The Secret Life of Samantha Roberts

Chapter 15: Slowly Falling

We rode the bus back to the house, and when we walked inside, it was silent.

He took me outside in the yard, and everyone yelled surprise. The team, Dr.
White, and even the Crown's were there.

"Thanks guys." I said smiling.

"It was mostly Peter's idea." Cindy said.

I walked towards Mrs. Crown, and tightly hugged her.

"I miss you." I said.

"We miss you too sweetie." Mrs. Crown said.

I was disappointed that Luke wasn't here because even before I knew he was my brother, we were pretty good friends.

I went around talking to the other guests. I was talking to Ben when he stops talking and stares at the woods. Everyone became silent.

I looked where he was staring, and surely enough I saw Luke. I couldn't believe my eyes. Next to him stood a person I believed to be dead. Justin walked along side Luke.

I angrily walked towards them.

I slapped him across the face.

"What is this? This is not funny!" I yelled.

"Well then. I can't have a little bit of fun?" He asked in Justin's voice.

"Who even are you?" I hissed.

"I'm the shapeshifter." He said.

"No, Who are you really?" I spit. I was fuming.

"Would you like to find out?" He asked.

"Yes!" I said.

He kissed my hand.

I fell to the ground.

It was cold and dark. A person was standing in front of me.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"My name is Andrew." He said coming into view.

"I remember you from The Manipulator's party. You danced with Cindy." I said remembering that day.

"I did. I'm the shapeshifter." He said.

"Why are you doing this to me?" I asked.

"It's my job to help you." He said.

"Why would the Manipulator hire you to help me?" I asked.

"He didn't. My other employer did." He said.

"My employer cares that you and Peter both live." He said.

"Who is this employer?" I asked.

"I can't tell you, but you still need to believe me about Peter. He wants you dead. You have to trust me." He said.

"I can't trust you. I've known Peter all of my life. Why should I believe you?" I asked angrily.

"Sam, have I lead you astray before?" He asked.

"No, but Peter wouldn't do this." I said.

"Yes, he would, and he will. Beware Sam, don't trust Peter." Andrew said sending me back into my mind.

I woke up in Peter's arms.

"Sam, you're okay!" He said happily. My vision was blurry.

"I'm fine. Where are we?" I asked him.
