It's been a two days of Amanda hiding away, with Rain. Zack would come an visit. Amanda wore just a plain white hoodie with blue jeans, she lost care of trying to look nice, so she left her hair down. Today was the day Rain would pick up Rose an the day the car came for Amanda's departure. Rain was dressed in a plain blue shirt, an blue jeans with clean sneakers. His hair was a bit a mess, he didn't mind.
"Are you ready?" Rain said sweetly, trying to hide the hurt in his voice.
"Let's just hurry so I can get the hell out of here." Amanda snapped. She turned around to take a walk in the woods, an she bumped into Zack. When she looked at him, she remember the night he kissed her. She just couldn't get over that. She pushed him aside an continued to walk.
"What's with her?" Zack looks towards Rain with a very weird look.
"Uhm.. I think it's that she wants to go home." Rain sighed deeply.
'I need to get out of here.. I need to get away.. I need away!! I miss my friends.. I miss my home..But.. I made new friends.. I'd be leaving Rose...Rose didn't want to go with me.. I'd lose Rain an Zack... Dammit why is this decision left to me! I hate thi-' Amanda's thoughts were cut off, by footsteps. She stops walking an looks in the direction of the sounds.
"You were supposed to be dead." Kim's voice rang into Amanda's ears loudly. Amanda took off running as fast as she could. She couldn't stop, she knew, she'd actually be dead if she stopped.
"You can run, but you can't hide forever." Kim spat out, while she stopped chasing Amanda. After 6 minutes of running, Amanda trips an falls. She landed in a pile of sticks, one poked her arm, but it didn't start bleeding. She sat up, looking around. She let out a sigh of relief an called Zack.
"Everything alright?" Zack said concerned.
"Get out of here. Soon." Amanda looks around her, to make sure Kim wasn't around.
"Why?"
"Zack, get Rain an Rose out of here. Kim knows I'm alive. She could harm you guys." Amanda started to tear up. She could hear noises in the background.
"Alright. Meet at that big lake you found the other day." Amanda's heart sunk in, with the thought of returning to that lake. Amanda stood up an started walking in a random direction. After what felt like hours of walking aimlessly in the woods, she could hear water. She took off running towards it, but didn't make it far. She was too tired to run. She finally came onto the water, an fell down next to it. Amanda laid back on the ground watching the clouds pass by, it was a pretty cloudy day. After ten minutes, footsteps could be heard. If it was Kim, Amanda would be ready to die. She accepted her fate.
"Amanda get up!" Rose said in a concerned voice as she ran over to Amanda. It was the first time in months that Rose used Amanda's full name. Amanda looked over to Rose.
"She is after me. Just leave. By time she finds me an kills me, you guys can already be out of city an everything. Go run. Be careful though. I'll see you guys again one day." Amanda sat up, with a fake smile with her face covered in tears. Zack walks up to Amanda an picks her bridal style.
"Hell no. You're coming with me." Zack starts to run with Amanda in his arms, but Rose grabs his shirt.
"To where? I'm coming." Zack nodded as Rose walked next to Zack, an so did Rain, but he remained silent. After some walking, a voice could faintly be heard.
"You can run, but you can't hide foreever~ Come on out now~" the rough voice was soon matched with a body. "There you children are. Be a dear an hand Amanda an Rose over. All will be good." Kim smiled a wicked smile. Zack stepped back. Rain moved a few feet closer to Kim to block her view of Amanda.
"I'm not letting that happen. Over my dead body will you take her." Rain spat at Kim.
"I can arrange that." Kim's smile grew more an more sinister by the second.
"I'm afraid, that wish will not be granted. At least, not with me in this town, Kamilia." Everyone turned to see Asadeath with two other figures, you couldn't make out any features. They were covered with a black cloth. All you could see, were the eyes. They both had one eye blue, another green. When the voice reached Kim's ears, she froze, she didn't dare move.
"Kamilia? What, miss me?" Asadeath smiled kindly.
"H-Hard-l-ly.." Kim stuttered out in fear. All eyes switched back an forth on Kim and Asadeath.
"Sis.. You know.. Kim?" Zack finally spoke in shock.
"Oh yes. She escaped me. Kamilia Trankalome. Her crime was murder. On her 'beloved' family. Sick. So when I got my sight on her, soon after, she came up missing. She was locked away in my basement. I had a meeting, an someone, Zack was little an didn't know my job. Yeah, I joined a group 3 months ago, but I've been doing this for 15 years now. 9 years ago since Zack let her out. I didn't think you'd ever come back around here. You did miss me~ Let's finish what we started, shall we?" Asadeath's voice was still sweet, but towards the end, it grew deathly cold. Moments of staring, Amanda spoke.
"So.. You're just using us in your game. Now that I think about it, this is all a game. A death game. You just kill people, after so long, when you grow bored of them. How many other's were there, Kamilia?" her voice was serious.
"Such a child, with a big mind, you're right. This is a game. And I'll never give this game up!" Kim yelled while laughing like a complete psycho. She gives Amanda the most terrifying smile she's ever saw, as she back-flips an starts running. No one chased her.
"She's number One on my list, again. She shall be mine, an she shall pay for her horrible sins! Asadeath yells as she walks back away, leaving Amanda, Rain, Rose, an Zack dumbfounded.
"What just happened..." they all muttered to themselves as they all exchange looks.
