I walk into my room happily, opening my closet door to find something to celebrate the festive occassion. " Boo!" My stepbrother Gilbert shouts. I'm used to this, so I don't yell out in surprise. " What are you doing in my room, you freak!?" I say, giggling nervously. He leans in so close, I can smell that awful aftershave of his. " Nadine.... I know what you're planning, you're tearing this family apart!" I blink in astonishment. How could he know? The world is spinning out of control under me.. I faint. When I come to, alll I can see is a cruel smile, " Nadine remember my warning...." Gilbert swiftly steps out of the room. But not before I hear something clatter to the ground. Scrambling frantically along the floor, I feel the hilt of a knife, and-
"AAHHHHHHHH!!" I wake up drenched in sweat. This memory has been haunting me in my dreams for 2 months, and I remember it with perfect clarity. I still don't understand the big deal with going to Paris..... I mean sure, it's bound to make my parents nevous about me being on my first trip alone, but something Gilbert said is hard to grasp..... something about himself..... Ugh! It's no use, I can't remember! I fall down upon my pillows, lost in thought. In my subconcious memory, I swear I remember a knife inching closer to my throat before I woke up. But Gilbert is not a violent person. I'm missing a piece of this puzzle, and I have to figure it out..... and yet, I realize with an overwhelming feeling of dread, Gilbert was trying to kill me!
