Edit: Edited this chapter and changed slight details with the unknown person.

3rd POV

Senanne remembered it like yesterday after he came to her and saved her. His voice echoes in her mind to this day of what he said after he saved her.....................

'Are you okay...Hey it's alright. Here let me help you'

'I'm...alright? T-thank you for going out of your way. How did you do that...' she would say taking his hand. Who is he was her thoughts.

'You shouldn't go to places like this alone, you know'

'It doesn't matter, I'm alone all the time anyways'

'What...why....A girl as beautiful as you would probably have many friends'

'Everyone avoids me like the plague and I am neither beautiful either. You don't understand I wake up to this everyday.....' She frowned slightly before looking up. 'Oh thank you I guess, and how can I make it up to you?'

'Oh. I'm...Sorry? You don't need to make it up to me. You already said thank you enough times and you are welcomed. I'm not around many people either. If you have a family like mine most tend to stray unless they're fortune hunters'

'Oh, uh where are you taking me'

'Where do you live?' Should she tell him where she lives? She decided to trust him.

'726 ShallowVille, Starfort Road'

'Alright....but promise me you are not going to go to one of those alone again. You know, you could always see me if you want. 782 Archway, Merandan-Vixian Plains. You'll know it when you see it.'

...She remembered the conversation a few days later after her secondary school class.

Urk I don't know what to do....What am I doing here....I shouldn't be here. But then again, my feet just brought me here. Maybe I should at least say thank you. I do need to make it up somehow, I'm in debt for him going out of his way to do that, so I must.

Slowly I lifted up my hand and knocked on the door twice. Ugh...what am I doing? Maybe I shouldn't be here and just do it if I happen to run into him again. I don't even know his name, but something is making me want to. Maybe they aren't even home....I should just walk away now and if they are home they wouldn't even know....

'Oh? Hello?' A girl with slightly wavy brown hair said after she opened the door. 'Is there anything I can help you with?'

Oh great someone opened the door.....is that his mother?

Or what if it's his girlfriend? To think why a girl is here to see....to see....to see uhh whatever his name is.

This is quite embarrassing....

'Oh...uhhh...um...I...uh' I stuttered as I bit my lip nervously

'Mer sweetheart, who is at the door?'

Sweetheart? Oh maybe that is actually his sister....that's a little better I guess...She looks about 15 or 16.

'I'm not sure.....maybe one of Ristondany or Kal's friends. I hope it's not Ristondany's. He's such a-Oh! I'm sorry is there a reason you came here?' The girl said, but I couldn't help but wonder why does she not hope it is Ristondany's.

'...Umm I want to say thank...you just tell him that. I don't know how to express thank you... ..though'

'Oh for what? I'm sure it's fine...By the way...Ristondany is at a festival but I wouldn't think someone like you would associate with someone like him. You don't seem the type to party or do festivals, but Kalin is here'

The more she tells me of this Ristondany makes me want to know what does she have against him, was it him that was there? I was at a festival....so maybe it is him if he does festivals. Urk how embarrassing! I don't even know who is who. I should just leave and thank him properly later!

'Oh...Forgive me!' I yelled before running off.

Jeez how embarrassing....I just....maybe I should've never said anything.

Even he remembered the conversations he had and what happened next.

'...Ristondany what exactly were you doing' The brown haired boy frowned crossing his arms at his sister. He had an irksome expression and he just seemed annoyed.

What does she want now?

'Oh don't give me that, Mercina! I can do what I want!'

'Were you at a festival? You know your not aloud to!'

'Your going to yell to Mom again aren't you! So what if people drink, it's not like I am'

'Has anyone tempted you to?'

'No, no one usually bother us'

'Then how come you end up dating these girls all the time'

'Don't talk about that... They seemed nice and they were hot. How was I supposed to know the last three girls were fortune hunters. I was really upset after it too!' A scowled remained and he thought only of her negativity.

'Well maybe that means you shouldn't try to get with anyone in this stage of life!'

'You don't understand, you're a bitter good-for-nothing sister that tells me what and not to do. Can't I do anything without you yelling at me'

'Maybe you be able to if you weren't do stupid things!'

