Chapter 3

Amara's Point Of View,

I picked up her call instantly. I forget what happened as I was so happy already. I miss her so damn much. In the name of my family, she is the only one I have.

My best friend Sparkle was with me during all my good and bad times. Most of it bad times I can say.

"Hey, you have no idea how the hell I missed you bitch. When you are coming back". I know I sounded so excited and childish but I did not feel good without her and now it is been a month since she did not come back.

"Realx Amu, I am coming soon okay? Tell me how are you? I gulped hard. There is no way that I can tell her what happened and I am hell scared. She calls me Amu and I love it.

"I am okay, just missing you so damn much". I know I can tell her anything but there are some secrets and they will go with me to my grave. No soul can know about them.

"Amu, you do not sound happy. Tell me what happened. Did you have a bad dream again? She is so innocent God, I wish I could tell her why I get these types of terrible nightmares.

"Yeah, I just had one this morning. That is why I am missing you so much Sparkle, please come soon". The truth is I am scared to be alone after what happened today. And now Sam is also acting weird. I really need a real friend beside me right now.

"Oh God Amu, just do not worry okay? I will try to come soon", I know she wants to come soon but her mom also needs her and she feels alone because Sparkle wants to stay with me as her college and everything is here.

Sparkle's mom and dad live in a small town and they send her to the city for studies. Now Sparkle does not like to be there much but she does not want to make her parents upset too. This time her mom was not fine so she had to stay longer than usual.

As for me, I live in my parent's home. After their death, everything belonged to me. I had no idea that my dad already made his will even before I turned eighteen and that everything would transfer to my name automatically after his death but I did not know it would happen so soon. He has gone so

soon and I miss him so much.

"Yeah, I will wait for you. Now go and take care of your mom", I said as I know her mom would be calling her.

"Okay, good night, and be fine okay? I miss you", she said.

"Miss you more, kisses". I hung up and took a deep breath. I hate it when I lie to her. But it is for her good. She should stay away from the darkness.

I put my phone aside and tried to sleep. The moment I closed my eyes the picture of that board came in front of my eyes.

"Stay fucking away from him". I just could not stop thinking about it. Who the hell could send this to me? And that gunshot, why no one was talking about it? It is so fucking strange. I hired a security guard at my front door. I dialed his number and he picked up my call

instantly.

"Yes madam, what happened? He asked me.

"Amm hey John, why no one was talking about the gunshot", I asked him.

"Madam, because no one saw anyone firing it. People tried to find any clue but there was none. That is why no one called the police". I was kind of shocked. Someone fired a bullet but no one called the police.

"Do not worry madam. I am here. Everything is fine. You should sleep now". He assured me and I just took a deep breath in relief.

I know I can trust John as he is a friend of my dad and he treats me as a sister, so I know I am safe. I made myself comfortable and tried to sleep. It was hard to sleep but soon I fell asleep.

Next Morning-

I did not realize that I slept for so long. I opened my eyes and looked at the watch. It was past ten in the morning. God, something is really wrong with me.

I instantly got up and took a shower after brushing my teeth. I walked down and made my way to the kitchen. Martha already left. She made my breakfast and lunch too. I was about to sit and eat but the doorbell rang and I felt annoyed. I got up and went to open the door.

There was no one at the door. But a bouquet was there. My heart started beating so damn fast as I recalled what happened the last night.

I gulped hard and picked it and just then someone appeared in front of my eyes making me scared to death.

Who it could be???
