"So he's trying to impress Gwen?" Ignis asked you as you sitting beside him in the library while you were both eating lunch.

"That's what he told me." You said before you took a bite of your sandwich.

Ignis gave a slight grin before taking a bite himself. You gave him a curious look as you quietly chewed your food. You knew that look. He was coming up with a plan. But what, you had no idea.

"What are you planning?" You asked after you took a drink to clear your mouth.

"What do you mean?" Ignis asked as he tried to look innocent.

"Don't play. You know I can tell when your cooking up something." You said with a smile as you watched him.

"Not planning really. More like impressed." Ignis said back with a smile.

"Why?" You asked as you gave him a curious look.

"Well I've actually never personally known anyone who wants to impress her. Most of us try to stay as far away from her as possible." Her said with a smile.

"You're all cruel. You know that?" You said as you shook her head.

"You should run from her faster than the rest of us." He said then he took a drink. "She was the person who helped them kidnap you after all."

"In her defense, she thought that she was saving her parents. I even saw her pleading with them before they knocked me out again." You said before you took a bite.

"I know. But the fact remains that she was the reason that they got you and took you from us." Ignis said in a disgruntled voice as he clearly looked upset.

You simply dropped your head as you swallowed your food. There was no arguing that fact. In fact, she had been the one who had knocked you out with the chloroformed cloth. Which is how they got you. And he had every reason to be upset by it. Since he was the last one to see you before they kidnapped you.

Suddenly you felt a kiss on your cheek. You blinked your eyes as you came back out of your troubling deep thoughts. You looked up and saw Ignis giving you a sincere smile.

"My apologies. I shouldn't be bringing that up like that." He said in a quiet voice as he reached over and started rubbing your back.

You slightly shook your head as you looked at him. "It's fine. It affected you, just as much as me. Just in a different way."

Ignis smiled back at you. Then he pulled you into his arms. As he pulled you in, you wrapped your arms around him. Then you closed your eyes as you tried not to recall the sight of his back as he had walked away as he headed out on stage. For that was quickly replaced with the towel that Gwen had put over your face before everything went black.

But despite your best effort, the image was back, and very vivid. It was so vivid in fact, that you couldn't help but to feel the hurt all over again. And soon the tears started to form as you once again felt the pull as you were torn away from him like that. You couldn't seem to control your body as it started to shake again from the memories of that night. Ignis closed his eyes and pulled you in tighter as he felt you start to shake in his arms. Then he slightly squeezed you as he kissed your forehead.

"That won't happen during this concert." He quietly said as he started rubbing your back again. "Because I'm not letting you out of my sight this time."

You squeezed back as you smiled broadly as tears rolled down your cheeks. "I know."

That night during swim practice..........

"I don't think he's going to get up there again." You heard Prompto say.

"Just give him a minute." Noctis replied. "He will."

You sat on the bench that was off to the side of the dive pool, beside Noctis and Prompto as you watched Ignis drying off as he checked the board again. He had been there for a few minutes already as if he was stuck in place. You could see that he wasn't quite as nervous as before. But he was still to nervous to get back on the board here. You watched as Coach Rick tried desperately to get him back up. But there was no moving him unless he wanted to be.

You slightly smiled to yourself as you knew what you had to do. So you stood up and took off your warm up jacket. Noctis looked up at you and just smiled. He already knew you had a plan as he watched you set down your folded jacket and walk away with your shammy in hand.

"Ahh....." Prompto started to say. "Where is she going?"

"Just watch." Noctis said with a smile as he sat back and crossed his legs and arms.

"Ignis, please?" Coach Rick pleaded with him. "You have to get on the board. You'll never dive again if you don't."

Ignis remained silent as he kept his eyes averted from his as he checked the board again. Then he happen to notice a slight commotion coming from the next board. So he looked up and saw you climbing up the stairs of the three-meter board. He stood there in shock as he watched you.

You didn't look at anyone or anything other than the board. The rest of the room went silent, except for the occasional whisper from some of the other divers. But you didn't pay attention to any of them as you nervously stood there. You hadn't gone off of the three-meter before and you were a bit nervous. But you had to if you were going to get him going again.

So after throwing your shammy down to the deck, you decided to test the board. So you made your approach to the end of the board. But instead of diving in, you stayed straight and just bounced on the end of the board a few times to see how it reacted with you. But then after the fourth bounce, you finally finished the hurdle and went into your swan dive. Before you smoothly entered the water.