Stupid things?! Jeez let me live. Let me do whatever I want. I don't want to be stuck doing the right things just because of my family.

Does she not understand I'm not her and I'm not Miss Perfect at everything. I don't care if I do poorly now because when I'm older I will still be able to live freely.

'I don't do stupid things, come on it's not like anything going to happen to me. I can take care of myself, and we got money'

'So you'll pay your way out in life! Pathetic!'

'You both are arguing again?' A blond child of twelve years of age appeared in the hallway.

'Hi Kalin, please don't end up like Ristondany here'

'Are you serious? Stop acting like I'm a stupid person that doesn't care about anything that just goes to festivals and parties to have 'fun' which I clearly do not'

'Are you sure.... You do go to plenty of parties and festivals. How do I know you don't do it for fun. You know I was going to tell you something that is not me yelling at you but now I don't know if I will'

'I'm staying out of this again'

'What?'

'I'm not telling you unless you apologize'

'Fine don't tell me'

'But it was really important I think'

'Then if it is so important, stop threatening with your desires and just tell me the so called important thing'

'Someone came over asking for you'

'So?'

'They wanted to thank you. What did you do this time?'

She still had an irritated voice.

'Oh...that girl from the other day. She was actually really attractive, but she didn't think so'

'Seriously are you trying to get with someone else just like that....right after Bella!'

'I didn't even say I was going to...Piece of advice: Chill the heck out. I going to promise you something. I am not going to with her. Maybe I start new for you. If anything I'll be her friend, and why is it that if someone wants to thank me means that I did something?'

'Because you always do something'

'No I don't, I just helped her. Some guys were chasing her for no darn reason, and I was walking by and knocked them out. It was really easy!'

...

'You...did WHAT?!'

Her screams pierced my ears. Oww my poor ears. I don't want to become deaf.

'I Knocked out three guys, they became unconscious....well I think so. I didn't think they died.'

'

ALMOST DIED?!.....Are you insane... You might be charged for-'

I wish she would calm down

'I'm 13 Mercina! Their not gonna charge someone like me for that. Besides I can just pay it off. Look you just think I come off as some hooky, but I'm not. I'm actually really cool to be around'

'Who told you that?'

'Some people at the intermediate school. Both female and male. I can joke, laugh, and help everyone. Come on you don't know me the way me and everyone else does!'

'I guess so, please prove me wrong I want to get along I really do I don't try to.'

'This time I understand a little bit for getting upset at that, but it was self defense. They saw me and tried to hurt me, so I defended myself. Oh how long ago did that girl come here?'

'Maybe around fifteen or thirty minutes before you arrived'

'Perfect, see you later, I got some catching up to do. Evertson. Ristondany Evertson's my name!'

The wind blows the air everywhere as Ristondany is standing above Senanne as she laid on the grass as he holds out his hand for her. They face the same position as they were that day and recall the moments after.

1st POV

"Here....let me help you" He tells the me holding out his hand with a slight grin on his face as I began to smile

"Thank you, though I am alright"

"Oh, Hahahahah" He laughs lightly for a bit. It sounded pleasant and joyful.

"Oh you started it" I playfully excused him. Then I send him a look.

"I know, I'm just joking it just reminds me of that time"

"What doesn't remind you of that day?" That day was the day everything changed. It changed both of us, and for the better.

"Who knows...." He trailed off as he breathed quietly barely moving his lips.

"But you're absolutely right. Everything reminds me of the past"

"Nothing as well? Just don't dwell on the past too long" He warns me as he stares upon me. His eyes. Incredible. They are so beautiful as they shine. But it is especially beautiful as they sun.

"Wow...Did I ever tell you how beautiful your eyes are" I spoke at last.

"Of course, but every time you say it is a thousand times better, my darling" My hearts skips a beat as it begins to race. I quickly turn away to hide the blush that formed on my cheeks.

"Oh Riston, I-" I began to say before getting interrupted.

