Yah…look at this…another chapter…I know it's short, and I promise the next one will be a lot longer…kk…ooh yeah….someone asked about what happened to Of Frozen Wine and Emerald Eyes, well..someone ::glares at Paige:: didn't like that title…and plus…this was more poetic, to follow with the pattern of Melt the Rain and Freeze the Flame…
I smell a change coming, a shape turning leaves in the wind.

Since Danielle's visit, Paige had made it a point to keep a close eye on Mercy and Leila, making sure no one could hurt them, and nothing out of the ordinary had happened, Jeff, Paige, Mercy, Matt, Amy, and Madison were getting ready to go out to eat, all of them were standing in the lobby, fighting about where they were going to go, Paige was sitting in one of the chairs in the lobby, rubbing her temples, Jeff sat beside her, Matt and Amy stood beside them, Mercy was sitting on the small coffee table beside Madison, "Let's just go to Ruby Tuesday's" Amy sighed, giving in to Matt's request, this made Mercy jump, her hands shot to her neck, where she felt for the necklace Jeff had given her for her 14th birthday, realizing she didn't have it on, she jumped to her feet, Jeff looked up, "Where you going Tigress?" he asked, "Oh, I forgot my necklace, I'll be right back" she yelled while running to the elevator, she pushed the button and the door opened, she waved to her mom as the doors closed and called, "If I'm not back in 5 minutes, wait longer!" she smiled, the doors closed and the elevator began to go up, stopping at the 3rd floor, Mercy got out and ran down the hall to their room, opening the door with the key card and rushing in, leaving the door standing open, and walking to her night stand where the necklace lay, "There you are" she said, picking it up and putting it around her neck, snapping the clasp shut as she turned around and stumbled backwards, a man, about 6 foot and well built with brown hair and icy blue eyes, in his right hand he held something, but Mercy couldn't tell what, until she saw it glint in the light, it was a lead pipe, her heart nearly stopped, "Wh- what do you want?" she stammered, the man didn't answer, he lunged at her, grabbing her hair, she screamed, and he put his hand over her mouth, she bit it and he let go, kicking her in the back of the knee, causing her to fall to the floor, she scrambled for the bed, pulling the blanket off and knocking the lamp off of the night stand, it crashed to the ground, breaking, and the man grabbed her by the ankles and pulled her back, she grabbed the leg of the night stand and held on for dear life, but he pulled her and the night stand over, then picked her up, cradling her like a baby, and carrying her towards the door, she kicked at him, missing, but knocking the large mirror off the wall, it crashed to the floor as he carried her out the door, the crashing noises had brought the attention of Adam, who was sitting in his room down the hall, he poked his head out the door, and seeing the familiar blonde being carried away, he reacted, "Hey! Stop!" he yelled, running down the hall, Mercy heard the voice, and turned her head, "Addy! Help me!" she yelled, "Help me Addy!" Adam ran towards the man, as he got closer, the man turned and threw the lead pipe at him, hitting him in the head and knocking him down, and then the man, still carrying Mercy, disappeared through the emergency exit, once outside, he ran down the fire escape, still holding Mercy, and to the dark Grand Prix, throwing her into the backseat, and jumping into the passenger seat, "Go, Lydia, go, go!" he yelled, the young brown-haired girl sitting in the drivers seat stepped on the gas as they sped out of the alley, "Daddy? What did you do?" she asked, looking at the man then back at the road, "Just what I said I'd do, I hit your mother where it hurts" he said, Mercy lay in the backseat, pretending to be unconscious, as she listened, "Who is that?!" the girl asked, the man looked at her, and in an cold voice said, "That's your sister"
