Giselle's POV
We are at Internationals. We have two rounds to go. Out of nowhere, Lucien comes around the corner. He pushes Kate over onto her side.

"Oh my gosh Kate are you okay?" I asked Kate as I rush over to her.

"I'm fine," she said, but I could see that she was really in pain.

Michelle was already on the phone with 911. I held Miss Kate's hand as we waited. Riley held tight to James. I could tell that Riley was scared. I think we all were, at least a little. The paramedics finally arrived, and took Kate to the hospital.

"Let's all go to our rooms and get some rest. We'll meet up tomorrow for semi finals. Let's meet here at 5pm," I suggested.

I had to take charge. I'm the dance captain. I didn't know what else to do.
I got a chorus of yeses and okays and good ideas before everyone went their separate ways. I went up to the room that I was sharing with Michelle and Thalia.

"You did good," Michelle said to me as we walked.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yes," Michelle said.

Riley's POV
"What are we going to do?" I asked James as we settled down to watch a movie in the boys room. Max and Noah had gone to get something to eat, so Thalia and I were with our boyfriends.
That's right. Thalia gets Eldon.

"Don't even worry about it," James said.

I sighed. Why did I expect James to answer like a normal person?

Cierra's POV
This is going to be a long night. I really like Miss Kate. She welcomed a lot of us dancers from Elite to her studio with open arms. She doesn't deserve this. I text Giselle Did you tell Phoebe yet? Giselle replied No, but I will soon. I said K.

Giselle's POV
I guess I should call Phoebe and tell her that Kate is in the hospital. I dial the phone number for TNS, hoping that Phoebe is there.

"Hello, you've reached The Next Step dance studio," Phoebe said.

"Hi. Phoebe? It's Giselle. I just wanted to let you know that Kate's in the hospital. Lucien hurt her. Badly. Someone will let you know when we know more," I said.

"Thanks for letting me know Giselle. Bye," Phoebe said.

"Bye," I said.

Phoebe's POV
I'm really worried about Kate. She's my sister.

The next day, I walk into B-Troupe rehearsal. I don't feel ready to start rehearsal yet, since I haven't heard anything about Kate. I decide to let them chat among themselves for a few more minutes. After a few minutes, Richelle looks at me.

"What's your first sibling memory Phoebe?" Richelle asks.

Oh, so that's what they were talking about.

"I really don't know, I mean I'm adopted," I said, then stopped suddenly.

I didn't mean to tell them that.

"You're adopted?" Skylar asked.

"Yeah," I said.

Giselle's POV
It's 5pm, and A Troupe is meeting outside of our dressing room now.

"What are we going to do?" Riley asked.

"We are going to dance in the semi finals. I figure Kate won't be here. I've tried to call her several times today, but I had no luck in reaching her," I said.

"Okay," Michelle said.

We all went our separate ways, putting on costumes and doing make up and hair.

We all gathered backstage.

"Let's do this. For Miss Kate," I said.

Everyone nodded.

The music, Open up, started, and I back handspringed on stage. We did our dance; a combination of jazz, acro and hip hop.
