The bell had just rang, ending classes. Black walked into the bathroom and suddenly, the three stalls opened. Holly, Emily, and Becca walk out. "Well I see the bathroom is full I will wait until I get home," Black said and began to walk out but Becca jumped in front of her, blocking the exit. They all looked kind of alike. Becca had long black hair, gray eyes, light freckles, and tan skin. Holly with her dark red hair, no doubt fake, green eyes, and too perfect tan skin. Then Emily, with her bleach blond hair, bed tan skin, and blue eyes. "You're not going anywhere," Holly's shrill voice told her. "You're little S.W.A.T. Squad can't help you here." "But that's the thing Holly," Black pointed at her with her finger and paced. "I don't need help." Holly smacked her across the face and pushed her to the ground. Black sat there on the ground, her hazel eyes wide, with a red handprint on her cheek. "You're such an idiot!" Holly shrieked. The bathroom doors were heavy and everyone had no doubt gone home so Black had no hope of anyone giving her enough time to escape. Holly kicked Black in the stomach. "Look at me when I'm talking to you slut!" Black glared daggers at the three girls towering over her. "What the hell did I ever do to you?!" Black demanded, clutching her stomach. "Oh nothing," Holly smiled happily. "I just find this amusing." They started to pummel her while shouting some very unflattering names. They'd finally seemed to finish and stood back. "You're so pathetic," Holly cackled. The three girls left laughing. Black stood up and pain shot up through her leg. She gasped in pain and took her weight off it. She looked at herself in the mirror, both black eyes, bleeding lip, bruises along her arms, they'd even given her bleeding scratched with their claws. Black grabbed a paper towel and ran cold water. She cleaned the blood off and walked out with her jacket hood up, hiding her busted up face. She walked through the halls and outside. She walked back to her house. Black's father had left the day before and, as usual, she'd rarely seen him since the day after Christmas. "Black?" Aunt Yarrow called when the door shut. "Yeah it's me Aunt Yarrow," Black sighed and trudged up to her room.

Soot stared at the picture she'd found. She turned it over again and reread the caption in her sister's had writing. "There's no way..." Soot muttered. "Hey Soot!" Ash called, her footsteps pounding the staircase. Soot shoved the picture under her pillow. Her sister's head popped into the room. "Hi Ash." Ash walked in and sat on Soot's bed beside her. "How about we play Truth or Dare?" Soot asked. "Lets do it!" Ash grinned. "Truth or dare?" "Truth," Soot answered, a plan forming in her mind. Ash thought, "What about that one boy you walked home with the other day? Spider?" Ash grinned. "Do you like him?" Soot blushed furiously. "What?! No! We're just friends!" Ash laughed, "Sure any way your turn." "Truth or dare?" "Truth." This is what Soot had been waiting for. She slowly pulled the picture out from under her pillow and presented it to her sister. "What is this about?" She asked faintly. "Where did you find that?" Ash asked urgently and grabbed for the picture. Soot yanked it back. "Answer the question Ash! Why are you holding a newborn in a hospital bed? And why is the caption on the back, "me and my newborn daughter Soot"?" "Soot it's not-" "Are you really my sister?" Soot cut her off, frantic now. Ash didn't answer immediately. "No," Ash finally answered in defeat. "I'm not your sister, Soot, I'm your mother." Soot's eyes widened. "Mom!" She shouted. "Dad!" "No no no no no! You can't tell anyone Soot! Especially Mom and Dad!" Ash told her frantically. Soot stared at Ash. "Why didn't you tell me?" She asked.
