Coreen went downstairs after she finished her meal with Damien behind her which made her a hundred percent terrified. They went to this room where her friends are. She sat down beside Danielle. Damien stepped out of the room leaving the girls with Aiden.

"Just tell us what do you want?" Danielle said. Aiden said nothing as a black cloud appeared, surrounding all of them. They got to this place where they saw a little blonde girl running around, playing tag with her friends. She was wearing a peach colored dress and flat shoes.

"Oh my God, Perrie? Is that you?" Sophia asked referring to the little blonde girl who's running in the park. She looks like she's six.

"It is but--" Perrie didn't finish her sentence when she saw the little her fall on the ground, scratching her knee on the pavement.

"Hey kiddo" Aiden approached little Perrie and went down to her level, taking out a disinfectant wipe. They all stood there shocked.

"Who are you? Mummy told me to never trust strangers" Little Perrie sniffed.

"My name's Aiden, don't worry, I won't hurt you. We just need to get your wound clean so nothing bad will happen to it" He said as he gently wipe her would. Little Perrie flinched.

"It hurts" Little Perrie mumbled.

"It does, but if we don't clean it the wound might have infection and it won't turn out fine"

"Okay" Perrie mumbled letting Aiden clean her would. When he was finished, he helped her stand up. She wrapped her little arms around his waist.

"Thank you" Perrie said. Aiden chuckled.

"Anytime, kiddo. C'mon, let's go find your parents" The scence then soon changed to a little girl with big glasses on and a pile of books in front of her. She looks like she's studying for a test.

"Hey! Nerd!" Someone yelled and threw a paperball at her. Coreen flinched but didn't do anything while her classmates laughed at her.

"Freak!" One of them yelled and soon all of them chanted it.

"I'm not a freak!" Coreen yelled, tears escaping her eyes.

"What is going on here?" Aiden walked in the library making the children's laughter stop. "Go to your room now, and I need to have a word with your parents" He said. The students left the library leaving him and Coreen. Aiden approached a teary Coreen.

"Hey, don't cry" Aiden cooed wiping her tears.

"Why don't they like me?" Coreen asked in her small voice.

"They're just not used of having someone special like you with them"

"Then...Why are they calling me a freak?" Coreen sniffed, looking down at her hands.

"Hey" He pulled her chin up so she would look at him, "You're not a freak, you are a very beautiful, smart, and talented young lady"

"You think so?" Coreen asked with a small smile. Aiden nodded.

"So don't cry anymore, 'kay?" Aiden said and Coreen nodded.

"Mummy look I found--Mummy?" Little Sophia asked looking around for her mum in the mall. She wasn't watching where she was going so she bumped onto someone making her land on her butt.

"Oh hey, are you okay?" Aiden bent down to help her up.

"I lost my mummy" Sophia mumbled.

"Oh...Well, let's go find her" Aiden suggested and offered his hand. Sophia held it as the walk in the department store.

"What are you holding?" Aiden asked even though he already knew the answer.

"A dress" Sophia replied, "It would go well with my bag"

"Look at you, so young yet gou already know so much about fashion. Tell you what? I'll buy you that dress first then we go look for your mum"

"Okay!"

"Okay! Next!" A man yelled. Eleanor stood up and went into the room and stood up in front of three people.

"Hello, what's your name?" A lady asked, she had a kind smile on her face.

"I'm Eleanor!" Eleanor smiled as she introduce herself.

"Well Eleanor, you are a lovely little lady! Go over there and pose for the camera" One of the judges said. Eleanor nodded and did what the judge told.

"Well hello, what's your name?" Aiden asked, walking in the room with a expensive camera in his hands.

"I'm Eleanor!" She smiled.

"I'm Aiden. Eleanor, why don't you pose for me, yeah?" Aiden said as he aim the camera on her. Eleanor posed and smiled.

"Good, your shots are great! You might actually win this competition!" Aiden said after taking a few shots of her, "You're a natural"

"Thank you!" Eleanor smiled.

"Wanna see your shots?" Aiden said and Eleanor nodded, running to his side, looking at her photos.

Danielle walked in the room with her bag on her shoulder. She looked around and saw no one. She looked at her watch and saw 6:45 am. She's fifteen minutes early. She set her bag on the side of the room and went to the speaker, playing some upbeat music. She went to the center of the room and danced to the beat. She was repeating the steps their instructors taught them. Minutes later she was a sweaty mess so she decided to stop. She went to the speaker and shut it then walked to her bag taking out her towel and bottle of water; chugging on it.

"The studio doesn't open for the next ten minutes" Someone said. She turned her head to see Aiden standing at the door, "And how did you get in?"

"I know and I have my ways" Danielle replied shrugging. He chuckled.

"You're something kid" He said shaking his head, "What's your name kid?"

"I'm Danielle, you?"

"Aiden. I saw you dancing a while ago, you're really good"

"Thank you, Dancing is my dream"

"I'm sure you'll be an amazing dancer someday" Aiden smiled.

The girls got back to present and they all stood there, shocked as they look at Aiden.

"I wasn't joking when I said I've been watching you all my life. I'm always around all of you"
