I'm picking up from the last chapeter :)

later that night...
"Diahan! I've got a letter for you!" kloppman called as she entered the lodging house.
Diahan looked surprised. 'A letter? From who?" "No return address" kloppman replied as he handed it to her.
She frowned , not Knowing what news it might contain. She headed up to her room.
Meanwhile...
Blink entered the lodging house. he had taken a short walk to get his mind off of skittery.
"hey kloppman" "uh , blink , diahan just got back" "okay , thanks!"
Meanwhile again...
Diahan opened the letter. She reached in and pulled out a soggy peice of paper. Imediatly she dropped it , shocked.
It was covered in blood. Shaking , she carefully picked it up again and threw it on her desk so she could read it without having to hold it.

Diahan,
I know what you've been up to. I'm coming to get you. You won't escape this time.
I have a plan. You will be dead just like your mother and all of your brother and
sister scum. I hope your waiting...

Diahan almost fainted when she read the letter. He was coming to get her.
Her mind flashed back to that terrible afternoon:

"No! Stop it!" she had screamed. He ran viciously at her with a knife. "Daddy no!"
He thrust the knife at her and slashed her leg. She screamed. No one had heard her.
He threw her down and knocked her out. he thought she was dead. He was wrong...

Tears started pouring out of Diahan's eyes. She didn't want to be killed by...him.
She didn't want to be killed at all. Or did she? Still crying , she grabbed a small peice of broken glass.
She raised up her skirt above her knee and cut.

Just then, Blink entered. He saw her sitting on the floor with the glass in her hand, tears pouring down her face, and blood trickling down her leg.
"Diahan!" he yelled. He ran to her and sat down next to her. He grabbed the glass away from her and threw it aside.
"What are you doing?" Diahan couldn't speak. She didn't know what she was doing , but she knew why. She pointed to the bloody letter.
Blink stood up and read the letter. His eye widened with shock.
"w...who wrote this?" Diahan shook her head. She didn't want him to know.
He sat down beside her and took off his shirt.
He wrapped it around her cut and tied it in a knot. it would have to do until he told Kloppman.
He gently drew closer to her. "I have to know whats going on. This is dangerous..."
Diahan's tears slowed. "It all started last year in my homeland Ireland." she choked.
" We were all a happy family, my mom, dad, and my five siblings. But then, one day I came home from my work
and saw me bruddas and sistahs huddled in a corner cryin'. Lyin' in a pool o' blood was me Mudda.
Me Fadda 'ad, 'ad killed 'er." She started crying again.
Blink put his arm around her. "Go on"
"Dat night, Me fadda 'urried us on a ship. to america. I 'ad always wanted ta go. I 'ad 'ad a Dream. anyway,
We moved into an abandoned building. We 'ad very li'le money and what we 'ad me dad spent on beer.
One day I came home and, and saw dat me dad 'ad killed me bruddas an sistahs." her voice shook.
"Den , 'e came afta me wid a knife. 'e ran me to an alley and attacked. 'e thought i was dead but...
you know da rest."
She started shaking uncontrolably. Blink ran his fingers through her hair.
How could a girl so sweet come from a father that terrible? he thought.
"Well , 'e ain't gonna gitcha wid me around" blink said protectively. Diahan smiled up at him.
"And from now on , you's gots ta promise me, no more death attempts." Diahan almost laughed.
"I's promise" Blink took hold of her chin took stare into her beautiful eyes. He kissed her deeply.
"I loves ya" "I loves you too"

And once again , blink doesn't make it back to the dormitory! *snickers*
