THE CATALYST

ARE YOU CRAZY? *

Amanda's p. o. v.
I rubbed my puffy eyes from all the crying and stood up from the floor.
Her body was still there but now lifeless and pale.
It was stupid of me and instead of relief only fear threatened to consume me.
Her eyes were open when she died and they spelt only anger and hate as they stared back at me.
I recollected my thoughts before picking her now heavy body and tossing it in the back of her Ford and literally driving the car into the lake where it would be lost and forgotten.
I then cleaned up and went to look for Suzie anyway the idea was hers to begin with.
I knocked at her door before her mom opened confusion evident on her face briefly before smiling.
"Suzie your friend's here, "she said before letting me in
I fidgeted for a while before I felt the couch sink beside me.
" I did it..., "I said in between sobs
" Did what? "Suzie said clearly confused
" I killed her like you told me to, " I said my sobs getting louder
" What are you talking about and who did you kill? " she asked scared and confused
" My mother, " I said almost in a whisper.
" What? "she said scrambling away from me.
" You told me to do it that I had to prove myself, " I said closing my eyes
" No... no no no Amanda I came back from a trip to the UK just today, " she says looking horrified.
" But...,"I start also frightened by the discovery, "You came yesterday at  night,"
"No i didn't. I want you out of my house right now Amanda,"she spat in my face.
I stood up feeling confused as i headed for the door before i saw the same wicked smile i had seen on Suzie but this time it wasn't her... it was her mother.
