Redguard: hell

Chapter 16: Rehersal

I was out of the hospital, even though it was only a week I missed a lot. I was back in the dorms exploring the top dorms every day that Akira would come back from school, he filled me in on every that happened. We found more jewels and letters everyday unravelling the story more and more. I was eventually back to school and heather never returned, Alison and Courtney kept to themselves but partying almost every night. Eric became crazier and Flynn joined with him, Akira wasn't even acting normal either he seemed more protective of me but never admitted it. 

The play was fast approaching and I learned the lines under a week while Akira  had a little problem learning the kidnapped lines. He couldn't stop laughing at them while Mrs. Krooke always threatened about recasting his character.The first rehearsal was a mess, Flynn held back on the marriage scene while Akira held back at the stabbing part (I always checked to see if it wasn't a real knife, just to be sure.) We eventually got it right in a week before the actual show and we got our costumes.

Mine was a lacy purple and black dress with long velvet sleeves, the pattern on the undercoat was absolutely beautiful. The bodice hugged my hips and a long black overcoat sewed on the top. It had a matching choker with a small jewel crest hanging off of it, it seemed like the small jewel had fallen off in the mail. The silver jewel holder looked empty and it defiantly needed something. I walked out of my dressing room seeing Akira sorting out his ruffles. "Oh Monika, hi. You look stunning!" I smiled. Flynn was wearing a long navy overcoat  as dark as the sea with a ruffled t shirt. Soon after, Akira walked out later pulling on his leather gloves. He had a black waistcoat with a pocket watch an red contact lenses in. We started rehearsing and the day before we got it perfect.