"Your phone? Who on earth is calling?" He was agitated. He wanted to spend all his time with me. How sweet. I wonder what it was. ".....And don't think I didn't notice you turning around to hide. You don't have to hide anything from me. It just makes me want you more." He whispered before turning me around to face him. He put both of his hands on my cheeks. I began to smile and bit my lip nervously.

"If it not one of your family members I'll be darned" I spoke slowly and I was still facing him.

"Heh, you don't say" I checked my phone and I couldn't believe what I saw.

"...."

I was utterly speechless. I saw an image and a text sent to me. Blackmail I though angerly. Why do people have to be so spiteful to do things like this. What do I do, what do I do?

"What?" Riston touches my cheek softly. He took away the phone starring at it for a long time. He shook his head muttering words under his breath.

Should I explain it, b-b-but I couldn't even explain it to myself.

".....Rsition......I.....look" I mumbled to him avoiding his eye contract.

"Senna..." I say nothing. "Senna!" He slightly shakes my arms."What...who is this, my dear?" He sill fazes me with the nicknames, even now, with that text and image sent to me.

".......I'm...not sure" I bit my lip nervously again.

"That's of us....Just because of my family they did that I bet...urgk darn! It is illegal to blackmail and people still do it!" He frowns looking up. "Why?" His expression softens as he gentle strokes my cheek. "Who did this? I'll face them and tell them to back off! I tell them to back off! I'll tell....I will tell them to back off...."

Why why why why? After everything was going so great, someone had to do this. What do they want from me. I done nothing. He's done nothing. His family done nothing.

"No....this can't be happening! I'm skipping the academy" I proclaimed. It might be someone from the academy, if it wasn't there would be no way they could make the proposition on telling everyone that goes there.

"Who would you think of did it? And how would anyone know?" He asked again. His expression was furious.

"I told you I don't recognize the number. I don't think it is anyone I'm close with....maybe someone that is mad at me for some reason. But why would anyone be mad at me. I did nothing." I whispered to Riston. I couldn't figure it out. Who would be mad and use me for blackmail? I didn't think I did anything to anyone.

"Let me see your phone again." I handed him his phone. Then he began to read the threat out loud:

             "I know who you are and your schedule has been the same for the last three years. Senanne Deralyn Eason, you've been with the oldest, wealthiest Evertson son all this time. You thought it was just a secret between your families, but it is not. If you want it to remain a secret then I suggest you do what I say. After all, you don't want other students at the SunnyPT Academy getting knowing this secret. Meet me at April Helm Street 42973 in four days as soon as your academy ends for the day.

 Also if you do anything, but go with one of the Evertson I will make sure the ones you stay close to will be the first to know that little secret of yours. And if you get the police or anyone involve, I will do more as well. You don't want anyone to get hurt then do as I say"

"Oh this is going to be so complicated.......I.....I.... d-don't....k-k-know w-what to do" I stuttered as light rivers flowed from my eyes

"Oh Senna, my love.....it will be alright.....you'll see" He launches his arms around me as I hide away upon his maroon colored jacket that laid on my Riston's chest

"...I just don't know. Maybe I should really skip tomorrow. Besides....they are having some of our students go to your school anyways"

"You need to stay with me" I looked up from staring at the ground. I didn't understand.

"What do you mean..."

"Please...you need to calm down"

"Like I'll leave anyways...." I stiffed back tears

"Oh you....." He smiles greatly. "It doesn't matter what anyone thinks, wherever you are, what happens I'll always be there for you. I'll always protect you and I'll never leave. Please... come with me" Riston offers me his hand. Roses form among my cheeks. I took a moment to process everything before speaking.

"Riston..." I blinked and smiled sweetly. "I wouldn't dream of not going....you're everything that I want" I accept as I hold onto him as he doesn't dare to drop me

"It's alright....I'm not going to leave you......I can't stop loving you.......Nothing is going to ever change between us, unless it's for the better....."

"Where....are- oh nevermind" I looked up and saw his house

"Do you want to tell them?" His questioned made me stop to think what I should do. I considered not telling them, but then I realized something. They will eventually find out, so why not tell them already.

"They'll find out anyway" I firmly decided.

"Tell my sister for me, won't you" Why does he want me to tell his sister? Did something happen, not again.....I thought they were done being bitter to each other.

