Chapter 15

***********************

   "Delivery for Ms.Grey," Zoe announced in a mock formal voice, stepping inside my room, she was holding a large , sliver box in her hands. "Justin told me to give it this to you. He wants you to be ready in 30 minutes"

  "For what?" I asked , eyeing the box . "For the party , remeber? Its today."

    I nodded and waited for her to leave before getting up and walking toward the box.  I gently pried the top open; A Small note lay-ed on top I picked it up, reading it.

    I taught this might suit you. :) 

     Putting the note aside , I slowly grabbed the silk fabric and gently took it out. "Holy crap." I murmured to myself. Staring at the most beautiful mermaid dress I'd ever seen . I didn't  want to think how much it had cost. A pair of high stilettos also lay ed in the box, the heels decorated with jewels.

   After a nice shower I dried myself with the towel and carefully slipped on the dress, heading back to my room. I dried my hair and straightned it, throwing it over my shoulder . I put some make-up on also.

    I was finishing up when there was a knock on the door. "Brooklyn are you d-whoa!" I straightened up and turned around to look at Jake who was gasping at me. His eyes traveled up and down my body.

  "I meant-er," He blinked , his cheeks tinting red sligtly . "Justin said it you werent ready in another minute, he was coming up hiself." I slipped into my heels. I gavea small smile at Jake who was wearing a dress shirt and black slacks. "Lets get going then."

   He smiled and held out an arm for me and I slipped my own arm over it. We walked down the stairs and I almost missed a step when I saw Justin leaning against the wall at the end of the staircase. His head raised as we walked down and immediately locked eyes with me.

   We reached the end of the staircase and Justin's gaze sliently wandered toward mine and Jake's entwind arms. For a moment I thought his eyes were going to become lazers beams or something.

    Jake cleared his throat , letting go of my hand quickly , as though it were on fire. "I'll um go wait in the car ." He mumbled , walking away. Justin stood up straight and I realized with a jolt, he was wearing something formal. Wow he looked good in a button up shirt. I  couldn't help but notice a light purple bruise forming on the side of his jaw.

  "What happened?" I frowned without thinking I raised my hand on the burise and I barely touch it and he jerks back slightly. "I had another arena fight" He said in a low, flat voice.

   "lets get going or well be late." He walked past me

                                                                                                 ***

     We arrived at out designated are in an hour or so , with me riding with Zoe and the other boys with Justin.

     "So your  telling me another gang lives here?" I gasped at a very large house mansion as she parked the car. We both go out and a chauffeur hurried over to get out key. Zoe snorted and waved him off in a not so polite manner mumbling something under her breath about quick escape.

   "Theyre rich brats." She answered me in a louder voice. "you know those girls in highschool who are rich bitches, think they can own the school. these guys are exactly like that except well....they're guys"

 'Youre words amazes me," Sean said as him and the others walked over to us. Zoe flipped him off. "Guys." Justin butted in "Stop behaving like idiots. We need to keep our guard up."

  "Geez, you need to take a chill pill." She remarked as we headed for the gates that lead to the mansions entrance. Justin rolled his eyes. ''Just be care full. And Seth." He looked at the boy who was walking next to him. "Don't let Grey out of your sight."

  "I can take care of myself ." I said offended by the fact that he was making at 15 year old babysit me.

  "Sure you can." His voice dropped with sarcasm. The door was open for us and I totally forgot about snapping back at him as I took int he view. It was freaking amazing with a massive grand staircase. and a crystal chandelier hanging from a rod, the walls tilted in gold.

   'Show offs." Sean muttered.

  "What did Chase say again?" Jake asked as we all walked in toward the direction everyone else seemed to be going. ''He said Brax would be here somewhere." Justin's eyes darted around like hawk's eyes alert and ready. His stace  was stiffened.

   "Well,"Zoe yawned and strecthed slightly in he tight white dress, making all the guy around us stare. She eyed one of the guys who was staring at her shamelessly and smirk spread on her lips. "I am going to go have some fun" she said while making her way to the guy.

   I just stood there awkwardly. "Hey , you wanna dance?" Jake turned around to me smiling slightly, Seth has also disappeared somewhere, saying something about the food table. I opened my mouth to answer but before I could , Justin butted in. "Its alright Jake , I've got her." He stopped next to me.