As you came up, there were a few claps. But you didn't pay them any mind as you swam to the side. Ignis simply watched you as you climbed back out and grabbed your shammy as you started to dry off. Then he watched you as you climbed back up onto the board without so much as a glance at anyone there.

It wasn't until you were once again back on the board, that you turned your head and looked back down at him. He felt his heart stop as he looked at you, as you gave him a determined smile. He slightly smiled back. Then he turned and walked over to the stairs and climbed onto the board.

After he was on the board, he threw he shammy on the deck as he adjusted the fulcrum. Then he took his usual spot on the board and glanced back at you. You smiled back and nodded at him. He smiled back and nodded in return. Then you both turned your heads and looked at the end of the boards.

"Forward Pike on three." He heard you say from the adjacent board.

"One......two......three." You said loud enough that it seemed to echo throughout the whole room as everyone stopped and watched.

On three you both started your approach. On the last step Ignis drive his leg down harder so that he could start to match your height as you both soon flew up and stretched out as you dropped your knees back down. Once you both came back down onto the board. You both bent your legs and swung your arms back around and back up above your head as you pushed off hard from the boards just as they launched you both into the air.

Then in perfect sequence and at the same height, you both bent over with your arms off to the side and your legs straight down. It looked as if someone was holding you both up with a string wrapped around your waist as you slightly paused in the air, before you both straightened out as you came back down. Then you both entered the water, at the same time, with a next to nothing splash from either of you.

As you came back up, you didn't hear the cheers from everyone on the deck. For all you heard was your own heart beat as he swam up to you and wrapped his arms around you as he slowly pushed you back towards the pool wall. You smiled at him as you placed your arms on his neck as you glided smoothly over to the wall. He grin back at you as he pushed you gently against the wall. Then he gave you a quick kiss on the lips before he hugged you as he held you against the wall.

"Thank you." He quietly said as he slightly squeezed you.

"Anytime." You said as you squeezed him back.

"Hey?" You heard Coach Rick's voice say from the deck.

You both turned around and saw him standing there with stars in his eyes as he looked at the two of you. "Do you want to join the dive team?"

"No. That's okay." You said as you watched his face fall.

Then you looked back at Ignis. "I'll leave the diving to him. I'm just here to enjoy the performance."

Ignis smiled back at you as he pulled you closer. Then he leaned in a gave you a deeper kiss. You smiled back at him and eagerly invited his kiss. Then after a moment you smiled back at him as he climbed back out. You smiled and did the same. But this time you just stood by the board as he got back on again and started to go through his usual drills.

Later, back at the citadel..........

"So you want to use the loading dock again?" Marge asked as she looked at both you and Ignis as you stood there with Prompto standing just behind you, looking nervous.

"If we could?" You responded as you smiled back at her. "We promise to clean it when we're done."

Marge smiled at you as she let out a laugh. "Honey, there's no cleaning those docks. At least nothing short of a pressure washer and a new coat of paint."

"We can do that if you like." You offered as you smiled back at her.

Ignis also nodded his agreement. While Prompto nervously glanced between the two of you. He had only wanted a simple dance lesson. Not a 'this for that' situation.

"That won't be necessary you two." Marge said back with a huge grin. "But the gesture is very kind."

"It would be the least that we could do for you." You said with a smile. "After all, you and Mr. Jim were the ones who taught both of us how to dance."

"No dear." Marge said with a huge grin. "We showed you the steps. It's the two of you that bring out the magic when you dance."

You shyly dropped your head as you grabbed Ignis hand. Ignis interlaced his fingers with yours as he pulled you closer. You both knew that they were the reason that the magic was even there. For you had both wanted to surprise and impress the other. Which is what lead to you each learning privately from Marge and Jim. If it hadn't been for their lessons, neither of you would be able to dance the way you do.

"Which is why it would be an honor to have you both back there dancing away again." Marge said as she beamed at the two of you.

You gave her a huge smile as you released ignis' hand as you moved up to gave her a huge hug. "Thank you. I knew you would understand."

"Think nothing of it deary." She said as she patted your back. "Now you better get started before it gets too late."

You moved back with a huge smile. "Right."

"Thank you." Ignis said as he leaned in a gave her a kiss on her cheek.

"For you. Anything." She said with a proud smile as she placed a hand on his cheek.

Ignis smiled back as he nodded. Then he turned back to you and Prompto. You gave him a big smile, while Prompto seemed to be getting nervous.

