Rise of the Night

Part 7: The Rescue Mission

     Amery slept for two days before she regained her energy. Mya as well was exhausted from the fight. Alicia wanted to go rescue Angelina, but Amery was the only one that knew where Angelina was, so she had to be patient.

     Amery stirred and slowly sat up muttering "Sissy?"

     Mya walked into Amery's room and said "Oh good, you're awake. Are you hungry?"

     Amery just nodded and started to get out of bed. As she stepped down, she wobbled and started to fall over.

     Mya ran up next to her and supported her. "Come on baby sis; let's see if Alicia can make us some lunch."

     Mya took Amery's hand and walked with her into the kitchen where Alicia had been cleaning up. When Alicia heard footsteps, she turned around to see Mya with Amery walking close to her.

     "Hey sweetheart, are you feeling better?" Alicia asked.

     Amery nodded then said, "Can we have lunch?"

     "Yeah sure, let me see what we got." Alicia rummaged around in the pantry then pulled out a can of mini raviolis. "These sound good to you?" Alicia asked. Amery's eyes lit up a little bit as she nodded.

     So all three girls sat there eating and Amery couldn't seem to get enough. Alicia just kept giving her small amounts at a time because for one, she didn't know how much Amery would eat, and two, Alicia didn't want Amery making herself sick to her stomach.

     After lunch, Amery sat in the living room, recalling all that had happened with Rement. Not long after, she remembered where she saw Angelina.

     "How were you able to find her?" Alicia asked.

     "I don't know. When I was looking at Rement, I just saw where he had taken her." Amery replied.

     "So what do you remember about what you saw?" asked Alicia.

     "I saw Rement going down a street not far from here, then walking into an abandoned house. He walked down the stairs and left Angelina chained to a wall in the room at the bottom of the stairs. She looked really sleepy and a little pale." Amery answered.

     "Do you think you could show us where?" Alicia asked, knowing Amery might still be a little groggy.

      "Yeah, we can go now if you want to. We need to help her, but we gotta be careful. There was another man in there with her, guarding the door to the room she's in."

     Alicia looked over at Mya, a little concerned. She wasn't very confident in her powers yet, and she knew Amery and Mya were probably still exhausted.

     She looked over at Amery and smiled and said, "Sure, if you think you're okay to go, then I guess we can go. But first, why don't you change out of your PJs."

     Amery giggled and sprinted out of the room. Alicia took that as a good sign that she had gained back most of her energy. As soon as Amery had come skipping out in her favorite tutu outfit, they were ready to head out the door. All three girls piled into the car and set out to rescue their friend. They drove as casually as possible as not to alert whoever was with Angelina. As Amery pointed out the house and Alicia parked in front of it, all three girls had a new feeling of determination in the hearts.

     They cautiously approached the house. Amery had been right; the house looked as if no one had lived in it in decades. Alicia could definitely feel an evil presence in the house with Angelina. Both Alicia and Mya started to slow as they reached the house, but Amery just kept walking on as if she was in a trance.
