Mia POV

Thoughts of Eddie filled my head as I got ready for class the next morning. He didn't like me. He hated me, never wanted to see me again. What had happened?

All of a sudden, it all added up in my mind. Emilie. She was the one to speak to him before he completely dumped me. She must've brainwashed him.

Before I even knew what I was doing, I was out the door on my way to look for Emilie. I found her leaning against the side of the school talking to Adrian Ivashkov.

"If you'll excuse me for a second Adrian, I need to borrow Emilie," I demanded.

Adrian shot me an amused glance and for a second looked like he wasn't going leave, but after I glared at him for a few more seconds he backed away. "Talk to you later Emilie," he winked at her flirtatiously. Emilie rolled her eyes.

After he had left, I freaked. "All right, what did you do to Eddie?" I glared at her and she looked at me, confused.

"I didn't do anything, he came to me and told me what was wrong, I barely had to say anything before he poured his whole life story out," she replied.

"Look, I don't know what you did to him, but I'm going to find out. I've been friends with Eddie for awhile and I'm not going to let some slut mess up our friendship." I heard a gasp behind me and turned to see a very angry Eddie.

"Leave Emilie alone," he stated through gritted teeth.

"Eddie, she's done something to you, I know she has. You wouldn't normally act like this," I pleaded with him. I attempted to grasp his hands in mine but he quickly moved away.

"I told you Mia, I can't deal with you, just leave me alone. I'm happy with Emilie right now, she's gorgeous, and she comes with no baggage."

"Eddie, I need you. What if Tyler hurts me again?" I frowned at the thought of him using his spirit powers on me.

"Well, then that's too bad, find someone else to protect you, someone that doesn't care about what an emotional train wreck you are."

I gasped at his cruel words and stared in his eyes, looking for a trace of any emotions he still possessed for me. His eyes were blank. I sighed, realized that I had lost the battle and headed to my class.

Tyler slid into the seat closest to me. "Trouble in paradise?" he smirked. The way he sat in his seat looking smug, like he knew Eddie and I were never going to work out, pissed me off.

"Hey, Tyler?" I asked sweetly while I toyed with a strand of my blonde hair. He stared at me with interest.

"Yes?" he asked with that same smug smile on his face. Oh, I wanted to punch him so bad.

"Fuck you," I replied as I took an empty seat by Christian.

"You okay?" Christian asked as he looked at my worn face. I sighed and nodded.

Lissa moved to take the seat next to me. She took a look at Tyler's shocked face and laughed. "What did you do Mia? I'm thinking Rose is rubbing off on you."

"Well, I just suggested that he stay out of my business in a slightly harsh way," I said, trying to look as innocent as possible. Tyler glared at me and I smiled back at him.

All of a sudden his face scrunched up in concentration. An excruciating pain shot through my head. I gasped and Christian and Lissa looked at me in concern.

Lissa turned to look at Tyler. "Stop doing that to her Tyler, you're really hurting her."

The pain felt like multiple pairs of scissors being jammed into my head. I felt like it wouldn't be long until I blacked out. I faintly heard Mrs. Carmack asking what was wrong with me. Soon, the pain ceased. I looked up to see Tyler smiling at me creepily.

Everyone in the class was staring at me. Mrs. Carmack looked at me in worry and then suggested that I go to the infirmary.

"No it's fine, it was just a minor headache, it's gone now," I told her.

"Mia, that wasn't just a headache, you were screaming and shaking, I think you should go to the infirmary," Mrs. Carmack suggested.

"I'll take her!" Tyler practically leaped out of his chair.

Lissa looked at Tyler with worry and said, "No, Mrs. Carmack, I'll take her, it's totally fine.

Lissa and Tyler continued to argue about who should take me when finally, Mrs. Carmack just eventually said, "Mr. Ozera, you take her. These other two students seem way too eager to get out of my class." Lissa sunk into her seat, satisfied and Tyler scowled at Christian.

Christian helped me up and walked me out the door. The minute we were outside the class, he started questioning me. "What the heck is going on Mia?"

I sighed and sunk against the wall. "It started with Tyler…"

By the time I had finished telling him the whole story, Christian ran his fingers through his hair. "You've gotten yourself into quite the situation," he stated.

"I know, I never wanted any of this to happen. I just wanted a peaceful life after Spokane."

"And what do you want now?" he questioned.

"I want Eddie! I want all of my friends. I want a normal life without any creepy stalkers named Tyler." I paced through the hallway, stressed.

"Well, we will try to fix everything but first, we need to get you to the infirmary or Mrs. Carmack will get suspicious. I'm one of her favorite students currently, and I don't have many teachers who actually like me so I kind of don't want to fall into her bad graces."

I laughed and followed him down the hall. When we reached the infirmary, the nurse informed me that there was nothing wrong with me and soon released me. There wasn't much of class left, so Christian and I walked around the school.

We eventually ran into Rose. "Hey, how are you doing Mia? What's the latest drama?" she joked.

"I'm honestly sick of this, I don't want to be the one with all of the drama," I exclaimed.

"Honey, none of us want you to be the one with all the drama either," Rose said as Christian nodded his head in agreement.

Lissa saw us walking and quickly ran to catch up with us. "Oh my goodness! That was absolutely horrible of Tyler!"

Rose stopped. "What was so horrible of Tyler?" she asked.

"Oh it was nothing, he just inflicted a bit of pain on me in magic class." I informed her.

"A bit? You were shaking Mia!" Lissa exclaimed.

"Honestly, it's okay. I'd rather he do it to me than any of you." I attempted to reassure them.

"Mia, I don't even want to hear it. He shouldn't be harming you. I think I might have to have a talk with him," Rose stated.

