Daniel's POV:

I pulled her away from the rest of the crowd and into a dark pathway and pushed her onto the wall. "I think I told you not come in my way again. Are you deaf, or simply stupid to understand that?"

She scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Don't think so high of yourself Danny boy. I am not here for you. I am here for someone else."

"Who?!"

She smirked and trailed her hand down my arm. "Are you feeling jealous?"

I pushed her away in disgust. "I don't care who you're with. Just stay away from me and Sam!"

I started to walk away when her voice sounded again. "You better keep her close if you wanna stay together."

I stopped on my track. Giving her a death glare I stomped towards her and clutched her neck. I pushed her onto the wall and it was very tempting at the moment to crush her throat. "What did you say?"

She simply smirked and wrapped her hand around my wrist. "Keep her close or you might fall into the temptation of my hands."

"You're disgusting!" I shoved her away and rushed off from there. Just as I exited the building, Zorro rushed off towards me. "There you are! What are you doing here?"

"Just had to deal with an idiot!"

"Blake's in the lavatory." He frowned in confusion.

I rolled my eyes. "I was not talking about him. Why were you searching for me anyway?"

"Ohh!" His eyes widened. "The show is about to start!"

He grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the green room. "I haven't found Sam yet."

He dodged through the crowd, guiding us both in. "We'll find her after the show. We have no time now. Or better yet, she might be waiting for you in the backstage right now. After all it's our opening night!"

"I hope so." I muttered and let him pull me towards the backstage.

                            ***************
She was not there. I waited out till the last second before I was literally pushed onto the stage but still she wasn't here. My eyes scanned the crowd until I felt a hand on my arm. I turned to see Cath smile at me. "You ready?"

"Yeah." I barely smiled back and the music began. Surprisingly we performed really well. Any doubts of the previous moments were long forgotten but one thing kept occupying my mind. As soon as the music stopped, I bowed down and rushed towards the backstage only to be pulled into a hug.

I would have appreciated it if it were a soft body with a height bit shorter than mine, but turns out this body was opposite to everything I thought; definitely a man! I groaned and pushed myself away. I would have strolled past him if it weren't for the authoritative voice.

"Mr. Daniel, in a hurry to go somewhere?"

"Uh.." I cleared my throat as I looked into the commanding eyes of Mr. Jefferson. He didn't seem like he was exactly my fan at the moment. "I was actually..."

"Whatever it may be could wait for a few minutes I suppose. Nothing could be as important as your future in the line would it Mr. Daniel?"

Actually there was something, something more important than everything he had to talk about, but the future he was talking about wasn't mine alone. It held the future of everyone I loved and everyone that trusted me to lead them and I wouldn't turn them down.
