    About this ebook

    Amy and Eric are the perfect couple. Popular, good-looking, happy. But after they are seen quarreling at a party, Amy disappears and Eric is the number-one suspect. Amy wakes up alone in a windowless, all-white room. She has no idea how she got there, or who put her there. All she knows is that she has to get out. Eric wakes up to news of Amy's disappearance—and a visit from the police. All he knows is that he didn't do it, and that he has to find Amy.

    As Amy tries to figure out a way to escape, she must also follow the instructions in a bizarre letter from her kidnapper. And as Eric tries to figure out where Amy is and who took her, he discovers that the past has a way of coming back and biting you in the butt.

    Told in alternating voices—first Amy's, then Eric's— Deadly is a fast-paced story about love, hate, courage, tenacity, forgiveness—and the many uses of a toilet rod.

      Acknowledgments

      Chapter One

      Amy

      I wake up in a white room. Not my room, which is the color of a robin’s egg. Not Eric’s room, which is navy blue (his mom said no to black) and smells like teenage boy. You know— sweat and junk food and unwashed sheets and other nasty stuff. I don’t go there a lot. Eric says he likes my house better anyway. My mom often works late, the sheets are clean, there’s always food in the fridge, and my older sister, Beth, is cool. My name is Amy. Our mother named us after the two youngest sisters in Little Women. To say my mother is a bookworm is an understatement. At least I wasn’t named after the sister who dies.

      I squint around the white room and wonder if I am in a hospital. But it’s too quiet. I’ve been in the ER enough times in my sixteen years to know that it sounds like pain and smells like fear. All I hear in the white room is a faint hum. And the room smells like... nothing. No leftover cooking smells, no stale perfume, no wilting flowers. Nothing. I duck my head under the white duvet and inhale deeply. Familiar smells—cucumber body wash, lavender shampoo, a whiff of Mom’s rose-scented lotion. She’s a hugger. I think I can detect a hint of Eric’s deodorant. He’s a hugger too. I smile under the covers. Mom and Eric, both rubbing off on me. In totally different ways.

      Why am I smiling? I don’t know where I am, and I have a massive headache. I can’t be hung over. I don’t drink that much. Not anymore. Not since Beth’s accident.

      The bed I am lying in is very comfortable. If I wasn’t starting to feel kind of freaked out, I’d roll over and go back to sleep in my white cocoon. I’m so tired. I stick my head out from under the covers and look around again, trying to focus, but everything is a bit blurry. When I try to sit up, a wave of nausea knocks me down. I stare at the ceiling for a while. Maybe for a minute. Maybe for an hour. It’s hard to tell. My mouth is so dry. I turn my head and notice a bottle of water on a small table beside the bed. Very slowly, I reach out for it and prop myself up enough to drink. It takes all my strength to open the bottle. The first sip is so delicious. I tip the bottle back and chug as much as I can, as fast as I can. A lot of it goes down my chin and neck and onto my chest. I don’t care. Nothing has ever tasted this good. For a minute anyway.

      The nausea roars back, and I know I’m going to puke. I stand up and am almost flattened by a tsunami of dizziness. I steady myself against the white wall and feel my way along it until I reach a doorway. A doorway to what turns out to be a small white bathroom. I stagger over to the toilet and retch violently. When I am done, I pull some white towels off a rack, make a nest
