She kept running, she didn't want to stop. She just wanted to get away from that place. She eventually stopped in the park and sat down on a park bench, her head in her hands.

Well this has been a weird day she commented to herself. I betray my friends, I have to admit something that I'd never admit to myself. My father slash boss gets shot, a suicide or not. It's times like these I wish I was normal.

She suddenly realised that she wasn't alone. She looked up although she knew who it was already.

"Hi Kai," she said drearily. "You're here to kill me, right?"

"No," he told her simply. "I'm here to thank you."

Did I hear that right? She asked herself, confused.

"You mean you used it?" she asked. He nodded. "But… Why did you trust me?"
"Because of what you said," he told her. "And because…" he seemed to hesitate but she still waited.

Is he going to say it? She asked herself. She wasn't expecting him to. No, he's not like that. Even if he did he wouldn't admit it, right?

"I love you."

No way she told herself. She smiled to herself, stood up and hugged him.

"Thank you," she whispered and then realised something. "But what about what you said earlier?" She looked up at him.

"It doesn't matter if you are a bitch, the important thing is that you're my bitch."

At Rhyla

I was definitely right she thought to herself as she stood in the hallway and watched as her father's body was moved. One weird day, and I think it's about to get weirder.

"Hilary?" she heard someone ask from behind her.

"Hi Maria," she said drearily. "What's up?"

"You're in love," she replied simply.

"What?" she asked, confused.

"You're in love," she repeated, smiling at her slightly.

"I am not," she protested, blushing slightly.

"It's all right, it's nothing to be ashamed of," Maria told her.

"Can we talk about something else please?" she asked.

"Fine," she told her. "Oh yeah, you're the heir aren't you?"

"Was," she corrected her.

"What?" she asked.

"I was the heir, but since my father's dead then that means…" she began but was interrupted by someone.

"No you're not," a man said who was standing in front of her. "You're unfit to do so."

"But he said…" she began to protest.

"Yes, but he wasn't planning to die today, was he?" he asked sarcastically. "Forget it, you're too young to control something as big as this."

"Actually," someone said from behind him, she seemed to hesitate. "He did plan to die today."

"What?" Hilary asked.

"It was a suicide," the woman told her.

"He planned for me to be too tied down with Rhyla so I couldn't let anything get in the way," she said to herself.

"You're forgetting rule 7.7B, which clearly states that no one under the age of 18 is allowed to control Rhyla," the man told them.

Did he memorize that thing? Hilary asked herself. Man, I didn't even bother to read it.

"One word," Maria began. "So? We don't care about the rules."

"But what makes you think that a worldwide company would listen to some kid?" he asked.

"She may be many things but she is no kid," Maria told him angrily.

"No, he's right," Hilary told her. "I don't want the job anyway, I'll stick to the fieldwork thanks."

"Whoa, you're sure?" Maria asked her, confused by her sudden response.

"Yes," she replied.

"But then who should take over?" Maria asked her.

"You guys have a vote but as my only order of business as boss I say I'm leaving," she told them as she walked away from them.

Plz R&R! And there is a sequel already up!
