're okay, I got you. I'm safe I swear." I tell her again stroking her hair. I think she's having a panic attack of some kind. I quickly called my sister telling her to get here as fast as she can with Agent Hill. I didn't move or let her go till they got here, Agent Hill immediately rushed to her side and tried to break her out of the trance she seemed to be in.

"What happened?" He looks at me and I explained it all, even my screaming over a doll that I thought was real human eyes. He stares at me a little longer like he wanted to say something but he didn't. "Jesus stop tapping me." Nyla's voice filled the silence and we all turned to her.
