1099 Words
“Amy, come on wake up... you know that I am scared of lighting and thunder or that is what people call it... come on Amy wake up already!” said Emily as Amy was sound asleep, but Amy woke up hearing a very familiar voice and the only question on her mind was ‘am I dead?’…
She opened her eyes and just besides her was a face she hasn’t seen in years, actually it was a face she didn’t think she would ever see again but looking at Emily she looked younger and innocent, there was no pain in her eyes like the last time she saw her.
“okay I am sorry I woke you up now stop staring at me like you have seen a ghost.” said Emily as she was reaching out for the lamp.
Now that it wasn’t dark Amy could see everything, she could see how youthful Emily looked and as she glanced around she found herself in her old room, she didn’t care what happened or how but she was happy to see Emily... She hugged her so hard thinking that all of this is just a dream.
“Hey, I cant breath Amy… now tell me why you gave me one of your bear hugs?” said Emily with the same warm smile.
Amy was just looking at Emily just in case the dream wasn’t going to last.
“Hey!” said Emily as she pinched Amy causing her to jump a little…
If she was dreaming she wouldn’t have felt that so what was going on?
She got off the bed and as she was walking to check where she was, she passed a mirror, something caught her eye, so she went back to check and staring back at her was a young Amy…
She looked around at her surrounding, the last thing she remembers is Charles killing her was this heaven or something?
She turned around and Amy glanced at her surprised at her weird behaviour.
“what year is it Emily?” she asked Emily who just laughed but judging from Amy’s expression she was right.
“It's 2018, now tell me what is going on?” said Emily but Amy knew that if she told her that she might have travelled back in time Emily would laugh at her…
“Nothing, I just had a nightmare that is all.” she said running towards Emily again, she didn’t know what happened but she was glad that Emily was here by her side again.
This time she won’t make the mistakes she made in her previous life, this time she is going to be by her side and support her in everything…
As she was hugging Emily something else dawned to her, if she indeed traveled back to the pastor she is in the past it means that her father is still alive, it means that her mother is also still sane…
She went running to her parents’ room, when she opened the door she saw her father and mother sleeping there peacefully, just looking at them all the memories of her previous life just came crashing back to her…
She vowed then and there that this time she won't lose any of her parents, as she was standing there she felt a little pain in her stomach, this was the spot where Charles shot her….
Then everything that happened before dying came back to her, her unborn baby, and Harley and Charles’s betrayal all came to her.
She checked the calendar and today was the day that her father told her about the Anderson brothers and the marriage alliance… Her last words were words of revenge and she was going to keep to her words, she was going to get her revenge on those two even if it’s the last thing she does…
After seeing that her parents were also there and they also looked so young, it confirmed her theory that somehow she has gone back in time, she has been given a second chance to make better choices and to get revenge, and this time she had something that her enemies didn’t and that is knowledge of the future.
They say that knowledge is power, imagine how powerful one can be when they know what the future holds, and what better way than to use that knowledge to make her last words come true? She was going to make Charles beg on his knees, he was going to beg for his life the same way she did and she won't spare him!
She went to the kitchen looked up recipes online and started cooking breakfast…
When her parents and Emily went downstairs they found her prepping the table.
“Honey, you didn’t have to cook, we have cooks for that and since when do you cook?” said her father, on hearing her father’s gentle and soft voice Amy went running into his arms…
“Hey, fine I mean he carried you for nine months so yes hug your father first.” said her mother faking a hurt expression, Amy stopped hugging her father and she hugged her mother.
When Donna heard her daughter crying she was surprised, “Hey hone why are you crying?” she asked looking at Amy in the eyes.
“I just missed you all so much.” Amy said hugging her mother again.
“Honey, you just saw us yesterday.” said her father.
“I know but it feels like a lifetime, I am cancelling all my plans for today and you should too… we are pending time together no excuses.” she said while sitting down…
Her parents looked at Emily who just shrugged, “I don’t know what is wrong with her, I also got the bear hug.” said Emily with her gentle smile.
“Honey, your father and I have something to tell you.” said her mother.
“Wow! Who made breakfast?” said a loud voice that belonged to Harley.
Amy froze in place, she forgot that Harley was living with them, seeing her made her want to strangle her then and there but she held herself together... Revenge is a dish best served cold.
“Honey, do you know the Anderson boys?” asked her father, Amy looked at her father with a sweet smile, this is what she wanted.
“No father, I know that there is a famous and rich family called the Andersons but I don’t know their boys.” she said lying through her teeth…
