M: I just want to say that I'm so sorry for not updating sooner! I lost internet and I finally got it but its coming and going. Not to mention that I have like 50 million projects to do this month so I might not be able to update as quick as I usually do. Also I know that its 10 o clock but I just felt like moving it up to 9

o clock. You'll see why later on in the story.

Red: Am I in this one?

M: Maybe you are maybe you aren't. Do the disclaimer and we'll see?

Red: (sulking) M does not own House of Anubis or any of the characters. She only owns her OC's Blue and Red.

M: ON WITH THE STORY!

Recap:

It hit the mark.

I ran back till I got to the house. I crept back into my room and closed the window. After checking to make sure that no one had snuck in since I had left the window open I went and took a shower. I came out wearing the pajamas Trudy had lent me. They were a bit big on me but watev it would work till I would be able to go into town and buy myself a pair. I then went to bed.

Dream:

I was back in America. Back in my town. Back with my gang. We were teaming up with him and his gang. For one reason: The gang Poison that had just arrived from who knows where was causing too much trouble. Not only were they robbing, but they had sent 20 people already to the hospital. Some due to beatings and others do to bullets.

I was almost one of them. They threw me into the alley and had surrounded me. I of course wasn't going to have any of this so I started fighting them. I was putting up a really good fight. It was 1 against 10(obviously the whole gang wasn't there) but I was beating them up pretty badly.

I was kicking, punching, slashing, heck I even bit one of them when he put his arm around my neck to choke me. Anyway, I was holding my own and causing them to actually have to defend themselves…but then… the gang leader who literally was called Poison (notice where the gangs name came from) took out his gun. To put it quite simply: He shot me.

Luckily, it was my arm that got shot. I mean that's not good but its better then getting shot like in the stomach for example (trust me. Been there done that. Have the T-shirt. Not a good experience) Anyway, I winced when I felt the bullet rip through my arm. I held my arm in pain as the blood started gushing out. I glared at Poison. He smirked and said "so the little girl is trying to be strong."

"I'm not trying to be strong, I am strong, deadbrain." I spat at him.

He glared at me and said while waving his gun as if he was gonna shoot me again. "I don't appreciate those vile words. I guess I'm gonna have to teach you a lesson."

"Not today, dumbbell." I heard his voice echo through the alley. "Class's dismissed." I swear I could hear the smirk in his voice. Before Poison even had time to open his mouth he was thrown against the wall.

I immediately took action and started kicking and hitting my way out of the crowd of Poison's gang. A gang member grabbed my bleeding arm. I hissed in pain and stepped on his foot. I then pushed my elbow into the guy's ribs and then kicked my foot backwards, hitting him. He let go of me with a groan and fell down onto the ground.

I saw someone fighting Poison but I couldn't see who. Just a shadow. A shadow casted by the darkness of the night. But I had a feeling I knew who it was. Poison finally was able to get a good hit on him and sent him flying backwards a couple of steps. I saw Poison take out his gun again. I ran at him and jumped when I was a couple of inches away from him to do a flying kick. I hit his hand causing him to let go of the gun and I then punched him.

With my injured arm. Not a bright idea in my part. I had to grit my teeth to hold in a scream as I felt unbearing pain shoot threw my arm. Poison grabbed my injured arm with a hard grip and pulled it behind my back. He was injecting his nails where the bullet had gone through.

This time I couldn't help it. I let a pained fill scream erupt from my mouth. Poison laughed at my pain and at the glare hesent at him. "What's the matter? Can't handle her being in pain?" Poison taunted.

It looks like both Poison and he saw the gun that was on the floor and he got the gun before Poison could even move and held it up. Poison pushed me in front of him and said "Go ahead. Shoot. She'll be the one to take it." I growled and threw my head back as hard as I could, colliding with Poison's face. I heard the crunch of his nose getting smashed and possibly broken.

I tore myself away from his grasp, not caring of the pain I felt in my arm. I ran towards him and together we ran out of the alley. We ran and ran till we got to our secret meeting place. We stopped there knowing that we were safe. We looked into each others eyes and then he grabbed my shot arm and held it up to look at the damage, using the moonlight for light. I winced at the pain and saw him frown.

