Lie For Lucy (A short story)

Chp 8 - Halloween Night Strikes Back Pt-1🎃

Amelia's POV

*Night before Prom*

Emily: It was a year since the day i lost Lucy! I couldn't believe it. It felt like it was just yesterday i called Lucy, asking her what dress she is gonna wear. I had not seen her since 3 months. Prom night was day i was gonna see her but before i could even meet her, she died! Why was my life like this? Why was i orphan? Why all my foster parents left me or didn't pay any attention to me? The ones i lived with now were filght attendance. The Perkins are not so close to me either. They adopted me just to ignore me. Thia exactly what i felt everytime i was adopted! I just wanna pass out high school and move out! Stay all alone like i always do but at least it would be only me taking care of myself and no fake parents needed. Ugh! I hate life! The only support i had was Lucy who left me too. I am definitely gonna cry to sleep.

The night was long and upsetting for Emily. She wondered what happened to Lucy? Who killed her and Why? Is the rumour in school true? Is Lucy back? Is she taking revenge on her killers?

Wait a minute! Revenge on her killers.
Emily realised something. I totally forgot about this! Jared told me that Gert saw Lucy's body first and she suffered from trauma and again saw her at Kyle's hut. But Alex didn't have any involvement except for being caught for stealing. Can this be true? Did Alex, Gert or Kyle kill her? I had no many questions but not even a single answer! Oh My God! She sighed and held her head in confusion.
That's it! Tomorrow will be the day of truth! Let's see what they have to say when i ask them my questions. Tomorrow all my questions will be answered.

Emily slept that night in confusion, curiosity and nervousness. She couldn't wait for tomorrow.

*Next morning in school*

Jared: Hey honey! So what are you wearing for Prom?

Emily: Yeah nothing much!

Jared: You don't seem happy.

Emily: I don't know! Since last year Prom is not even exciting. Look at the people around us. So happy and excited. The year is ending and they are spending their last moments in school. Its just exhausting to think about this whole year.

Jared: I know honey! But can we help it? We can only remember her in nice way. Not thinking who killed her but remembering all the good moments you had with her! I know you really want to know what happened actually to her. And we will find out very soon. So be happy for this day. Okay! I am there with you and i always will be.

Emily: Aww that's really sweet of you!
Sure i will try to be happy.

Jared: That's like a good girl! Now what are you wearing for Prom?

Emily: I am not sure but i think i have a light pink gown that i can wear. Well you know what let's keep this a surprise. Pick me up at 7 and you will see me then! Okay! Now i am going home i need my dress to be ready! Its gonna be a perfect night! Love you!

She kissed Jared and left in haste as her excitement was just on top of the air! Jared was awkwardly confused and excited as well.

The night that was awaited by all was here! Everybody had their own thing! Some had to win the Prom King and Queen, some had a confrontation to make, some had myths of Lucy returning and killing someone else tonight and somewhere just afraid to accept their faults!

Jared reached at Emily's house at 7. He was nervous and pretty excited to see Emily. He wore a dark blue tux, with his brown hair pulled back and his eyes were just wow, i mean sea green eyes are so rare. He was Emily's Prince Charming. He climbed the stares to Emily's house door and rang the bell. After half a minute, the door opened. Emily has standing there like a Cinderella. She was wearing a light pink dress with a heart shape neck embedded by pink rhinestones and glitters over the top with a pair of elegant light pink gloves. Her hair was pulled up into a bun. She was looking adorable.

Jared: Wo......w
You look......absolutely.....Wow, i mean you look amazing.
He was speechless and amazed by her look.

Emily: Well thank you! You are handsome as a Prince. My Prince!
She blew him a kiss.
So let's go shall we?

Jared: Yes follow me, Milady!!

Emily giggled as they left from Prom in Jared's car.

After few minutes, they reached to the Prom. The theme was not like last year. It wasn't spooky and all but elegant and joyous. It gave good vibes. As they went in, they started slow dancing. While Mandi, Adrien and Hayley were in a corner standing very distracted. They soon left the ball room which created suspicion in Emily's head as she already had a doubt on them.

She told Jared that they should divide and go after them. After Jared agreed, they both split.
Emily went out crossing the bathroom and Jared left from the main gate of the ball room. They were back where they did the crime. Near the lockers in the hall way. They stood there as Mandi needed focus on preparing her confession. Hayley and Adrien were supporting her as she was writing her confession near Lucy's locker.
Suddenly there was a movement from behind of the locker wall at the end of the room. It grabbed their attention as the hall was completely dark and empty.

Hayley: Did you guys hear that?!

Adrien: Who is it? He screamed out loud.

There was no response. He decided to go and see who it was. As he got closer to the wall, he saw a figure of a girl in a WHITE GOWN WITH BLOOD STAINS AND WEARING A MASK ON HER FACE!

Adrien lost breath as he saw that it was none other than her prom date last year!

He called out," Lucy, is that you?"
A reply came back "Yep that's me"
and giggled in a creepy way which made Adrien walk back slowly slowly.
The figure came closer and became more visible as Adrien went behind. He got afraid to death as he saw a base ball bat in her hand covered with blood. He started breathing loudly which indicated Mandi and Hayley in running the other way. Adrien shouted them to run away and he pulled out his gun and pointed towards her.

Adrien: Let's see if your ghost brain feels this!!
