Infinite and Beyond

Chapter1

He called me begging me to got to this "Secret place," "Please baby," He begged, "I need to tell you something that this time people won't know before you do."

It was a small town and every time Michael wanted to tell me something people in town knew before I did. I hated this town and wanted more than anything to leave this place and go to a big town. Only micheal knew my secret desire of leaving.

"Okay fine, I will go." I sighed too curious to play hard to get, or be clever with my words. "Thank you babe!" He said, I could feel his excitement through the phone.

I waited by the door in a small turquoise tank top and skinny jeans. I saw his head lights pulling into the driveway, I hoped my parents didn't wake up and notice I was gone. I ran out side my hair flowing behind me like a super heroes cape.

Chapter 2

We rode in his white Mustang until we reached a small forest. He exitedly ran into the forest forgetting me. I quickly unlocked and fumbled with the door knob to open it. I then ran following him. "Micheal?" I called into the eerie silent night. I heard leaves rustling behind me and my heart was pounding like a hammer. I felt his warmth on my back and felt safe. "You brat!"I said as he kissed my neck.

I felt his leg wrap around me as we fell into the leaves kissing. I then knew what he was trying to get me to do. "No Michael, I'm not doing this tonight." I said even though it felt good. "Come on, please?" He looked at me with pleading eyes. "No I do not want to get pregnant." I answered not going to give in.

"Is this what you wanted me to come for, to have sex in the middle of the woods?" I asked frustrated at my waste of time. "No come here." He said zipping his pants up and walking into the woods with an embarrassed countenance glazed upon his sharp features.

I followed him until we reached a river and we stopped and sat in the long grass. "We will be together Infinite and Beyond, you know that right?" He whispered soothingly into my ear.

"Of course I know, my prince." I whispered back leaning in to kiss him. He backed away and looked into the distance just staring, a few times he opened his mouth to say something but each time he shut it again as if he couldn't get the right words out.

"Sam, i'm serious do you love me as much as I love you?" He spoke with a sudden stern look on his face, still not bothering to look at me. I grabbed his chin with my thumb and index finger and made him look at me.

"I always will love you more than anything. Cross my heart and hope to die." I said with the last part to get the awkward seriousness away. His face lit up and I could tell entrusted me to keep that promise.

He slowly reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a black fuzzy box that you buy jewelry in. He opened it and extended it out towards me to get a better look. it was beautiful the moon hit it just right so I could see the shimmering diamonds. "If that's true you are going to marry me then okay?" He said this as a statement because he knew me too well to know that I wouldn't say no.

Tears welled into my eyes but I couldn't cry I promised myself not to be that kind of girl. "Well since I don't have any other choice then fine." I teased overjoyed that I was to spend the rest of my life with this amazing boy that I love dearly. We both laughed and kissed rolling along on the river bank until we had to go back home.

Chapter 3

In the afternoon when I woke up everyone was quiet. "What's up guys?" I asked in a cheery voice grabbing a slice of crispy, brown bacon. "Samantha sit down." My mother said through short sobs. I sat in the high seat next to her. "What's wrong?" I asked afraid of the answer. "There was a murder here in Walton, we don't know any of the details yet." My father said sternly putting his arm around my mom. "W-who was it?" I stuttered. They both looked at me sadly. "WHO WAS IT!?" I screamed tears flowing from my face thinking of the possibilities. I got up and ran out of the house tears blocking my view, I ran to Michaels house so he could soothe my growing fear.

I arrived at his house and ran up the driveway out of breath, I knocked on the door. After no answer I repeatedly knocked impatiently, until his mother came to see me collapse on the stairs in a meltdown. "Oh, Samantha come in." Micheals mother said tears wet on her cheeks as well.

"I came to see Micheal." I said through sniffles, she looked at me for a long time until she burst into tears. "Samantha did your parents tell you about the murder?" She asked after being able to clear the tears. "Well part of it they didn't tell me who." I stuttered. "Samantha, Hun m-Micheal was the one m-murdered." She cryed.

I was frozen not blinking just looking straight ahead at micheals moms lips, those evil words that somehow escaped that innocent mouth. "Your joking, right?" I laughed. "I'm afraid I'm not 'joking.' She said through tears. I ran those thoughts through my head and I knew it couldn't be real I just talked to him yesterday. In fact he just proposed yesterday. I reached my hand and felt my lips still warm from his loving kiss and looked down at the ring he slipped onto my finger. That was the last kiss from him, the last late-night drive to the middle of nowhere, the last look into each others eyes until I couldn't stare into his icy blue eyes any longer. My last time I would probably ever have a boyfriend at these thoughts I ran out the door. My tears were running uncontrollably down my hot cheeks.

I ran until I reached the river in the woods we went to just last night. I fell to my knees crying and mumbling to myself wishing my fiance was there to hold me and tell me everything was okay. But I know it won't be.

I felt his fingers run down my back slithering down my spine making me shutter from his strong grasp. He slowly kisses me at first just a taunting touch and then in full I climb on top of him and lay there loving this moment wishing it could stay this way forever. Suddenly, he aggressively pushes me away and I look at him stunned and hurtby the fact he doesn't want me to kiss him. He reaches his hand to his mouth then brings it back down with fingers oozing with blood he  smiles with the grotesque blood stained on his teachers and lips, and then I see penny sized holes all across his stomach and bare chest with blood pouring out all over me. I scream and try to stand but he pulls me in and whispers "They will come for you also don't listen turn away it isn't real."

                                                                      ***

I feel my nails digging into my palm and wake myself up the dream still haunting my mind. The words he teased my mind with puzzled me. Who are they and what does he mean by "It isn't real."?  I sit up in the bedded down area in the tall grass where Michael proposed. when I realize I have stopped crying it makes me just all the more angry. I rise to my sleeping feet and stomp through the grass towards my house. As I walk I find myself talking once again and I can't recall what that conversation with myself consisted of.