"Shall we?" He asked as he looked right at Prompto.

"Yeah." You both replied. You were a bit more excited then Prompto though.

As you walked back to the loading docks, you told Prompto all about the lessons that you and Ignis had had back there when Jim was still around. You even told him about the hours that you each had spent practicing separately, as you prepared for the school dance. He seemed to be impressed with both of you. Which brought a smile to both of you.

It did seem that neither of you felt like bringing up the fact that you never got to actually dance at the dance that night though. Nor did you mention that you were actually attacked at both the dance and at the concert. You personally figured that he didn't need to be any more freaked out then he already was. He was already nervous enough without even knowing those details.

"I just can't picture the two of you being nervous about this." Prompto said to you both, as everyone walked into the center of the presumed dance floor.

"Well it was a few years ago now." You replied as you glanced at Ignis as you slightly squeezed his hand. "Now we just move, as we feel the music wants us to move."

Ignis smiled back at you as he brought your hand to his lips. "Well, more of less."

Ignis gently kissed your hand before he slowly dropped it back down. You gave him a loving look back as you could feel your heart start to soar with the thought of the two of you gliding across the floor again. But you both knew that you weren't there for each other this time. No, this time you would work together to help out Prompto.

"Shall we begin?" Ignis said as he dropped your hand as he turned towards Prompto.

"Yeah." Prompto said with a slight smile.

After about an hour, Prompto seemed to be catching on to the steps better. But that was only after he followed Ignis' feet while dancing with you. Which you didn't mind at all. Except for the fact that now you felt really bad for Jim, since you had stepped on his feet quite a few times as he taught you. For now you were the one getting your feet stepped on by Prompto. And even though he kept apologizing, your feet were throbbing by time you all decided to call it a night.

"I'm so sorry (y/n)" Prompto said for the hundredth time.

"It's fine." You said as you limped over to the wall for a moment. "I'm just picturing Mr. Jim smiling down at the karma."

"His smile would be followed by an ice pack though." Ignis said as he stood by you.

"But I'll do one better, once I get you home tonight." He said with a slightly heated glance.

"Okay." You returned as you gave him an inquisitive look.

"Speaking of which." Prompto nervously said as he looked at you both. "Could I possible get a ride home tonight? It's really late and I get kind of nervous in the dark."

You both slightly laughed at him. Prompto did have a way of making everyone laugh. Even if he was being dead serious.

"Oh course Prompto." Ignis said back. "I'm not about to have his highness' best friend walk home in the dark."

Prompto gave Ignis a slightly startled look. "Best.....friend?"

"Yes." You heard from behind you.

You turned and saw Noctis walking over towards you with a slight grin. You smiled back over at Noctis as he strolled over. You figured that he must have asked the kitchen staff where everyone was at. After all, his lessons with Gladio didn't last all night.

"Best, friend." Noctis said slowly as he stopped in front of him.

You glanced over at Prompto as he looked like he was going to pass out or scream from excitement. You weren't quite sure which one was going to happen. But you smiled nonetheless. For it looked like he was finally starting to see where he fit into the group.

Later back at your house.........

"So which one did he do?" Your dad asked you after you told him about Prompto's reaction to Noctis calling him his best friend.

"It was somewhere in between a squeak and a cry." You said as you tried to describe Prompto's reaction. "It was kind of cute to watch."

"I won't use 'cute' to describe it." Ignis said as he shook his head as he sat beside you on the couch. "Freaked out would be more like it."

Paul chuckled at the image now in his head. "He certainly is something."

"Since we're talking about Prompto." You said as you dropped your head, as you started to traced your fingers over Ignis hand as he held yours. "What are you going to be showing him tomorrow?"

Paul paused for a moment as he gave you a curious look. "Why do you ask?"

"I'm just curious." You said as you shrugged your shoulder with your gaze dropped as you tried to hide you jealousy.

"Just my work shop in the garage." He commented as he watched you carefully. "He's in the mechanically shop class this year at school and asked if I could give him a hand with his class project. Apparently he learned that I'm pretty handy with tools and mechanical equipment."

"Since when?" You jokingly asked as you grinned at him.

"Since long before you were born young lady." He teased back as he slightly laughed.

You slightly laughed back at him. He was really good with his hands. You had seen that when he was helping our your brother with his car. Let alone all of the projects that he had done around the house and all of the work that he done with his own cars.

"Am I detecting a bit of jealousy from you?" He asked as he gave you a inquisitive look.

