     "We're here to see Miss Thea Whyte," I tell the officer as I shift my weight from my right leg to the left nervously.

     "Thea...Whyte," she mumbles as she scrolls down the computer screen for the name.

Nervously, I switch my weight to my right leg and run my fingers through my mars black hair. I let out a sigh before looking across at Mae who is grinding her teeth and glaring at me from across the room.

     "Nope," the officer sighs. "Are you sure you got the name right? We've never had a Thea Whyte."

Did Christopher lie to me?

     "What he means is Oceana Falls," Mae states.

     "Oceana Falls, of course," the officer scowls. "She's in the young teens containment, cell one. It's through that door over there," she point to her right, "turn left, it's the first door. If you'd like to talk to her, I'll call her out to the visitor's section."

     "We would also like to see her mother," Mae bluntly states.

     "Of course."

Spying through the crack in the door, I see the beautiful face of: Thea Whyte. Bits of her shoulder-length, silky, smooth, black hair hang down, framing the sides of her spotless, caramel coloured complexion of her face. 

Simply Beautiful.

Her light brown eyes are glaring angrily at a familiar figure as they argued.

Mary-Alice Falls.

Oceana Falls.

It all makes sense now. But why did she call herself Thea Whyte back in America? Was that a cover name? Why would she do that? Did she know Christopher wanted her dead?

     "Move," Mae demands, pushing me away and storming into the Visitor's Centre.

Both Oceana and Mary-Alice Falls stop shouting and stare silently at Mae.

     "Mae," Oceana growls out angrily when she takes in Mae's figure. "What do you want now? I'm already in Jail -stuck with this woman," she points at her mother, "and you and Christopher are walking around like free men. What now? Come to rub in the fact that you shot Grayson?"

Shot.

.

.me?

     "Hello, ungrateful child," Mae sneers. "You have a visitor."

With a feign smile, Mae roughly drags me through the threshold of the door.

     "Say 'Hi' to your boyfriend."

Boyfriend?

Thea stares wide-eyed at me as if she cannot believe I'm standing right across from her.

Neither can I.


Thea's my girlfriend?

But she killed my father?

Mae shot me?

Mary-Alice and Christopher are Thea's parents?

Thea lied about her name and she is actually named Oceana Falls?


Everything is just too confusing.                    .                    .

I turn to walk away to meditate on all I'd just found out.

     "Grayson?" I hear The-- Oceana's soft voice crack as she calls out to me. "Do you remember me?"

I force a smile.

     "Sure, you're Thea."

...disappointed.


Punch.


What happened between us?


Punch.

Punch.

Punch.


     Letting out a sigh,I watch as the contents of the punching bag spill to the floor. Gasping for air, I pull off my shirt and lie down on the floor with my arms spread wide. Watching the row of damaged punching bags, I feel the rise and fall of my chest in tune to my slow breaths. I do a short cool down session before cleaning up the mess and heading to the bathroom to wash up.

     Instead of heading back to my father's mansion, I decided to spend the night at Christopher's place to gather more information on Th-- Oceana Falls.

'     I take a deep breath before knocking on the apartment door. My father wants me to do a favour for his best friend: Christopher Love, here in America.

Mary-Alice Falls, I think her real name is, but she calls herself Courtney Whyte.

     "Courtney Whyte," I nod when a familiar blonde-haired, forest-green-eyed woman opens the door.

Christopher had shown me a picture.

I'm supposed to offer her medicine for her sickness.

     "I suppose you're here from Chris," she states.

"Come on in."     '

Hello Humans,

I just want to say, I'm thankful for those you decided to give my book a chance.

I'm truly grateful, thank you everyone!

In the next chapter you'll see:

1) More of our Dangerous Beauty: Oceana Falls

2) Grayson's past with her evil mother: Mary-Alice Falls.

Yours Sincerely,
