Clarissa's P.O.V

"So I wanted to start off on everything that I'm sorry for". I heard her said beside me.

Mother and I are currently taking a stroll in Central park to "catch up".

Oof!

Whincing I put a hand over my shoulder.

I looked back to see Dylan?

He smiled at me and jogged away.

That smile didn't seem adorable.

It seemed force and I think that there was an evil glint in his eyes.
I don't know, I haven't even seen him since that lady's restroom incident.

Maybe I am been too paranoid.

Definetly.

I decided to shrug off the uneasy feeling I just got.

"No mother, that---"

"No no Clarissa, let me apologize on every event that I did you wrong", She said smiling sadly.

"Okay", I said giving her an encouraging smile.

"The day that I took you in when your father died, when you were nine that is, I was off living an happy life with him not having a care in the world while you were suffering from not having a mother. Your dad was a great man, you know?", She said chucking slightly.

"I know, he was an amazing dad", I breathed out as I gazed at the lake infront of us.

"He was wasn't he? When he died Camilla said that she didn't want to live with a "Pyscopathic" mother, now that I look back on it I don't wrong her for saying that. I still mistreated you despite of what you went through at such a young age, I cursed at you for making simple little mistakes. I was mostly hard on you and I'm so sorry for that. I fought with your sisters physically, I mean who does that? Obviously me. Treating you this way was the worst mistake of my life and I will carry this mistake on my shoulders for as long as I live", She sighed.

"About him, your step father for about 5 years. I am so sorry for fighting with him in front of you constantly. We physically fought and never stopped even when you were crying and telling us to knock it off. I know he loved you and I know that you loved him. He was there for you when I wasn't, He hushed you when you cried, he hugged you when you felt like you were dying, He loved you like how a father would love his own child. We fought on a daily basis and yet still he never laid hands on you, he would always save you when I tried to slap you. I would always provoke him you know? He would have left me a long time ago if it weren't for you. I guess he got so tired of me when I accidentally shoved a stick in his eye", She gently smiled.

"I'm so sorry that he left us, left you because he was the closest thing you had to a parent", She said frowning.

"Thank you mom, you don't need to apologize about anything else, since umm since you have lung and bronchial cancer I suggest that we spend less time talking about the past and spend more time planning for the future", I said with my eyes glistening with unushed tears.

We were now residing at the taxi stand near Central Park waiting for a cab.

"But that's just it Clarissa, Don't you see that I have no future?", She said, her face masking her fear with bravery.

"Taxi!", I called out waving my hand.

The cab stopped and she went in first.

"Don't say that mom", I said to her.

As I was about to close the door the man inside shoved me out as I fell flat on my butt.

The door slams shut as the cab sped away.

"Mom!!!!", I screamed.

What just happened?

As I stand up there was a note lying on the ground.

"Your mom is so pretty, imagine the lovely things I could do to her. Sharp knives, metallic knuckles, whips? Haha I love been kinky ;) Anyways, you have been a bad girl, what did I say about talking to lil ole' Alec? Now your mother has to pay the price."

"No no no!, This can't be happening", I gasped.

I looked around to see if anyone was there.

Then I saw a tall guy wearing blue trousers and a pair of grey vans turning a corner and disappearing from my sight.

Hey wasn't that what Dyan had on?

I'm not sure, it could be a mere coincidence.

Get a fucking grip Clarissa.

"No no, not my mother, not today, not ever, I just got her back. You just made a sad mistake", I said to myself.

These bastards did that to my dad and got away with it, Now my mother? Hit me down nine times but I get up ten.

Now I wasn't about to call the cops.

They covered up my dad's murder and let them slip away.

I hate cops.

Not only because of what they did but I see it everyday. Cops are out in the streets everyday fooling people about keeping them safe and whatnot. They feel as if they are better than everybody, like they are above the law. They chase down homeless people and lock them up for doing what? Nothing at all.

No cops it is.

I was now determined than ever.
I think I'm about to use those lessons to find my mother.

There's no time for grief, I will come find you mom, I will not let them take you away from me.

With these thoughts spiralling in my head I hailed a cab and went home.

------------------------------------------------

Alec's P.O.V

Today was my day off from training.

Thank God!

It's now two days away from the ball at the Lockwood's.

