I really want to talk to him. Amy was restless. Nancy got into my head. Amy kept moving here and there.
"Hey, Amy, settle down.", Terry said.
"Yes, Amy, is anything wrong?", Steve asked her.
"I..I wanted to talk to you. A..alone.", Amy blurted out. Now, why did I say that?
Steve stood up and they went in the corner of the room.
"Actually. A little more private.", Amy said. Scared.
Steve took Amy's hand and they entered a small room at the back side of the main hall.
The room was dark, conjusted and full of cans. It's the pantry, I guess.
"So?..", Steve said.
"Steve, what I wanted to say was..was..", Amy could barely finish her sentence.
"I like you. I really do. I wanted to talk to you, since so long. I just couldn't.", Steve blurted out.
Wow.
"That was exactly what I wan.." Before Amy could finish her sentence, Steve took her up her feet and kissed her. His lips felt cold on hers. Wow. This is amazing. My first kiss.

Amy was blushing when she entered the hall. She looked around the room and saw Nancy. She was smiling. She got up.
"Amy, can you come upstairs with me?", she asked.
"Why?", Amy said.
"I left my rucksack up there. Just come."
Amy and Nancy climbed upstairs and they entered  a room.
"So? How did it go?" Nancy squealed.
We kissed. That's what happened. Can we get over it now?
"Nothing much.", Amy lied.
"No. No. No. Details. Now."
"We kissed. Not a big deal."
"Oh my god!", Nancy squealed again. Both of them started laughing.
"Nance, can I ask you a question?", Amy asked.
"Yes. Shoot.", Nancy said.
"How did you change in a week? I mean, your clothes and everything."
"It's because of my mom. Ever since my sister disappeared. My mom forces me to dress like a boy. She thinks my sister eloped." Nancy had tears in her eyes.
"I remember her. I'm so sorry. She was so beautiful.", Amy hugged Nancy.
Nancy's sister. She just disappeared. I wonder where she went.
After the crying, Amy and Nancy went downstairs.
"Cassie is really pissed, isn't she?", Amy said.
"Oh yeah. I feel sorry for Idax.", Nancy said.
Steve was standing at the edge of the staircase.
"I was just waiting for you too. We are going down the cellar. Let's go."
Suddenly a loud scream made them jump.
"TRISHA!", the three exclaimed and ran downstairs. They entered the cellar. Amy screamed.
Oh- Ida-he's dead.
The body of Idax was lying there. Decapitated. His head hacked open like a nut.
