Chapter 16: The Darkness Comes Again

Will's POV:

I'm still super angry that my double kissed MY girlfriend. He deserves every second of his pudding torture with Auntie Kim.

I walked through the kitchen at one point and Will shot me a glare. He accidentally poured some milk on the burner.

"Oh dear! We had better clean this up. Don't worry Will you're starting to get it I think!" Auntie Kim encouraged.

I smirked at him before leaving the room.

Emi was still in the family room on the couch. Sketching.

"Almost done?" I asked.

"Yes, but you don't get to see it even when it IS done." Emily hid the page against her shirt.

"Does that mean its of me?" I smiled.

"Yes." Emi nodded and tapped her pencil against the notebook.

"What do you think of...that Will so far?" I inquired.

Emily's whole face darkened. "I don't like him." She mumbled. "He's...weird..."

"Why cause he kissed my girlfriend? Or cause you just don't like me in the first place?"

"Hm...I'll have to think about that one." Emi smiled.

"You're so..."

"Of course I like you. If I didn't that would mean I would have to not like myself!" Emi cut in.

"I guess I have to take that compliment?" I smirked.

"Its the best you're going to get." Emily went back to her sketch.

"So if I'm you, I can see your sketch?" I begged. "I'm dying to see what it is!"

"That's curiosity for ya." Emi didn't even look up from her sketch.

"Okay fine, I'll just go flirt with Sophie then!" I cried.

"Yep." Emily continued sketching furiously.

Dang it. She's so hard to annoy.

Emily's POV:

Will stomped off just as the other Will came in and collapsed on the couch. "I am so getting back at you for the pudding." He groaned.

I smirked. "I'd like to see you try."

"Hey what did I do? From the first moment I walked in the door you've been glaring at me and bullying the heck out of me." Will sat up straight and whined.

The word "bullying" brought back some pretty bad memories. I shuddered at the thought.

"Okay okay...I'm sorry." I mumbled. "Its just hard to know who to trust here, you know?"

"No I don't. Please, educate me." Will leaned back again and put his hands behind his head. This angered me for some reason, he was treating me like...like...I can't even find the right WORD I'm so flustered!

"Well we met up with Sophie's evil twin. She had Will and when we found him we had to take him to the hospital. It really scared me okay?" I explained.

"Yeah I get it. So how about now I tell YOU something scary?" Will stood up and came over to me.

I stood up too. I didn't like the tone of voice he was using on me.

"No thanks. I get nightmares easily." I floundered and started to scribble a message on my sketchbook.

"I know the Sophie you're talking about, in fact...I'm REALLY good friends with her." Will smirked.

I looked around but I didn't see anyone. Where was everybody? The whole house had gone quiet. Even Auntie Kim's puttering around in the kitchen had stopped.

"HEY GUYS!?" I yelled.

"Nobody can hear you right now." Will smirked.

What!? 

"Okay what if I yell REALLY REALLY loudly?" I asked. 

"N..."

"HEEEEEY GUUUUUUUYS!!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

Will covered his ears for a minute but he started laughing afterwards.

Oh my gosh...what is going on?

"Alrighty then. I guess its your turn to get sent to the hospital." Will whispered. "I think I'll pay you back for the pudding by becoming your new bully."

That was when I decided to run.

I ran like my life depended on it, which it might. 

I ran right out the door, out onto the busy city streets.

I decided NOT to look back. I didn't need to to be able to tell that Will was chasing after me.

My lungs started to get that hurting cold feeling they get when I'm running too fast and not getting enough air. I also was getting a HUGE cramp.

I finally looked behind me but didn't see Will anywhere.

I slowed to a stop and leaned against a building to catch my breath.

Oh my word I hurt so bad.

"Hard run huh." A voice said.

I turned but didn't get a chance to look at the person. All I know is that something wacked me in the head, and then I was falling into the darkness for the second time in the past few weeks.

Would I ever see the light again?
