1 Prologue

Age 16, 2018 

    "I'm sooo excited for your birthday!" Her best friend Emily said with a glimmer in her eyes,  "what are you going to do for your birthday?" 

    Amy looked at her,  "Maybe the skate park would be fun for my birthday."  Amy said with a happy tone in her voice. 

Emily gave a weird look at the answer her friend gave her,  "The skate park..."  Emily said disgusted.

 " What? I love skating."  Amy said. Amy knew Emily would dislike her option for a birthday party, but she couldn't just change her plan just for her best friend.

"You know if you don't like skating then don't come."  Amy said with a little attitude. 

"Fine!!! I'll come, but there better be cute boys there!" Emily snapped. 

Amy rolled her eyes as she waved goodbye to Emily as she opened her house door and slid in.

As she walked in, the soft warm breezy air swept through her face.  "Mhmm, mother must be making pie for dinner."  Amy said as she placed her bag next to the door. 

Amy swept up the stairs to find herself on the ground being smothered in puppy kisses. "G- Ginger S-Stop!" Amy said giggling as Ginger gave a bark of joy. 

Amy got up and headed to her room, Amy opened the door to see light purple walls, a fluffy white carpet, her bed full of stuffed animals with a white blanket cover. Amy went over and flopped on her bed and looked around her room. She saw her desk with her computer and all her papers of schoolwork on her desk, as her desk lamp sat there not turned on. She pushed herself toward her desk and reached over to turn her lamp on, as she did a flash of light caught in the corner of  her eye, she twisted her body around to see nothing. 

 "That was weird," thought Amy. She decided to shake it off and turn on her lamp. She rested her head on her pillow and waited to be called for dinner.

                          2 hours later

"Why hasn't mom called me yet, it's been 2 hours."  Amy muttered.

 Amy got up and headed toward her door. She opened it and caught a glimpse of blood on the carpet, she bolted out of the room and saw her mom lying on the ground bleeding. 

"Mom!" Cried Amy. She got on her knees and turned her mom over. She saw a huge scratch mark on her mom's chest, it was so deep she could probably see her mom's ribcage. Amy bolted up and ran to the phone, she instantly called 911.

             10 minutes later when the police arrived 

"Don't worry ma'am your mother is under control," said one of the policemen, "She's heading to the Hospital as we speak".

"T-Thank you for coming i-in t-time…." Amy said with a little sniff, it was bad enough that Amy's dad was out of town and the fact that he didn't know until she told him, either way he couldn't come home until next week.

"I need to go tell my father about what happened…" Amy said to the police officer.

Amy opened the door slowly and walked up the stairs. She walked over to her cell phone and called her dad.

"Hello?" Said Amy's dad

"Hi dad…" Said Amy with a sad tone, she really didn't know what to say to him, she still was sad, confused, of what just happened.

"Mom is in the Hospital right now...." Amy finally said.

For a few seconds her dad didn't answer, then her dad's voice came through the phone.

"What happened?" Said Amy's dad, he sounded worried and surprised at the same time.

"W-Well mom was lying on the floor when I came out of my room…" Said Amy, "I-I turned her over and then-then….." Amy started to cry.

"S-She had a s-scratch mark going down her c-chest!" Amy said sobbing, "S-She was so s-still I-I t-thought s-she might have d-died".

Her dad didn't say anything while Amy was crying, they sat there in silence for a few minutes until she heard her dad speak.

"A-Amy your mother is g-going to be alright, s-she will be okay..." Said Amy's dad, "She'll be alright..."

There was anger burning up inside Amy, "how could he think that," thought Amy, "how does he know mom will be alright!".

"I'm going to go dad I'm tired….." Amy said while the anger rose even more, "I really don't want to talk anymore….."

"Okay honey, be sure to call me back if your mother is doing alright" Amy's dad said, "See you next week, love you.."

"Love you too dad" Amy said as she hung up the phone. She walked into the kitchen and pulled out the pie her mother was making. 

10 days later

    "I'm really happy that your okay mom." Amy said.

"I'm happy as well." Said Amy's mom.

Amy didn't know how to put it, will mom be able to give her the answer she needs?

"Hey mom I was wondering if.... You knew what had happened to you when you got attacked?" Amy said 

Amy's mom was quiet for awhile, Amy thought she went to do something and didn't tell her.

Finally her mom said, ¨There's something I need to tell you....¨