"Well....." You started to say, but stopped.

Truth was, you were a bit jealous since you hadn't had to share him with anyone except your brother since you were born. And over the last three years, you haven't had to share him with anyone, except the recent occasional visit from Sara. So him helping out Prompto was making you feel a bit left out. But you didn't want to tell him that. So you kept your head dropped as you continued to play with Ignis' hand. Paul saw this and knew the truth then.

"I'll tell you what." Paul said as he watched you. "How about I teach you a bit about cars, so that you can handle more than just where to put the gas and air?"

You slowly looked up at him. Was he being serious? Would he finally be willing to show you something besides how to fight? He smiled back at your interest as he saw the excitement in your eyes.

"Really?" You asked as if afraid he was going to change his mind.

"Why not?" He s asked as he leaned forward. "You never know when you will have to change a flat tire or a broke wiper blade. I could even show you how to change your own oil and how to do a tune up so that you can help keep up the maintenance on the car."

"Just as long as you don't have me changing out an engine or anything." You teased back.

Your dad chuckled at you. "Not unless you buy a car without one."

"Like that's going to happen." You said as you sat back.

"Not if I can help it." Paul said then he stood up. "Well I have to finalize a few things for our trip. Feel free to hang out a bit longer Ignis. Just not too long. You both do have school tomorrow."

"Yes sir." Ignis responded as you both watched your dad leave the room.

After he left the room, Ignis reached down and grab one of your feet. You gave him a curious look as you turned sideways as he brought your foot to his lap. He then slightly moved away from you so that you were laying on your back on the couch and he was down by your feet. You simply smiled at him as he looked at you as he reached down and grabbed your other foot.

He then set that foot on the couch before he grabbed the first one again. Then he slowly slid off your sock as he watched your reaction as you slightly bit your bottom lip as you tried not to giggle as his fingers slightly tickled your foot. He then smiled back at you as he started to smoothly rub out the soreness.

"Is this what you were you talking about?" You asked after a while, as you watched him slowly and smoothly messaging your foot.

"Well of course." He said as set down your first foot then grabbed your other foot and slowly took off that sock. "What did you think I had in mind?"

You hummed as you rolled eyes. "With you, I can never be sure."

Ignis smiled back at you as he softly laughed. "No I suppose not."

Then he looked up and gave you a slightly heated look. "At least not lately."

You smiled at him as you narrowed your eyes at him as you gave him a mischievous glance. He returned the same glance as his fingers masterfully took out all of the soreness in your foot. You watched him as his fingers worked their magic and his eyes seemed to darken the longer he watched you. You grinned back at him as your eyes seemed to scream at him that you wanted his hands somewhere else now.

He raised up the corners of his mouth as he narrowed his eyes more. Then he set your foot back down on the couch. You then slide both feet up as you bent you knees. Then you slightly moved your legs apart so that you could put your feet on either side of him as he sat on the couch.

He looked at you with a slightly heated look. You gave the same look in return as you started to rub your foot along his leg. He glanced down at your foot for a moment. Then he started rubbing the top of your foot as he watched your eyes get darker.

"I'm starting to think that you want something else tonight." He said in a deeper voice as he started to struggle with keeping his body under control.

You gave him a seductive grin as you moved your foot further over so that you could rub something else. He briefly closed his eyes as he fought off a moan.

"l don't know what your talking about." You said as you started rubbing his groin area with your toes.

"Oh." He said as he moved your foot off to the side as he turned towards you and started to move over top of you.

"But I think you know exactly what I'm talking about." He said as he stopped with his body hovering over yours as he looked down at you as he was propped up on his hands and knees.

You then smiled back up as you wrapped your hands around his neck and your feet around his knees as you tried to keep him from moving. "Oh. And what would that be?"

"You truly are asking to be attacked today aren't you." He asked you as you watched his emerald eyes turn almost pure black.

"And why would you say that?" You asked as you lift up your hips to meet his.

His breath caught, as he stayed still as he felt his whole body instantly heat up. You smiled at him, then you slowly started move your hips. Then as if you flipped a switch, he leaned down and captured your mouth as he slowly lowered himself down on you as he lost the fight with his own will power. You hungrily meet his kisses as his tongue fully dominated yours as his body yearned for you as his hips rocked into you.

You groaned as you moved your head off to the side as he moved his head away from your lips as he started to devour your neck. You ran your hand up into the hair on the back of his neck as you fell completely under his spell. He latched on harder to your neck as your fingers traced along his neck. You tightened your grip on him as your body started to want more as he started grinded against you.

