Nina's POV

I heard the annoying ring of my alarm clock and groaned sleepily. I heaved my heavy bones out of my bed. Amber was still sleeping so I crept out of our room and tiptoed to the bathroom. I got changed putting on my school uniform: a red blazer, a white blouse, a grey skirt and my pointed ballet flats. I ran down the stairs hoping to be the first one down but someone else had the same idea as me. Joy and Mara.

"We can't do this alone!" Whispered Mara

"Yes, we can. Anyway if we did need help who would we be able to trust?"

"Nina could help,"

" No, she has done nothing but bad things to us."

"Hi guys!" I called out cheerily pretending to not have heard them talking. Joy looked shocked and then ran out of the room with Mara hot on her trail. "What's up with her then?" called out Alfi. "She has been acting weirdly." Said Mick. Amber flounced down the stairs and gave Mick a quick peck on the cheek. "Hey boo!" Amber said cheerly. We all sat down and ate our breakfast which mostly contained cereal. Amber walked me to school making small talk about the school dance that had happened. When Amber mentioned the school dance all the memories came flooding back to me. I was wearing a shimmery blue dress dancing with Phabian. I went to get us some drinks and when I came back I saw... Joy with Phabian. At first I thought it was nothing as I approached them but then Joy saw me coming and kissed Phabian. When he pulled away he kissed her again. I was so shocked. I started to cry and then Joy came up to me and pushed me down to the ground. I heard a massive "rrriiippp" and to my horror my beautiful dress was torn in half. I could still see Joy's smug look as I ran out in floods of tears.

Finally History class the last class of the day. I sat down as Mr. Miller called out the register. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Joy running down the corridor with a black object held in her hands. She stopped to walk then saw me looking at her and she started to sprint again.

Joy's POV

Crap, had she seen me? I loaded my gun and stuffed it in my school bag. Footsteps came down the long corridor. "I know your here" Whispered a gruff voice. I sprinted to the last class room on the right. I ran into the cupboard and locked myself inside. If Mara didn't turn up I was screwed. I ran through my plan in my head: load the gun, find the secret door in the attic, take the key out of my pocket, unlock the door, find the vase, go to the Spirit house and make the offering to save my life... The footsteps came closer. "The coast seems clear." Called out a recognizable gruff voice... Victor!

"Yes," called out a woman's voice I didn't recognize.

"Why have you called me here?"

"To discuss the chosen one."

I was terrified if Victor found me he would... I don't know but It would be bad.

Does Victor find Joy? What will Nina do? Will Mara come? Find out next week... Merry Christmas. Plz rate comment and subscribe :):) Thanks for reading
