East High School
Senior Year school Building
The Hallway
Malia left the dressing room quickly because she was pressed and got to the restroom to get her business done before the announcement.
Two minutes later, she came out feeling relieved and started walking back to the dressing room.
As she was walking, she bumped into someone because her mind was occupied and didn't watch her steps.
"Hey watch out," The person's voice said that sounded like a man's voice and she looked up
"Ohh, Mr. Winslet," She said and smiled lightly
"Hey child, Longest time," He said," How are you,"
"I'm Fine, Thank you," She answered because she is feeling uncomfortable under his staring eyes.
"I'm sorry, I have to go," She told him and without waiting for his reply, she starts going.
"Wait, You can't leave like that," Alex said and moved to her front
"Why it is important I must leave, the winner will soon be announced, do I have I have together," She shook her head when she saw two huge guys walking towards her.
"No, you are more needed here than that stupid thing," He snorted and walked towards her.
"Hold her," He ordered the guys
"Just cooperate well," He told her
"What, Argh!! No!," Malia screamed as he got closer and hit her with his hand on her head, then she passed out right away.
"Geez, so troublesome," He hissed
"Take her and let's go before they notice she is missing," He said and lead the way.

They got to the basement of the school abandoned apartment that was given to principals but On the 1st of May, The Government banned it that principals shouldn't be living in should they provided accommodations outside the school and this place has been empty for years.
They put her down inside the room and tied her up with a rope.
"Bring me the water and pour it on her, I will love to have a chat with her before she meets lily in heaven," He laughed evilly
"Yes sir," one of the bodyguards came with a bucket of water and poured it on her.
Malia woke up immediately startled as she looked at her environment struggling to free herself when she realized she is captured and tied.
"What have I done to deserve this from you," She asked shivering as a result of the child's water together with the fact she is sitting on a cold floor as well.
"You are asking me that," He laughed," I should have ripped off your mouth because you don't deserve to talk,"
"You are mad," she shouted with her strength
"Really, fine, I'm mad," He shrugged
"If I'm mad, just know your dad made me like this,"
"Why are you doing this, if you have any grudges against my dad just tell him," She sighed and a tear left his eyes
"I have tried to make your dad settle with me but he doesn't want, he doesn't want to give me my right," he yelled
"But the company and every other thing aren't meant for you, I'm sure you know that,"
"Wow, so your dad as explained lies to you, huh," He scoffed mockingly
"You are just obsessed, obsession can't make you have it despite it not being yours initially,"
"That doesn't matter because if I start bringing him down by cutting his branches before uprooting him,"
"And do you know what," He said and held her chin staring at her directly in the eye as he tighten his grip causing her pain
"That is why I decided to use you since he never liked you nor your sister,"
"And do think you will get away with this," She snorted trying to talk sense in his head but he doesn't feel any remorse at all.
"Of course, Ivy made sure everything is clear just like the first time," He smiled
"What, so Ivy is involved," Malia asked with a shocked expression written on her face.
"Yes dear, she is part of the plan including her other friends," He told her
"Despite knowing she hates me, I still trust her a little," she said as tears left her eyes
"There is nobody to trust again on earth,"
"So she could go extreme just because of a boy," Malia shook her head dejected
"Yes, but it isn't only because of that boy, errmm Dave, David or whatever you call him,"
"Then, because of what," Malia said feeling nervous and pale every single second
"I told her your dad, Morgan killed her mum, Lily," He said smiling
"What, my dad can't even kill a cockroach," Malia shook her head negatively
"Yes, Morgan is a coward, he can't do it," He nodded admitting it, and paused," By the real truth that Ivy is mistaking is...,"
Malia's eyes widened when she realized what he is saying
"You killed her,"
"Oh my God, you are so smart," he laughed
"Why," Malia cried," somebody help," she screamed
"Well, Don't bother yourself because no one will listen to you, I'm sure no one will know something is going on here,"
"Just like two years ago," He added
"Two years ago," She asked confused
"Yes, just like there was no one to help you prove your innocence that you didn't kill Rose despite your dad turning over the case because he is wealthy and as a connection, but you are still regarded as a murderer," He added
"So you mean you killed Rose,"
"Should I say she took the fall,"
"Meaning,"
"You are the one that is meant to die a bit stupidly, she died instead of you, so let's say I'm here today to take the fall, so you can meet her,"
"You are crazy," she yelled
"Yes I know, anyway Forgive it, just greet her when you get there," he pointed towards the heaven
"What do you mean," She asked as she watched the people pouring petrol around the room
"What does it look like, I'm going to make a fire and you are going to get burned alive,"
"Although, Ivy doesn't know about this because she only wants you to be tortured but I will kill you and if she queries me, I will send him to you so you can continue your enmity in heaven, nice right," he chuckled
"No Please, don't kill me, my dad will do whatever you want," she pleaded
"Well, I have gotten to a point of no return," He smiled and lit the light
"Noo," she shouted
"Goodbye, Malia Stewart," He smirked and threw the fire at her before going
"Noooooooooo...,"

