Amethyst POV
Official. Morpheus and I are officially together and it's the talk of the school. Thankfully I don't have any Morpheus fan girls trying to kill me. As for Jess she's hasn't been in school since the whole car incident thing two weeks ago, not that I'm complaining. With midterms finished it was the start of football season so for Morpheus it's been none stop training. He also has to focus on his studies to stay captain of the team.
It's almost the end of the term and there's going to be a big game against our biggest rivals this coming Saturday. Westbrook High aka the Beavers against our East Wood High Wolves.
I've been letting him have his space but I'm there when he needs me. He's already told me that I have to come to the game and wear his jersey, even though I don't know s**t about football. I'm his good luck charm, his words not mine. He's practicing right now actually. He has me sitting on the bleachers watching him, but it’s cool because my squad is here.
"Tell me why the hell we're watching boys get hot and sweating again, not that I'm complaining" Rosemary asked and I tilted my sunglasses down staring at her.
"Morpheus asked me to watch him practice for the game. You guys volunteered to come, plus Roman is on the team to so Alexis and I would’ve been here anyways. You probably would’ve ended up right here" I answered, blowing a bubble with my gum only for Alexis to pop it.
"Meanie"
"Go Roman and Morpheus!" Chad stood up pumping his fist in the air and we laughed.
"Sit your black ass down Chad" Rose pulled him down by his shirt and he sat down.
Oh right I forgot to tell you.
Chad and Rosemary have been together since freshman year and so has Alexis and Roman. You would think that I'd feel like a fifth wheel, but they’re both that best friend kind of couple. No one really knows that they’re together and they don't appreciate PDA. Alexis is never mad at me for the whole extremely close to Roman thing. She knows Roman is my big brother, nothing more nothing less.
The cheerleaders were practicing to, in their booty shorts and sport bras, chanting some cheer ending with Go Wolves!
"Remember when Alexis tried out for the cheer squad last year” we all snicker looking at her red face.
"It's not my fault guys! I didn't know my pants were going to rip! I tried really hard I made that cheer up myself"! She defended herself, laughing at the end.
Last year Alexis tried out for the cheer team. She made up a whole chant and was doing the robot and the whip and nae nae while she said it, then at the very end, when you thought it couldn't get any worse she split, not very well though.
She ripped her shorts straight down the middle, letting everyone she her strawberry shortcake undies. She couldn't get up so Roman and I had to lift her up and carry her off the floor and out of the gym. It was the talk of the school for weeks and she claims she still has friction burn.
"Wolves oh Wolves! They are the best putting their opponents to the test! With the strength and the sexy ass guys on the team! You know the wolves cannot be beat! Go Wolves!" Alexis stood on the seat, re-enacting her cheer from that day waving her imaginary pom poms and twerking, doing hip thrust but mostly twerking.
All of us were in our own little world so we got up there dancing with her and chanting to.
Alexis was twerking, I was milly rocking, Chad was milly rocking and Rosemary was hitting the folks. Roman was furiously dabbing on the field.
We were so into it that we walked down the bleachers onto the track chanting it.
When we were done Rosemary spilt and I ran up the track doing a flip simply because I'm extra landing on the ball of my feet.
"Go Wolves!" The squad had shouted before we all burst out laughing.
"What the f**k is wrong with us?!" Roman shouted from the field still dabbing.
"We don't know" we shouted in unison, high fiving each other when we looked at our surroundings we saw that everyone was looking at us.
We all looked at each snickering.
"Thank you and good day we'll be here all evening" Chad bowed as we retook our seats.
The cheerleader looked at us with scowls and Rosemary shoot them the bird.
I couldn't wait for the game tomorrow Morpheus is really excited for me to be there and I have to support my boy Roman of course. Time flew by and eventually it was the end of school. No teachers were teaching because of the big game tomorrow. Everyone wanted to stay back and I was for it but my phone vibrated in my pocket and I saw I got a text.
Unknown: Amethyst come home! Please!
My mom sometimes text me from her work phone and it comes up unknown. Worry filled my system and I cursed, grabbing my stuff quickly, running down the bleachers. I could hear them shouting behind me, to come back but I was too focused on getting home to make sure my mom was alright. My mom was my everything, she was definitely more important at the moment.
I ran down the sidewalk like a mad woman, running up my front steps, fumbling with my keys.
“Mama!” I shouted into the house in panic but got no response. I dashed up the stairs, checking her bedroom, her study and the washroom but she was nowhere to be seen. Great! I had been duped by my mom.
I chuckled to myself, turning on my heels deciding that I’d just go back to school and hang with the guys again but to my shock there was this huge guy standing in the doorway of the washroom, when I say huge I mean huge. Standing at maybe seven feet, his body covered in tattoos. He had a devilish smile on his face.
"Hello Amethyst" he taunted and I screamed blood murder, grabbing the first thing I put my hand on. I picked up the bottle of detergent, chucking it at his head. He cursed in agony, stumbling back, giving me the perfect chance to shove him out of the way and sprint for my life. I tramped up the stairs, entering my bedroom before slamming and locking the door behind me, grabbing my phone in shaky hands.
I called 911.
"911 What is your emergency?" The operator asked me and I burst into tears.
"There's a man in my house he's trying to get me I do-” my door flew right off its hinges, and he stood there with glowing red eyes and pointed canine teeth.
In a flash he was next to me. He grabbed my arm harshly and I screamed dropping my phone.
"Help! Help me please!" I begged as he literally threw me down the stairs. Pain shot up my spine, through my shoulder and my head banged against the hardwood floor making me cry harder. I could hear his footstep coming down the staircase as I attempted to crawl away to the door, but he grabbed my leg pulling me back, happy laughter escaping his mouth.
He yanked my arm, forcing me up to his height and I banged and clawed on his chest, screaming but he pushed me up against the wall, pinning my arms above my head. Suddenly it was like an imaginary force was controlling me and I involuntarily stopped screaming. No matter how much I tried I couldn't let out a sound. I tilted my head to the side, even though every bone and nerve in my body was telling me not to, exposing my neck. He snuggled his head there and I felt him take a deep breath in, tears flowed down my cheeks and my heart hammered against my chest.
"Just one taste" I heard him mutter before something sharp pierced my skin.
I finally let out a scream, but his colossal hand covered my mouth muffling it.
I could hear him gulping, his grip on me tightened and I felt something wet run down my neck. My vision blurred in and out and the ground swayed underneath me. My limps felt heavy, it felt like he was sucking the life out of me. He pulled away from me, his lips coated with red and I dropped to the floor, slumping against the wall
"Good night Amethyst, sweet dreams" he stooped down, tucking a strand of my hair behind me ear before everything went black.
