"So Kes...what do you think of Horizon so far?" Peter started out with an easy question before he got to what he really wanted to know.
"Um, it seems pretty cool I guess."She said nervously,"better than being with my brother," she whispered to herself thinking Peter didn't hear, but he did.
"That's good. Most of the teens here are dragged kicking and screaming the whole way...Let me tell you, some of these people here can really scream too," Peter said with a wry grin hoping to put her more at ease.
"I think I can see that in some of them," she replied with a small grin of her own. Maybe Peter wasn't gonna ask her bout Rick after all. Maybe she could relax around him, he seemed very nice...like he actually cared about the kids here.
"So you can tell too? You seem to be getting alone well with everyone...especially Auggie."
"Yeah...he seems like a really nice person, very good listener too." Peter filed this away for later use, at least he knows she is talking to someone about why she's here, her files didn't tell much so Auggie probably knew more than he did.
"You know the other new boy too right? Rick?" Peter asked. He didn't expect the reaction her got.
Kes could feel herself and her heart started beating so fast she was afraid it would jump right out of her heart. She had to calm herself down so he won't suspect anything but that was easier said than done. She could see Rick starting to come near the door behind Peter and he winked at her and mouthed 'I'll see you later'. This made her think of the last time he said that to her.
~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey kitty kat. What ya up to?" Rick asked Kes as she was writing something.
"Um...nothing," she quietly replied, keeping her eyes on the paper.
"Nothing oh? Let me see then," he said as he ripped the paper away from her.
"Hey! Give it back!" she yelled, relizing too late what a mistake that was.
"What did you say bitch? How dare you yell at me!" Rick screamed as he slapped her across the face then kicked her in the stomach. "You'll do well to remember not to yell at me. And look at me when I speak to you, good for nothing slut!" He yelled kicking her some more and left with a final kick to the head and saying "I will see you later", dropping the paper as he went.
"Good," Kes whispered quietly. She was glad he finally left although she couldn't move now she was in so much pain. She knew if she didn't get up to her room before her brother got back though, then she would get yelled at by him. At least he didn't read the paper, she thought, looking at the suicide note she was writing...always better to be prepared she thought when she started writing it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~End of flashback~~~~~~~~~
"Kes? Are you okay?" Peter asked, starting to get worried. Kes seemed to have zoned out and had a look of remembered horror on her face.
"Um..yeah. May I go now?" She asked as politely as possible hoping he wouldn't ask anything else.
"Sure. Go and join the others. I'm sure they are ready to get the party started," Peter said knowing now was not the time to continue with the questions. It was her first day after all.
I'm glad he let it go...I hope Rick doesn't start something at the party...she thought with a shudder. What she didn't know was with that last thought, she jinxed herself. Rick was going to start something. Maybe not at the party but at some point....very soon.