"No! Don't Rose! I don't want him to do anything to you!" I shouted in fear.

Rose sighed. "Fine I won't, but he better stop." She threatened.

"I suppose since everyone's so sad, that this isn't the time to mention that I'm having a ball?" Lissa asked.

"Lissa! That's so awesome! I can't wait. It's the perfect thing to get my mind off of everything."

She smiled at me. "I'm glad you like the idea." We talked for awhile about it until Christian eventually left.

"Party planning is for girls," he stated as he walked off.

Rose gazed after him, jealous that he didn't have to plan. Lissa seemed to realize this and said, "Go ahead Rose, do something. You don't have to plan with us." It didn't take long to convince her to leave. She spotted Dimitri and asked him to spar with her. As she asked him, she had a certain spark in her eye. I was going to have to ask her if there was anything going on between the two of them.

By the time Lissa and I had finished planning the ball, it was dark out. I headed towards my room and stopped when I saw Eddie and Emilie kissing on a bench. I coughed loudly and Emilie looked up guiltily. Eddie however, pretended not to notice me and tried to kiss Emilie again.

I walked to my room and collapsed on the bed. I was so sick of Eddie. I needed to find a new guy. I drifted off to sleep while trying to think of my perfect guy. I had a problem though. The only guy I could picture was Eddie.

I dreamed I was in a palace of some sort. It was truly gigantic. It sort of scared me. Everything around me seemed like it would break. On one side of the room was a huge scarlet bed with a canopy draping down over it. On the other side of the room was a mahogany table with a romantic meal for two on it. Roses were scattered all over the room and many glass statues were perched on end tables.

In the middle of the room was Tyler. I stared at him shocked. I started to ask what he was doing but then remembered what Lissa had said about how he could dream walk. I looked down and saw that I was wearing an elegant pink dress that touched the floor.

"Tyler, get out of my dream." I demanded.

"No can do princess. You see, I want to talk to you. Since your little gang will be surrounding you all day tomorrow, I don't think I will be able to talk to you. Therefore, I shall talk to you now."

I took a look at him. That smug grin was still plastered on his face and he was wearing a fancy tuxedo.

"Your fancy tuxedo doesn't impress me, you know." I told him.

"I can take it off then," he smiled and winked at me.

"Ew, please don't." I said as I took a step away from him.

He frowned. "One day, you will be mine. You will love me as much as I love you."

"The only emotion I feel for you is disgust. Now LET ME GO!"

I ripped myself out of the dream and woke up shaking. I hated Tyler, him and his little smug grin. I put on some clothes and went for a run.

While running, I ran into Dimitri of all people. "Dimitri, what are you doing at 4 in the morning?" I asked him.

"I always work out in the morning," he informed me.

"Your insane, but I have a question."

"And what would that question be? I barely ever talk to you Mia Rinaldi."

"That doesn't matter. You talk to people that I talk to, and I'm talking to you now, so let me question."

He chuckled. "Okay, question away."

"Do you and Rose have a thing or something?"My question seemed to catch him off guard.

"What do you mean by 'thing'?" he asked.

I laughed. "Do you and Rose like each other? Are you dating or engaging in sexual activity or something?"

He blushed like mad and I took it as a yes. I squealed and ran to Rose's room. Dimitri called after me, but I ignored him. I pounded loudly on Rose's door.

"Unless this is a person announcing that I've won the lottery, leave me alone!" Rose grumbled. I pounded on her door even louder. "It's not even 5 in the morning yet, who the heck is this?" she shouted.

"Open up Rose!" I yelled back.

"Leave me alone Mia, I'm sleeping!"She growled.

"Rosemarie Hathaway, there is a water fountain conveniently located by your door. I'm really thinking about blowing your door down with water if you don't open the door in 10 seconds. 1, 2, 3..." I started to count when her door sprang open.

Rose stood in the door with a grumpy look on her face. "You better have a good reason for waking me up this early."

"You and Dimitri!" I squealed. She looked at me suspiciously then pulled me into her room.

"What about Dimitri and I?" she asked.

"You guys like each other!" I exclaimed. She gasped and blushed a bit.

"How do you know that?" she asked.

"Well, it might be the fact that you both gaze at each other all the time, or the the fact that Dimitri blushed fiercely when I confronted him about him this morning."

She stared at me, amazed that I had figured out her secret. "You can't tell anyone! No one knows, Mia."

"My lips are sealed," I happily replied. An idea then popped up into my head. "Let's make Lissa's ball a masquerade so that you and Dimitri will be able to be together and no one will notice!"

"I really don't think that's a good idea," Rose started to say when I interrupted her.

"No, it's perfect! Absolutely perfect! I'm going to suggest the idea to Lissa right now!" I exclaimed.

"Two problems. One, it's 5 in the morning. Next, Lissa can't know I like Dimitri."

"Don't worry, I'll just tell her that it would be a fun experience. As for the time thing, I suppose I could wait a bit to suggest it to her." Rose laughed. "But seriously Rose, this is going to be perfect!"

"Is anything ever perfect?"

"Don't be so cynical Rose, It will be great." Adrenaline shot through my body and I felt happy. I felt like a force to be reckoned with. "Now about Tyler, maybe we have been going about this the wrong way. I think it's time to take action. Since Tyler likes powers so much, how about we use them? It's time to fight fire with fire. Or in this case you could say magic with magic."

Rose smiled. "I was waiting for you to say something like that."

So, thank you so much for reading! I'll update as soon as possible! Happy Thanksgiving! Make my day and review? What does everyone think of Emilie? Is she as innocent as she seems? Talk to me :) have a great day
