Title: Sweet Rose
Summary: The flower that started it all. Now Nicky's is on the run from her soulmate because she's found out the truth.
'How could he do that to me?' she thought as she ran. 'How could he betray me like that?'
She dived into the taxi she'd raced after, and climbed in.
"Descoudres Mansion please."
"Yes miss"
As he drove on, she heard something drop onto the roof. She opened the door and ran down the nearest alley. Without looking back, she knew it was him.
She heard his footsteps run after her. She quickly dodged him, by jumping over the fence. She heard him curse, but she lost him in the maze she knew so well.
She stopped to catch her breath.
She murmured to herself "What now. He'll be watching the mansion, so I can't go back.
Who knows what he'll tell them."
"I'd suggest you get out of town."
An old woman was standing in the doorway.
"Macy, you made me jump."
"The easy life has made you relaxed."
"I know."
"I'd suggest a quiet town, such as Briar's Creek."
"I'll have to get him off my trail first."
"And that costs money. Fortunately, I've money saved up."
"Oh Macy, you're too kind." She threw her arms round Macy.
"I'd do anything for… family." She whispered the last word.
"I know. And thanks again."
"Quick go, he's coming. I'll bluff him." she shoved a bag into Nicky's hands.
These were Nicky's last thought as she drifted off to sleep. Little did she know, was that someone was watching her from behind. Gazing at her auburn hair, her lithe figure, but most of all, her violet eyes.
