"No.....I am just tired"
"Are you sure?"
"Yess! Pretty sure and I need a break that's why I sent you off"
"Break?"
"Yeah.... For few days let's not see each other I need some time...... alone time"
"Ethan what are you saying? I mean I respect boundaries but..."
"I need a break from you!! YOU!! SAMANTHA"
"FINEE!! If you don't want to tell me what's wrong! Don't tell! I was just concerned that's why I called you Mr. Ethan but looks like you are pissed off of me for no reason so BYE!!
and she hangs up
_______________________________________________________________
Sorry Samantha but I have to take care of myself and you too if I am going crazy I may anytime attack on you and that would be unbearable for me if something is wrong with you...
Sorry but I have to use brain in order to save heart
As of now the best is I forgot about everything and distract myself maybe I should just go to Emily's house, already I am getting crazy within these four walls because all I can think of is black figure....disappeared wounds.... the girl..... He thought as he wore his watch looking for the last time in the mirror
_______________________________________________________________________
"Hey! You? here?" Emily opened the door and asked immediately
"Ya...I was just...passing by so thought of meeting you...are you busy?"
"No....come in.."
"Glad you are here, I was pretty bored....."
He looked a little uncomfortable to her but it has been months since he came here maybe that's why she assumed
"Emily....Did Sam tell you something?
"What?" She asked not expecting this question from him
"No I mean..... as in general"
"Well, she tells me a lot of things but I don't think I am going to reveal our secrets to her boyfriend" she said raising her eyebrows
"Yeah...obviously"
"You know its been days since we talked good to see you here" she said giving a pleasant smile
"Yeah! I am missing the old days remember the when we all went on picnic and a bucket got stuck on Jaden's head" he laughed
"Yeah! And then you and Samantha did every possible thing to get it out...and after one hour of hard work you guys finally succeeded"
After days they laughed naturally like kids ... genuinely.
"Oh wait I'll get something for you to eat...." She stated and went to kitchen
He felt light after remising some good old normal days, It gave him peace people say it right, talking to someone really helps when you are worried about something.....but his peace was for only a mere second when he spotted the same little innocent face with smirking eyes, broken head, staring at him from the stairs with a crooked smile.
Without waiting for another second he ran like a hunter behind a dear..... not realizing that he now was standing in Emily's room where again there was no trace of the girl. But to his surprise there was a huge board on the side wall having pictures of three dead bodies and most of the possible info
"Ethan? You here?" Emily entered with a tray in her hands
"I am really sorry I shouldn't be here without the permission"
"Uhmm...its okay"
He sighted to the board with a muddled expression making Emily realize he saw it
"Uhh...yaa..actually me and Eric were trying to figure out who killed Mr. Stevenson, our school cleaner and also about these two another bodies...please don't tell this to anyone I hope you understand..."
"No...obviously I won't ..."after staring at the board for a few sec
"Can I help you in this...like I just want to help you guys in this...." He said still not leaving the sight of it
Emily stares being astounded
~Eric's place~
Eric glanced blankly at the plate and played with the fork looking like a three year old
"What happened? Let's have dinner" his Mom came wiping her hands from the towel
"I was just waiting for dad to come...."
"He might be late.....he has got a lot of work after those two bodies were found mysteriously...." she said serving food to him
Eric acted his best not to look interested in this topic but seemed a lil restless knowing he very much knows the details about this
He hated his father's profession as a detective not only was it dangerous for himself but his family would also be in danger.....coming late in the night, not taking enough time for his family... always caused fights between him and his mother until she finally accepted this and decided to give all her time to her son
She was his best friend and knew everything from the girl he liked to the people he hated the most she would notice the slightest change in him, that's why it was hard to keep this all a secret...but having father's detective genes he knew how to lay low....

A night as dark as a stack of black cats
A girl looked in the eyes of fear
Sprinkled salt around her and lighted the three candles making that the only source of the light
As she slowly chanted the spell
The three candles flickered and blew off......
