I slowly crept down the staircase and was led into a dark room with only candles as the light. Nick stood with Stacy and they laughed together. Rosita was holding a bottle of champagne in one hand and some guys were taking shots. Then I concluded they were celebrating - celebrating the fact that I had just shot Jackson. But little did Nick know who Jackson was to me.

"Did no one invite me?" I asked confidently whilst Nick stepped forward, Stacy rolled her eyes and Rosita smiled.

"What are you doing here? I thought I told you to rest," said Nick who snatched the cigarette packet off Stacy.

"I needed to talk to you," I snapped whilst Stacy lunged forwards. "Alone."

We walked out to the corridor. I took a deep breath.

"I wanted to apologize. Y'know, earlier. When I shouted at you." I rambled.

"It's understandable," He spoke. "I reacted the same when I made my first kill. But what you need to remember that this person wanted to harm you. Us."

"Yes but -"

"No buts, Scarlett. You don't know this person so it's okay." He walked back into the room. I closed my eyes for a moment and opened them back up again. I was in bed.

"Again, Scarlett?" Nick asked me while covering me up with a blanket.

"What happened?" I asked, completely oblivious to what was going on.

"You fainted. For the third time today." He sighed.

"What's wrong with me?" I cried.
Nick looked around the room frantically, looking for something. He grabbed a paper bag from behind the couch.
"The doctor told me to give you this," He handed it over.

I opened the bag slowly, and if this was true, it would change my life forever.
