Sorry for not updating, I think I haven't in close to a month. i have an idea where I want the story to go but for now can everyone tell me if I should put the surprising twist soon or after.

I don't own anything, they all belong to the wonderful Jennifer Estep.

Chapter 7

The next few weeks I got to know Josh well and I was seriously in like. He was just so sweet like how he always brought me fries when he found out how much I loved them. Even Logan liked him, only Gwen had a bad feeling about him. She and Logan were dating now. I was glad she was making him happy but didn't pay any attention to her at all. That night Josh and I went to see a movie and got dinner. Students were rarely let off campus but with the winter holiday coming up everyone started feeling festive. We would be going to a ski resort and everyone was excited.

After the movie Josh walked me to my dorm and I smiled at him. He took my hands in his, dwarfing mine.

I looked up at him weirdly.

"Aza, I've been hanging out with you for a few weeks and you're just an amazing person. I love how you can beat me in combat without trying, how you love to eat fries and that there is no limit on how much you can eat of that. I love how your eyes sparkle in the light when you're smiling and I love your laugh. Will you be my girlfriend?"

I looked at him shocked, this wasn't what I was expecting, but I slowly smiled brilliantly, "I would love to," feeling absolutely happy.

Josh grinned to and leaned down to kiss me. It was soft and sweet and all sorts of amazing. When I went back into my shared room with Morgan, I was just about floating with a smile on my face.

She took one look at me and just shook her head, laughing, "You've got it bad."

The next morning I got a text from Josh saying he was going for coffee and wondered if I wanted anything. I texted him back saying I would meet him there and to get me a hot chocolate. It was a Saturday so we got the morning off before having special classes in the afternoon. Both Josh and I had gym today. Some days I had ancient languages as an elective but today both Josh and I had the same classes. I couldn't wait to hang out with him. I grabbed my grey pea coat and slipped on my Uggs. I put a silver dagger in my purse, put a silver poison tipped bobby pin in my hair and raced out of my dorm. I exited the gates and started to walk across the street. I started to text Logan where I was going but then something from behind reached out and covered my mouth and nose, my eyes started to widen. I smelled something sweet before blacking out.

I woke up in a dark room which was clearly someone's basement. I was tied to a chair. I tugged at the restraints but they were clearly not going to give. I realized I had stashed a dagger in my Uggs because I wore these boots so often and started to reach my hand towards my ankle. It was hard with the restraints tied so tightly. I could fell my blood soaking the rope.

The door banged open blinding me. I immediately straitened and pretended to be trying to get out of my bindings. A light switch was flipped and my eyes slowly adjusted to the light. I saw a Preston standing there.

He sneered, "Oh look how the mighty have fallen, you use to think you were so much better then me," he chuckled before getting back to business, "where did your mommy dearest hid the dagger?"

"What dagger?" I spat at him. Preston came over and slapped in the face, hard. My cheek stung. He repeated the question over and over again with me not answering him and him slapping me or kicking me each time. Finally, seeing that he wouldn't get anything out of me, he scowled and left the room.

I blinked back the tears that threatened to flow; I wasn't going to cry in front of these monsters. They didn't even deserve to see me cry. A lone tear however, crawled down my cheek. I was sure I had a few broken bones and I was definitely going to bruise. I heard voices outside the room.

She won't tell us anything. I told you she wouldn't know anything. Her mother isn't Grace Frost. Grace was the stepmother. We should have taken Gwen, she would know. It was a lost cause kidnapping her.

What?

Well? What do you think? I know there is a cliffhanger but I thought it would be interesting to end it there. I will update soon if things don't change on me. I am planning to stay by my computer but you never really know. If there any any mistakes or the like, please also comment on it so I can make this the best possible. Please update and have a safe and awesome holiday.
