The Strange Love

The Truth

Amanda an Zack's eye's fluttered open when they saw a bright flash. When they realized that Rose was taking a photo of them, they looked at each other, an noticed they were cuddled up.
"Aren't you two just cute?" Rose laughed as she took another photo of the two.
"You're a dead woman!" Amanda went to get up an run after Rose, but she was pulled right back down by Zack. She gave him a confused look.
"It ain't worth it, just stay an enjoy this while we can." Zack muffled out, he was exhausted an half asleep again. Amanda blushed lightly. A few minutes later, he fully woke up, an realized what the situation was.
"Oh.. My... Uh.. I'm s-sorry." Zack stuttered out blushing very lightly. He released his grip on her.
"It's cool." She mutters out, standing up an stretching. She walked out of the shed towards the house. "ROSE!" she yelled loudly. Rose poked her head around the opened door into the house. "How's Rain?" Rose started to stare elsewhere as if she was hiding something. "Well?"
"W-well... He hasn't..Woke up yet.." Amanda ran past Rose an saw Rain on the couch, asleep. "He's breathing, but, won't wake up." Zack followed in.
"Did you hit the poor boy again?" Zack smirked looking at Rose. She shot him a death glare. He stepped closer to Amanda, for her to help him.
"He probably needs his rest. Who could sleep in the woods every night, for 7 hours peacefully? He needs us right now. More than normal." Amanda stares at Rain.
"She's right.." Zack walks over to Rain an squats down to his level an watches him.
After a few hours of wondering around the house talking, Rain started to wake.
"Rain?" Amanda spoke with concern.
"Where..am I?" he looked around. He sat up, but grabbed his head. "Ow. My head is killing me. Feels like I've been hit with a damn brick" He looks over to Amanda who has a concerned face, Rose who is smirking an Zack who has a pokerface.
"I wouldn't say brick." Rose lightly laughed, still having a smirk til Amanda hit her shoulder, she wiped her smirk off. Amanda steps near Rain.
"Amanda. What happened? Why was Rosalina smirking like that?" Rain muffled so only Amanda could hear.
"What do you last remember?" Zack asked very calmly.
"I remember coming to the shed, to talk with you two... An then I blacked out." Rain looked at Zack. Then to Amanda.
"Rain, you were hit with a shovel by the wonderful Rose." Amanda gave Rose a deathglare. "But, you're alright now. We all looked after you. We thought you were going to harm us." Amanda added.
"Well...Originally..That..was my intention.." Silence grew long in the house when those words left Rain's mouth.
Minutes passed, as they felt like hours.
"Do what?" Zack said as he approached Rain, with a kitchen knife in hand. Rain sighed deeply.
"Well, my dears, I was hired. By Kim, to lead Amanda away an kill her. My parents had nothing to do with the death of yours. Mine, were just killed the same night, but by the same person. I remember it as if it was yesterday. Amanda. Think. Do you remember this house, any at all? The closet over there?" Rain pointed to a closet to the left of them all.
When Amanda's eyes set on the closet, she went completely white.
~Flash Back~
"Mommie! No! Don't leave me here!" Amanda's voice could be heard lowly as she was shoved inside the closet by her mother.
"shh, honey, don't speak. Don't come out, no matter what. Okay? Don't come out of here, even if mommie an daddie say so, okay? Hide. Don't even speak." Mia said very lowly as she kissed Amanda on the forehead. "I love you honey"
"I love you too mommie" Amanda's voice could barely be heard behind her crying.
Mia shut the door an there was a crack, which Amanda saw outside the door.
"You stupid woman. I've never saw someone as stupid as you. Not even attempting to hide? Pathetic. Almost as Pathetic as your husband. But he has a sweet taste in his blood. Wonder what yours will be like." A tall man in all black, with a very deep voice spoke, walking towards Mia with a kitchen knife, that was covered in a red substance which appeared to be blood. The man was now infront of Mia. He grabbed her by her throat an slowly, very slowly killed Mia. He licked her neck, where he had cut her, tasting her blood.
"Very sweet indeed." He threw her body down.
~End of Flash Back~
"Oh.. My..God.." Amanda found herself deep in tears. Zack ran up an held Amanda from behind, as she started to fall to the ground. She could barely speak.
"Kim an Riley, there 'business trip' is a vacation, while I am supposed to be rewarded when they return, for killing you. They don't want their hands dirty. Riley doesn't want to see you hurt, that's why he probably warned you to stay away, correct? Kim, she just... She hates everyone but Rose and Riley. Bet she didn't tell you, she killed her first husband an child. That's why she adopted Rose. She loved them. Until she grew bored of her ex-husband, Dominick. They found someone to kill their first child, Amber, when she turned 18. Rose, you're turning 18, in two days, correct? She's informed me. She wants both of you dead. But Amanda first. Then on the night of your 18th birthday, I kill you, Rose. An Zack, why I threatened you, to make sure you don't get close to Amanda, so you don't get hurt when I was supposed to kill her. Same with what I told you about Zack, Amanda. I didn't want you guys to be attached. The day I found you on the side of the road, our second time meeting, I asked to take you away, so I could say, I killed you, an I keep you safe. If I just told you upfront, you'd never believe me." Rain sighed, you can feel the sorrow in his words an eyes.
