PROLOGUE
Evangelina (or Angie, as she liked to be called) grabbed her hot pink backpack from her bed and rushed out of her bedroom. She gently squeezed the delicate silver necklace on her neck as she slid down the stairs. "Perfect!" She couldn't help but to compliment on her perfect landing off the stairs bainster. Just as she suspected, two guards were already heading her way from her left. This was going to be tougher than she thought.
"Please hold on, Miss!" the two guards said in sync. She was not going to give up that easily. Angie rushed through the two grand mahogany doors, running at top speed through the beautiful garden.
Ten meters till the gates, five meters, two meters... Damn, the gates were locked. Angie turned around and saw five guards closing in on her. She bit hard into her soft pink lower lip and ran towards the surrounding brick walls on her right instead. She threw her backpack over the high walls, hearing a satisfying "thud" as the backpack landed on the ground. She could smell the fresh air outside of this entrapped envrionment, instead of the constant whiff of lilies in the garden. She couldn't find words to describe the smell, the scent.................It was the smell of freedom. She made a daring climb onto the wall. Her natrural atheletic skills brought her easily over the high brick walls. She managed a rather graceful landing as she slid off the top of the walls. She knew that she was running out of time. By now, the guards should be almost through the gates, not far from her landing spot. She had originally planned to take a cab - where were the cabs when she needed one? There was not a single car in sight. She heaved a deep sigh and decided to dash across the road first, just to gain some distance between her and the guards. She picked up her backpack, gave it a light pat to dust off the dirt, and slung it over one shoulder. She dashed across the open road.
Out of nowhere, a shiny-grey BMW appears, threatening a heavy impact on Angie's delicate body. The driver steps hard onto the brakes. Angie turned and looked at the oncoming BMW with dilated pupils as she heard the shrieking screech, fixed to the ground from the shock. It was too late. The BMW screeched to a stop just as it impacted on Angie's body, throwing her to the ground. Angie hit the ground relentlessly, while her backpack sailed through the air and landed five meters away from her. Her head gave a slight bob as it hit the ground. She could still hear the distant shouts from the guards, searching for her. She could hear some jostling in the car, the driver was unlocking the door. Her head gave one last jolt from the impact and fell onto her side. Angie lost consciousness.
A tall, lean figure stepped out of the BMW. His dark brown brows furrowed over his dark blue eyes. He stared down at Angie with great confusion. He was meant to be meeting his friends just outside of school tonight... It seemed like he would have to cancel his plans now. But yet, he was already starting to pity her. He turned around in alert as he heard the distant shouts of the guards. He gave one last mystified look at Angie, then scooped her up easily in his arms and placed her in the backseats of his car. Of course, his sharp eyes have already caught sight of the hot pink backpack just two meters away from the car. He picked up the backpack and dropped it into the frontseat. He opened the driver's door and climbed in. He ignited the engine and with a slight purr, the shiny-grey BMW sped away in the dark night.
