(The next morning pretty early) ,,Everybody wake up!"-Ebony (standing on the balcony and waking everyone with her shouts).

,,What is it Ebony?"-Danni (coming out of her room still looking a bit sleepy).

,,This has better be important!"-Lex (obvious very annoyed with being woken up in what he called 'the middle of the night', although the sun was already coming up).

,,It is. I know who poisoned Tai-San."-Ebony.

,,Who?"-Ellie.

,,Spike. He's gone, but he left this note. (holding up a hurrily written note) It says he poisoned Tai-San and was very sorry when he saw everybody suspected me. So he left."-Ebony.

i,,I know there's something wrong with that story. And Ebony is gonna have to go trough something terrible for it. But what was it? I'm sure it was important!"/i

,,Now that that's all been cleared, can I go back to bed? It's been a long night."-Lex (he left and the others, not seeming to be quite awake yet, followed his lead).

,,Look out Ebony, this is gonna backfire on you." (when almost everyone had left).

,,Is that a treat?"-Ebony.

,,No. It's a warning." (to tired to hide my consern and after that going back to bed too, leaving Ebony there to think about what I'd said).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(That day at breakfast everybody was still tired because of Ebony's early wake up call, so there wasn't said much. The rest of the day just went like any other day, except for one guy, the same one as yesterday, causing trouble. But the militia dealed with that and soon the peace returned. Then there was this litte incident with KC speeding into the Mall looking like he'd seen a ghost. But he wouldn't say what had happened and instead ran staight to Ebony. I didn't really pay attention to it, if KC had finally found someone other than Lex, who just let him do his dirty business, to talk to, it could only be good, even if that someone was Ebony. Quickly after she and KC had talked, Ebony snuck out the Mall. Sensing that there was something wrong and having a little voice in the back of my head telling me I should go after her, I did, but when I got out of the sewers, there was no sign of Ebony anywhere, so I tried to dismiss the incident, but I didn't really succeeded.)

,,What's wrong?"-Sahsa.

,,Huh? (being pulled out of my worried thoughts.) Why do you think something is wrong?" (trying to look cheerful).

,,You can't fool me, I can see it on your face. Tell me."-Sasha.

,,Okay, I'm worried about Ebony, I have a bad feeling about all of this and I know something is gonna go wrong. And Ebony will be on the receeving end. I just wish I could remember WHAT was gonna go wrong!" (finally letting out what had been troubeling me all day).

,,Then why don't we just go find Ebony and you can see she's alright."- Sasha.

,,Because she left! KC came storming in and he talked to her for a while, then she just took off. I tried to follow, but I lost her."

,,In what direction did she go?"-Sasha.

,,I don't know! I was a bit behind, so she wouldn't notice me, and when I came out of the sewers she was already gone! I have no idea where she went, I just have this little voice in the back of my head saying I should watch out, because something is gonna go wrong." (very annoyed by all this).

,,I'm sure she'll be fine, let's get something to eat, okay?"-Sasha.

,,Sure." (not convinced and deciding to keep an eye open).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

,,But where did she go?"-Danni (Sasha and I walked into the food court where a lot of the other Mallrats were already sitting and apparently discussing Ebony).

,,KC, you saw her last, do you know where Ebony went?"-Tai-San.

,,No, I just asked her if she had seen Lex anywhere."-KC (being the little rat he was it was difficult to see if he was telling the truth).

,,Who cares if she's gone? I say good rittens!"-Lex.

,,She could be planning something."-Trudy.

,,I think we should try to find her before she carries out whatever plan she has."-Alice.

,,But we have no idea where she went."-Pride.

,,Are you sure you don't know where she is, KC?"-Salene.

,,I told you, I don't know!"-KC.

,,Well, whatever she is doing, we'd better watch out."-Ellie (everyone agreed with that and went back to eating).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

,,So how are you doing?" (being the only two left in the cafe, after everyone except Danni had gone to do their chores).

,,Better, they don't seem to hold what my dad did agianst me."-Danni (looking really relieved).

,,I told you so."

,,Yeah you did. And you were right."-Danni.

,,I'm glad. It wouldn't be fun for you to get accusing looks because of something your father did."

,,Lucky for me, everybody here thinks like that. Well, maybe except for Lex or Ebony, but most think like that."-Danni.

,,Yeah, they're some pretty amazing people." (standing up to get on with my work).
