A Mystery

Chapter Four

- Alana's POV -

Amber was no where to be found in the house.. My body started to shake at the fear. I told her not too leave the house, she can't mess up our lives again.

I quickly put on my slippers and opened the front door, stepping out onto the cold ground in the middle of the night.

"Amber.." I whispered as I wrapped my coat around me, I got to the end of our garden and looked out down the path. I seen a figure.. In the distance on the beach. Should I approach? Or would something bad happen again..

I closed the garden gate behind me and walked down the path, slowly. The figure started to turn into a girl, sitting on the sand, it was Amber.

"A-Amber hunny?.." I said as my lip quivered, she made no movement.

I walked closer but with care, I was right behind her now.

"Leave me.." She said in a strong tone, not turning around.

"Amber it's me, your mum. I'm not going to hurt you I promise" I said putting my hand on her shoulder lightly she jumped back and pushed me away.

"Don't fucking touch me!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, I covered my face with my hands. The wind started to pick up, my coat almost blew off my shoulders.

"I told you to go, leave me at peace" she shouted once more.

"Amber I'm not leaving you out here, this is dangerous snap out of it" I said calmly but loud over the wind. I could see the anger in her eyes, the wind grew stronger as she walked towards me clenching her fists.

I walked backwards quickly avoiding any damage to myself.

"Amber listen to me!! I know you're in there.. LISTEN.. ITS YOUR MOTHER" I screamed.

- Josh's POV -

"I HATE YOU MOTHER, LEAVE ME AT PEACE!!!" I heard being screamed from outside, it awoke me from my sleep. I checked the clock sitting on my desk, it was 3:30am. I yawned not knowing what was going on.

The wind was shaking the house, I quickly climbed to the bottom of my bed and peaked through the curtain slowly.

My eyes widened at what I was seeing, there was a woman in pyjamas on the ground with her arms around her head, I think she was protecting herself. And at the other end of the path way was a girl.. She had her arms up, high in the sky.. It looked like she was controlling the wind. I gasped and ducked down still watching closely.

She had anger, pain and fear in her eyes.. I could see it. What was she doing? Why is there a helpless woman on the ground?

I ran into Mikes room and tried to wake him up.

"Mike hurry something's going on outside!!" I shouted while tapping him, he turned around.

"It's just the wind, go back to sleep" he mumbled, I sighed and ran down the stairs. Looking out the front door window, the woman on the ground was now gone.. The girl was left standing on the pathway. The wind was no longer blowing, but the girl looked different.. Her head was looking down, her arms were hunched over facing the ground, sadness is all I could see.

Suddenly she fell towards the ground, I grabbed the front door key and jammed it into the door. Finally getting it open I ran out into the stormy night and jumped over the garden fence.

I quickly got over to her lifeless body lying there on the dirty ground. Tears were all over her face, I carefully picked her up and set her on my lap, pushing the hair from her face. It was the girl I was suspicious off.. No wonder I was scared of her! My spine started to shiver, I set her down peacefully and ran back to my house, shaking with fear I slammed the front door and fell down to the ground.

What's going on here?!?
