Kate was happy to have Michael to herself. Finally she thought she took over that bitches life and could get pregnant with Michael, having another baby, while the real Deidra would suffer with the men she had hired to take care of her. It had been the next few days and she had met who Deidra's real friends were. She met Jenna, Lea, Asia and Kathy. They didn't seem like a bunch of not too bad people, except Lea, who needed an attitude adjusting. She also kept looking at her strangely.

"So what happened Deidra? What did that pyschopath do to you?" Jenna asked with crossed arms while leaning against the wall. Everyone had gathered at Michael's house. Kate had refused to go to the police because she didn't want to be bombarded with questions by them, followed by going to the hospital and that nonsense, though her friends found it weird she let them ask her questions.

Kate adjusted her shirt before clinging a little to Michael, who rubbed her arm in comfort. She was satisfied thinking everyone knew her as Deidra.

"She did awful things. She kept threatening to kill my baby, fed me only fruit and water, which I barely lived off of and I dont know what happened to her, but she just..." she trailed off.

"Just what Deidra?" Lea asked.

"Snapped. She killed my baby!" Kate cried and buried her face into her hands, starting to cry. Everyone frowned and Michael started rubbing her back.

"Sweetie we can always have another child." he whispered near her ear which made her smile on the inside. Kate plastered her sad face but didn't make any other emotion.

"I dont know.." she said, trying to think of what Deidra would do. Damn this is hard. Kate thought to herself. Time passed gradually and everyone soon left, leaving her and Michael. Kate sat on the couch and finally noticed the horror novel sitting on the table. She picked it up glancing through it. It was a Stephen King novel. Kate never read books like those but she noticed the chapter Deidra had left off on. After reading through it she noticed the irony. Kate laughed to herself.

"Whats so funny?" Michael asked then noticed the novel. "Oh." his bright eyes dimmed.

"What's wrong?" Kate asked quickly.

"I'm gonna burn those novels. I always told you something real would come out of that." he said leaning in closer to her, making Kate feel amazed. His scent intoxicated her and she know knew why Deidrar was so damn lucky. The bitch.

"Deidra I'm just glad you're safe now." he said before leaning in and kissing his wife, wrapping his arms around her. Deep down Kate smirked in triumph but for now she played along. She kissed Michael back softly and gently, wrapping her arms around his neck. Michael pulled back with a bright smile and gently picked his wife up.

"C'mon lets go upstairs." he said. 'Deidra' blushed lightly as Michael carried her all the way up and into the bedroom.

Deidra awoke in a van her head throbbing. Where was she going? Who took her? What was happening? She sat up carefully only to be knocked down again because of the speed of the van, and probably potholes in the road. She groaned in agonizing pain as she needed to escape. She could try tuck and roll, but she couldn't chance that with her pregnant belly.

"Sleeping beauty's awake boss." a young male voice said, making her head hurt.

"Good. She needs to know what's happening. Oh princess?" the older gentleman's voice rang. Deidra scrunched up more. She wanted to kick and scream, but her body refused to do either.

"What?" she grumbled. They both laughed before the older one continued.

"Welcome aboard the Manhatten express. You're our new sex slave." that was the last thing Deidra heard before passing out.

3 months later...

The girls were enjoying an afternoon out at the cafe outside all except Lea who unfortunately had to work. Kate had found each of them to be annoying at some point. She wasnt sure how, but she did. And all this pretending was getting so damn hard. She ordered a lotte and everyone looked at her funny.

"Deidra you hate lotte's." Asia pointed out. "You always get a chocolate chip caramel mocca." Kate had did her best not to snap at the quiet girl.

"Well I like trying new things." she said before sitting down with the four girls.

"So have you been recovering okay?" Kathy asked. What an awkward conversation starter, she thought. Deidra shrugged.

"I've been okay." she responded nonchalantly. All the girls except Kate exchanged funny looks.

"Just okay?" Jenna said stirring her shake.

"Yeah just okay." Deidra retorted. They then all shrugged off the response and soon the girls started gossipping. Kate only listened to the annoying giggles and gossip of boys, work and daily life. She'd rather gossip about how she can accomplish killing three girls in three days. And better yet she could kill these girls in one. She felt any minute her nerves were going to snap.

"Why so quiet Deidra?" Kathy asked her blue eyes sparkling. Kate had had it.

"That is it!" she said standing up. "I'd rather gossip about something less girly than you fucking annoying girls." she started storming away but an arm grabbed her, and pulled her around. She was face to face with Jenna.

"I knew it. You're not Deidra. You're an imposter. Who the hell are you?" Jenna said through gritted teeth. Kate smirked. These girls weren't dumb as she thought.

"That sweetie, aint for you to know." Jenna pinned her up to the wall.

"Tell me bitch. Where's Deidra?!" Kate laughed shoving Jenna off of her, leaving the rest of the girls in shock.

"She's in a place where no one can find her or want her." Jenna quickly glanced back. "Kathy and Asia, take my car and warn Michael of this imposter. It's Kate Dansely. Go!" Kathy and Asia nodded before taking Jenna's car keys and running off. Kate narrowed her eyes and faced Jenna.

"You've declared war. You wanna know where she is?" Jenna growled.

"She's in the ghetto area of San Francisco at 2142 5th street. Fifth building on the right. You'll never make it." she sneered before making a run for it. Jenna blinked and started to run after her, knowing if she got away, it would be over.

Kathy and Asia rushed into Michael's office without even bothering telling the secretary why they were there. Michael blinked in surprise at the girl's being there.

"Kathy? Asia? What are you guys doing here? I didn't expect you guys to visit."

"No time Michael. You got to leave work. Deidra is an imposter." Michael frowned.

"What are you talking about?" Kathy sighed and yanked at his arm.

"C'mon lets go!" she said and MIchael got up, following them to Jenna's car. "We'll explain on the way." she said as Asia got a text, explaining which address to go to.
