There was a girl named Theodora Noor. She was constantly moving around the World to different boarding schools with her father for his job.
But one unexpected day her father dies, leaving her alone with the person she thought was dead, her mother...
Viper and I rode in silence as we rode back to the Academy. I knew we would have to talk eventually I quickly told him to pull to the side of the road.
"I'm sorry, I was too harsh in there V, "I said quietly to him.
"I wasn't thinking Thea. I should have been more careful. I should have known to keep my mouth shut." He said looking down at his hands.
"It's okay V I just... I have tried so hard to put that time in my life behind me and it... it still haunts me every day when I leave my room. It haunts me at night, I feel like everyone I love will be ripped away from me. I can't do it V." I said as the tears fell faster from my face.
He leaned over and embraced me in a hug I wish could've lasted forever.
Finally calmed down, I continued "I wanted you to know I wanted to tell you everything, that I was gonna leave, that I had a double identity. But I was scared, I was afraid they would come after you looking for answers, you never were a good actor." I said as we both chuckled lightly.
"I wanted to protect you like I wanted to protect my dad... and to be honest I still don't know who caused the car accident," I said to him as we continued our drive back to the Academy.
But I knew, I knew deep down it was my fault. I always knew I was the reason my father got killed, and It haunted me that they were out there lurking and I still couldn't find them.
But I will, and when I do, I will be their personal hell. They will pay for what they did, and for now, I will wait, I'll wait for them to make their next move, and I'll be ready when they do.

It was the next morning and I was laying in my bed. Slowly awakening from my recent horror-filled dream sleep. Last night's events triggered all those dreams I had tried so hard to suppress. Those dreams hurt the most because they were all too real.
V was flying back to Italy today and we promised to stay in contact and visit each other often. It put me to ease knowing I still had him. It felt like nothing had changed, which I so was grateful for.
I was going to the ball tonight, and though I wouldn't be able to spend much time with my mom because people would get suspicious, I was still happy to spend some time with her.
I had texted Mira and asked if she would be going to the ball and luckily she and the boys would all be there so I told her I would see her there.
Since I was going earlier than everyone else because it was at my mother's mansion and she said I could get ready there as to not have to rush from the Academy.
Looking at the time I saw it was 8:00 am, so I decided it was the perfect time to go on a run considering I haven't been able to in a while.

After 5 miles I returned to my room and took and shower since I was feeling sweaty and did my normal self-care.
Once I was down with my shower I ate breakfast and got dressed in some comfy clothes that consisted of a simple skirt, a soft grey sweater, white sneakers, and one of my silver watches.
