Bella & Amanda: When Two Hearts Meet

9: End Of It All

Bella wakes up to see Amanda sleeping beside her. It was raining outside. Bella felt safer knowing Amanda was nearby. So she decided to go out to the front of her house, and sit in the swing chair on her porch, and watch the rain fall. "I wonder if she really does want to help... I wonder if she actually loves me. Unless it's all one big lie. On big nightmare or coma." She thought to herself. Amanda sits up and rubs her eyes. She goes to look at Bella. "Bella?" She says as she removes the covers. Panic begins. She walks around the house saying her name. She eventually walks outside and looks around. She sighs with relief. Bella stares at her for a moment before looking away. "Sorry. I just wanted some air." Bella says. Amanda sits beside her on the swing chair and holds her close. She's shivering. "It's okay. I thought he took you. Why are you out here in your Pj's?" Amanda asks. "I wanted some air. I thought I would make too much noise and wake you." Bella replies. "I'm sorry for sleeping. It's kinda hard not to sleep when around you. I feel more relaxed and wanted now. Thank you." Amanda says. Bella looks up at her and smiles a little. Bella looks back. "Do you really love me?" Bella asks. "If I didn't. I wouldn't be here. With you. I wouldn't have tried suicide. I wouldn't have done that ritual or whatever it was. It's hard to believe that after four years... I'm still in love with the same girl who's life is fucked up because of me. Then told that she loves me even after all the things I did." Amanda says as she looks away. "I forgive you, Amanda." Bella says as she pulls Amanda's chin gently to face her. "I love you. It took a while for me to realise... But I love you, Amanda. You're mine until I die." Bella says with a smile. Amanda smiles back. Bella leans in and kisses her. Amanda kisses back and deepens. Bella pulls away to breathe. She moves some of Amanda's hair behind her ear. "You look weird when your hair isn't in a ponytail." Bella states. Amanda chuckles. "I know. I was literally just up. Quit bullying me." Amanda jokes. Bella giggles. "Come on. Lets have something to eat and see how we can get rid of these douche bags that keep bothering us." Bella says as she stands up. Amanda Follows her back into the house and they both have their breakfast.

They sit in the living room. Bella looks at the petrol tank. "What's the petrol for?" Bella asks. "To burn the music box. If it doesn't work then I gotta say a spell that'll banish them back to hell. I think the spell is our best bet." Amanda answers. "And the crowbar?" Bella asks. "Apparently steel can hurt them. Did you actually think I was gonna kill you yesterday?" Amanda asks. Bella nods. "Okay. I get it. I summoned hell on you and you threw me out. But I won't kill you. Never in a million years." Amanda says. Bella takes a sip from her coffee and looks at Amanda. "He has a knife now. He thought a hammer wouldn't be much fun. So he swapped it with a kitchen knife." Bella says. "Then don't stand near him." Amanda says. Suddenly, her eyes widen before she quickly runs into the kitchen. The music box had appeared. "We need to go now. Lets get changed. Quickly." Amanda says as she pulls Bella along. "Amanda. I'm tired." Bella whines. "So am I. But the sooner we can't get this done, the sooner we can rest and have fun or something." Amanda says. Bella blushes. Taking what she said in a way Amanda didn't even think about. They begin to change into their clothes. Amanda ties her shirt the way Bella made it for her. She looks up at Bella who's already changed and smiling at her. "What?" Amanda asks. "I didn't expect you to keep your shirt like that. It makes you a little more attractive. Very attractive, actually." Bella says as she covers her red face. Amanda blushes and looks away as she does her ponytail. "Thanks. I like it too." Amanda says. "You need a jacket." Amanda says as she walks out the room with a smile. Bella follows and brings a jacket with her. Amanda forgot to bring hers. She throws the petrol on the back of the truck and gave Bella the music box before climbing in. Amanda looks at her and sees she has no jacket on. "What are you doing? You're gonna get a cold." Amanda says. "If you're not wearing one. I'm not. Make it fair." Bella replies. Amanda starts the engine and looks away. She holds Bella's hand tight in her own. "What are we gonna do if this doesn't work out well?" Amanda asks. Bella leans closer to Amanda. "I don't know. But I have you. That's all I need now." Bella replies before pecking Amanda on the lips. Amanda nods and drives off.

They reach the woods in less than ten minutes. They get out and make a small fire pit. The rain had stopped so it would be easier for them to make the fire. Amanda pours the petrol over the music box which sat on the small pile of branches and twigs. Amanda holds the lighter in her hand. "You ready?" Amanda asks. Bella nods. Amanda throws the lighter into the pile and it all erupts into flames. They stand close to eachother and watch the box melt away. Once it disappears, Amanda and Bella head back home. Leaving the fire to continue. Fortunately for them, the rain had started again. Bella enters the house with Amanda behind her. It was quiet. "I think it's over." Bella says with a smile. She turns to Amanda and smiles. "We'll wait and see I guess." Amanda says as she walks into the kitchen to get some water. Bella looks behind her after feeling a warm breath on the back of her neck. She jumps at the site of Wacko standing behind her with the well known smile. "It's not over yet, sex toy!" He says. Amanda snaps her neck back to the living room. "Bella, Watch out!" Amanda shouts. Bella turns her head to look at Amanda. In an instant, she holds her stomach with wide eyes. Everything flashed as if someone took a photo. Amanda cups her mouth and gasps. Bella slowly looks down at the knife in her stomach. Blood gushing out at a rapid pace. Wacko drives it further in, causing more pain for Bella, before slowly pulling the knife out. Bella falls back onto the floor and leans her back against the sofa. She holds her stomach in pain as she cries and trembles. "You monster!" Amanda shouts. "Really?! No shit, Sherlock!" Wacko replies before laughing.

Amanda begins to say the spell as she cries. Wacko stops laughing and walks towards her. "Shut up, whore. Your stupid spells don't work on me." Whacko says. Amanda throws the glass at his face and runs into the living room. Continuing the spell there. Whacko runs after her and pins her to the wall, holding the knife to her throat. Amanda had just finished the spell. Whacko looked at her with his sharp smile. "See? I told you your spells don't work on me, you-" He pauses after being pushed an inch forward and looks at his chest. A burning hot steel fire poker was sticking out. He suddenly begins to fade away into a black cloud which disappears shortly after to reveal Bella standing with the poker in hand. Her hands and entire lower half was covered in her blood. She stares at Amanda who stares at her. Bella drops the poker and holds her wound before collapsing. "Oh my God! Bella!" Amanda cries as she kneels beside her. She quickly calls an ambulance. After she did, she took off her top and used it to put pressure on the wound. Bella looks at her. Both of them in tears. An ambulance could be heard in the distance. But due to their location, It could be miles away or just around the corner. "Bella. Please don't go on me. Please, Bella. Please!" Amanda cries. Bella begins to feel herself black out. Before she does. Bella pulls Amanda in for a final kiss. Bella goes limp and closes her eyes. Amanda shakes her head and continues to hold Bella's wound. "Bella, please! Bella! Bella!" Amanda howls. The Ambulance gets louder. It's engine is at roaring. In no time, the crew are through the door and acting immediately. There was no time to take Bella to the hospital. They had to work then and there to prevent further blood loss before throwing her in the back. Amanda follows in her truck. Barely able to concentrate on her driving.