I guess the burning, unbearing pain in my arm was too much to bear anymore, because before I knew it I felt myself fall onto him as I fainted.

End Dream:

I woke up gasping for air. I pushed my hand threw my hair untangling it as I looked at the clock on my bedside table. In a bluish glow 6: 50 glowed tauntingly at me. It's basically 7 I thought sluggishly. I got up, grabbed my uniform, and dragged myself into the bathroom to take a shower and get ready. I got out of the bathroom and looked at myself in the full length body mirror that was in my room.

So this is a uniform. I had almost forgotten what they were like I thought looking at my reflection. It's so… so… bleh… and dead… and no personality what so ever. The uniform consisted of a white button up shirt with a collar. The red- plaid uniform skirt went up to the middle of my knees. It finished off with almost knee high socks and the uniformy shoes. I ain't wearing this.

I went to my desk and looked through the drawers for a scissor. Nothing. So I had to get my knife (I was going to get it anyway) and cut the skirt. The skirt now went to a bit after my thighs. I then undid the first three buttons of the shirt and pushed the collar down

(After cutting it a bit though) I just changed the socks for short, up to the ankle socks.

Now for some personalization. I opened my little jewelry box and took out a silver ring that was in the shape of a lightning bolt. I placed it on my right hand in my ring finger. I heard something fall onto the ground. I bent down and grabbed what fell. My ring.

It wasn't just a ring though. It was my gang ring.

As I looked at it I remembered the day that my gang and I had received these rings.

Flashback:

Finally after weeks of having to keep watch on this famous ring- maker who had just retired, he was finally safe. I had just defeated an assassin known as Cruel who had been after him. Apparently this famous ring- maker would make rings that had some sort of magic in them. There were some rings for luck, some for money, some for love, anything you could imagine, there was a magical ring he would make for that purpose. Apparently, Cruel had wanted him to make him a ring that would help him in his crimes and tasks. Obviously the old man, Don refused. Cruel had just been about to kill him when me and my gang came across them. After chasing Cruel away Don told us everything.

I decided that we would protect him. So we had constant watch over him. I would also be next to him as much as I possibly could. For weeks we had been in a constant battle with Cruel but we had finally done it. We finally stopped him. Anyway, Don wanted to repay us and said that he would make very specials rings for each one of us. In an hour he had them ready. For each gang member the ring was different. When Don finally got to me he smiled and said in an urgent whisper leaning closer to me

"Blue… for you… I have done a very special ring. For you... you are a very special… yes indeed… you are a very special girl." He chuckled lightly and opened a box to show me the ring.

"It's… It's beautiful." I said as I picked it up carefully, afraid that it would break. It truly was beautiful and it did have some sort of a magical look to it. It was just a simple silver band that had a circle popping out of it made out of glass. Outside of the circle surrounding it was metal "vines". The "vines" had an intricate design and it stopped in the middle of the small glass ball where a metallic rose was painted on to it and a red dragon was wrapped around it and went up a bit letting me see its face. I then noticed that inside the glass circle was something that looked like a liquid. The liquid was moving inside the ring as if it had a life of its own and was constantly changing color.

"Thank you." I said as I placed it on my left ring finger.

Don smiled at me and said "a special ring I made… for a special girl. A special ring like this for a special girl who is kind-hearted and meant for a greater purpose. Blue… my dear child… let it guide you…"

"Let what guide me?" I asked confused.

"The power… the magic that fills the ring. Let it guide you… It shall help you later on… when it is needed. Let it guide your life… your actions… it will lead you into victory… but only when you are united with your other half."

"What?" I said looking at him confused.

"Let the magic fill you. Trust in the magic and power embedded on this ring. Let it guide you." Don whispered to me before he walked slowly to the back of his store.

"WAIT! DON!" I yelled as I ran after him. When I got to the back of his store… I didn't see him… he was gone….

