Chapter Five: The Mystery Behind Sarah

Arriving home from school, Sarah walked inside her house and noticed that her parents were off once again at another school broad meeting, to leave their daughter Sarah home alone; or she think she is…

"Sarah is that you? Sorry I forgot to tell you that I was home." Said Sarah's little brother Jayson.

"Did you go to school like you were supposed to do today?" Sarah said towards her brother.

"Nah I had the day off, due to some bomb scare at the school; which happened to be false." Jayson laughed as he came running downstairs.

"I'm guessing you were behind that false bomb scare, to get out of school today Jay. Ugh mom's going to kill you." Sarah announced towards Jay. She walked into her room and called Tara.

"Hello, hey Sarah what's up? Did anything happen to you today during your judgement with Ms. Chambers?"

"Nope, I got off very easily, BC I did nothing wrong. I was the one that got attacked by that little brat Amber, I only defended myself."

"Damn girl, you got it good in that school. What is your secret for not getting into trouble with the supervisors?"

"Let's just say that I have everyone around my little finger. Have you heard from Jackson? He hasn't called me since Monday?"

"Nah I haven't, he's been M.I.A for like this week. Idk about you Sarah, but I think it has something to do something with that Amber girl. You think that he's been following her?

"He better not has gone with that little brat, if I find out that he's with her; there won't be no one stopping me this time. Hang on Tara I got another call."

After Sarah got off the phone with Tara, Jackson called her.

"Where the hell have you been Jackson? I was getting worried"

'You are getting worried Sarah, I had business to take care of'

"Like what sort of business Jackson?"

'Why should I tell you?'

"Wrong answer Jackson"

(Jackson voice started to crack)

'Sarah stop it, don't do this; let me go, I'm begging you.'

(Jackson returned to regular breathing)

'I hate when you do that to me through the phone like that'

"Well now you know better next time to never backtalk towards me Jackson. One other thing Jackson you better not hiding anything from me, or I'll squeeze every waking breath out of your body. Understand."

'Yeah I understand.'

The next day, all the students were called into the gymnasium for an assembly by the principal of the school, Principal S. Walker. Everyone sat in their rightful sections as the supervisors approached the center of the gym.

"Please rise for you Principal of WBG high school, Mr. S. Walker. Mr. S. Walker is one of the toughest S.O.B principals in the whole tri-county school district. Former war Sargent, and ex bodyguard for the president of the United States of America.

As the principal approached the microphone, Samantha noticed that Amber wasn't with the rest of the freshman, she knew deep down that Ms. Chambers banned her for life from all the actions that she did.

"Good morning students of WBG high school, I'm your principal and leader, Samuel Walker. The reason why you are all called in here today, because we are under attack by unknown forces, and they took one of our student's hostage. We don't know what this person wants with this student, but we are sending out a Red Alert to whoever finds this student."

Mr. S. Walker shows a picture of Amber Banks, with a WANTED posted. This caught everyone's attention in the freshman section.

"If anyone has seen Ms. Banks, return her in one piece so she can receive her judgement."

As Mr. S. Walker finished his speech, Ms. Chambers walked up to the mic stand.

"This Red Alert is on the freshman class only, the rest of the student class section are free to go, instead of two students from the senior class. Ms. McMullen and her friend Ms. Johnson, you two remain here with the freshman class." Ms. Chambers said as she walked away from the mic.

As the other students left the gym, the freshman class and two senior students should before Ms. Chambers and the principal.

"Ms. Chambers, do you really need to put all the freshman class on Red Alert? We just need the following students that were with the wanted student." Announced Walker.

"True sir, we don't need these students. Alright listen up, the following students from the freshman class are to stay here in the gym; while the rest of you may leave. Can I have: Samantha, Aston and Kim from the freshman class? The rest may exit the gym quietly." Said Ms. Chambers.

The three freshman students walked up to the center of the gym in where Sarah and Tara were standing. Sam looked at Sarah and had a feeling that she knows where Amber is.

"The reason why I called you five towards the center of the gym, because you all had your share of interactions with the wanted student Amber Banks. We want you all to go out searching for her and bring her here to face her judgement.

Amber arrived back home, and saw that Travis was outside with Krystal; as they played on the porch.

"Hi Amber, your home early. Did the mean old freshman lady kick you out of school?" Travis asked his sister.

"Nah she couldn't see me today, something came up. Travis did mom or dad come home, and asked where I was?" Amber asked.

"Nope, but someone did call and left a message on the answering machine. I think it was your friend Samantha."

Amber rushed passed Travis and Krystal and slammed the front door shut. She walked over to the machine and pressed play.

Amber, it's me Sam. Ms. Chambers and the principal are looking for you. They want to finish the job by giving you your judgement. Me, Aston and Kim with the two senior divas Sarah and Tara have been assigned to find you and bring you back here to the school. I shouldn't be talking to you right now, but I won't tell those seniors where you are, we will keep you safe. You can thank me later. Bye for now.

Amber snaked down towards the floor and started to cry. She knew for a fact that Ms. Patterson won't stop until she gets what she wants. Travis and Krystal opened the door slowly to see if Amber is okay.

"Sis are you alright?" asked Travis.

"Travis, I need you to take Krystal to your room, and if you start to hear any noise whatsoever; promise me that you won't come out. Got that." Said Amber in an emotional voice.

