-1It was a dark and cold night, a young lady clutching a piece if velvet cloth in her hands, kneeling on the soft damp earth, her pearl colored gown stained with blood...trying to understand what just happed minutes ago...
"I love you, wait for me my darling Katherine. I'll be back for you someday. I promise" uttered in the softest whisper of a man clinging to a string of life.his body filled with bruises and blood. two men grabbed his hands and dragged him towards a carriage..he gave a faint smile to Katherine before he lost consciousness..
Before Katherine realized what she's doing, yanked herself out of her fathers clutches and flung her arms to the battered young man..
"where are you taking him!!, please don't do this father, i promise, I'll do whatever you want, but please, let him go.!!..." her voice breaking
"i'll make sure you never see this boy again!!, this will be the last time that you'll disobey me young lady" ...
a gun shot echoed thru the vast garden... and paralyzing fear crept to Katherine's entire being..
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Karen screamed ...jack who was sleeping beside her almost fell off the bed.. he quickly turned to Karen and shook his friend who's still, surprisingly asleep...
"Karen!!, Karen!! wake up!!!".. Karen open her eyes, tears rolling down her cheeks..her face flushed and covered with sweat...
she blankly looked at jack .. "what happened Karen, did you dream about having the same boob size as Gracie again?"
Karen could only nod and close her eyes again, she felt exhausted her body still trembling...
"You don't look well Kare, let me get Rosie, maybe your just hungry" jack said in a sweet girly voice . He picked up his Cher doll and stuck it halfway thru his blue cotton pajamas. before closing the door behind him, he glanced at his friend lying between the white satin sheets, her red silk nightgown made her look paler .she had never seen Karen that way before..
Jack made his way to the kitchen, and instantly saw Rosie by the refrigerator taking out a jar of olives... "yeah yeah, i heard the lady scream.. I'm fixing her breakfast right now.."
"hey you LA CURARACHA!, aren't you concerned about Karen!, why would you go straight to the kitchen and not to her room then if you heard that?!!" Jack said speaking so fast that bits of cereals that he stuffed in his mouth went flying on the air.
"shut your trap and swallow your food you idiot!" Rosario said in her Mexican accent monotonous voice. Rosario has been Karen walkers maid for so many years. even though Karen has been known for her I'll temper and obnoxious behavior, Rosario can't seem to leave her. Rosario loves Karen, that's why she's not afraid to tell her BOSS off when she gets out of line. Rosario takes care of Karen the way no other people would, she lets her know what Karen needs to hear straight, no lying , no beating around the bush.
Rosario looked at Jack behind her dark glasses. 'I know that you're with her in the room, that's why i know she's safe"
Jack couldn't help but smile shyly. biting his nails. He knows that's a big compliment specially coming from Rosario whose not exactly the mushy kind of person.
" wait a minute!! we arrived here at almost 12 midnight and nobody saw me with Karen, HAW"D DYA KNAW i AM HERE!! HUh HUH.. try to answer that." Jack said his hands to his waist his shoulders back.
"I noticed that the tiara of the virgin Mary is missing again ,and you better return it! that's an antique you know" Rosario said impatiently.
"Oh!.. hehehe.ok" jack laughed nervously because he couldn't remember where he put it. He took the breakfast tray that Rosario prepared for Karen and started walking up the stairs...he stopped when he heard something crunch under his foot. Without turning his head , he knows that Rosario is still looking at him. "Rosie" he said "i think i found the tiara!" and Jack scurried to Karen's room as fast as he could..
