Robin's POV

My eyes blinked open, the sun was shining and patterns danced across the sheets. June' eyes 

fluttered open and I brushed her jet-black hair behind her ear, which made her smile.

"Get up June. It's already 9:00 a.m"

Her smile immediately turned to a pout, "But I'm so tired! I want to sleep more."

I jumped out of bed and nudged her arm, "Come on!"

"Noo let me sleep for 5 more minutes" she said turning to her side.

"June...don't make me drag you out of bed" I said with a warning in my voice

"Mhmm 5 more minutes" she mumbled

"You asked for it" I pulled off the covers and scooped June out of bed, carrying her bridal style.

"Hey put me down!" She demanded, her hands pounding on my chest

"Not until you get ready" I said smiling at her with a devious grin

"Fine" she huffed

After we had gotten ready, I said to her: "June, research some good attractions to visit. Oh, and restaurants too."

She jokingly replied "On it sir."

We decided to visit the famous Merlion first, and the place was already crowded when we arrived. We decided it would be better if came here at night because it would less crowded and the lights would make it more beautiful. June suggested we go to Bugis Junction so they could buy gifts for their friends and family.

"Oh! This is perfect" June said holding up a silver key chain of the Merlion

"Mhmm I think I'll get a postcard of the 'Gardens by the Bay'" I replied

"Oh sir by the way, I was looking at our schedule and we have something tonight"

"Really? What is it?"

"Its uhh a party of some sort...like a informal meeting with the executives from the convention"

"And where is this 'informal meeting' being held and what time?" I asked

"At the Trace Club at 6:00 pm" she replied

"Alright, we should get some proper clothing"

I took June to UNIQLO and had her try some different dresses. In the end she got a high waisted blue skirt with a white sleeveless blouse and just got khakis and a light blue shirt.

June's POV

6:00 rolled around and we called a taxi to take us to the club

I've never liked clubs, they're so loud and they're so many sweaty and drunk people dancing. Robin must have sensed my discomfort because he reached over and grabbed my hand.

"Don't worry June, just stick close to me and you'll be fine" he said with a comforting smile

The taxi pulled up at the club and from where I'm sitting I could already hear the loud music and the people laughing.

I enter the club and immediately get pushed and pulled by sweating people that reeked of alcohol. Robin's grabs my hand and pulls me close to his chest as we make our way through the sea of people until we reach the executives sitting at the bar.

"Hello Robin, how are you doing?" the executives said greeting him with one of those manly pat on the back and handshakes

I decided to leave the men to talk out their business and get myself a drink.

"Hey pretty lady, what can I get for you?" the bartender asked

"Um could I get ginger ale please?" I asked knowing I would get weird looks for ordering something non-alcoholic

"Ginger ale? An unusual request but sure"

The bartender slide the drink across the counter, I sat at the counter and watched the others dancing and chatting with other people. Suddenly, someone grabbed my hand, I turned around and came face to face with a guy that had stringy greasy looking hair, beady brown eyes and clothing that had holes in them

"Come dance with me pretty lady" he said smiling showing his rotting teeth

"Uh no thank you, I prefer to be alone"

"I won't take no for an answer pretty girl" he said grabbing my arm and pulling me towards the dance floor

"No stop it, I don't want to dance with you, you perverted creep. Let go of my arm" I said trying to get out of his grasp

"Fine you don't want to dance? Then lets get out of here and have some fun" he said pulling me towards the exit

I started hyperventilating, if I called out to Robin would he hear me? I tried twisting away from his grasp but he was too strong

"ROBIN! R-" The creep covers my mouth

.............................................................................................

Robin's POV

I can see that June is uncomfortable at clubs so I tell her to stick close to me. When we reach the executives, I see from the corner of my eye that she leaves to go the bar and orders ginger ale? She's so adorable...

I turn back to the conversation at hand, when suddenly I hear June call out for me. I turn around and look for her, but I can't find her and I see her drink was still left at the counter. I excuse myself from the conversation and look around for her. I catch a glimpse of her blue skirt near the exit door, I quickly run to exit and see some guy manhandling June.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" I shouted at the man in the shadows

"R-robin...is that y-you?" I heard her voice from the darkness but can't see her clearly

"Mind your own business man" the man said

"Why don't you run back to the bar like a good little boy" I said in a cold voice stepping forward

"H-hey man, I'll leave" he said running back inside

I run to June and see that she has been drugged, looks like the guy injected something into her upper arm

"June sweetie, are you alright? Can you stand?"

"I-I-I feel so dizzy, m-my head it hurts" she said clutching onto my arm like it was a life vest before collapsing

"June? June? wake up! Someone call 911!"

I can't lose her

June's POV

The world why was it dark? why was the ground spinning...spinning like a ballet dancer. My head, it hurts so much...why does it hurt? 

Everything fades...it's so black...pitch black
