Everyone was rushing to get ready for the play. Costumes were being fitted and lines were being rehearsed. The backstage people were rushing to get the lighting perfect and the decorations spot on. Nishani was rushing to get everyone ready for the first act while Raghangi was trying to make sure that her best friend was okay.

"Are you sure you're okay Nishani?" Raghangi asked, concerned for her poor best friend that just got cheated on.

"Raghangi I'm okay don't worry he's a piece of shit anyways." Nishani replied, reassuring her best friend that everything was fine. Raghangi knew that nothing was fine but she didn't want to push the truth out of her best friend. Whenever Nishani was ready, Raghangi would be there for her.

Everyone settled down and the audience was seated. Last minute, Nishani was called to do the introduction for the play so she wore a slick, tight fit black dress with black stilettos. She quickly did her makeup and hair to make herself look presentable and got up on the stage.

"Welcome everybody to the Romeo and Juliet play, presented by the one and only ninth graders of Amethyst High!!' She yelled excitedly as the audience clapped, roared and cheered.

The curtains were drawn back and the play began.

-----

The first act was finished and everyone was preparing for the second act. Rushing and preparing. The audience were chattering about how splendid the young actors and actresses were. Nishani thought they did amazing. She had no doubt that they would be perfect for the second act. She looked around at everyone and saw our Juliet struggling to breathe. Immediately, she ran up to her.

"Hey hey what's wrong?" Nishani asked, sitting her down and rubbing her back.

"I'm terrified. I think I'm having an anxiety attack," She replied, uncertainly.

Nishani has had her fair shares of anxiety attacks and she knew how to handle one. She hoped her methods would work on Juliet.

"Look at me. Take deep breaths. You're going to do great. You did amazing for your first act. Be confident. You were made to be Juliet." Nishani whispered soothing words to her.

She calmed down and looked at Nishani. She immediately hugged her. "Thank you. I'm ready. I will do amazing!" She cheered. Nishani looked at the little Juliet and went back to rehearsing her lines. She was happy that she could calm down the little actress and knew that everything would be fine. Or so she thought.

Not even ten minutes after the second act started, the play was interrupted. Three men dressed in suits walked onto the stage. One man was in front and the other two were behind the man in the front.

"Play is cancelled. Everyone get lost." The man in the front roared in an angry voice.

Nishani then stepped out, replying with "No this play is not cancelled. Please leave so we can continue." She had to admit, she wasn't much of a talker around new people but she couldn't stand the play being interrupted.

"Listen you little shit. The play is cancelled. Now tell everyone to leave or else." He tried to threaten her.

"No." Nishani said sternly.

"Fine. It's okay boys. We have our bait right here." The man in the front smirked.

The next thing you know, Nishani was pulled out of the theatre.

"IF ANYBODY FUCKING MOVES YOU WON'T BE ALIVE." The men roared.

Raghangi tried her best to save her best friend but she was held down and with a gun at her head. She couldn't do anything so she quietly sobbed as her best friend was pulled out of the theatre. Her girlfriend was quietly comforting her as she sobbed into her chest.

Nishani did all she could to fight out of his grip.

"Stop fucking moving." He yelled at her. He then took a cloth out of his pocket and held it up to her nose. She tried her best not to breathe in but she gave up as darkness consumed her.
