Lady Storm; oh, okay coolies.

How will I go through this again without uncle Cain?

Well I am royally scotched!!!

••••<End of Recap>••••

So today has been spent worrying about my 'little' problem which will turn into immense pain when it finally decides to show its ugly face. Ah, I'm so not ready to do this again. The days are going so fast. there is this unsettling feeling at the pit of my stomach and I cant seem to shake it off. Something is about to happen and I can feel it, I just don't know what it is but its there.

'Stormi!' Leon said holding my hand pulling me out of my stupor, 'are you okay little sis?' concern swimming within his orbs. I looked up at him and slightly nodded my head.

'are you sure?' he asked again. 'is this about going back to school?' and at this point all eyes were on the two of us. Everyone was waiting for an answer and I wasn't sure what to say. I do want to go to school but after what I saw two weeks ago, I don't think I'm quite ready to face Nico and the others but yet again I cant have anyone believe or even think I remember any of the events that took place that day.

'yes, I'm fine don't worry bro,' I said as I came to a stand and placed a nice, firm smack on his head. 'Don't go all soft on me now, that don't look good on you,' I said playfully punching his shoulder.

'Hey!' Leon shouted. 'that actually hurt, you twat'.

Mom got up in a flash and landed one nerve wrecking slap upon Leons head 'What did I say about that mouth of yours boy, hmm?'

she grabbed his ear between the pads of her thumb and index finger. 'apologize to your sister right away,' she demanded.

'ow, ow, mom that actually hurts you know, Its not funny mom, let goooo,' he whined. ' It hurts so bad.'

'not until I hear an apology coming out your mouth nino, now!' mom insisted.

Now this is what I call entertainment, I mean what more could a younger sibling want other than witnessing their older sibling being reprimanded in front of them.

A giggle threatened to escape so I quickly palmed my mouth before I ended up on moms receiving end.

'sorry' Leon mattered under his breath, eyes down clearly unimpressed.

perfect!!!

'hmmm? what did you say there dear brother? I didn't quite hear,' I teased.

'true, mind saying it a bit louder there Lee? Khloe asked spotting a rather questionable smirk.

'Girls!!!, mom warned. Khloe and I rose our hands in surrender. We hugged mom who all but quickly released Leons ear. Dad kissed us on the forehead and let us walk out the door to the car. Khloe and I both sat in the backseat patiently waiting for a brooding Leon to finally decide to show up. 20 minutes later Leon was parking the car on his usual spot and we hopped out. Sensing my sudden discomfort Khloe and Leon came by me and engulfed me in a hug.

'I'm here for you Storm, I wont let anything happen to you while I am here. What do I always tell you?' Leon asked as he pulled back to look into my watery eyes.

'That I am strong, brave and courageous,' I whispered.

'and I said the reason was?' he countered. I eyed him curiously, my face clearly displaying my confusion. how on earth did he expect her to remember what he said to her back in grade school.

'urgh,' he groaned. 'do you ever listen to me at all?' I looked to my feet as if they were the most interesting thing currently present there.

'Because I am your brother,' he said lifting my chin, willing me to look him in the eye. 'and no one hurts my sister, you get that?' I slowly nodded my head flattering my lashing vigorously to stop the tears in my eyes from falling.

'now chin up princess, or that tiara might fall,' he said with a wince and a small smile which turned into a full blown grin showing off his pearly whites.

'right!, Khloe said yanking my hand into hers, aligning our fingers and brought them up between us and said. 'Lets blow this popsicle stand,' as she walked forward pulling me along with her as she took determined steps towards the school entrance.

As soon as I entered the school all eyes landed on me, some with worry, joy and I could not be oblivious to the annoyance and sharp hatred I saw blazing in Clarissa's eyes. Oh boy, what wrong have I done this time? can't the Petersons leave me be, I asked no one in partucular. I look straight at her, showing her that I wasn't at all intimidated by her sudden show of hostility. as expected she scowled, rolled her beady green eyes and walked away. Something about the glint in her eyes told me this was far from over. This was going to be a really, really long day and boy was I in for it.

Leon accompanied Khloe and I to our lockers and bid us goodbye and of course he didn't spare us with his caveman mentality that we all but rolled our eyes at. 'TELL ME WHEN ANYTHING HAPPENS, UNDERSTAND? type of thing.

All my morning classes went perfectly normal. Well as normal as it could get with Half the student body staring at you weird, at first I thought they found out what happened in that room two weeks ago but turns out everyone is just curious to know exactly why I was rushed through the school hall, unconscious and limb in Leons arms only to turn up two weeks after. yup, Definitely not going to tell them. Even if I did I would most probably land myself in the looney bin, no questions asked. Who on Gods earth would believe that I saw an animal morph into a human being. What is this? Twilight. pssh, saves me the explaining.