"I promise Amber, be safe." Travis said as he and Krystal walked up towards the bedroom and closed the door behind them. Amber got up from the floor and walked outside and went towards the park for the final encounter.

Sarah and Tara entered the Winston Park to see if Amber would be hiding inside the park, but little did Sarah and Tara know that Amber have just entered through the back entrance of the park.

"Sarah are you sure that this girl is here in? I mean it would be pretty stupid for her to show up right about now." Tara said as she sat down on the park table.

"Oh, I know she's here somewhere in this park, and when I find her; she's going to be thrown inside of that punishment room for the rest of her life." Said Sarah as she started to search for Amber.

Amber entered the park and knew exactly where to go; she was heading towards the water fountain to call out Sarah. Amber started to feel a cold breeze floating right passed her.

"Mikel leave now, this is between me and Sarah." Shouted Amber as she stood on top of the fountain; preparing to call Sarah out.

"Amber you can't, it's too dangerous." Mikel said to Amber.

"Your hiding something from me Mikel, you know Sarah, do you? You lied to me! You told me that you didn't know anything about her. Tell me, how do you know Sarah?" Amber's voice started to get louder as she shouted towards Mikel.

"Amber trust me, leave now before it's too late…

(Amber cuts Mikel off in mid-sentence) I'm done trusting you Mikel. Sarah come on out! I know you're here to bring me back to the school, so Ms. Chambers can bring forth her judgement onto me."

"Ha I knew that little bitch was here, she's that eager to die." Sarah said as she followed Amber's voice.

Tara didn't know what got into Sarah and why she wanted to kill Amber.

"Sarah what has gotten into you lately? I think Amber has learned her lesson…

(Tara started to choke) Sarah what are you? Let me go!!" as Tara pleased for her life, Sarah sucked Tara's life from her body.

"Nobody tells me what to do." Sarah walked over towards the lifeless body of her former best friend Tara and tossed her away like she was yesterday's trash. "Now it's time to finish the job."

Amber started to hear noises from behind her, quickly she turned and there stood Sarah the plastic senior class bitch in the whole school district. Amber looked at Sarah and noticed something completely different about her, she couldn't put her finger on it.

"Sarah, you look like a mess. Where's your little shadow Tara?" asked Amber.

"Oh, poor little Tara had to go away, she was too afraid of the dark. What a little scaredy-cat she was." As Sarah laughed, Amber walked closer towards Sarah, and noticed that there were blood stains on her clothes.

"What happens Sarah? Where's Tara!" shouted Amber.

"Oh her, she was in the way, and was taken care of." Sarah said as she started to laugh again.

"You killed her? You killed your best-friend? How could you?"

"Like I said Amber she was in the way; she didn't want any part in this search party to bring you in. She felt you did nothing wrong, so yes Amber I killed her and I'm going to do the same thing to you." Laughed Sarah as her eyes started to glow bright red like blood.

Amber fell backwards onto the ground and sat in fear as Sarah changed into this wicked winged creature. Mikel flew right in front of Amber and drew his sword towards Sarah.

"I'm not going to let you lay a single finger upon her, you wicked succubus! Leave this place now, or face judgement!" Mikel shouted towards Sarah.

"Who are you supposed to be you winged freak? Amber's little protector? Let the girl defend herself." Sarah said as she placed her hand onto Mikel's face.

"You know something winged boy? You look just like my boyfriend Jackson." Said Sarah.

"I don't know who this Jackson fellow is, your demon." Shouted Mikel as he flew backwards with Amber.

"Amber get out of here…"

(Mikel screamed; Sarah threw a whip that was covered in thorns.)

"Oh, you don't, she's mine!"

Amber got up and ran towards the gates of the park entrance but noticed that the gate was locked. She was trapped inside the park with Sarah with nowhere to run or hide.

"Please Sarah, just take me to Ms. Chambers. I'm tired of running. I'm ready to face my judgement." Amber said with tears coming down her eyes.

"I'm not going to bring you to that dictator of a supervisor my dear, I'm going to bring the judgement on to you; right here, right now! Say your prayers you little bitch." Amber screamed as Sarah reached her neck and started to suck her life away.

"No, Amber! Sarah take me instead."

Sarah turned around and dropped Amber onto the ground, to see standing right before her was Jackson as Amber's winged guardian. Amber rolled around towards the pathway, as her eyes saw that her protector was Jackson all along.

"Jackson you are fucking cheater! How could you go behind my back and protect this little freshman, now you're going to die for this!"

Sarah started to run towards Jackson, as Amber got up from the ground and shouted at Jackson to get out of the way, but he didn't move.

"Prepare to die Jackson…"

(A loud shout echoes passed Sarah's body)

Suddenly, Sarah's breath began to escape her from the intense sound wave. She looked at Amber, "Ugh. what did you do?"

(Sarah falls to the ground).

Amber slowly got up the ground, in a weaken breath

"What did I do?"

(Amber passed out).

---Couple of weeks later---

Amber opened her eyes and noticed that she wasn't sleeping in her room. She woke up inside of a broken-down cabin in the backwoods of the town, as she got up from the bed; there was a note left there with her name on it.

"I'll explain everything to you; you probably have tons of questions to ask me Amber and I'll answer them all. I'll see you outside by the gazebo."

Jackson.

Amber walked downstairs, and saw Jackson standing outside by the gazebo, waiting for her to come out and for him to explain everything to her.
