Into The Woods

Level Three

Trudy hugged Amelia, and Amelia pulled away, "I'm not.." she looked to Blade, "I'm not normal."
  
   Garth hugged her, "You're special. That's good."

  Amelia hugged Blade, after pulling away from Garth, "I don't know what I am."

  Blade let his chin rest on Amelia's head.

Amelia asked, "What is Lacey?"

  Blade backed up, "A killer."

  Amelia frowned, "I shouldn't let her words get into my head."

  Blade smirked, "Who told you that?"

  Amelia shrugged, "Can't remember his name." she smirked, although she was clearly still upset.

   ~•~

   Amelia was eating alone. Penny tapped her shoulder, and Amelia looked back. Amelia chuckled, "You scared me."

  Penny smiled and sat beside her, "Why so alone?"

  Amelia didn't answer. Penny asked again, "You shouldn't be alone, why are you?"

  Amelia shrugged, "Lacey-"

  Penny scowled, "She doesn't matter, she will say anything to get under your skin."

  Amelia looked up, "Her words got under my skin, and into my heart."

  Penny frowned, "Come on, Amelia, don't let it bother you. She'll say anything. She's killed families in cold blood just to make a point."

  Amelia shuddered at the thought and nodded, "Thanks, Penny."

  Penny nodded, "Anytime." Penny walked off and Amelia finished her meal.

   ~•~

  Amelia was resting on her bed, and she was staring at the ceiling.

  Suddenly, the phone beside her bed rang, Amelia answered, "He-Hello?"

  Lacey replied, "Hey, did you ask your parents?"

  Amelia freaked out inside, but calmly replied, "I did."

  Lacey replied, "And?"

  Amelia stated, "They told me the truth."

  Lacey smiled, and it came across in her voice, "You know what you are. Yet, you haven't contacted me, why?"

  Amelia replied, growing in anger, "You're a murderer!"
 
  Lacey sighed, "Alright, alright. Calm down. Level two failed, I tried to rip your family apart from the inside. Now, level three begins. I rip your family apart, literally."

  Amelia started to ask more questions but the phone on the other line went dead.

  Amelia hung up and rushed out to find Darren.

  Amelia walked down the stairs, but before she reached he bottom she heard commotion.

  "Garth!" Trudy shouted with fear.

  Amelia ran quickly and jumped the last step.

  She paused, seeing Garth being dragged. Amelia frowned, "Dad!" she shouted and rushed up to a guard.

   They were clearly sent from Lacey. One guard dropped the unconscious Garth's feet, and grabbed Amelia.

  Amelia's eyes widened, and she sent her fist into the man's chest.

  The guard stumbled back, and gasped for air. Amelia then jumped in the air, twirled her body, and sent her foot into the guard's head. Amelia thought about how she was able to attempt and victoriously do that action.

   The guard collapsed and a few more guard's started attacking other pack members. Amelia was snapped out of the thought. Amelia started to join in. The guards retreated, soon after Amelia started helping. After retreating, the guards slammed the door.

  Amelia looked around, and Trudy rushed up, "Are you okay?"

  Trudy's forehead had blood leaking, and Amelia gestured to it, "I'm fine, but are you?"

   Trudy saw Amelia's blood from her arms, Trudy motioned for Amelia to follow, "Come on."

Amelia interjected, "Where's Dad?"

  Everyone was silent. Amelia felt panic arise, "Where's Dad!"

  No one said a word, and Amelia tensed. Trudy frowned, "We'll find him, but we need to be took care of first."

  Trudy led Amelia to a small office. It was like a doctor's office. It was full of equipment.
  
   A grey headed woman appeared. Her hair went to her hips, and she had clearly smiled a lot. She was wrinkled, and had a rosy red lipped smile.

  The woman greeted them, "Trudy, and, and," the woman studied Amelia, "My word! That's Amelia!"

  Trudy nodded, "Yes, Abigail, this is my daughter."

  Abigail hugged the stiffened Amelia. Amelia relaxed as Abigail offered her a seat.

~•~

  After finishing up her doctoring, Abigail scanned over the two, "I heard the commotion, what happened?"

   Trudy looked to the floor, "Lacey took Garth."

   Abigail halted putting up her tools, and looked at Trudy with amazement.

  Abigail shuddered, "Her father was the definition of evil."

Trudy nodded, "Amelia, stay with Abby, I have to go find your father."

  Before Amelia could stop Trudy, Trudy was already out the door.

   Amelia looked to Abigail. Abigail leaned in, "I have a secret to tell you."
