Suddenly I find her dancing in the crowd. She is alone. looks like she is finding some one. Suddenly a girl approach her. I look closely at her but I can only see her red hair. I push other people and went Little closer to them.But no use I can't see what exactly they are

I giggle mentally. I am very naughty person I know. Lets see what she will do if. She  suddenly start moving towards us. I look at the dean who is dancing. I look at Rowena who is standing beside us. She grab my hand pulling me away from dean. Deanlook at her with no emotions.

"You are bitch. "She glare.

"Yeah I am what is your problem. "I reply with smirk.

"Leave her grace. She don't worth anything . " dean pull me away from Rowena.

Rowena didn't look pleased by his movement. She took glass of wine from near by immediately throwing at me but dean stand up between us . Rowena emptying all the juice on deans t shirt. Rowena look at him in horror, truthfully me too. She try to clear it but dean push her away. I grab dean's wrist pulling away him from Rowena to the nearby room so he can clean himself.

"I am sorry about her. "Dean apologize looking at me softely.

"That's okay dean . It was not your fault anyway. " I reply to him smiling.

He nods. I grab tissue paper and help him to clean up but his whole shirt is wet. He remove his jacket. then his shirt. I look away blushing.

"Umm.. Sorry. I forgot. " I reply standing up.

I throw tissue away into the dustbin. Then I drag my feet and left the room. I can hear his chuckle behind me. I close my door sighing heavily. That was so embrassing. I sigh and pull myself together to find my lovely brother. Instantly I find him with his friends. I approach him asking him to leave the place. He nod and ask me to wait outside, I nod and stood outside waiting for him.

I look at the sky its beautiful. The stars are shining. The cold wind is flowing through the silent sky making me to shiver. I rub my hands together. The leaves are making silent voices.

Suddenly I feel someone's stare on me. I didn't look back in the case I don't want them to know that I can feel every movement of the person behind me. I stop at my place. I didn't even bring my bag with me. Ok time to face the destiny. I look back only to find Rowena . She don't look in good mood.

"What do you want? "I ask.

"This is all your fault. "She speak while tears start dripping through her eyes.

I raise my eyebrow at her. She took out something from her back pocket. I look closely to find a knife. Oh crap. That was bad drama.

"What the hell. " I ask.

"You already know that it was me right. " she ask me.

"Of course. " I reply.

"Don't worry this game is big than you think. " she smirk through her tears.

She come towards me using her knife she attack toward me. I doge and punch her nose so hard. It start bleeding. She look at me angrily. Huh? There is someone behind me. I can feel it. Before I can look back my nose gets cover by something  making me  feel nauseous. I look back to find the boy before I can register a thing I fell into deep darkness. It was bad idea, a very bad idea.

I open my eyes feeling cold water on my face. The cold water drops from my face, wetting my hair. I still can't see anything properly. Shutting my eyes I open it again. My eyes stare at Rowena who look at me sadly. Then my eyes land on the girl beside her. Evelyn. Shit what she is doing here. She will die if she. She is still sleeping. Oh my god. I have to do something. I try to move but no use she tied me on the chair.

"Psycho. "I reply rolling my eyes. "Why the hell you want to kill Evelyn. " I ask.

"She was bitch. I want my dean . She was the main problem but now you are problem too. "She spit out every word.

"And why is that? "I ask.

"Don't you see how he see you. Even he let you to be with him and not to other girls. " she explain me.

"Yeah that's true but I don't have a any feelings for him. "I reply with shrug.

"Damm girl. I will kill both of you and no one will ever know. "She smiles evily.

"Yeah but I think Evelyn is dead." I ask.

"I know but what if she will wake up. I will kill her. "She reply.

Damm. I have to do something. I remember the training given to me. I can easily slip out from this chair. I loosen my hands and legs. I did as I was trained. Rowena took out the knife ready to kill the Evelyn. I slip out from the chair grabbing her hands I twist it. She gron in pain. I take the movement I punch her causing her to fall down. She grab her face wincing in pain. I quickly untie Evelyn. How I am going to take her with me. Phone?