"But she's you're-"

"Please....I don't really want to speak to her right now. I'm kinda mad at her...so you are right?"

"...Why are you upset with her?"

"...Oh...umm I have my reasons, she was arguing with me" He couldn't get any more vaguer can he. I love him more than anything, but why aren't you telling me Riston?

"...Huh, your reasons? What's with you...you always tell me everything" And I thought he didn't like it when I kept secrets or things from him.

"Oh, I..uh...." He all of the sudden seems nervous. I tried to read his facial expression. It was nervous or panic expression. Like he is unsure of something. Wait. Did his sister tell him what she said to me? He's not asking about that anymore. If that is why then, he doesn't have to be upset. Though I wonder what he said, but he shouldn't be mad at her for endless days because of that.

"Hey Riston....if it was because of what she said to me, you don't have to be mad...It's fine" I turn to give him a genuine smile as I opened the two fancy doors

"Ohh...." Was all he said

I pulled open the doors and stepped inside and entered the home of my beloved, Ristondany Evertson.

"Hey, are you back already Ristondany?" Mercina says as Riston just ignores her

"Hi...." I muttered

"Oh? What happened?" Her feet brushed the floor and instantly came to me after seeing my expression.

"You want to know, check the latest news about your family" I take out my phone and show her the picture involving both of us

"Wait! That's both you and-"

"Yes, I don't know how or when, but what I really want to know is who did it. And that person is blackmailing us too!"

"Are you going to do that?" She asks after reading the text

"Why does it matter, it doesn't concern you!" Riston snaps out of nowhere

"I have every right to be concerned, so stop getting in my face on whatever I do! After all I'm older than you!" Mercina begins to yell at. Urgh not this again.... They used to argue all the time, but they haven't for awhile. I hope they don't start yelling again.

"I don't need your opinion and I don't want you to tell me what to do or asking her things just because you want to get in our business!"

How wrong I was...Ughh

"Urgh you are always so annoying, when can you stop being you?!"

"WHAT....did you say!? I am better than I ever was, maybe it's you who needs to change!" I shake my head sighing.

"Excuse me! For years you have been causing trouble, always being a reckless kind of person!"

"You say I'm reckless, but look at you....your the only one who has a problem with me, so cut it out!"

"Oh that's not true, you know it yourself you love causing me trouble and getting in arguments with me!"

"Oh please I don't love that....besides everything thinks I'm the best except for you!"

"Congratulations you won the award for being liked the most I've bet your so proud of yourself right now!"

"Shut up! I don't try to and do extra critiques for something as stupid as that...Oh wait that because it must be your dream! Oh haha, you always win the favor by doing all the perfect ideal things for everyone and being such a goody-goody person!"

"No I don't, and stop acting like such a-"

"Hey! Both of you! I'm right here...jeez stop arguing! This is pointless..."

"Your boyfriend started it!"

"She started it!" They say at the same time

"Fine I'm not telling you know anything else what I'm doing and I'm not talking to you either!" I hated to do this, but that is the only way. And calling Riston just you hurts way too much.

"Wait-what?! Senna!" He tried to touch me, but I push him away. "Senna please, listen to what your saying..." Please don't say anything else that will make me regret or feel guilt. I can't stand not being with you, this is hurting me. I hope you apologize and get along soon because I don't want to be like this with you forever.

"You deserve it!" Mercina says jabbing Riston again

"Urk" I muttered going upstairs into Riston's room

First the thing with everyone knowing me and Riston and now they both were arguing. I don't know what to do. I want them to apologize. I want to be with Riston and I want to see what she says about the threat....ughh I wonder what all the millions of texts says?

Marlene: Tell me more, did you know I am friends with his sister.

Then Senanne put her phone down and looked to the knob of the door as it turns.

"Hey...." I looked up to see Riston standing at the doorway

"Oh, umm sorry. I was just annoyed with all of this and then that added to it" I think I finally forgiven him.

"It's fine, really.....What....were you looking at your phone?!"

"Yeah...it's-"

"You shouldn't have"

"Yeah, I know"

"Senna? It's alright I said I'm here for you. With whoever that is I'll find them and I'll demand their reason for you."