End Flashback:

I shook my head side to side trying to forget that memory. I never told the gang what he said. I never told anyone. I always wore the ring as did the rest of my gang. I hadn't planned on wearing it anymore though since I didn't want to have anything that connected me to my past so I had it in a secret compartment so it would be safe but I wouldn't wear it. I guess the ring had different plans.

I put it on my ring finger on my left hand. Immediately I felt that familiar jolt of electricity and adrenaline as it slid across my skin. As I stared at the ring I noticed that the liquid starting moving quicker and quicker and quicker and before I knew it, the liquid was rainbow colored. In a couple of seconds I thought I saw an image start to appear through the liquid. I strained my eyes to see it better and in a couple of seconds I saw it. The image… the image was my gang… I could see every single member perfectly as if it was a photo. I blinked and rubbed my eyes thinking that I was imagining things.

I looked at it again and didn't see my gang, just the rainbow liquid. Just my imagin…AAAAK!"

Another image appeared except this time it was his gang. What on earth? The image was covered by the rainbow liquid. A new image took its place… it was him! I felt my heart start to beat quickly. The image changed again and this time it was just me when I was still in the gang. The image changed again and this time it was the same picture I had of my gang and his gang posing together. The image changed again and this time it was the other picture I had… of just me and him.

I can't believe it. What is this? I didn't understand this. My ring had never done that before. More importantly how did Don make the ring be able to do that and how did he get those images… I don't understand it… Trudy's voice yelling "Breakfast is ready!" caused me to snap out of my thoughts. I quickly placed my royal blue hair extension on and had to go under my bed again to retrieve my gun. As I got up, I noticed something… where was I going to place my gun and knife…good question.

After a couple of minutes passed it hit me! I clipped my gun on to the skirt on the left side of my waist and it was covered by the uniform shirt that had to be tucked in. For my knife I clipped it on the skirt but on the right side of my waist. I checked myself fully before throwing my black book bag over my shoulder as I walked out the door. I could see Jerome leaning on the wall talking to Alfie most likely, while dangling his untouched toast in his right hand.

I noticed that everyone got quite as they heard my footsteps. I continued walking forward and as I passed Jerome, before anyone could even blink I had snatched his piece of toast out of his hand and was already half way out the door, biting it. As I left the house I could hear Jerome yell "HEY! WHAT THE! MY TOAST!"

I smirked, laughing silently to myself as I bit into the toast. I ate half of it and then threw it into a trash can that was in my view. I continued walking calmly to the school, closing my eyes as the strong wind blew past me, the smell of wet grass and flower drifting around me. I felt so calm, serene, and peaceful. When was the last time I felt like this?

My peaceful moment was shattered as I heard Jerome yelling in the distance "ALFIE! WAIT TILL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!" Alfie ran past me laughing, pushing me in the process into the alley a bit by accident. Well so much for that.

I felt myself falling backwards since I lost my balance a bit but I felt two hands grab me, and steady me. In a split of a second I was pushed against the wall, my so called "savior" notice the sarcasm here was framing me, keeping me trapped. He had his left arm up, his hand pushing against the wall next to my head and his other hand was limply by his side. His face was near mine, and I could feel his breath hit my face.

It was basic instinct I tell you, basic instinct. I threw my leg up to knee this "savior" but his hand stopped my leg, so I threw a punch at his face. His other hand grabbed my wrist.

I immediately broke free from his hold and threw another punch. He blocked again.

I started aiming punches and kicks at him, but this guy kept on blocking every single thing I threw at him. It was like he knew what I would do but that's impossible. Ever heard of the saying you gotta do what you gotta do, well if you haven't congrats you've learned it. I grabbed my knife and swiftly moved my arm to hit this guy with it. He grabbed my wrist in a strong hold.

I fought with him but I couldn't break free. "Do you really think your stronger then me?" My "savior" taunted me in a very familiar voice.