I look around finding phone of Rowena. I quickly dial emergency number for Evelyn then quickly dialing police. I try to call brother but Rowena attack me again I quickly doge it. I look at the phone she took it and throw it far away so I can't reach it. I gritted my teeth angrily. She pull out baseball hate swaying it angrily I try to doge it but it hit me two times on the stomach. I gron in pain falling on the ground. She raise baseball bat ready to hit me. I look at her, nothing came to my mind. I breath heavily.

Shit. Shit. I was so near. Rowena sway bat but before it can hit me,  She fall on ground clutching her head. Blood strat flowing through her head. She look at her hand only to find blood on it. I look up only to find Evelyn, she have a wood log on her hand. She look at Rowena and then again to me. She smile and fall down on the ground. I look at her in shock. Quickly getting up I help her to stand up again. She stood up taking my support.

"Are you okay? " I ask. She nod her head. "I thought you are in comma. "

"She made me drink something so I can't wake up again. But I think she didn't give me that medicine from few days.  "She smile.

"We are safe. "I state. She chuckles.

"Let's go. "She reply.

I smile and help her to walk. Suddenly I smell something. Looking back I find fire. Oh no. Evelyn look at me in pure horror. I look at Rowena who looks unconscious. I quickly run to help her, Evelyn also come towards me to help her. We both stand her up like a doll. Taking her outside. Once we reach there we can hear sirens of police and ambulance. But no one is hurt. Nurse come towards us helping Rowena. We can even hear the crowd of people gossiping.

Suddenly my eyes land on Lorenzo, dahlia, Ashton  and dean, They look at me with shock. Lorenzo talk with police after taking permission he run towards me. I quickly hug him. He tighten the hug, rubbing my back to calm me down. Pulling away he kiss  my forehead. He pull me on his chest again. I close my eyes feeling his warmth.

"I was so worried, baby. "He says softly.

"I am sorry, grace. I shouldn't leave you alone. "Dahlia apologize.

"That was not your fault dhal. "I assure her.

Police call me and Evelyn for asking us questions. I explain them everything. They took our words. With that we left to our home. Lorenzo give me a very long lecture. I just complain him. And dahlia along with Ashton laugh on us. Dean look at me with smile. While Evelyn was send to hospital. Finally I did it.

Currently we are in our home. Lorenzo is glaring at me while I am complaining about his dinner. He never cook good food therefore I don't like to eat his food. I took pizza and throw it on him, he easily doge it and throw it on me. I took lots of food throwing at him while he did same with me. Within the minutes the whole kitchen turn into mess. Lorenzo slip due to pizza and fall down. I laugh so hard that I even fall down. Lorenzo also start laughing. I glare but eventually start laughing with him. Suddenly we hear someone clearing their throat. We look back to find dean , dhalia, Ashton and Evelyn. Lorenzo stood up grabbing me. I stood up and follow them in living room.

"Why every one is here? "I ask.

"Party baby " Ashton reply.

"I am not eating that food. "I glare at Lorenzo.

"Then don't eat. "He glare back at me.

"Oh guys stop. "Ashton glare at both of us.

"Okay mom" we both mock him.

Dhalia burst into laughing. Ashton glare at us. "Hey grace you have a good personality but I never thought that you fight with your brother like that. "Evelyn told.

"What do you mean? "I ask furrowing my eyebrows.

"Nothing thank you for helping me. You saved my life. "She smile and hug me.

"No problem. "I reply with smile.

We starts chatting with each others. But suddenly the door burst open reveling my lovely mother. She come towards us smiling at us. We smile at her. We gave her quick hug while she kiss our forehead. Dean look at my mom in shock cause he didn't know that this famous woman is my mom. He sigh.

"dad will be away for few days. "Mom explain me. I nod.

"May be he is busy. "I speak understanding.

"Well I want something to drink. "Says mom.

She took step towards the kitchen. I look Lorenzo in horror while he did same. Other look at us in confusion. We quickly run towards the kitchen standing between mom and kitchen. She look at us in confusion. We quickly grab her and led her back to living room.

"Wait I am thirsty. "She told.