Suddenly you heard your dad starting to come down the stairs. Ignis quickly got up and sat back down on the couch as he ran his hands through his hair a few times so that he could smooth it back out. You quickly sat up and straightened out your hair as well. By time your dad re-entered the living room it looked like nothing had been going as. As you sat innocently beside Ignis with your feet up on the coffee table, as Ignis sat there with his legs crossed as he tried to hide his now hard issue.

"Alright, I think I have everything set for our trip." Your dad said as he walked into the room with his head down at first as he was looking at the trip itinerary.

You both straightened up a bit then tried to look relaxed. Which was very difficult for Ignis considering he now had a major issue going on. But he remained calm as he kept his legs crossed as he slightly adjusted himself without either of you noticing. Which was much to his relief. Then your dad looked up at the two of you and stopped suddenly. He then gave both of you a very serious looked as he scanned the two of you.

"Did I interrupt something?" He asked with a serious look.

"No." You both said very quickly.

"Not at all." You continued as Ignis tried to sit back further.

Your dad stood back and crossed his arms as he stared at the two of you. You started to get nervous. You knew that he could sense something was off. You just hoped that he didn't figure it out.

"Are you sure?" He asked in a serious voice.

"Of course." You said as you sat back against Ignis.

"Then why are your socks off?" He asked as he pointed to your feet.

Suddenly you realized that you hadn't put your socks back on yet.

Shit , shit, shit. You thought in horror.

"Well..." You started to explain.

"I had messaged her feet from where Prompto had stepped on them most of the night." Ignis said in in his usual calm demeanor. "It's a lot more effective than a foot bath in my opinion."

Paul stood there scanning Ignis' face as if he was trying to figure out if there was anything else behind that. But after not being able to see past his perfect poker face, Paul finally relaxed. He then turned to you as you gave him a nervous look.

"I didn't know he shouldn't do that dad." You tried to say in your normal voice. "It won't happen again."

You dad then smiled as he shook his head. "No. Its fine. But it is time to head out Ignis."

"Yes, I suppose your right." Ignis said as he uncrossed his legs and stood up.

You quickly glanced at his issue and saw that it looked like he was back under control again.  Well for the most part anyway. You only slightly smiled as you felt bad for almost getting you both caught. You would have to think of a better way of handling situations like that again. Although, this was perhaps why most teenagers make out in their cars at the park?

"I'll walk you out." You said as you stood up.

"You'll see him to the door. It's too late for you to be walking him out to his car." Your dad said as he gave you a stern look. "Besides, his car is only in the driveway. I think he can walk down the sidewalk by himself."

"But..." You started to argue as you looked at your dad.

"He's right. It's late." Ignis said as he turned to you.

"Fine." You sighed as you gave him a sad look.

Then you followed him over to the door.

"I'm sorry." You quietly said so that your dad wouldn't hear.

"It's fine love." He quietly said as he grabbed his coat off of the coat rack.

"I'll see you in the morning." He said as he smiled back at you as he put his coat back on.

Then he leaned in a gave you a kiss on the cheek. "Night love."

"Night." You said back as you kissed his cheek in return.

"Good night Mr. (l/n)." Ignis called over to your dad.

"Night Ignis. Be careful going home." Paul said as he watched him.

"Will do." Ignis said.

Then he slightly nodded with a smile as he slipped out of the door. You closed the door behind him and turned on the outside light so that you could watch him walk to his car. He smiled back at you as he glanced back. Then he smiled before he jogged over to the car and got in. Then you watched as he fired up the engine and pulled out of the driveway. You continued to watch until you couldn't see his car anymore. Then you turned off the light.

"Messaging your feet now?" You heard your dad say from behind you.

"He was being nice dad." You said as you slowly turned around and gave him slight smile.

"Ah-uh. Well it's time to get ready for bed anyway." Your dad said as he walked towards the kitchen so that he could start to check the doors and windows.

This had been a habit of his for many years now. He had to check every door, window, and camera before he tuned in each night. You didn't understand it when you were a kid. But after what you had both been through, you were now extremely glad that he did.

The next few days flew by, everyone started to get excited about winter break. You personal couldn't wait to spend some uninterrupted time with Ignis for a few days. You dad had talked to you about the trip that he had planned for both of you to go to Tenebrae. But that would be at the end of the break. He promised to let you have the first few days to spend some time with Ignis and the others before you left for the trip.

