"So, do you have any plans on Friday?" Jill asks me on Monday during lunch. These past few days went pretty well and not threatening with Dylan or Mr. Walsh. No phone call or hearing from the Dagger family but I kind of forgot about them. Dylan and I still flirted around during school last week and during the weekend I stayed at home and did nothing at all.

I wanted to think of an excuse to miss prom but I got nothing. I take my phone out and kind of lost track of the dates after leaving the mansion. I go on my calendar and I open my mouth wide in shock. I've been thinking of other things but I forgot that it's April. My birthday is this Thursday. Well, now I have an excuse.

"I totally forgot, it's my birthday this Thursday."

"And? That's Thursday, what about Friday?"

"That's the point Jill, I'm going out to dinner with my family on Friday." I lie. She takes a bite into her apple and starts to chew like a cow.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sad you can't come."

"Yeah, bummer." I try to show my best sad voice while I pout my lip.

"Wait! Can you come decorate the gym on Thursday though? After school?" I lose appetite from eating my buttered bagel and I move it to the side.

"I guess I'll just do that." I look up and across the cafeteria, I come eye-to-eye with Dylan. He winks at me and Jill turns around, noticing.

"Ow that's sad. Dylan is going to be at prom."

"Well, it's not like I was going to go with him."

"But you guys have a thing. You guys give that lusty eye contact to each other once in a while." I roll my eyes, if only Jill knew that this whole relationship between Dylan and I is a lie. I'm just trying to find out answers.

"And everyone is freaking out because Mr. Walsh is going to be there chaperoning." I shoot my eyes up to her and I see her face become red with blush.

"Oh is he really?" I ask nicely and she nods.

"Yeah, all the girls are going to ask if they can dance with him." I look down at my bagel and I rethink about everything. Maybe I can sneak in the gym and try and see if he has anything hiding in his classroom. Maybe I can find answers.

The bell rings and Jill gets up in shock, chewing on her apple and trying to finish it. I throw my bagel at the nearest garbage and I tell Jill I have to go. She waves bye and goes the other way while I head up the stairs. I keep on walking but suddenly, a pair of arms wrap around my waist.

"Oh Diana it's so fun playing with you but sad that you will be gone soon."

"Who says I'm not playing with you also?" His fingers tighten around my skin while we walk through the crowd of students in the hallway.

"If you try to do something, it won't work. You'll just get yourself killed."

"We'll see about that."

"Why don't you tell someone about me and Mr. Walsh, mhm?"

"Because if I do, Mr. Walsh will hurt the people I love, especially my family."

"At least you listen." He replies back and suddenly, I'm in a dark room. He must have used vampire speed and brought me somewhere. It looks like the teachers longue when he flicks on the lights. He walks back to me and I hear the bell ring to go to class. I roll my eyes, walking to the door but he guards it.

"I need to go to class."

"It's not a big deal if you go late." Dylan's hands find my waist and we both move backwards until my back hits the table teachers eat on. Hopefully no teachers walk in on us.

"Fine, unless you answer a question of mine."

"If it's a debatable one then okay."

"Who else is an assistant for Mr. Walsh besides you?" I ask, leaning closer to his body. A smirk is on his lips and he lets out a low chuckle.

"Who says I would tell my victim?"

"Because I will do this." I bring my head to his neck and I plant a trail of kisses. He flinches at my touch but his breath hitches. I bring his cold skin between my lips and I suck his skin, tasting like soap and smells like cologne. "Now." Kiss "Will." Kiss. "You." Kiss. "Tell." Kiss. "Me?" I go lower and I bite his collar bone, a groan escaping from his mouth. Thank you Dylan for wearing a V-neck shirt.

"It's four other boys."

"Your friends?"

"Yeah."

"Who?"

"Troye, Sam, Issac, and Oden." I know them. They all hang out with Dylan.

"But why do they want to kill me and end the Prophecy?" All of a sudden, the door opens and Mr. Walsh walks in. Dylan turns around and his face runs pale. Mr. Walsh looks quite angry and he's looking down at Dylan.

"Diana, go to class or I will kill you right now." I walk out of the door but before shutting the door, he stops Dylan and tells him to stay in the longue. They shut the door and I don't move. I want to hear what they are saying.

"What the fuck are you doing?" Mr. Walsh says and Dylan chokes on his words.

"Nothing!"

"Oh really, so hooking up with that human is nothing?" I press my ear up against the door and I hear everything they are saying. "We want her dead, Dylan. Not to play around with her."

"Then why don't we do it know."

"Because she's not the only one I want to kill. You want vengeance from the Dagger family right? Except killing one, let's kill all and she'll be leverage."

"How about if she finds out about you?" What does he mean?

"We'll deal with her when that happens."

"And what will that be?"

"Just like how it started, killing her." Dylan sighs. "Is there a problem? Is she changing your mind? You volunteered and I am paying you."

"I know, she's not, I'm fine."

"Good, because I wasn't the one who killed your brother was I?"

"No."

"Good, stay away from her and shut your mouth or you will get hurt." I hear feet shuffling around so I sprinted away from the door and to another hallway.

This is going out of hand and I do not want my life to end. Whether saving the Dagger family too, I want to save myself. They aren't doing anything about it but I will. I will do anything to save myself from these monsters.
