Fifty Nine.

My ears were ringing.

It felt as if I was in a movie. Everything seemed to be happening in slow motion: there were people running everywhere, sparks of broken electricity cables were flying all over the place, shattered glass was on the floor...

"Belle! Belle, are you okay?", Cody shaked me beside him.

I nodded.

"Belle, we need to get out of here!", he pleaded, helping me stand.

I was still dizzy so I wasn't entirely functional.

"You're hurt", he said putting a hand on the side of my head and on my ear.

"Ouch", I winced.

It was bleeding.

Cody wouldn't stop looking everywhere around him.

"Cody, what's going on?", I asked, coming back into my senses again.

"It's Carter. He did this", he said clenching his fists and teeth as he pointed towards my mom's room.

It'd been completely destroyed.

The roof and outter walls were missing. Only the glassless window was still standing there. The bed, the only furniture left in the room, was burning.

A knot appeared in the back of my throat.

"Belle, come on!", Cody insisted, pulling me from my arm as we made our way down the hall towards the nearest exit.

He took my hand and with his other free one, he put it in front of him to open the exit door in front of us.

We'd just gone past it when something hit us both in the head and it all went black.

I blinked myself awake. 

I was tied to a chair and in a room I didn't recognize.

Shit.

That's when I remembered what had happened.

I looked beside me and a wave of relief hit me as I saw Cody sitting there, tied to his chair as well. Other than his bleeding lip, he was okay.

I sighed with relief but jumped as soon as the bang of the door opening, startled me.

A blonde guy came in and he walked straight towards us.

"You", I closed my eyes slightly as I recognized the pig face standing in front of me.

"Hello Amberly", he gave me a smug look.

"W-what? Amberly?", I looked at him confused.

The guy clenched his teeth as he looked at Cody, who was still unconscious. He suddenly stood up and went to stand right in front of him. He looked at him for a few seconds until he unexpectedly slapped him hard on the face, making me scream and Cody awaken.

He spat blood towards the blonde guy.

"Looks like your little girlfriend here doesn't recognize the name Amberly... Care to explain what you did to her?", he put both his arms on Cody's chair arm rests and putting his face closer to Cody's with each passing word he uttered, as Cody returned his gaze defiantly.

"You did this to her", Cody spat both hurt and furious.

"Me?", the guy chuckled. "I didn't do anything to her...", he said turning towards me. "Just a little playing around maybe", he put a hand on my chin, making me look up.