This included everyone attending the Annual Winter Ball that was being held at the citadel on the eve of the first full day of Winter Break. This was very exciting since this would be the first time for the ball since the queen was killed. In fact, everyone had gone out a week before the ball and had gotten their dresses and tuxes for the dance. And as always, none of you knew what the other was wearing, except the color. You were really excited since everything seemed to be falling into place nicely. The only one who felt a bit out to sorts was Prompto, since he hadn't been to one of these balls before. And he wasn't going to meet his date until the night of the ball.

Of course there was still one major thing that you had to do before you could truly enjoy the winter break, and that was the winter concert. You and Ignis were a bit excited about it this year. Especially since they were letting him play several songs before the concert even started, as a means of entertaining the audience as they walked and started to settle down as they waited for it to start. He would also be playing a solo during the intermission. This of course was also on top of playing the regular accompaniment for the songs during the first half of the concert.

The only thing that he didn't have to worry as much about, was the second half of the concert. Since this was due to the choir once again, dancing to the various songs that had been drilled into them over the last few weeks. You were both looking forward to this since you had been practicing this during lunch in the library. The librarian had been quite enjoying the site of the two of you dancing around as you practiced.

Even Prompto's dance lessons had gone very well. He had been able to catch on after a few short lessons. Which was good since the concert was just around the corner. He improved so much in fact, that Gwen actually complimented him on it. This of course, had him beaming from ear to ear.

Now due to your dad, there were going to be a couple major differences with this concert though compared to the one in middle school. The main one was that you weren't to leave Ignis' side during any of it. Even when he was to be the only one on stage performing. For instead of waiting backstage for him to return, this time you were to assist him by turning the pages for him while he played. (Not that he needed it since he memorized every single song.)

But this was a task that you were more than excited about. You loved to watch him play anyway. So for you to sit next to him while he played, was more like having a private concert with just the two of you. It just happened to be going on in front of a huge audience. For apparently Ignis' playing had caused quite a bit of a following within the school. For the entire school staff would all come just to watch. And since this would be his last winter concert, they weren't going to miss it for the world.

"Great job class. And with that we'll stop there for the day. Tomorrow we will only go over the dances one last time as we do one last run through. In the meantime, rest up and we'll see you tomorrow." The choir director said after running everyone through the last dance of the concert. "Ignis, (y/n). I need to see both of you before you leave today."

"Yes ma'am." You both responded as you stood with the rest of the class before everyone started gathering up their belongings so that they could head home for the day.

You gave Ignis a curious look as you both walked over to grabbed your coats and bags. He simply smiled at you and slightly shrugged his shoulders. Which told you that he had no idea what she wanted to see you about either. Then you looked over at Prompto as he gave you a slight nod before he walked off stage so that he could sit with Noctis, who had just walked into the auditorium and took a seat in the fourth row.

After putting on your coats and pulling your bags over your shoulders, you walked over to the teacher. She smiled as the two of you walked up as the final bell rang for the day. She smiled as you both came to a stop in front of her as the rest of the students filed out of the room.

"There's my talented team." She said as she beamed at the two of you.

"I'm no more talented than those that just left." You said with a smile.

"I would beg to differ." The teacher said back to you. "You both have really raised the bar for this choir and I couldn't be prouder."

"Thank you for the kind words." Ignis said as he grabbed your hand.

"Okay, so for tomorrow night, I will be here about an hour before the concert so that I can let you both in the back door. Your father told me briefly about what happened before and said that you and Ignis shouldn't be separated at anytime during the concert. I just wanted you to know that we have taken extra precautions and that there is going to be extra security here tomorrow night as well." She said in a very serious tone.

"Now for the most part, you will remain on stage near me, unless you are at the piano during the beginning of the program and during your solo." She said as she looked more at Ignis. "So you should be fine considering you will be in front of everyone. But if anything goes wrong, I want you to have your car parked out back so that you can quickly get out. Do you understand me?"

"Yes ma'am." You both responded.

You could feel your heart rate start to increase as you thought about someone trying to take you again. That was the last thing you wanted. And it looked like everyone had the same concern. But as you watched the teacher explained to Ignis where he could park so that you could leave if you had to. You couldn't help but wonder if it was going to be enough.

There had been a auditorium full of parents and staff during the middle school concert. And yet they still got you. Would all of the extra security really be enough? You couldn't help but drop your head as you started getting nervous again as you started rubbing your hands together.