"Oh Riston...." I say as tears fall down again. "Thank you for everything, for caring, being the perfect person, for being with me, protecting me, for never leaving me, and allowing me to not lose you"

"Of course...." He smiles hugging me tighter

"..Riston"

"Shh..." He says placing his lips onto mine "Won't you stay and I don't mind if you don't go to the academy. I'll stay with you then." These words alone make me smile.

Remember this, bad things don't last too long because there will be happy moments coming right afterwords.

I learned to realize that.

"I'll be delighted, but I need to text my brother or he'll freak out"

"I'll do it"

"Shhh....You'll ruin the moment" I say smiling leaning into him. I smile away as we both kiss passionately. Kissing Riston is like a kiss no one ever experienced before. It is like kissing no one else. It is warm, comforting, and intense. You feel passion, happiness, a mixture of emotions, and it is like nothing else matters. You always want more and won't stop. It is until we are out of breath we have to stop. And the best part is my lips always fit perfectly between his.

Maybe things are better than I thought....Maybe fairytales do come true....Maybe dreams are real......Maybe I will get happiness.....and.....Maybe my desires will happen.....

'Mother....Look at me aren't I pretty' I danced around twirling my arms in the air.

'Of course dear' She answered and I giggled

Wait I've been here before....I know this moment. And that is me when I was young and with mother....

'Why is everyone sad....?' I remember asking 'You'll understand soon when your older....'

She always seemed sad and I wondered wanted to know why.....

'When I'm older?'

'Yes... the sadness and despair of life threatens everyone at older ages. Right now we are facing ours, and so you will....I'm sorry dear, you will understand when your older'

'Could you sing to me?' I always enjoyed Mother's singing. Her voice was grand and beautiful. She always sung about what was going on and what she was feeling.

'Of course....

Fighting again, Despair who we shun,

Beautiful wind past by, as the sadness and joy flows around and around

For the day we wish joy won't turn to sadness

Will never come...

The wind... with flowers and leaves, having no care

Takes me into arms of gloom

With me wishing for joy

If only the two will fly from sight, it will raise a possibility to never feel distress...

The freedom we wish will someday I make sure you'll never face

Oh whatever we do, darkness will always come for us in hiding

If someday thy weren't here, I know to fix the things I'll protect you for

Ripping the sky apart. Tearing the world apart.

Waking the misery inside our hearts

Fighting again, Despair who we shun

Beautiful wind past by, as the sadness and joy flows around and around

Even now the halves we had has moved on even if you have to go

With departure the halves, the fates continue to tear the world apart

I believe- that with you- yes, with everything in your heart

There will be a day, you and I, having each other, will make joy never turning into sadness

After years of wishing, one of you might be old enough

The despair will finally be shunned for good

And you won't have any sadness in your heart

Tired of restraining

The sad and misery will be gone from you and everyone will only feel joy

Still something always happens. And it won't work

Being together, some who still are miserable. Joy is consuming everything

Even so, Something is bound to happen, making the ones feel sadness

Death sweeps up the good in the joy

Failing, dead man drops in fire

Divided by despair and joy. Death turn the tables over

Even though you ran away, the evil was planted inside the one you took, still remains

And he bounds a right to have revenge on your supposably perfect life

Is there a way to make him understand? Everything for both of us is despair

But the flames of destruction, causes them to hate and fear

With much agony, it destroyed our friendship of being with you

You're Suffering. You're self-destructing. Now everything is finishing...

But he can't figure out why, that no matter what, tears drop from his eyes

Whatever he does he can't stop getting bothered by the sight of you

His giant hatred that causes agony. That won't stop hurting him

For you still can't understand, that when despair took him

He caused the despair to leave and..... joy entered you

Devoured by evil and misery, he haunts her even though he feels guilt for the first time

He cannot stop the despair that leads him on as he gives up control

And his tears turns into raging hatred

There is no way to change what happens. Forever we'll part our ways

And you, will be greeted by his lament, as you first see his face

I say, we will fight again, as this song consists of only despair and joy....'

