Chapter 5 Accused

• Amanda's POV
• “Elisa!” I screamed at the top of my voice and ran to her, falling to the floor as I carried her into my arms. “Elisa!” I yelled as I shook her body, but she didn't respond to me; instead, blood was gushing out of her head. My whole body shook with fear as the thought of her being dead enveloped me, but I shook my head, not wanting to believe it. Elisa can't be dead; it can't be.
• “Elisa, please wake up,” I pleaded with fear, but she was lifeless. Moving my gaze around, I saw a broken vase on the floor, which had the stain of Elisa's blood on it. “What happened?” I whispered in fear, wondering who must have done this and why.