I felt a growl rip threw my throat and in a split of a second I had broken free from his grasp and had turned the tables. I had pushed him into the wall, my arm pressing into his neck, with the knife lightly pressed on his throat. We just stayed in that same position for a couple of seconds. I was breathing hard, my chest was heaving, as I tried to catch my breath as I looked into the very familiar eyes of my "savior/attacker"

"You still got it." He said smiling at me. I smiled back. I just couldn't believe how calm he was even though their was a knife against his throat, but that's part of what made him… well… him.

"Of course I do. What did you expect?" I asked smiling at him, lightening the pressure of my arm and knife against his neck.

"Don't know." He said smiling, closing his eyes, and shrugging his shoulders playfully. He opened his eyes again showing true seriousness along with happiness in them "It's been awhile." He murmured looking straight into my eyes with such emotion going threw his.

"Ya… it has…" I murmured back. I heard the bell from the school ring out signifying that class had started meaning that I was late but right now I could care less. I moved away from him, putting my knife back where it was, as he just stood there watching me.

"What are you doing here?" Both of us exclaimed at the same time. "You first!" We said together again. "UGH!" We both looked away from each other since we apparently couldn't have a convo without saying the same thing at the same time.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him seriously, while looking out of the alley, leaning against the wall behind me my arms crossed under my chest.

The air immediately got filled with tension and deathly silent as he straightened up rigidly against the other wall. He looked at me seriously, his eyes burning into my head, and said "I came to get you."

"Why?" I asked him a bit harshly, not to mention coldly.

"Because you left! You vanished without a trace! You left your gang! Your life! You left me!" He yelled getting a bit angry.

"I had to escape!" I yelled back.

"From WHAT!" He yelled fire burning through his eyes.

"From my LIFE! Alright! The whole gang thing was too much!" I yelled my voice cracking near the end. "It got too much for me… I couldn't handle it…" I whispered tears starting to roll down my cheeks.

"H-Hey… it's alright… I get it..." He murmured softly reaching his hand out to pull me into a hug.

"NO!" I yelled pushing his hand away. "NO! You don't understand! You don't!" I yelled more tears breaking free. " They counted on me… they counted on me to be strong… to be there rock… there shelter to hide in… to be able to protect them… they could never see me cry, or look weak… or be in major pain…" I started sobbing, my breathing broken, as I tried to calm down but I couldn't.

He pulled me into a comforting and strong hug. "Sh… it's ok… everything's alright." He murmured softly as he stroked my hair. We stayed like this for a couple of minutes till I calmed down. He pushed my chin up so he could look into my eyes. He wiped a tear that was straying down my cheek with his thumb. "Better?" He asked me in a whisper. I nodded my head.

He pulled away and said "Blue… you weren't alone… your gang knew you weren't invincible… they knew you were like them… you didn't have to hide how you were feeling from them… I mean… weren't they your family and friends." I nodded my head. "You see… you don't have to feel like you have the entire world's wait on your shoulder… you have your gang that looks out for you as you do for them and you have…" He hesitated a couple of seconds and then finished "and you have me…"

A smile broke through my lips. "Thank you… that means a lot…" I told him shyly as I looked down at my feet.

He smiled and said trying to lighten up the mood "and I promise you that I will personally make sure that my gang has your back too if you need it." I laughed lightly at that. He smiled and said "So… will you come back with me… to America?" He smiled at me.

I felt my breath get caught in my throat and it pained me to have to disappoint him.

"No…" I said. "I can't."

"Why not?"

"I came here to forget about my past. To escape from it all and that's what I plan to do."

"You're lying."

"I'm not."

"You are."

"Believe what you want, but I'm not lying."

"I know you! You're not telling me everything."

"Just drop it."

"But…"

"Red" I looked into his eyes fiercely. "Drop it."

He looked at me for a couple of seconds and then turned around and started walking deeper into the alley. "Where you live?"

"Anubis House."

He just nodded his head and ran deeper into the alley. I sighed and walked out of the alley and started walking calmly to the school… I mean… what's the point of rushing if I'm already late. Anyway I got to school and after looking at the clock I walked to my corresponding class. Drama… joy…
