New title...new cover

Unedited...read with caution

In the depths of her own mind, one thing circulated it and as far as she knew, she would bend the center of the earth to get it done. Revenge is her only mission that brought her to the very people she wanted to destroy, it was the only certainty in which she believed would bring her peace...and justice for her parents

She lacked behind bushes watching her targets sip coffee comfortably in a cafe across from where she currently hid. She needed a plan of attack, a cover she could use to lure them into a trap and then destroy them...slowly

Catherine and Benjamin Walter sat inside Frisco's cafe sipping coffee comfortably not knowing they were being watched. “In all our years of marriage, why have'nt you brought here before?”  Said Mrs Walter yet again sipping her coffee with foam milk, not minding its bitter taste. “Its because I knew you'd fall in love with this place more than you do me” Replied Mr Walter smiling at his wife lovingly

Not knowing what lies ahead of them -

The ringing of Xena Jane's phone was the interruption of her continuation of her favourite novel. She lowered her book enough to peak at her ringing tone, and yet again the unknown numbers were flashing on her screen. The caller seemed to be one heck of a persistent person though, which only rose her suspicions that Austin Miller is on the other end of that line, ever since she ignored the text that she was concerned over, but decided to ignore anyway...and now her phone has not stopped ringing ever since

On the other hand, Xena Jane was actually quite patient, learnt the skill of patience from her mother, pecks of being a nurse in a public hospital. So in this regard, she decided to wait out the call until it stopped ringing, knowing fully well he was going to call until she picked up

After the fifth time, she decided to just end her self torture and just pick up. “It's 11pm and I assume you're one heck of a night rider, but some of us actually sleep when its bed time Miller” Was her greeting the minute she picked up, which ruled against her when she heard the owner of the voice

“Either I have dialed a wrong number or you have been keeping secrets from me”

The voice of her mother on the other end of the line, had her jumping away from her desk and into her sheets in record time...still in her clothes. She knew it was late and she was suppose to be dreaming about Harvard Law right now, but she was up reading till we meet again, for the hundredth time now. “Mother, I didn't know you changed your numbers”

“I didn't, I'm using someone else's phone”

“Oh? Who's? Dr Ryan? Should I be concerned?” Xena Jane knew teasing her mother wouldn't get her anywhere, yet she still found it amusing that her single mother has had an eye for her boss since she started working for the man and has never had the guts to tell him. “Nice try, who's Miller? Is it a boy? Cause if it is, I don't know if I'd be relief that you not physically incapable of making friends. Or excited that you don't have imaginary one's”

Wendy Jane has been concerned with her only daughters none existent social life since the unfortunate turn of events with her ex husband and father to her only daughter. Robert Tate wasn't exactly father of the year, and most definitely not husband of the century, but he made met his due responsibilities of raising Xena, until he grew tired of it. And for Xena, seeing her role model dissappear from her life like that, has caused her to shut people off in accordance to dealing with emotional pain. The abrupt disappearance of her father in her life caused her to withdraw from human interactions, especially with her own peers. Ever since Robert Tate left, raising Xena alone hasn't been a walk in the park, and she actually thought him leaving would work in her favour. And to think that she was once a happy kid with a normal childhood

“Its just like you to mock my ways of living, its not my fault I have turned out to be no social endeavour. Unlike you, I don't favour teenage - ”

“Teenage drama yes I know, and prolonging the inevitable only makes me more curious about this Miller fellow”

Its just like her mother to automatically assume without confirmation that Miller was a boy, granted he is, but those words never really left her mouth. “And you assuming its a boy in the first, says a lot” She turned now laying with her back facing the ceiling, balancing her phone. Her snorted, “I don't assume darling, I know. And don't try and avert the question, I asked who he is, more especially to you. Do I need to sharped my strict mom act?”

“Oh forget mother, goodnight and have a crappy night shift” 

“Oh no you don't, this conversation is not over until I declare it is” With annoyance laced in her voice, Xena Jane replied “He's just a stupid boy who didn't know I existed just yesterday and less than 24 hours ago, he involuntarily became my partner for a project in physics and I believe he now somehow has my number, which I didn't give to him and has been messaging me. There happy now?”

“Not quite satisfied, but at least you making progress bun. Alright I have got to go, but remember -”

“Never sleep with Windows open or creeps might find it as an open invitation, I know” The conversation ended as she pressed the end call button without a goodbye to her mother, who wasn't taking this abrupt end call very nicely. She decided she might as well call it a night, since it was way past her bed time anyway. But before she could fully sleep, she exchanged her clothes for her night gown and checked if all the windows were fully shut before calling it a night and sleeping

Not knowing tomorrow her life might change, either for the better or worse