  Jake raised an eyebrow , staring at both of us before nodding and walking away. "What is your problem?'' I hissed at Justin. "You cant just do that. I can dance with who ever I want." "Well. frankly I just did do that and no, you can not dance with whomever you want." He sounded bored. I narrowed my eyes. I turned around , stomping away. I didn't really know where I was going , I just wanted to get away from him.

  I pushed through the crowd of people , tying to find a sanctuary spot where I could brood. it seemed like the ballroom had doors to its side that led to what I suppose was outside. I opened one of them and blinked . I was seeing hundreds of myself.

   Oh my god its its a mirror room.

  I steeped deeper inside the room and found my reflection every where i went. I turned around to walk out but got smacked in a mirror. Blinking I rubbed my forehead. Shit that hurt.  I stared at myself

   Oh poop I'm lost

     Okay okay , don't panic. i thought to myself

   "Whats a beautiful girl like you doing here, sweetheart?" I froze as I heard the voice , my heart stopping . Whipping around , I tried to find the source of the voice but I only saw myself doubled a hundrered times. "Who's there?" I called out, pressing against one of the mirrors.

   A chuckle came, smooth and pleasant. "Dont be frightened, i dont bite... usually."

   I quickly walked , using my hands as a way to help me. Maybe I could break the mirrors....

   "Its no use , darling , only I know the way out of here." His voice came from in front of me and i stopped dead in my tracks. A guy stood in front or me- I supposed it was in front. he looked quite young, only a year or two older than me. He had dark hair and tan skin, his eyes were like liquid amber. He wore a amused smile on his face as he stared at me.

    ''Who are you" I asked '' Thats not important.'' He was still smiling . "Sems like youre lost. Shall I guide you out?"

   I bit my lip, feeling slightly suspicious. But I still nodded wordlessly. "Come on then." He waved a hand and had a hard time telling me which one was actually him.

   '"So whats your name?" He asked as we walk. ''Brooklyn" I answer hesitantly.

    "That's a lovely name.'' He complimented.

    '"Thanks'' I suddenly found myself in a totally different room, with the guy standing next to me . the room was lowly dimmed , and instead if lights, it had torches.

   "What is this place?" I asked my eye roaming around the place. "The underground as i like to call it" I watched as he step deeper into the place , placing a hand on the  stone walls. He waved for me to come down further but I just stood there "I should probably, get going'' I said pointing back up to the stairs "What the hurry for'' He said . "My friends are probably waiting for me'' I saw as I turn around to leave but he suddenly caught my wrist , pulling me back to him.

 uh oh.

   "Dude." I tried to pull my wrist free but his hand was digging into my skin, his nails making marks. "Let me go you creep!"I said louder, getting very , very scared. His other hand came hold of my other wrist tightly. "Your in no rush , darling" He murmured. "I said let me go!" I hollered, wishing for the first time , and last , that Justin was here.

   "Girls like you need to be taught a lesson, sweetheart." I suddenly felt myself being slammed agaist a wall so hard my vision blurred.

  "Yeah and freaks like you need to get a life." I growled and spit in his direction.

 Wrong move.

  My Head snapped to the side at the force of his slap. I taste blood in my mouth, and tears of pain filled my eyes something sharp pressed against me neck.

 "Another word, and I wont hesitate to rip your head off your neck," I heard him hiss in my hair as the knife swayed on my skin like seductive caress. "Hmmm." He sounded like he as musing over what to wear for the day. "Now lets see.

  The knife roamed down to my neck slowly and I swallowed. It went to the side of my chest and I hearrd a tear. my eyes widened. oh hells to the no.

  I started struggling again, not caring if he hurt me with the knife. Anything but ripping the dress. "Uh , Uh, Uh" Another tear. He gripped me so tightly he was going to break my bone. A trickle of blood slid down my chin from the slap. Ignoring the knife. I tried to Punch him back, clawing , scratching . whatever. "Let me go!"

  A flash of burning pain started just near my stomach but ignored it, panic was swirling through me like adrenaline.

   "You heard the girl Brax." A voice came.

  "Let her go" I knew that voice.
