His Mate's Sister

Chapter 6-Halloween Night

"Don't wait up" I heard Amy yell then I heard the front door close, I'm in the kitchen plating pizza for myself and Lori. Lori's on the front porch handing out candy, I take the plates and two glasses of wine out to the front porch. "Thank you" a couple of kids say as they run off the porch.

"They're so cute at that age" Lori says with a smile.

"Yeah" I agree as I hand her a plate and glass, "then they grow up to be like Amy" I laugh as I sit down in the rocking chair next to Lori. Lori looks at me then we both bust out laughing.

"So I heard from Mr. and Mrs. Marcello that Frank will be home for Christmas this year" she gives me a furrowed brow look as she took a sip of her wine.

"He told me" I took a bite of my pizza.

"Really? So when did you talk to him?" she looks at me curiously.

"He called me this morning when I was setting up for class" I took a sip of wine. "Don't look at me like that" I glared at her as she furrowed her brows.

"What look?" she tried to hide her smile, I crossed my arms and glared at her. "Oh come on" she sighed, "you know you two are meant for each other" she turned to greet more kids that came up on  the porch, she put a treat bag in each of their pails. "Thank you" they said as they walked off the porch.

"Look" I said sternly, "we're just friends" I glared at her. "Nothing more okay" I said with determination.

"Okay" she said in surrender, "what ever you say" she shrugged her shoulders. We sat on the porch until the last trick or treater came and left at around 9:30 pm, we went inside turning the porch light off then went into the kitchen to clean up. "Should we wait up for Amy?" she looked at me.

I looked at the clock on the wall to check the time, 11:45 pm. "She said not to wait up, but maybe give her til midnight and then we'll call her" I told her as I relaxed on the couch. Of course Amy didn't specify when she'd be home, but since our parents aren't here Lori and I have become like parents to her. Just as I was about to take a sip of wine our doorbell rang, Lori and I looked at each other curiously. 

"Who can that be at this hour?" Lori asked, we both got up off the couch and walked to the foyer. Lori grabbed her bat out of the umbrella holder in case of trouble, I looked through the peephole and saw two police officers.

"It's the cops" I turned to Lori, she put the bat down and I unlocked the door. "Good evening officers" I greeted them as I opened the door, "how can I help you?" I gestured them to enter the house. I knew one of them, Johnny Heeler, Lori and I went to school with him. 

"Lori, Emily" Johnny nodded to us with a sad look on his face. Johnny stands at 6'3 with sandy blonde hair, hazel eyes and sun kissed skin. "We need you to come to the emergency room with us" he told us, "Amy's been hurt" he lowered his head. I looked at them in shock, did he just say my baby sister got hurt and she's in the hospital. I couldn't move then Lori grabbed my hand, I looked at her with tears starting to form in my eyes. We got our purses and left following the police to the hospital.

As we entered the emergency room lobby fear finally kicked in, we went over to the front desk and told the receptionist our sister's name. A few minutes later the restricted doors opened and Sheila walked out wearing her nurses scrubs, Sheila stands at 5'3 with wavy brown hair and brown eyes with beautiful tanned skin.

"Lori, Emily" she came over to us wrapping her arms around us both.

"Sheila, what's going on?" Lori pulled away from her, Sheila pulled us aside to a quiet corner where no one could hear.

"A campus security guard found Amy unconscious behind the admissions building towards the parking lot" she told us. "The doctors are with her right now" she took our hands.

"Do they know what happened to her?" Lori asked scared and worried.

"She was bleeding between her legs when they brought her in" she said sadly, I covered my mouth with my hands and tears started flowing down my cheeks. Lori pulled me into her as we both started crying. 

"When can we see her?" Lori asked Sheila.

"I'll come get you when the doctors are done" she said, "you should call your parents" she then went back through the restricted doors.

Lori and I walked back to the seats we were sitting at before, "Sit here I'm going outside and call mom and dad" she told me as I sat down. Lori walked outside and I just sat there not moving, I don't know how long I was sitting there. I don't even remember Lori coming back in, sheila finally came back to take us to Amy.

"I'm going to warn you" she said as we walked through the hall, "she looks really bad. The guy really did a number on her" she stopped to look at us, "she's lucky to be alive" she told us then led us down the hall. We finally reached Amy's examination room, "She's being admitted for observation" Sheila told us before opening the door. We stepped into the room and saw Amy curled up on the bed clinging to the blanket, we slowly approached her and I gently ran my hand over her head .

She turned her head towards me, "Emily" she cried and grabbed a hold of my waist with her arms burying her head into my stomach. I wrap my arms around her and just hold, I looked at Lori who was looking over Amy's body doing an inventory of all the bruises and cuts on her delicate skin.

"I'm so sorry Amy" I whispered to her, she moves away from me and looks up at my tear filled face. "I should have gone with you" I stroke her cheeks, "please forgive me" I leaned my forehead against hers.

"It's not your fault" she sobbed, "I shouldn't of left the party by myself" she cried.

"Hush, don't say that" Lori told her.

Sheila stepped into the room, "I'm sorry but there's a cop that needs to ask Amy some questions" she said looking at Amy.

"Do you think you can answer some questions?" Lori asks Amy, Amy nods her head then Sheila went to get the cop. A moment later a short blonde haired lady cop walked into the room.

"My name is Erica Hart, I'm here to take your statement and ask a few questions" she took a seat next to Amy, Lori and I left the room to give them some privacy. Sheila came over to us and told us that as soon as the cop is done with Amy they will be moving her to a room in the main hospital.

"Only one of you can stay with her overnight" she told us, Lori agreed to go home and bring us back a change of clothes for Amy in the morning. I waited five minutes before the cop finished with Amy, after the cop left they moved Amy to another room. I stayed with her overnight so she wouldn't be scared, Sheila came into check on us before she went home.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got woken up by my phone ringing, I picked it up and saw that it was Sheila. I sighed before answering, "Sheila" I sighed. "Do you know what time it is?" I groaned.

"It's Amy" she said worriedly.

"What about Amy?" I asked sitting up in my bed.

"She was brought into the e.r tonight" she had to compose herself before continuing, "she was raped and beaten" she said sadly.

"Is she going to be okay?" I asked trying to remain calm.

"She'll be fine physically but emotionally is another matter" she told me.

"Were you able to get the bastard's scent off her clothes?" I asked in a whisper so not to wake Peter.

"I couldn't get a hold of her clothes before the police took them" she said, "I'll talk to Johnny in the morning" she promised.

"Keep me updated please" I told her before hanging up, "Damn it" I squeezed my phone in my hand but not hard enough to brake it. I wanted to throw it against the wall, I also wanted to punch someone. I should be there, this wouldn't have happened if I had been there. I sit on the edge of my bed my elbows on my knees and my hands covering my face, I look up and notice Peter sitting up in bed looking at me.

"Everything okay?" he asks me.

"My sister-in-law just called me with some bad news" I tell him.

"Oh, sorry man" he said sympathetically. "Did someone die or something?" he asks.

"Emily's little sister was hurt" I told him running my fingers through my hair.

"s**t man" he says in shock. "Is she going to be okay?" he asks concerned.

"I hope so" I tell him then I laid back down but couldn't go back to sleep, I laid there all night trying to keep from transforming and running home to track down the bastard. My alarm finally went off at 5:30 am, I grabbed my phone and hit the dismiss button. I sat up and rubbed my face with my hands, I looked over at Peter who was still snoring away. He's lucky cause his first class doesn't start until 9, I grab a change of clothes and my shower stuff and head to the dorm showers.
