It was a week before prom night, it was the talk of the town. Boys and girls getting the last alterations to their outfits , getting asked out on dates and then their was Autumn who didn't even want to go but was being forced by her father so the family could be 'shown off'

While Autumn didn't want to attend she began her ball preparations she decided she was going to shave her face as she read one of Mia's magazines and it seemed that all the celebrities were doing this, Autumn didn't like to admit it but she wanted to look just like them but she did enjoy being her own unique self it was a constant battle in her head. Shortly after reading this magazine she took herself to the bathroom grabbed a razor and began shaving however she forgot one key thing shaving cream...After she had done it she felt like a new woman she looked in the mirror expecting to look fantastic but instead she had 2 large razor marks on her face. she wanted to cry of embarrassment. She quickly walked to her room to hide in there but her father had other ideas. 'Daughter come here a second' he said. Autumn hesitantly walked over to him and he burst out laughing like he was at a comedy show. He continued laughing in her face making her feel like a pratt. He then proceeded to say "i shall call you mutton chops now" She stormed off with pain in her eyes yet he continued to mock her from down the hall. It was literally echoing through her mind and ears.

This gave roger an idea to divide and conquer. He realised that no boy would want his so called daughter if she looked liked that so he began to create a heinous plan that would change the trio forever, as if they weren't already broken enough. His plan contained 2 steps and he was ready to start step 1 this began by him asking Mia to speak with him privately.

It was now Roger and Mia in his home office together the room was filled with tension already. "Amelia i have a task for you and it comes with a very big prize" The confused girl replied with "pre tell what is it" he explained his plan briefly however he twisted a few things. "So i feel awfully bad for my mutton chops Autumn she hasn't got a date to prom and i want her to have one would you write a note and put it in her locker pretending to be the Killerman's and try make it seem like it's by Kenny" Amelias face dropped and she retailed by saying "Why would i ever do that, your daughter doesn't deserve to be treated like that she shouldn't need a fake date and most importantly that is a MAN why not Kyle someone who is her own age? i don't care what your so called prize is no i will not do this" His eyes filled with pure evil as he realised he knew how to trap her he raised an eyebrow and rose to Mia by suggesting "he would find her dad and bring him back" Mia likes to say she doesn't care about her absent father however when roger said that her eyes turned into desperation. She felt her child-self come back again and she immediately said yes. They worked out the plan down to a T. While Mia deep down felt bad she just wanted her dad. As the plan was created he demanded that Amelia mae shall never speak of their plan.

As Mia left he chucked to himself as he managed to get another innocent girl into his trapped web. Little did the hopeful Amelia  know is that Roger was lying he wanted a way to break the siblings as he had picked up a while back his son wouldn't back down or leave until his sister did too, even if they wasn't close they were inseparable because all they had was each other and Roger despised that he lived for the evil side of life. He wanted self satisfaction, he thought this was his only way to get it and surely if reece thought his sister was going to prom with a man older than him he would flip? He knew reece to well, whatever way reece reacted it would end badly with one of the biggest results being Autumn would abandon him. However all will be revealed in the next chapter.
