I never expected to have this story even reach 5 chapters! And I certainly never expected for ppl to actually like it, lol!

Anyway, enuff of my incessant rambling! ON TO THE STORY -^_^-


*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

The night air seemed still as the clock struck 9:00pm. The streets were empty except for the few people roaming around, doing last minute errands. Cars went by, the lights engulfing the dark houses in light. Everyone was too busy to notice the crimson smear of blood across the stone cold pavement, or wonder what and where it had came from. Only the bushes and houses knew what happened only a few hours earlier….

*2 hours ago*

Leslea dragged the unconscious Kari behind the thick brush. Everyone was too caught up in their own pathetic everyday lives to even care to notice what was going on right in front of them.

She let out a small devilish laugh.

"This is what happens when you mess with my man," she said, coldly. (a/n: boy, she is seriously delusional-_-)

Leslea pulled her sleek silver cell phone out of her jeans pocket and pressed a number.

It took only a second before someone picked up.

"Hello?" a voice asked.

Leslea started to have second thoughts about telling 'him'.
 What if he…gets mad? Should I even tell him? Is what I'm doing to Kari even right?... wait… of course it is! SHE is the one that stole my man right out from under me! She deserves this and a whole lot more! I can't be second guessing my actions now…not after I've gone this far to stop it!

"Is anyone there?" the voice asked again, seemingly irritated.


"Uh yeah, hey Davis, it's me, Leslea," she said, regaining the anger towards Kari that burned in her darkened soul.

"Leslea? Why are you calling me at this hour? Is something wrong?" he asked, a bit worried now.

"Well, depends. If you mean with me, then no, nothing it wrong…but if you mean with…oh lets say…Kari…then yes," she said, secretly smiling…pleased with her actions.

Davis stood still in fear. What has she done to my precious Kari?! She wouldn't have…killed her…would she?

"What do you mean something is wrong with Kari? TELL ME!!" he practically shouted.

"Geez, calm down Davis. She's alive, if that's what ya wanna know…and I didn't like stab her mutilate her or anything if that is what you are thinking," she said, rolling her eyes.

Davis sighed in relief. "Then what did you do to her?" he asked, relieved.

"I knocked her out and now she's bleeding," she said simply, shaping her nails idly.

Davis could feel the color draining from his face. Did she just say what I think she said?!

"How could you?! I didn't think you could be so heartless and cruel!" he yelled.

"How could I?! YOU are the one that wanted her for yourself!!! You would do ANYTHING to get Kari away from Tk!" she yelled back.

"Well, the same goes for you and Tk! You would do anything to get Tk away from her!" he countered.

"Yeah, but the difference is, I didn't pretend to be Kari's best friend," she said in a calm voice, and hung up the phone.

Davis stood there holding the phone in his hand, listening to the sound of the dial tone. He knew she was right. Leslea had never in any way pretended to like Kari. She had despised her ever since she had changed to their school. Or maybe it was when she saw how much attention Kari got from Tk. Who knows. All he knew was that that is what did it for him: seeing how much time they spent together…all the attention they showered upon the other…it made him sick...

He shook his head and grabbed the coat next to the door, and went off in search of Leslea and Kari.

-*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*-

"You're right, I have to tell Tk about Leslea. It's the right thing to do," Kacie said to Dawn.

"I'm always right," Dawn said laughing.

Kacie gave her a look.

"Yeah yeah yeah. But seriously, I'm right this time at least. You should probably go tell him now, before something else happens," Dawn suggested.

"Good idea. Wanna come with?"

"Nah, that's okay. I'm gonna go see what Tai's up to," Dawn said mischievously.

"Uh huh, you go do that," Kacie said, obviously trying not to laugh.

Dawn glared at her. "Nothing like that you weirdo!"

Kacie laughed.

"ANYWAY, I gotta jet! Call me later!"

She nodded. "Ok. Bye Dawn."

Dawn waved and hailed a taxi and left.

Kacie turned back around, hugging her black leather jacket to her body. The wind started to blow furiously, whipping her long brown hair into a frenzy. It was so sudden. She could feel the bad vibes blowing with it. All of a sudden, Kacie felt chills run down her spine. Something had happened.

Without even thinking, or knowing where she was going for that matter, she picked up her feet from the ground, and ran, ran as fast as she could into the oncoming darkness.

!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!

Tk emerged from the door to the apartment building. Matt had been of no help to Tk…maybe it was because he was too busy thinking of Mimi.

"I'm so confused! Why does everything have to be this confusing?! " he yelled up at the night sky.

Suddenly, he felt the wind pick up. The ferocity of the wind surprised him. He had never felt it so powerful. Is this some sort of sign? A sign that I should forget about Kari?

He was interrupted from his thoughts by a figure running down the street. He took a closer look at the person.

Wait…isn't that Kacie?

"Kacie!!" he yelled out. Since she didn't stop or even acknowledge him, he figured she didn't hear him. Tk went down the stairs, and ran after Kacie.

Something must be wrong. She wouldn't be out here in this weather, this late, running, for no reason at all.

Instantly, he saw her fall. He heard her scream, a scream that pierced the night air.

He quickly caught up to her and bent down next to her, panting.

"Kacie…are you okay?" he asked, trying to catch his breath.

She shook her head in fright. "Look! Look at the ground Takeru…It's blood!!!!" she said trying not to scream.

He could tell she was frightened, she never called him 'Takeru' unless she was. He looked over near the bushes to where she was pointing, and gasped.

A puddle of crimson blood leaked out from under the shrubs.

He immediately jumped up, pulling Kacie up with him.

"Dear God NOOO!!!" he yelled into the night.

Kacie looked up at him, fear in her eyes. "What is it?!"

He didn't reply to question, instead he kept his eyes planted…planted on the gold bracelet in the blood…Kari's gold bracelet.