Behind the Stage
In The Dressing Room
"Rose,"
"Rose,"
"Rose,"
"Rose,"
"Rose isn't dead, she is alive," someone screamed
"What,"
"Longest time girls, do you miss me," She said with her angelic voice.
When Kelly and Michel heard the voice, They looked up shocked because where ever they are or find themselves, even in the dream, they will surely recognize the voice. They turned back immediately to face her
"Rose," Her voice came out in a whisper from his mouth
She only smiled lightly as she looked at him before turning her attention to Ivy, Grace, and Alexis.
"You are alive," Kelly said smiling coming to hug her.
"I'm sorry," That was only what she told him as she hugged him back
"Rose," Michel called her name again as he got to her front touching her cheek after Kelly disengaged from the hug.
"You are alive," Michel cried hugging her," I have missed you,"
"Mich, it isn't the time for that," She disengaged
"But the baby bear, I ...," He trailed off
"Not now, Mich," She cut him off sternly and faced Ivy and the others
"Rose, you are supposed to be dead," Ivy said after she got a little strength to talk
"Well, as You can see I'm alive healed, and heady," She shrugged smiling
"Mabel, why are you playing a prank," Grace snapped," we were there when you were placed in the ground and buried, The ghost doesn't have anything to do with the living,"
"Me ghost, Don't be too surprised, I was never dead," Rose smirked and moved closer to them like a predator to catch a prey
"No, please move back," Alexis begged and cried," I bind you in the name of Jesus, live us alone," she prayed
"Now, she knows how to pray," Davina mocked
While everyone was perplexed about what is going on, David seem confused.
"Why are you only tormenting us, what about Mabel and Davina, they are part of us," Ivy said trying to act confidently
"They are my helpers so why should I torment them," Rose shrugged
"Do you think I want to be your friend, I just did to get what I wanted and I did, then, Davina decided to join me to bring you, girls, down, you losers," Mabel snapped
"What," Their mouths were opened in shock including Kelly and David
"You know about this," Kelly asked Davina and she nodded then looked at David looking angrily
"Anyway, more explanation will follow whenever I come to drop my statement in the police station," Rose said
"Sir, come in and take them away," She added bluntly
"Noooooooooo," They shouted as they were dragged out.
"Now, where the f*ck is my bestie," Rose giggled as her eyes roamed around the room
"Malia," Michel, David, and Kelly together as they looked at themselves before running out.
"Shit, I hope nothing is wrong, let's go," Mabel said as they ran after them with the whole class.

David, Michel, and Kelly got to the lady's restroom and couldn't find her
"Oh my God, where could she be," David rubbed his head feeling frustrated
"This isn't supposed to happen," Michel sobbed
"Fire,"
"Fire,"
"Fire,"
A young boy that is in junior year two cane running down the hallway shouting fire and Michel stopped him
"Hey, what is wrong," he asked
"There is a fire at the abandoned building, the basement precisely and I heard a faint voice shouting for help and he sounded like a female voice," The young boy said panting
"A female voice," Kelly repeated
"Oh no, Malia," Michel said and ran off with the others.
While the boy ran towards the hall as the principal wants to start calling for the winner, then he burst in.
"Fire, There is a fire at the abandoned building and it seems someone is there," The shouted
"What, who could be there," A woman asked
"A senior called Malia," He replied
"No, that is my daughter," Elizabeth said and ran out with the others in the hall to the building.
When they got there, the firefighter are already doing their job but the fire has not been put off finally the inside is dangerous to enter because it seems everything is burnt.
The boys are pacing around nervously as he kept looking at Rose.
"Please Find my daughter," Elizabeth cried as Morgan held her trying to console her
"Damn those incompetent boys, just find the culprit," Louis told his guard angrily
"We have found a body," One of the firefighters said, and immediately, Michel and David ran inside.
"Malia," They called tapping her as she isn't responding
"Get the f*ucking damn ambulance," Morgan shouted
"If anything happens to my daughter, I will destroy the whole Boston," he yelled as a test left is face
"Is she dead," Isabel asked as she is looking half dead
"Noooo, my daughter," Elizabeth cried.
