She had walked around the Square what seemed like a hundred times and the same faces kept appearing over and over again, she had only been here a couple of hours but she was impatient she had seen every face but not the face she was looking for... She couldn't have changed that much, she couldn't look so different that she wouldn't know her. Suddenly a cold chill passed though her, it was a feeling like no other and when she turned around there she was, walking past talking into a phone she almost looked up, almost met her gaze... Did she feel it as well?

Nearly three weeks had passed since Glenda had left and Ronnie and Rebecca had settled into quite a comfortable little routine which did more than enrage Roxy who was feeling increasingly pushed out. It was nice for Ronnie to be having fun again, laughing at Rebecca's stupid jokes made her feel better. Rebecca was making little progress with Roxy, stone-faced whenever they met it was barely more than polite. Rebecca had been living it up as well, her cafe acquaintance Amy was becoming a firm friend- going out clubbing and hanging out it was fun. Rebecca would joke that Amy was a vampire, she would never go out during the day she was always busy, always had an excuse and as for getting her anywhere near Walford well that never going to happen "what is there in Walford?... Nothing" she had smiled when Rebecca had invited her round.

"You going out tonight?" Ronnie asked, drying her hair whilst Rebecca flicked through a magazine

"Hmm, yeah me and Amy are heading to some clubs" Rebecca answered

"You know you could come and spend your hard earned money at my club, I might even throw in a couple of free drinks" Ronnie smiled

"Thanks for the offer Ron but Amy's not really a fan of small places" Rebecca rolled her eyes wishing that they could just hang out at R'n'R's for a night.

"She sounds lovely" Ronnie teased

It didn't take Rebecca long to get ready, catching the tube she met Amy outside their regular meeting spot, the cafe. The owner Hassan knew them by name now and would always ask them about where they were off to that night and if he was feeling particularly generous he'd even 'forget' to charge them for a couple of muffins. The night passed uneventfully, getting drunk, dancing with guys just the usual kind of stuff the only weird moment was when the club photographer came round, Rebecca grabbed Amy for a girly snap but Amy seemed to freak out, ducking out of the way Rebecca smiled for the photo on her own.

"I'm going to head outside and get some air, it's crazy in here tonight" Rebecca explained to Amy, Amy nodded she had been quiet ever since the photographer incident

Making her way to the club entrance, Rebecca stood watching a group of drunk girls, laughing as they failed to walk in a straight line. She was about to go in when she noticed a guy watching her.

"Hi" he smiled, he was cute but there was something a little... Unnerving about him, the way he looked at her made her feel uncomfortable and Rebecca decided to make her excuses and leave.

"Sorry got to get inside, my mates waiting for me" Rebecca smiled moving away

"Hey, that's not very nice" the guy scowled pushing her round the corner

"Look i'm really not interested" Rebecca stuttered feeling nervous now as she felt the pressure of his grip around her wrist

The guy continued to stare at her, really stare at her. His piercing blue eyes glaring as he pushed himself against her. She tried to struggle but he just smacked her round the face. Her cheek stung and she let out a little yelp of pain. Clamping his hand over her mouth, he was pushing harder now, groping at her.

"Get the hell away from her!" Amy screamed

The guy was instantly spooked and ran away, dropping Rebecca to the ground there was a sickening thud as her head hit the pavement

"Bec!" Amy screeched, gathering her friend up into her arms

All the noise had finally alerted a bouncer who came running around the corner

"I'll call an ambulance and the police" he grunted "is she alright?"

Bec opened her eyes, relieved to see her friend

"You're ok aren't you yeah?" Amy willed "i've got you"

It wasn't long before they heard sirens, Amy suddenly looked horrified and looked down at her friend.

"I've got to leave you, i'm sorry but I can't be here when the police get here." Amy explained

"But..." Rebecca groaned

"I'm so sorry, please give me a text let me know you're ok" Amy begged "Will you look after her?" Amy asked the bouncer, who nodded moving Rebecca into his lap watching as the mysterious blonde girl ran away just as the ambulance approached...

"Where is she?" Ronnie panicked running into the A&E department "where is my sister- Rebecca Mitchell?"

A nurse smiled and brought her to Rebecca, she was sitting up in bed looking more scared than in pain.

"Ronnie!" she smiled when she saw her sister, Ronnie ran over and wrapped her arms protectively around Rebecca

"Sorry to interrupt but I need a quick word with Rebecca" a police officer smiled walking in

She went over all the details, how the guy had approached her, tried to attack her and finally was scared away.

"Right and have you got details for this girl, your friend. I'd like to have a little chat with her and ask her what she saw" the police officer smiled

"No I don't know how to contact her..." Rebecca lied, Ronnie looking at her confused but didn't say anything until the officer had left

"Why didn't you give him your friends number?" Ronnie asked

"She wouldn't want me to" Rebecca sighed

"I don't know if you should be hanging round with people who are afraid to talk to the police. It usually means they're in deep with something" Ronnie complained, stroking her sisters hair

"Ronnie don't" Rebecca warned

"I'm just worried about you" Ronnie explained

"Can we just go home" Rebecca muttered

"I'll go and talk to the doctor" Ronnie smiled

The doctor wanted Rebecca to stay in overnight so she could keep an eye on her but Rebecca continued to protest until the doctor eventually agreed to discharge her on the condition that if she felt any sickness or dizziness she was to come straight back. Ronnie was concerned but decided not to argue, Rebecca looked uncomfortable and shaky and didn't settle until they were back in the flat. It was about two in the morning when Ronnie realised Rebecca was still up, stifling a yawn Ronnie wandered into the living room to see Rebecca staring blankly into space.

"You ok?" Ronnie asked, sitting next to her

"Yeah... Can't sleep" Rebecca explained

"How about I get you a hot chocolate?" Ronnie offered

"Sure" Rebecca smiled

As her sister walked over to the kettle, Rebecca began to explore the room looking through Ronnie's things, looking at pictures... Little things she had yet to do. She reached the shelf with all the pictures, there was her mother proudly holding Ronnie in her arms, Roxy smiling her arm wrapped around Ronnie Rebecca wished her sister could be like that with her. Then there was a photo-frame pushed to the back, partially covered by a picture of Roxy. Rebecca reached out and grabbed it. Looking closely, her heart skipped a beat.

"Amy..." She whispered confused

"What did you say?" Ronnie asked, walking over with a cup of hot chocolate

"Who is this?" Rebecca asked thrusting the picture towards Ronnie

Rebecca watched as Ronnie's shoulders sank and a look of sadness spread across her face.

"That's my daughter Danielle... She died two months ago"

Thanks for the reviews, it's great to know that people are enjoying this, all your questions and theories always make me smile! I never planned to do this but when I got the idea it wouldn't go away :D
