[A/N: Hi guys, here is chapter 12. I hope you like it. PB....if you are reading this.....you don't have to continue haha :P]

“Come on in” Raven opened the door up wider. In stepped a girl that I faintly remember seeing in the competition. She was about my height with straight jet black hair that didn’t even reach her shoulders.

“Hi” Sabrina smiled politely. She didn’t giggle at all. I think she missed Georgia and this was too much of a shock. I know I was shocked.

“Hi” the girl rolled her eyes.

“Raven, Sabrina, Iris…please meet Jamie” James introduced us all. Jamie. Jamie. Why was that name so familiar?

“So this is my bed?” Jamie asked pointing to Georgia’s neatly made top bunk. I couldn’t speak, I just nodded. It was like Georgia was being replaced and so quickly. Everything was happening too fast.

“Have a nice afternoon, ladies” James smiled as he left.

“What? Are you mute or something?” Jamie snapped to me. I must have been staring at her or something, trying to work out where I had heard her name before.

“S-sorry” I stuttered.

“This is so crap” Jamie sighed as she looked around the dorm.

“Excuse me?” Raven asked trying to sound polite.

“You’re dorm sucks no wonder your other dorm mate left” Jamie smiled wickedly. That was it.

“Shut up!” I screamed as I stood up. “How dare you talk about Georgia, you didn’t even know her. You have no right to come in here and call our dorm crap. So just shut the hell up!” I snapped. I couldn’t believe how I had reacted. It was way over-the-top but my care factor was zero.

“Oh a fiery one, huh?” Jamie smirked.

“I’m going to dinner early” I said to Sabrina and Raven. I gave Jamie one final glare and then left the dorm room. What the hell was going on? I had a new dorm mate? Since when? I needed to talk to Blade. He would make me feel better, he understood. I practically ran through the mansion. Everything was like a blur. I could barely make out the figure in front of me until I heard the voice.

“Iris?”

“Blade!” I ran straight into him. Before he could say anything else I gripped his arms tightly. I wasn’t going to cry, there was no way I was going to cry again.

“Everything is going to be ok now. I’m here. Ok?” Blade whispered as he pulled me into a hug. I took some very deep breaths, fighting back my tears, before I spoke.

“We have a new dorm mate” I explained.

“What’s her name?” Blade asked as he led me to a chair to sit down on. We had entered the dining hall and sat as the mansion staff set up dinner.

“Jamie”

“Jamie!”

“Yeah, what’s wrong? I think I have heard her name before but I can’t remember where”

“She is the one that…the one that…” Blade said like he was breathless or something. What the hell was going on now? It was like this competition couldn’t be normal; then again this competition was far from normal.

“Oh Blade darling, how are you?” Jamie smirked as she entered the dining room.

“Jamie!” Blade snapped to attention. What?

“Blade what’s going on?” I asked feeling fear in the pit of my stomach.

“Iris…” Blade began.
