Ava-EverGreen Series Book Two

Chapter 3

That night, I was dreaming about Henry. Our last moments together. Except, the dream was a little bit different, Henry was a wolf in his place. I was woken up from the dream. What could the dream mean? Was Henry trying to tell me something? Not knowing the dream was foreshadowing something about me that was not ready to hear yet. I fell back to sleep soon after.

Waking up from the dream last night, it was confusing to describe to myself. Thinking back to some of our conversations between just Henry and I What was Henry trying to tell me something about himself or was warning me about something. From what though?

Looking at the clock, it read 6:30 AM, crap realizing I needed to get ready for school. Rushing through my routine and was out the door. I walked to school that day nor bother with driving. I made it on to school on time. Serena was running late as well. I will not tell her about my weird dream last night. Morning classes were flying by until the afternoon came until my last class.

It was Organic Chemistry, I had after English Literature. Which English was a story in all itself. I do not even want to talk about. Minding my business like nothing was happened until before the sirens came. Just before Ava and her classmates were in class, a guy decides to take his chocolate lab, Coco for a jog with him. They decided to use the trail behind the school right where the creek is. Coco was just sniffing along and got the scent of something not far from the banks of the creek. She went under the shrubs and started digging. Her own was calling to come back. She was not listening and kept digging. What do you know, she dug up a bone. Coco bought back the bone to her owner.

“What do you have there girl?” Beckons his dog forward.

His dog drops the bone. He got a closer look at the bone and it was a human bone. He knew he needed to call the police to let them know about the possible body nearby. He did just that. Grabbing Coco by the leash and made his way out of the trail back to their car to make the call.

Meanwhile, everyone is just there when the sirens start to whizz by passed the school to the woods. The teachers were telling the students to get away from the windows and pay attention. The police came into the school to talk to the principal about what was going on. No one knew what the police were talking to the principal about. Ava has a feeling it has something to do with Henry.

Looking out the window again, Ava saw CSI van pulling up behind the school. The police cards were still behind the school when school officially let out. Ava saw the expression on the principal’s face going by the office. It looked like bad news from my advantage point. Ava was waiting for Serena to get out of class. So, they can walk home together.

When I got home, my mother was not home I was able to do my homework in the living room for a change. I also turned on the news to find anything out about why the police were at the school this afternoon. Henry lives on my street. The news was not providing anything useful and decided to go on the porch instead. On the porch, I saw the police pull up to the Newman’s place. One of the cops knocked on the door. I saw Mrs. Newman come out. The cops took their hats to tell her the news. Mrs. Newman broke down in hysterical cries. She looked at me and nodded. The cops had to take her back inside to talk to her some more.

I went back inside to grab my phone and dialed Serena. She answered on the first ring.

“They found Henry and he is dead”I told her.

Serena dropped her phone on the ground and full out crying on the other end. I just hung up. I began crying myself. I did not notice how I had fallen asleep when my mother came home. She was standing in the doorway watching the news, which I had left on. Then looks over at my tear-stained face. All I can say, “They have found him.”

Maria buries me in a hug. She was not really the emotional type of person. She just allowed me to breakdown. We were like this when my father came home.

“What happened?” Kaleb asked.

“Kaleb, they found her missing friend this afternoon, “Maria replied.

Kaleb does not say anything which was weird. He walked into his man cave locked the door. Thinking about what he was going to do. If his wife and kids knew he broke the family code. Things were going to be hell for him.
