My eyes widen with shock at the voice. I notice Ren's body tense. His face scowling. I look back over my shoulder. There in all her glory the black beauty of the past was Brittany. Holy fuck she was the last person I though would have sent the text. No scratch that, she wasn't even on the list let alone on my mind.

"Oh were you expecting someone else." A wicked smile of amusement appears across her face. No way in hell I'm going to admit who I thought I'd catch here.

"Why did you ask me to come here?" I say turning to face her.

"To warn you."

"Warn her about what? " Ren growls behind me. "Mind you if threatening her in front of me, it's as good as signing your death warrant."

" I think I'm done here if this is how I'm going to be treated. " She say twirling a long strand of her hair around her finger. She drops it turning on her heels and begins to head down the stairs.

"Wait!" I holler after her and follow her. She looks up at me a smile on her face. "Was Serena even here or was this all a hoax?" I feel Ren's presence larger then life behind me again.

"Hmmm, Oh well, she was." she waves a hand as if to say forget it. "Heed my warning Anna. Stop digging. Though I was actually suppose to come and tell you, something big is about to go down. You need to chose whose side you're on. He can forgive you if you come to him. He will be waiting in the place where you first met." With that she blows a kiss toward Ren and descends the stairs and out of sight.

My stomach twists in knots. She had to mean David. The place we met was at my old friend Shion's house they were friends she introduced us long time ago. I felt like puking. Dear god what had he done to her? What was he doing to her?

"Your not going, don't you even fucking think about it!" Ren's word rang out through the chaos of my mind, I turned to him. How dare he tell me what I can and can't do. Shion could be endanger. She could already be, I choke at the thought. I shouldn't care they both betrayed me, but I swear to god if he killer her or hurt her just to get to me I was going to kill him. Ignoring Ren, I head down the stairs, zigzag in and out through the mass of people but soon as I exit the building Ren is man handling me. Fight back try to break free. I was unsuccessful as he picks me up around the waist, I'm thrown into the back on the Mercedes. "Drive!" Ren barks. As Mike climbs into the front passenger side. I try to sit up properly adjusting myself.

"What on earth has gotten into you?" I glare at Ren. He says nothing he pulls out a cigarette and a lighter from inside the lining of his suit jacket. Slipping one into his mouth he flips open his zippo and clicks it bringing the flame to life. Taking a deep puff as the flame is held to the cigarette it begins to burn. I snatch It and snap it in half in frustration making him look at me.

"Don't test me Anna?" He says reaching into his jacket to pull out another.

"Test, Test, Test!" I shout poking at him.

"For fucks sake woman." He grumbles grabbing around me he pull me up into his lap to make straddle him. "Why are you so damn annoying; and so damn adorably kissable my love?"

"And why are you so …!"

"Shut up already Angel!" Ren growls playfully interrupting me. My retort silenced with him lips over mine his hand pressed on my back. Holding us together.

"Why is it always when you want me. Why it always about you." I being to punch his chest.

He shrugs "I'm a selfish bastard we both knew that my love." I punch him again.

"You know what I'm asking why are you stopping me? He's so close I need to end it with him before anyone else gets hurt why won't you let me finish this like you told me so long ago that I'd have to?" I was now crying the words out in desperation. My leads where getting cold, and Elder Berston wouldn't agree to the meeting now. Without David I had nothing and yet there was major movement happening and talk of assassination of the Feng clan. Ren had been at the top so long but suddenly the other heads of the clans fear has lessened and are starting to move against him. David was the only clue I had. I would beat any information I could out of him if it means protecting those I love.

"Because I'm not loosing you again!" He shouts interrupting my crying screams shaking me. "I can't loose you again. Marry me Anna."
