Troy put his hand to his cheek he could feel it burn. "I deserved that... and yes of coarse you can talk to me." Troy's cheek wasn't the only thing that was bruised his pride was, but Troy thought to hell with pride. I need to get Sharpay back if it was the last thing he did. "Do you want to talk here or... somewhere else..." Troy looked at Sharpay and hoped she'd forgive him, some how.

"Of course you deserved that Troy, whatcheah think, I'm going to let you lie to me and jump in bed with you" Sharpay replied. "Sorry that was a bad example, we can talk here, its not to crowded" she said. "If I am going to forgive you, I want you to stop working for my father."

Troy looked shocked that she thought he had lied to her, "When have I lied to you... If I did it was to only protect you. I, Me, with out your father or not, I want to keep you safe... S-s-stop wo-wo-working for your father... that is a lot easier said then done...he won't be pleased at all. But for you I'd risk my life if it'd make you happy. Just tell me what to do. I'll do anything. Just name it. I want you back into my life. I don't deserved you, you could do sooo much better. But I need you..." Troy looked into her eyes. Troy kneeled down on one knee. "Sharpay don't be afraid I will always be with you, this is not an engagement ring. This is a promise ring... That I will stay faithful to you. Do you accept... we wouldn't want Petals to have to have divorced parents do you. Think what it'll do to her." Troy smiled looking up at Sharpay. "So what do you say?"

Sharpay could not help but laugh and the last comment about Petals, she smiled back, "I'm sorry if I hurt or upset you Troy, I would like you to stop working for my father, but I won't force you to, if working for you makes you truly and deeply happy inside. I just don't want you to get hurt," Sharpay paused for some breath, and then carried on, "I adore the promise ring. And I accept Troy, I don't want Petals to have to not see us together now" A glowering smile hit bighted up her face. "What next?" She added to the convosation with HER Troy.

Troy was the happiest he'd ever been to have Sharpay back and that she accepted his ring. She was his again, and he wasn't going to allow it to be any different. Troy jumped up and kissed Sharpay he swung her around in a circle, he felt as he could fly without a broom or charm or do anything. Troy let Sharpay down because she seemed a little dizzy to him. "I think we should wait a while till we talk again about your father... and me leaving..." Troy could feel his arm hurting, her father was very angry...but not at him luckily. Something in Evan's plans had went wrong. What part Troy did not know but it wasn't pretty. Troy could only see a green light. He knew what had happened. Troy bowed his head, in the remembrance of a loss comrade, who had not done his job, and then killed by his master.

Trying to stand up straight after been swung around in circles by Troy, Sharpay spoke, "We should not go and see him my father tonight, nor talk of him. You are in to much pain. I hope he wont find me after this" She said still spinning on the spot, "After all you are all I need now, and I'm going to work on making you the happiest man alive Troy" she carried on. Sharpay could sense Troy's mark hurting but did not say anything. But still being dizzy she fell down laughing aloud.

Troy told Sharpay to sit down and that he'll be back in a bit. Troy's mark was hurting. He needed to see Matt to see if it was just his... Troy walked out of the joke shop and sent a text message to Matt and asking him if he could come to the candy shop. Troy walked to the candy shop to buy some delicious treats for Sharpay.

Sharpay sat down looking worried as she watched Troy walk out of the joke shop. She knew what it was. The mark had coursed him pain again. She knew it would not stop without getting to her father. Plotting inside her head Sharpay decided that she was going to sneak out later and go and meet her father alone that night, to stop it for once and all.

Matt had been walking from his room at his house for lunch when his phone vibrated in his jean pocket. He read it quickly and took off at a run out the door. As soon as he was out of sight, he appeared next to the pub. From there, he took off running once more, towards the joke shop.

When he got to the door, he knocked on it five times, which is what the message had said to do. He waited for someone to open the door. He hoped that he wasn't too late. He hoped that nothing had happened to anyone. Matt was dark, mysterious and brown attracting a lot of attention. He currently has chocolate brown hair with blonde streaks. He was not the tallest of the fellows coming in at a 5'7" stature yet he gets as much if not more "love" On a visit to the America he found something that he immediately fell in love with and that was Tattoos. He has many and hopes to get more.

Troy sat across the street of the joke shop saw Matt standing outside the front and yelled to him, "Matt! Over here turn around", Troy could see he didn't know where he was. Troy too lazy to get up and in too much pain sent a little text message over to Matt. The message got to Matt quickly, and he went over to where Troy was sat.

"Oi. Mate, what's wrong? You interrupted my lunch. You know how much I love to eat." Matt said walking over to Troy. He sat down next to him. "What did you do this time? What do you need the charmer to get you out of?"

Troy saw Matt coming, "Matt shut up, and get me somewhere private where we can talk..." Troy tried to stand but falls back down the pain was terrible, unlike any other he's felt.

"We can go back my house. Nobody's there. You're always welcome there anyways. Why didn't you just get a taxi there?" Matt said running the rest of the way over to Troy. He grabbed his arm and wrapped it around his shoulder. "You're going to have to try and walk a bit mate."

Troy's mark was hurting then suddenly it all stopped. He felt his body weight some how relieved, he looked down and felt as if he was floating, "Thanks mate" Troy looked at Matt and could tell that it was not him. Troy looked around seeing someone who was powerful. Troy saw a hooded figure... he knew who it was... "Matt get out of here... make sure Sharpay is ok, protect her... If something happens to me..."

The hooded figure walked gracefully over to Matt and Troy threw the crowd. With more hooded figures around in the background.

Sharpay was still sitting here in the joke shop and could not see Troy anymore but she had seen Matt run like hell over towards the shop where Troy currently was. Twirling her golden hair around her finger the locket, still around her neck began in burn so much it nearly scolded her..

Bekkah, outside near Troy at the time, saw that her mark stopped burning, she looked inside the sweet shop and said, "Oh this is going to be hell" running inside she shouted, "Troy you know Evan's too?" Bekkah looked shocked "No no you you can't..."

Troy looked at Bekkah confused, "How do you have the mark? You've never served my master?" Troy takes a look toward the shop where Sharpay is, "Matt please make sure she's ok I don't want her to come out of that shop. She can't see this... If something happens... I... I..." Troy couldn't finish this sentence He pushed Matt and Bekkah down on the ground, so they wouldn't been hit my a passing gun shot.
