[ KAITLIN'S P.O.V. ]

Huff...

I've been running around the halls for an hour and yet I can't shake off my pursuers.

The Daily Contest has started awhile ago and here I am being the Sacrificial Prize keeps on hiding so that I won't get caught.

I've only rested for like 30 minutes since the time I had entered my Physics class but it wasn't enough due to my professor dismissing all of us earlier than the 1 1/2 hour of regular class sched that we should have and having known that I don't have any class anymore, my pursuers started to catch me.

Ahead of me is a corner that I have to make a turn but I have to be really careful or else I might clash with someone and it would be worse if that someone is one of the people who is trying to get me.

Carefully, I turn to the corner only to be surprise to see that Nick and his friends were there waiting for me.

When Nick notice me, he immediately grab hold of my arm and push me inside an empty room with him.

"What do you thi--" Nick hush me with his hand on my mouth as his wicked grin were plastered in his face "I could always expose you if you want"

Outside the empty room, I could hear my pursuers passing by without them knowing where I am.

Some ask Nick's friends but it seems that they lied about my whereabouts because not long after that I couldn't hear my pursuers anymore.

Nick's hand were no longer on my mouth when his best friend, James, entered the room to give us the all clear.

"Thank you" With that said, I was about to exit the room when they block the exit.

"Not so fast Lil sis" The wicked grin of my brother was now creeping me out but I didn't say anything as I await his explanation for all this.

"I need a favor and considering that I just save you awhile back" Nick walk beside me as he place his arm on my shoulder "You owe me"

"Your kidding" I scoff at what he said thinking that he's only messing with me but the seriousness in his green eyes told me otherwise "Ok... your not kidding"

Note to myself;when Nick want's something he'll do everything in his power to make you indebted to him which in these case it's happening to me.

I brush off Nick's arm on my shoulder as I lean on the desk as we negotiate this favor that my brother wants because to tell you the truth this is the first time that he needed my help which makes me curious but all the more afraid of what it could be.

"I need you to make mom to stay away from the house for 1 week" I look at my brother as if he's crazy cause this is one heck of a favor from him and to say that I'm shock from what I heard is an understatement.

"No!" was my only answer which Nick obviously didn't expect since its true that He did save me earlier but this favor of his could cause me more than me getting caught by my pursuer.

"Come on Kaitlin your the only one who could do this" hearing my name from my brother tells me that he's not going back down from this but neither am I

"I'm serious Nick" I look at Nick with all seriousness "My whole life is going to be the sacrifice once she suspects that something is fishy and I'm not going to do that just because I owe you"

My brother only smirk at my remark making me feel uneasy.

"What are you planning?"

"Let's just say that your life is also on the palm of my hands so you better decide Kaitlin" After he said those words, all of them exited the room.