As I made my way to the school diner, I slipped and dropped my small knapsack spilling all my stuff across the hallway.

'Oh My God, are you okay?' I peaked over my shoulder to see a familiar red head racing down the hallway in my direction, Carol, with an unfamiliar brunette hot on her tail.

'I'm okay, don't worry,' I chuckled. 'Hie.' I flashed her a wide smile as she and her brunette friend helped me up.

'Hey Stormi, this is my friend Riley, Riley, this is Stormi she is new'. Carol introduced.

'You can call me Ry or Lee,' she giggled. 'whatever floats your boat'. I giggled in response

'I like her already'. I said smiling widely at Riley

'And 'her' likes you too now can we speed this along and get me some food already, I'm starved,' Riley pouted.

'you had a whole burger just now Lee'. Carol deadpanned tiredly staring at Ry.

'A girls gotta eat when a girls gotta eat,' Ry shrugged as she slung her arms over mine and Carol's shoulders and literally dragged us into the diner. We stood by the line with our trays in hand chatting away when I felt a tap on my shoulder. The sudden contact slightly made me jump back a few as I turned around to see Clarissa. The brother's not here but his sister surely would not mind keeping me company.

'yes?' I questioned with a perfectly raised eyebrow, slightly curious about why on Earth Clarissa is talking to me. All caution signs are up at this point. She looked from me to Carol then to Riley, her gaze raced back to Carol and lingered way too long for my liking. Her face contorted into a disgusted scowl. I looked to Carol and saw a layer of unshed tears in her eyes, this scarred me deeply. I had to do something this wasn't right.

'Is there a problem, Clarissa?' I asked firmly to which she glanced my way, rolled her eyes like the pompous and patronizing person she was thus I went on to say 'If not, then please stop wasting our time and pass those scrutinizing glares upon your mirror as you can see they are clearly unwanted here'.

At this point she snapped her gaze to me, glaring daggers my way to which I quickly dismissed and said 'I thought so too, Goodbye Clarissa,' I said sharply, clearly unaffected by her hostility. Serves her right but Lord! if eyes could kill, I'd be 6 feet under by now.

She let out a sarcastic laugh, 'Look who finally spoke up, almost thought you were deaf but I stand corrected don't I?' anger dripping from each syllable. ' oh and Riley darling, who told you that you could pull off those shoes, Sugar, you look like trailer trash,' she obnoxiously stated.

I'm sorry but ha ha, trailer trash? Shish where is this girl getting her comeback lessons. I'd get my money back.

'Well its a good thing I didn't dress up to impress you, isn't it, love'. distaste was all I could pick out from Riley's words as she stared Clarissa down. You go girl!

Clarissa huffed like a wounded cow and walked away, probably plotting on what to do next. Stupid! I rolled my eyes and softly smiled at a confused Carol.

'Thank you guys for standing up for me I-I,' Carol started only to be cut off by Riley who engulfed both of us in her arms.

'she's self-centered and mean,' Riley mumbled against my shoulder.

'I agree, she's clearly the self appointed house mean girl,' Carol stated.

'You should meet the brother,' I vengefully said venom seeping though each word as I remembered everything he had done to me. That bastard!

'Hey Storm, are you okay?'

'Storm!' I felt someone shake me and I snapped out of it. oh so I thought.

I opened my eyes and all I saw is red. Oh no.

Not good, Not good AT ALL.

I NEED TO LEAVE!!!

I quickly turn on my heels and run straight into the girls bathroom, locking the door behind me.

NO NO NO NO

Please not now!

of all the places on Earth it starts here. urghhhhh I groan loudly.

This shouldn't be happening!

Uncle Cain where are you?

I look into the mirror and I shake in horror. 'No,' I whispered. ' this cant be happening right now.

I reach inside my knapsack and grabbed a pair of Tom Ford shades on, I have to get out of here. Preferably unnoticed. I have to hide this, I cant let anyone know.

I felt a headache gnawing through my veins.

I put on the shades and dashed out of the bathroom headed straight for the Fire Exit behind the school. I really had no time to think about the repercussions of this decision.

I walked over to the door and pushed it open. Surprisingly it wasn't that hard to open, it was light. That's when realization hit me, bad.

Shoot! I still can't believe this is happening to me. Right now!

As I went down the stairs at the back and into the parking lot absentmindedly I bumped into a Wall. I winced

A wall that was surprising fleshly. I looked up to see what or who I had bumped into and yes I regretted it thoroughly.

A mixture of emotions washed over me. Fright being the dominant one.

'Why don't you just kill me?'

Of all the people!!!

Kill me!

'Hello there, kitten,' his husky voice rang in my ears sending waves of unease down my spin. 'Missed me?'

Oh hell!
