CHAPTER FOUR

Who's up for pizza? "
I heard two "me's" echo in the hallway.
"Not me" I said descending the stairs.
"I ate a whole bag of cheese sticks on my way home after school."
I tightened the lace on my boots and headed straight for the door. "I'm going for a walk. Be back by ten "
"Milton hunny could you please make the order" I heard Jewel say before I slammed shut the door.
I stepped out into the cold night and on second thought I went back inside, grabbed my dark green coat and stepped back out.
I turned up the volume on my iPod,it was playing one of my favorites;Firestone, by Kygo & Conrad Sewell. I walked slow and steady on the pedestrian path past Mella's diner and headed for the Grimview bridge.
Anytime I went for a walk, it was either to the abandoned play ground in the South Park or the Grimview bridge.
They gave me the peace of mind I needed and kept hold of my sanity from all the insanity found in the rest of the world around me.
I sat under the bridge facing the Grimstream.
"You know sooner or later someone has to find out, the sooner that someone finds out, the better for us all "
I jumped in my own skin. I turned around frantically in search Of God knows what, but I know I heard something-someone.
How was it even possible?
Over the loud music playing in my ears I still heard the voice loud and clear.
"I really need to stop watching horror movies", I thought to myself as I put my headphones on, very slowly.
"You don't have to look far"
The voice rumbled again; like thunder.
This time I stood up. Little sweat beads forming on my forehead. Then I saw it.
The swift movements ;a shadow crept up in the dark. The hair on the back of my neck stood.
"Silver Stone; 1863. You don't have to look far. "
The shadow backed up against the brick wall of the under bridge and before I knew it, it was gone.
What the fuck was going on with me?
I was bloody loosing it! And just when I thought insanity was for the rest of the world *sigh*
I picked up my headphones which had somehow fallen to the ground without my notice and begun backing away from the place as fast as I could until I suddenly bumped into something very broad and strong. Some kind of electric feeling flashed through me from my toes straight up to my hair. I was freaking the hell out; this shit always happened in horror movies and to me this was looking pretty much to me as the part where the bad guy murders the ugly innocent girl. I didn't even realize I was screaming at the top of my voice and kicking with all my strength at whatever it was that had gripped me .
"Amanda! Amanda calm down! It's me, Jonathan!" He shook me vigorously back to reality.
"Get off of me you prick! " I tangled free of his grip and kicked at the sand.
"What the fuck is wrong with you? I coulda had a heart attack ya know!...wait come to think of it, what are you doing here? "
