”You can lie with your mouth but not your eyes. I've seen the way you two look at each other. At least Ana had the courage to face her feelings, which is more than I can say for my own brother” Marie ended leaving the room slamming the door behind her.

Seb stood in the semi dark room staring at the door his sister just walked through. There isn't a word to describe the level of shock he's in from their conversation. However her final words hit him the hardest. Maybe he was denying what he felt.

If he really did love Ana, then he did make the biggest mistake of his life…

”You realize Seb was involved in her escape?” Talon said to Marcos as soon as Seb left the office. Marcos was shuffling about gathering up papers he had thrown earlier

”Possibly” Marcos stated off handedly. He continued to furiously scan the documents in his hands.

Talon really didn't care that bitch escaped. The scars on his chest from their 'encounters' never healed. Talon couldn't believe Marcos was being such a moron about this whole situation. He knew Marcos was desperate for revenge on the king but he also knew Ana would never agree to that. Unless Marcos threatened her in some way.

Talon was still pissed at Marcos for sending him away to protect the little brat. It's okay because he was able to do some research on the girl while he was gone. Talon wouldn't tell Marcos that he knew exactly where the girl would have gone. He was able to find out the girl was a runaway from Mercy Falls. Talon was sure that's where she would go. It works out perfectly for him really.

His plan was to assist Marcos in the search and when the trail leads to Ana simply throw him off. Why would he do this? Because he wanted her dead that's why! And if Marcos finds her that won't be able to happen.

But if Talon finds her alone he can finally finish what he started. The best part is Marcos will never know, now that the dumb girl ran off. Marcos will just think she vanished. It's perfect!

Talon tried to hide his glee as he followed a frantic Marcos outside. He saw Seb with the other guards at the front gates going over strategies. Talon knew without a doubt the love stuck idiot helped her escape. What Seb didn't know was he only really helped put a nail in her coffin…

Ana Pov

Just walk in with you head high. These people can't hurt you anymore.

I'm currently pacing on the roof of my old high school talking myself into entering. Last night when I got to town I got a motel room to stay in. From there I snuck into the school and registered myself for classes. The reason I did this is because I miss Simon like crazy. School is the only way I can be around him without him thinking I'm some sort of stalker. Until he finds out I'm in all his classes. Now if I could only get the courage to go into the building it might help.

I pat down my windblown hair and look around for any witnesses before jumping off the building. Luckily my stalling caused me to miss first period so everyone was still in class.

As soon as I open the main doors the bell rings and the hallways flood with students. Crap! Stay calm Ana.

The crowd parts as I make my way through.

All the familiar faces of kids I grew up look at me without any hints of recognition in their eyes. I stand taller and add a smile to my lips. This is what I was hoping for. I begin to listen to the whispers they don't think I can hear

”Who is she?”

”Is she new?”

”Wow she's hot!”

”Her skin is flawless”

”I bet she's a bitch”

”I want her hair”

”I want her body!”

”I want her!”
