Chapter Nine : Know Thy Nemesis
SAUNDERS HOME
THE NEXT MORNING, Aiden and I are in his bedroom. I'm slowly pacing back and forth and Aiden is sitting on my ottoman.
"So, Amy wants you to embrace your inner darkness. But why? I don't get it." Aiden asked me.
I stops slowly pacing and looks at my boyfriend, Aiden. "I once told you that Amy and I have something simpler in common; Oak Valley. I have behavioral therapy."
"And so, Amy wants to turn your behavior into something darkish?" Aiden said.
"It's a psychological goal of hers, Aidy." I said.
"So, that's why Amy Tooney has been after you? She's been trying to get you to embrace your darkness." Aiden said.
"Even a Sweetheart has a darkness within them, Aiden." I said to him.
Aiden gently takes my hands and slowly pulls me to him, gently wraps his arms around my waist. "You're a good person, Angie. I know that. And the guys knows that."
Aiden and I exchange small smiles at each other and we kiss each other. He and I gently pulls away from the kiss and he gently pulls off his light jacket and short sleeve shirt, revealing his bare chest and his blue cobra tattoo on his right shoulder.
Aiden and I kisses each other, and I gently sits down in his lap, in a straddle position. He gently lays down on his bed and I gently leans atop of him.
But I stop kissing him and gently sits up straight, and gently sits down beside him on his bed.
"What?" Aiden said, sitting up straight.
"I would love to make out with you, but not right now, okay?" I said to him.
"Okay, Sure." Aiden said, putting back on his light jacket and short sleeve shirt.

Cassidy, Shane, Sharron, and I are sitting at round table with a notepad.
"Flatbread sandwiches, cheesecakes, cocktail drinks, and what else?" Cassidy asked.
"Hmm? The wedding cake. A normal wedding cake? Or a pretty wedding cake?" Cassidy asked.
Shane looks at his fiancée. "Sharron? What do you think?"
"Hmm? A pretty wedding cake." Sharron said with a small smile.
"Okay, my Mom and I will have it done." Cassidy said, putting her notepad in her pants pocket.
My phone buzzes in my pants pocket. I pulls out my phone and looks at it.
Amy Tooney
I answer my phone, getting up from the round lounge table. "Amy?"
"Hi, Angie. Meet me in the Woodland Woods. Come alone." Amy said on the phone, and hangs up her phone.
I glance at Shane, Sharron and Cassidy and slowly walks back over to them. "I'll see you around." and walks away.

WOODLAND WOODS
I slowly walks into the middle of the woods and sees Amy.
"What do you want, Amy?" I asked her.
"I get it. The Woodland Woods is spooky and creepy at night." Amy said.
"I know you just didn't phone call me into the Woodland Woods to chitchat. So, what the hell do you want, Amy?" I asked her.
"It would be pretty easy if you were to just embrace your darkness." Amy said.
"I'm not, Amy. So, just forget about it. And besides, it's been five years. So, just forget it." I said to her and walks away.
"Say "Congratulations" to Shane and Sharron for me." Amy said to me in her English accent.
Amy and I exchange looks at each other and walks away.

MINXES SPEAKEASY LOUNGE
That evening, the Saunders Gang and I are dressed up in medieval outfits for a formal dance.
Everyone is dancing together, exchanging smiles. The Saunders Gang and I dancing together. Aiden and I exchange smiles at each other. He twirls me around and gently pulls me to him.
"You look beautiful, Ang." Aiden said to me with a smile.
"Thanks, you're handsome yourself, Aidy." I said to him with a smile.
And a slow music comes on. And Aiden playfully smiles.
"Shall I have this dance, Shortcake?" Aiden asked me.
I do a playful curtsy with a playfully smile. "Of course you can."
Aiden and I exchange playfully smiles with each other. He gently wraps his arms around my waist and I gently wraps my arms around his neck as we begin to slow dance, along with everyone else.
As everyone slow dances with each other, the lights turns off, worrying everyone. And suddenly, the lights turns orange.
"What the hell?" Aiden said.
"Oh no." I said.
"Angie? What is it?" Aiden asked me, concerned.
I walks away, worrying him and the guys even more.
"Angie?" Aiden said, walking after me.
I slowly walks up to the round bar counter and with Aiden slowly walking up beside me.
"Angie? What's wrong?" Aiden asked me.
"She's here. I know she's here." I said to Aiden.
"You're saying that Amy's here?" Aiden asked me.
"Angie?" Amy Tooney said, making me look at her, and she's holding Zach at knifepoint. "If you want to rescue your bestie Zach, then, give me what I want."
"You let him go right now, or so, help me, I will do some damage to you, Amy." Yvonne said.
"How cute." Amy said, glancing at Yvonne, and looks at me again. "So, what's it gonna be Angie? Zach? Or what I want?"
"I love my best friends, you already know that, Amy. So, leave, you're ruining the formal dance." I tell her.
Amy smirks, mischievously naughtily, and uses her pocket knife to cut Zach's thigh, and slings him onto the carpet floor.
"Zach?" Yvonne said, she and Robyn walks up to him and crouches down to him.
Amy walks away. And I'm about to go after her, but Aiden stops me with a reassuring hand.
"It's not worth it, Angie." Aiden said.

The Saunders Gang and I had regrouped at the Tavern Bodge. I'm sitting on the U shaped sofa, gloomy spaced out.
"AngieCat? Are you okay?" Robyn asked me, worriedly.
"I'll be fine." I replied, and looks at my best friends and boyfriend, Aiden. "I'm sorry that Amy Tooney ruined the formal party mood."
"It's okay. We still had some fun." Zach said to me.
"This is all my fault. I really thought that my antagonistic quarrel with Amy will be done. But seems like Amy isn't done with me." I said.
"It's not your fault, Angie. Amy Tooney is a psychopath is just psychological toying with you. She wants to give in to your darkness. But just don't." Aiden said.
Angie (VO) Amy Tooney has been my antagonistic nemesis for a long while now. She's a nightmare.
