As the drum roll sounded, Persephone held her breath, exhaling when the spotlight drifted closer to her.

"Trinity." Was all Persephone heard, before the crowd shrieked with joy.

Watching the spotlight shine on that ………………she couldn't even think of a word, she was so mad. I'm going to bring that bitch down once and for all. Narrowing her eyes, she pushed past Mero and walked off to the table that held the punch.

"Oh my god, Neo, can you believe it?" Trinity's hand fluttered nervously on his jacket lapel.

"I know, it's unbelievable, Trin. But then so are you." Neo looked into her eyes, thanking whatever gods had put Trinity in his life. Without her, I wouldn't be alive, she's the reason I get up every morning. I don't know what I would do, if anything ever happened to her……………….

Closing his eyes, Neo inhaled Trinity's scent and they danced away in the shadows.

Mero sniffed his cup delicately, swirled the glass, then sipped the wine. Perfection. Being able to legally drink at 16 was one of the better laws that the Council had come up with.

Persephone stormed over to him. Setting down her designer purse gently on the table, her eyes brewed with anticipation of an impending storm.

"What is wrong, my sweet?" Mero asked, fluffing his purple collar, so it stood erect again.

"That stupid bitch won Fall Queen, she wins everything, that and…………" Trailing off before Mero found out the real reason for her anger. She smiled saccharinely.

"Shall we dance?" Extending his hand to his beloved.

"Of course." Persephone batted her eyelashes and extended her hand coyly.

"Can you believe that bimbo?" Niobe arched an eyebrow at Persephone's display for Mero.

"Would you like to dance?" Jason bended over her hand.

"Sure." Niobe's voice froze on that word as she saw Morpheus wrapped around that girl from his Art class, Chiara.

Jealousy flared in her veins, darkening her eyes to an almost indecipherable shade of black. Onyx.

Morpheus watched Jason lead Niobe onto the dance floor, tightening his arms around Chiara. He felt slightly guilty for using her, but she seemed nice enough. Maybe I could be happy dating her………….no Niobe is the only one for me. Morpheus pined for Niobe from afar.

"Attention students, please go out onto the field to see the fireworks display." Principal Hammon announced.

A trickle of fear ran down Neo's spine. This is it………..

As the entire student body walked outside. The sudden burst of beautiful fire shocked everyone. Silence filled the outside, then applause burst out.

Neo waited and nothing happened. Breathing a sigh of relief, he closed his eyes for a second.

An explosion echoed through the air, the movements shaking the building, down to its foundation.

Neo opened his eyes. His last sight was of Trinity running to the gym, "Neo I have to go………I'll be back."

"Trinity." Opening his eyes, Neo turned his head to the side. She wasn't standing there. "Trinity." Neo's tone took on a desperation, that'd he didn't hear, but he was too busy looking for her.

Running through the mass of people, he searched for a red dress. As he came to the bottom of the stairs. He saw blood flowing down each stone step like a river……..just like my dream predicted………damn it why did it have to come true?

"Trinity." Neo screamed digging his fingers into his eyes. He couldn't bear to look. A sound propelled him to open his eyes and look.

A deadly vision in black, covered from head to foot. She stood there, her eyes rolled back in her head and she tumbled down the stairs. Neo dived and caught her before she could fall and hit the stairs.

"Persephone wake up." Neo tapped her cheek gently.

Lowering his head to see if she was breathing. A movement caught his eye.

The gym door flew open, blown off its hinges. A blast of air blew out. Neo flew back, Persephone in his arms.

"Trinity." Neo screamed. His heart shattered into a thousand pieces. "Nooooooooooooo."

Persephone lay motionless in his arms, an evil smile on her lips. No way the bitch could've survived that…………………Neo's all mine………….I'll help him get over her.
