Dakota's pov

"Why do I even come to school.. " I groaned.

Everyone chuckled.

It was finally the end of the day and I, Emmet, Adrian and Rosalie were going back. Well not me. I had some fishy work to do.

" Da you coming? " Adrian called.

" You'll go to your guitar classes won't you? " I asked.

He frowned. " Yes. But why? "

" Can you leave me at 6th Alan street? " I asked hesitating.

He widened his eyes. " Why do you want to go to such a place? "

I knew he would snap. But I had to. Alan street was known as the place of reckless delinquents. It was a place where drugs and alcohol were a usual part of the day. But I wanted to go somewhere else. I won't do drugs or anything.

" Brother trust me. I won't be doing anything wrong. " I said softly.

He stared at me. Emmet was standing there texting someone while Rose had gone home.

He sighed and nodded. " Fine. But be back by 8."

I beamed a smile at him and turned towards Emmet.

"Hey Emo! I won't be going to the soccer practice today, so you go." I said.

He eyed me suspiciously. "Are you hiding something from me?"

I chuckled nervously. "Why would I hide something from my besti! And moreover.." I slung an arm around his shoulders. "What about a sleepover at our house? "

This must've seemed to convince him as he smiled and nodded. I saw him going to his motorcycle and waving at me. I waved him back and he went away.

"So let's go. "

I was currently at Alan street, sitting in the car with Adrian who was telling me to take care of myself and bla bla..

" Text me or call me if necessary, don't roam around an --"

I cut him off with a hug. "Trust me big brother. I'll call you if anything happens and I'll come home safely."

He sighed and hugged me back.

I got out of the car and waved at him. He smiled and went away.

I turned to look at my surroundings. There were teenagers dressed in leather all looking badass.. Some where chugging down a whole bottle of vodka in one go. I walked to my destined place.

Coming in front of the gym I patted my back with pride. Yes. I was going to train myself like my mom, and that's why I chose a gym so far away so that no one can find out about this. Of course I'll tell Adrian but.. Not now.

I went inside the old looking gym and gasped.

The inside was furnished with the latest gym equipments with a luxurious looking surrounding. There was a TV too. Some leather couches and a glass door which led inside the gym.

"Miss Charles I assume? " a man who looked like the owner asked.

" Yes. " I said.

" We'll I'm Mr Styles. The caretaker and the owner of the gym. Here's your locker key and your membership card. " he said handing me a key and a card.

" Also I'll suggest you to come at this time as the night shift has tough and rough boys. You may feel uncomfortable. " he said.

I smiled at him. " That's fine. I'll be coming around this time. Thank you. "

He smiled and went away.

I entered the locker room to change my dress. I could hear a few girl voices as I changed. Maybe some other members.

I wore a sports bra with shorts and headed out.. I was about to enter the door when I heard..

" Dakota? "

I snapped my head towards the voice.

" Mom? " I gasped.

" What are you doing here? " we both chorused at the same time.

" Hey Amy I was about.... Wow.. "

I saw aunt Emily too with a handful of chips.

" Dakota.. " my mother stopped doing her seat ups and glared at me " Why are you here? "

" Umm.. I.. Mom I was here to train myself.. " I stated nervously.

" Train yourself? For what? " she snapped. " Dakota, I told you about my teenage years, that doesn't mean you'll have to be like one too! "

I knew she was angry.

" Oh yeah? Then why are you here? Shouldn't you be at home? " I snapped too.

" Hey hey calm down both of you. " aunt Emily grumbled.

" Honey.. You shouldn't be doing this. I'm still doing the because the girl in me still wants to fight. And moreover it's a hobby now. Coming to gym and exercising is a daily routine for me. " she said sighing.

" Mom please let me do it. You know I'm your daughter and according to that whatever you did back then it has somehow became a part of my life too! You know I love football and I do get in fights. Please mom. It'll make me happy and I want to be as strong as you. " I pleaded.

" Do I have a choice? " she smiled.

I smiled too.

" Father knows? " I said pointing to the gym.

" He suspects. " he chuckled.

After a whole lot of training I was tired. I just wanted to go home.

" Hon, you didn't bring your car right? " mom asked.

" No. "

" It's fine. Take mine. I'll go in Emily's car. " she said throwing me the keys.

I looked towards aunt Emily. " Rosalie doesn't knows about this I suppose. "

She scratched her back. " No. And please - "

" Chill. I won't tell her. " I grinned.

They bid me goodbyes and I went towards mom's car. My house was a bit far from here so I hurriedly went inside and started the engine. The car came to life and I rode off.

" Damn! "

I groaned annoyed. The car had a flat tyre. I was in the middle of no where and the Lord decided to rain all the punishments of my bad works today.

I called Adrian. After three rings he picked up.

" Da, where are you? "

" I'm having a flat tyre. You think you can come over? I'm in between Alan street and the road to our house. Near the chocolate factory that got burned a few years back. " I said biting my lip.

I heard shuffling from the other side. " I'm coming right away. "

I put my phone back in my pocket and sighed. The surroundings were utterly silent and the burned down factory was giving me the creeps.

A stray dog came towards me and started licking my toes making me chuckle. I bent down and petted him. He was adorable with brown eyes and black furry body.

Suddenly the dog started to growl. I pulled my hands back thinking I pissed him off but when I saw him, he was looking at something behind me. I followed his gaze but couldn't see anything.

Well by now I was really scared. It doesn't matter if it's a kidnapper, but if it's a ghost, I'm gone.

The dog kept growling and I felt sweat gathering on my forehead.
And then I saw it.

Near the factory turning, there was a shadow. A shadow of a man.

I gulped audibly.

Oh no it's the ghost.

The shadow moved.

And I let out the most ear piercing scream in my whole life. I was screaming so loudly that I didn't even notice Adrian coming towards me.

"Hey hey.. Dakota... Calm down.. " Adrian said hugging me.

Feeling the familiar warmth I shut up and hugged him back.

" What's the matter? Are you hurt? Is something wrong? "

" I.. I.. A shadow.. " I said shaking with fear pointing towards where the shadow was.

He looked there and sighed. " There's nothing there Da. You should stop watching ghost movies if you're so scared. "

I looked and saw that really there was nothing there . Even the dog was gone.

" But.. But.. There.. "

" Get in the car. You need sleep. " he said kissing my forehead.

I nodded nonetheless but that was really Unnerving.

Shadow's pov

" Did you see her? " the man asked from the other side of the phone.

" Yes. She screamed loudly seeing my shadow. " I replied.

He chuckled. " Good " and kept the phone.

I saw the place where that girl was standing. From the many thoughts in my head, the only thing that was going on my mind was...

" I'm sorry. "

A/n: Heya lovelies. Another update.