It was a song. It was a warning about what was going to happen. She always said you should treasure the moments when you are happy and joyful because despair and sadness is yet to come. Then the ending talks of a vengeful one trying to decide to hurt or be at peace with another.

'Wow Mother' I was filled with glee and my ears perked up. I listened and did not draw my attention away from her.

'It's tragic like what will happen when everyone is older....except your brother'

I always remembered she had massive favoritism towards him and would always want to prevent him to be like the rest of us

'Why do you care for him more, he always seem to dislike you. He prefers father'

I would always wonder why. I wanted to understand, but I was young and couldn't understand every little thing being said or happening.

'Yes...your father'

'Should I make sure Emelia is alright?' I smiled always willing to help out.

'Yes...I'm going to be going'

'See you soon'

I would say this everytime, but this time she said something unusual.

'No.'

'Huh?'

'Your father and brother is sick...well were and your father died'

Those words changed everything...

'What!?' I shouted and I was on the verge of tears.

'I can't bare if that happen to your brother'

She picked favoritism over everything and treated us cruel afterwards.

'You, Emelia, and Oliver is causing your father and brother to become sick'

'...Mother can I' I said coming closer

'Back off child! Your spreading a sickness! I do not want to catch it or for your brother to get worse. I'll save him. I can't believe someone like you is taking away all his health...I wish you were never born... You are not one for me to care for. I'll save him from all of this. I'm leaving...' I was confused and didn't understand anything.

'Mother!' I screamed

'...Mom why? It doesn't have to come to this' Oliver cried out with fear in his eyes as he held Emelia close

'Stop don't leave...I'm not sickly! Stop! Stop! Don't leave! Don't! Please!' I cried out on and on.

Darkness over loped me and I felt my screams repeating over and over. I felt pains and sharpness, I felt chaos, and distress.

Suddenly I waked up with a gasp. What was that about? Some dream, but it was different. I could barely remember anything. Was it something I use to know?

"Oh..Riston...and I'm here" I was still gasping for air. I didn't have a dream like that for awhile.

"Yeah....and it's the thirteenth of August" The day of unluckiness or so the superstitious ones claim. It is also the next day and the day my academy goes to his.....the day my academy visits Riston's academy. The academy that is filled with intelligent, the rich that stray away from money-hunters, and the spoiled ones. Riston was in the strayed away category.

"I'm glad" I smiled brushing off previous thoughts of that dream.

"Are you okay...?" His expression changed to worrisome. He doesn't like it when he thinks there is something wrong. He always tries to help me, I love that about him.

"I'm fine" I answered. I put on a reassuring face and I allow my fingers to lay on his shoulder.

"Bad dream perhaps..." He still presses on trying to figure me out. Once I want to hide something you won't be able to figure it out. Once I want to drop a subject I'll do endless ways trying to change it. The only time I was close to not was with Riston, the other day.

"More like a memory, but it doesn't matter"

I didn't know if he would drop it or not.

"It's 6:40 what are you going to do?" He left it alone and took my hand. With that he looked and put his arms around me.

"Me...uh..umm I'm not s-" I get interrupted by the shout of his sister, Mercina before I could finish my sentence.

"Ristondany!" Mercina's voice yelled

"What does she want with you now?" I furrowed my eyebrows in distress. Can't we have some peace without anyone interrupting

"I have no idea...." He shrugged ignoring his sister's call.

"Ristondany come here!" His sister shouted again.

"Just go so she'll be quiet....." I gave up. Her shouting was annoying.

"But look at you....I don't want to leave you" He whispers to me only inches away from my face. His breath lingers on my skin as he moves away from the corner of my lips.

"Ristondany come here already! I'm sorry if you're making out, just come!" She yelled for the thousandth time. I can't believe she would say that. She doesn't know anything. And we weren't.

"Just go.... already..." I muttered before he got up.

"Alright" He smiled shrugging on his way towards the door. It was genuine.

3rd POV

Ristondany Evertson walks six rooms over and paused in his steps.

"Mum?...." He whispered. His eyes went wide not believing it was her. Then he repeated the question. "Mum?"
