Facing Rejection

Nearly poisoned....but by who?

"Arrrrr!! im sooo hungryyy!" I moaned,grabbing my stomach while looking around."Anyone wanna go to eat with me?"

Ashley jumped up and squealed," Finalllyyy! Ure going out for lunch! Let's go! See you fifteen minutes from now." With that, she rushed off to her room, god knows to do what.

I shook my head and chuckled. Typical Ashley, always so ready for fun and excitement. How am i gonna get ready in only 15 minutes? Well, guess i gotta try.

In my room's closet, i searched for a casual and decent looking outfit for lunch. What could i wear? Ive never gone out for a casual lunch before when i was in my old pack, except formal balls and parties, to clean and serve.(note the irony) Suddenly by chance, i came across a casual red top and white shorts. I grinned and said to myself"this should be the right outfit."

"BELLATRIX, GET YOUR SEXY ASS DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!"A surprisingly loud voice for a female yelled up the stairs.That must be Ashley.

Hurriedly putting on my clothes, i sat on my dressing table and said to myself," okay, now you're going into your old town, just for lunch. Its gonna be alright, you're not the old bellatrix anymore,k?" However hard i soothed myself, i could not shake off the feeling of something bad is gonna happen.

~In a restaurant~

"Good evening, ladies. What would you like to order?"

I stared around the restaurant, taking in every single detail of the restaurant.All is normal, but why am i feeling so wrong right now?

"Bella yo! Hello?"I snapped out of my trance and found both the waiter and Ashley staring at me. "Oh um, i would like a classic prawn please." The waiter took down our order and left.

I leaned over to Ashley," Hey Ash, do you feel something weird is going on around here?" Ashley looked around and whispered," No.But i feel as if someone's staring at us." We leaned back, feeling uncomfortable.

Finally our food came and smelt very alluring, breaking the tense atmosphere around us. I looked at my food with pleasure and held up my fork, planning to dig into the delicious food. The second before i put the food into my mouth, i stared at the prawn stuck in the middle of my form. It looks weird.I touched it with the tip of my finger and the skin on my fingertip sizzled. I slapped Ashley's hand which was slowly delivering another piece of prawn into her mouth. "Wait a minute. Be careful. I think its poisoned."

Ashley stared at me for a minute before bursting forth a series of heart-wrenching coughs. I hurriedly poured water down her throat while secretly placing a piece of prawn into my pocket to bring home. Helping Ashley up, i rapidly steered her to her car and jumped into the drivers seat. With a last glance at the name of the restaurant, i swerved onto the highway, heading towards home.

On the way, Ashley spluttered,"What happened, why is tht fucking prawn poisoned?" I rubbed her shoulder comfortingly and said,"lets get you home and fixed up."

At the same time,wondering the same thing over and over again.

I'm sure someone wants to poison us, or i should say, me. But the problem is, who?
