Into The Woods

Bomb

Amelia answered the phone, "What?" she answered coldly.

  Lacey chuckled, "Is that any way to talk to your sister?"

  Amelia had the phone on speaker, and Trudy submerged from the crowd of listeners.

  Amelia looked to Trudy with aggressive eyes, and then said to Lacey, "What are you talking about?"

  Lacey laughed, "We're sisters, they gave me up because I was born wolf. They fed me to the rogues."

  Amelia gasped, and looked to Trudy. Trudy's gaze fell to the floor with shame.

  Amelia said, "It doesn't matter! Where's my father, Lacey!"

   Lacey replied in a somewhat humorous tone, "Well, Sis, he's right beside me."

  Amelia exclaimed, "You'll be sorry!"
 
  Lacey chuckled, "No, no I won't. Meet me at the river, and I'll bring Dad."

  Amelia grumbled, "He's not your father, you-"

  Lacey hung up, and Amelia slammed the phone down.

  Trudy rushed over, "I'm sorry. We should've told you. So much of our werewolf past is causing you pain, I'm sor-"

  Amelia held up her hand, "I keep telling people the lies, the things you hid, doesn't change how I feel about you. Well, now I can't say that."

  Trudy frowned, "I love you."

  Amelia frowned, "I love you, but, I just can't trust you right now."

  Trudy sniffled, "Everything we've done was to keep you safe!"

  Amelia scoffed, "Look around, that failed."

  Trudy frowned, "I'm sorry."

  Amelia said, "I know. I just can't forgive you right now."

   Trudy cried out, "I love you!

  Amelia didn't reply, and she started to walk outside, but stopped at the doorframe, "Blade, you don't have to come, you don't have to put yourself in danger."

  Blade walked out with her, "I wouldn't let you go alone."

  ~•~

  They reached the river. Blade was searching the area, "We aren't actually going with her?"

  Amelia chuckled, "It's two against one."

  Suddenly, a bush wiggled and out stepped Abigail, "Watch out!"

  Lacey chuckled and walked out with Garth shackled at the arms, and legs.

  Lacey pushed him onto the ground and pulled a sword out of it's sheath, "Look, Sis, Dad's about to die!"

  Amelia screamed, "Dad! No!"
 
   Lacey raised the sword's tip to Garth's neck, "Sorry, Sis."

Abigail yelled, "Lacey! I know that your like us!"

  Lacey looked up, "Good."

  Garth said, "I love you, Amelia!"

  Lacey sliced Garth's neck. Amelia yelled, "No!!"

  Amelia ran up and tackled Lacey. Lacey lost the sword and it tumbled into the river.

  Amelia and Lacey lay on the ground stiff. Lacey groaned, and Amelia twisted her waist to realign with her body.

  Amelia stumbled up, as did Lacey, and Lacey chuckled, "Idiot."

  Amelia gritted her teeth, and looked to her father's lifeless body, "I hate you."

  Lacey grinned, "Good!"

  Lacey grabbed a rock, and flung it at Amelia's head. Blade saw this and pushed Amelia out of the way.

   Abigail rushed over to make sure they were okay, as they both crashed on the ground.

  Lacey tugged Abigail, "You say you know what I am," Lacey took a small dagger and plunged it into Abigail's heart, "but you don't."

  Lacey looked down to Blade and Amelia. Blade got to his feet, and Amelia was looking up at Lacey.

  Lacey sighed, "Pathetic."

  Lacey began walking off, and Blade helped Amelia up. Amelia asked, "Why not follow her?"

  Blade said, "We have to get out of here."

  Amelia asked, "Why?"

  Blade frowned, "Listen."

  After listening, a bomb could be heard ticking down.