I can't wait to----

Slam

I looked through my window to see what was that noise.

I saw Clarissa coming out of a cab slamming the door.

She look furious, I wonder why.

She told me that she re-kindled her relationship with her mom yesterday.

I'm happy for her and I'm happy that she told me everything. I was beyond shock though, she went through so much and she's still so strong.

I feel guilty that I didn't tell her about my underground fighting or about my mother or father.

But I don't think that I could go up to her and say "Hey love, I am planning on ruining my mother's life, possibly kill her, wanna still be friends?".

Wow! Cause that'll go really well.

Sighing I decided to check up on her so I went and knocked on her door.

"What?!", I heard before the door opened.

"Dingle dick?", Her voice softened as she saw me.

"Hey love, are you okay?I saw you coming out of the cab, you looked murderous?", I asked her.

"Hey--uh since this involves you I have to tell you", She said sighing.

I was more interested in what she has to say more than ever.

"What do you mean?", I asked suspiciously.

"Come inside, I'll tell you about it", She said.

I carried myself inside and we went up to her room.

"Look there's something that I didn't tell you", She started off.

"The men that murdered my father has been contacting me since last month. They know about you Alec and that I care about you. They told me not to speak to you anymore and I didn't listen so, so they went after my mother......Today......As you know I went to hang out with her at Central Park, Things were going great until they kidnapped her", She said sighing.

She picked up a piece of paper and showed it to me.

"Your mom is so pretty, imagine the lovely things I could do to her. Sharp knives, metallic knuckles, whips? Haha I love been kinky ;) Anyways, you have been a bad girl, what did I say about talking to lil ole' Alec? Now your mother has to pay the price."

"Holy shit Clarissa, I'm so sorry! This is all my fault!", I exclaimed.

"No it is not, It was my descision and now I'm planning to fix it", She said with so much authority lacing her voice.

"How?", I asked curiously.

"I am going to hunt and track them down to find my mother. I'm gonna kill them and end this once and for all". She said which made me burst out laughing.

"What?", She said getting defensive.

"You---- You? You will kill? Ki--- kill what? A bug?", I burst out laughing.

I mean, not to be mean but she's a girl.

Suddenly my ribs was hit hard with her elbow making me whince.

Did she just do the elbow technique on me?
But how does she know, wait no how did she learn that skill?

"The elbows are devastating weapons that can generate tremendous power. Elbow strikes can be delivered vertically, diagonally and horizontally to the enemy's nose, temple, chin, throat, solar plexus and ribs", She said smirking.

"Unbelievable", I breathed out.

"You might know alot about me but you don't know everything about me dingle dick", She said smiling.

I smirked at her, "Let me show you something love".

I dragged her foot when she wasn't paying attention and I pinned her to the ground straddling her.

"Maintain a well balanced stance, throwing knees or elbows is an effective way to hurt an opponent, Pin your opponent to the ground when possible, Block, Never scream or trash talk while fighting , Avoid pulling your opponent's hair and Kick your opponent", I finished off as she had a suprised look on her face.

"Did I mention that I do underground boxing and street fighting?", I asked mockingly.

"No", she whispered.

Her breathing became erotic and I could feel her heart pounding due to the close proximity.

As she was trying to get up her fingers accidentally brushed against my member.

"Uh sorry?", She said looking mortified.

"Dingle dick? Why is your uh--umm dick pressing up against me?", She said looking embarassed.

I couldn't answer, I didn't move either, Perhaps I didn't want to.

Her delicate soft skin glided against my rough hands, her hair slightly running along her face touching her pink plump lips and her eyes held so must lust.

Calm down Alec senior!

"Maybe I could train you and we could find these bastards, what do you say love?" I breathed out.

"Okay dingle dick", She smiled.

Our lives were messed up.

We are hella different.

This is just US, calmly making a deal to work together to kill.

With our bodies tangled with each other.

"Bitch! Why----Holy Shit, well what do we have here", We heard a voice said.

Miranda.

Ryan.

Oof!

I fell flat on my but.

She shoved me off!

"Uh---it's not what it looks like!", She said, her face getting red as a ripe juicy tomato.

"So you just accidentally dry humping him?", Miranda exclaimed.

And just for revenge sake.

"It is what it exactly looks like", I said smirking.
