Slamming my locker, I startle a few people walking past. It has been a week since my birthday, I haven't slept in ages. I spend most of my time trying to track down the 'Flame Vipers' before the 'Black Roses' find me wandering the street.
"You look like death." Jaden says with a fake look of disgust on his face.
"Yeah and if you say that again you will be dead." I growled, but he wasn't kidding I do look awful. His face immediately turns scared.
"So what's up Miss Grumpy."Kaiden sympathetically asked.
"I haven't been sleeping properly." I grumble while walking down the hallway.
"Well why?" Ryder spoke up following behind with Kaiden, Jacob and Caleb.
"Nightmares, worries, things on my mind." I sigh, fed up with not sleeping and constantly worrying.
Jayden slings an arm around my shoulder and I lean into him. "Hey there's this party on Friday why don't we go." Oh yeah take a tired girl to a party. After seeing my face at his crazy idea he explains further "It will take your mind of your worries." he stops me from walking, places both his hand on my shoulders, looks me in the eye with his dazzling green eyes, he starts doing a puppy face.
Don't crack. It doesn't bother you. Its not cute. My eye twitches before I blurt out "Fine, okay, just don't do the puppy face again please." I pinch his cheeks and he slaps my hands away. I giggle before walking of to the canteen.

I run down the apartment building stairs in my Black jeans, black hoodie, black top, black combat bots and my black mask. I'm going for the colour black theme if you haven't noticed. I'm not robbing a bank, but I am meeting someone.
In the deserted warehouse, rusty metal is stacked up. Bits and pieces scattered on the floor and the echo of my boots on the cold floor, when I breathe a cloud forms in my face. The pitch black sky shoots through the holes in the roof of the building, the stars twinkling from up above. It's magical.
Other footsteps echo through the building which knocks me out from admiring this place. "I see you've got your mask on, Killer." He taunts.
"So what? Doesn't make me a coward" I bark back at him. "Look I just want some information, that's all." I try and get on with this as fast as possible.
"What do you want to know then?" He asks, getting the idea I don't want to be out in the cold for longer than I have to.
"You've obviously heard of the 'Flame Vipers' I want to know what you know about them." I demanded crossing my arms over my chest.
"The only things I know is that it's apparently a young male who's the leader, took over from his father and they own a mansion about thirty minutes away from here on the nice side of the town." He admits.
"That it?" I ask suspiciously, eyeing him up.
"Look kid, don't do anything stupid. These guys an be vicious. I'll text you the address of the house."
"Thanks for the advice." I nod my head at him before turning, walking out the warehouse and down the miserable roads.

"Lets go partay!" Justin screams as we enter the house. It's the Friday night and as said I'm at the party.
I chuckle at his behaviour before heading straight to the kitchen, separating me from the guys. Walking in I notice that the five people here are two girls from my English and three guys who are from my maths. Ignoring their curious stares I stroll over the bottles of alcohol and pick up the full bottle of Vodka. I spin the cap of before chugging it down. I breathe out once I take the bottle of my lips.
"Woah, Crystal slow down." Dustin a brown haired, muscular boy says.
"Nope." I say popping the 'p' with a smile on my face. I skip out the kitchen with my bottle of Vodka. Skipping around I find the people with drinks, clink our drinks together then take a drink of my Vodka
"Hey guys." I speak, jumping over the sofa and worming my way into the circle. "What we playing." I wonder, taking a drink. Good thing I'm not a light weight.
"Never have I ever." Hunter says. There's eight of us playing and abut six watching. "Here you are." He passes everyone a beer.
"Okay, who's first?" Hunter asks.
"I will." Harry volunteers. "Never have I ever... had sex" Half the group took a sip of their drink. We worked our way around the group.
"Never have I ever been arrested." Katie says. I take a sip with a couple others.
"Never have I ever murdered someone." Isaac says.
"Seriously bro, who here is going to of murdered someone." Hunter laughs. You'll be surprised.
"I couldn't think of any." He defends. I nervously stare at my bottle moving my finger on the rim of the bottle wondering if I should, it was the rules, but everyone would be frightened of me. Instead of doing it I carried on with the game. "Never have I ever egged a house." I chuckled as most of the group took a sip.

My back and head turned cold in the mater of seconds, my clothing sticks to my body and my hair drenched. I spin round and stand up so fast I was like the Flash. "Oops sorry didn't see you there."She fake apologies, she doesn't look drunk, but maybe I could be wrong.
"What the hell you bitch. What was that for?" I shout making everyone's eyes snap to me as some other people from outside the room pile into see what the commotion is.
"I'm not a bitch" she seethes and before I know hat happened she punches me in he face. My face whips to the left and my wet hair hits my face, my head moves, but my body doesn't. There are a chorus of oo's
"Did you just hit me?" I question shocked by her actions. She smirks as I hold my jaw and move it up and own he make sure its not broken.
"What you gonna do? You wont do shit!" she threatens.
"Your wrong about that, but I'm in a good mood." Not wanting to fight I start heading towards the door but don't even walk two steps when I hear here shout "I wasn't wrong about your parents leaving you. And your family issues as that's why you went crazy and punched me because you know I was and am right." She's asking to get punched.
I stop in my tracks an spin around, I shrug off everyone's eyes that are staring too intensely and walk over to her. "You don't know anything bout me or my family, so shut the fuck up." I roar.
"Oh but your wrong." As she sees my confused face she continues. " I know how your ex cheated on you, but with your best friend, that was low. One of my personal favourites is when you left your seventeen year old brother with nothing." Whispers start around the room. How does she know all this though.
"B-but h-h do you know?" I stutter.
"I know everything like when you sho.."I cut her of knowing exactly what she was about to say by slamming my fist into her face. That she did not expect. I straddle her and continue to punch her, but obviously she knew fighting so she flipped us over so she was straddle me and throws punch after punch, I blocked all of them and then did a backwards roll making her fall off me.
We stand up and stare at each other for a few minutes until it all clicked. "You bitch." I shout before running to her, ducking under her right punch and force my right shoulder into her stomach knocking her into the wall. "I didn't expect him to get a new whore and make her do his work." I smile as she slides down he wall from the impact. She tries to stand up but I'm there next to her before she can. I wrap my hand around her throat and pick her up of the floor and hold her to the wall. She gasps for air and scratches at my hand but I don't stop instead I whisper in her ear "You don't know anything about me and if I was you, I'd get out of there fast." I let her drop the floor, I turn around and see the shocked faces, I stroll half way to the door before turning around and saying "Tell Nick that I'm stronger than I was three years ago, he can try, but he won't succeed." I run straight out the house and to my apartment not stopping once to speak to the guys that are shouting me.
He won't win. Not with his little spies. Not with his gang. Never.
