Three days have passed since then. Tae and I have not exchanged a word. We've always been separated somehow. Whether it was a coincidence or not, I have no idea. I also trained myself non-stop mentally and physically. I didn't know which way was better for me. To win or to lose against D? Neither appealed... Deep down I wanted to beat D because I was getting annoyed with him always talking down to me. Besides, I was going to wipe that big grin off his face! But me and the driving? I don't think I could do it... I've never been a team leader before. Not even in gym class! How could I do that? Even though my dad was a leader... If he could do it, then it's in my blood, right? I glanced at the ring. Why is this ring important? I pulled it off my finger and looked at it. It was engraved with a text in beautiful italic letters that I read over and over again each time.

"Intersectio inferni et coeli, Yana." (The intersection of heaven and hell, Yana) 

I do not understand. I've read it so many times, but I never understood it. I always knew it had something to do with me. But what would I be? I put the ring back on my finger. It doesn't matter what I am, I must keep this ring at the cost of my life. I took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. What was the connection between D and my father? Were they just colleagues or friends? Were they as close as me and Hobi? I smiled. What would I be without my best friend? I turned to my right. Maybe I should tell Hobi about Mom. He knows about my dad and who I am, then I'm sure he'll understand that too. I nodded. I'm absolutely sure he'll be by my side and he won't think I'm stupid. He supported me since we were little no matter how stupid it was. This can't be our water voter! And I need to talk to D...  I want to ask him what he knows and what his relationship was with my father or in his words PD. Although on reflection I sure want to know? 

"Yes..." the little voice whispered.

Which reminds me.

"Do I know you?" asked the little voice in my head.

"Yes"

"How well?"

"Too much..."

"What's your name?"

"I can't tell you that..."

"Why?"

"If I tell, they'll hurt me and I may never be able to be with you again."

"Who will hurt you?"

"The one everyone fears the most." 

I've gone white. My pulse skyrocketed and then a sudden pain shot through my body. It was much worse than the others. My body bent backwards in a U shape. My muscles were completely frozen. I couldn't breathe. I started to choke. It felt like someone was pulling the skin off my flesh. It was almost ripped. I screamed in agony.

'Yana!' someone shouted frantically at me. I tried to turn my head, but I couldn't see anything. My vision was getting blurred. Is this someone going to help me? I hope so. One question though. Could it be me? Will I ever have peace of mind? I have no idea...

I felt hands on my skin, which now caused me almost the greatest pain. I couldn't take it anymore. I gave myself over to the darkness again. 

I stumbled into a white corridor. Every wall was covered in blood. The place was familiar, as if I had been here before. I started walking and a shadow appeared in front of me.

'We meet again.' it smiled broadly at me.

'Again?' I looked at him questioningly.

'Don't you remember me?' he opened his arms. I did not move.

'No, not yet.' I shook my head.

I saw him take a deep breath and then exhale nervously.

'I didn't mean to, but now I'll have to resort to this.' he said, and then suddenly he stabbed a knife through my heart. I grabbed my hand. I started coughing up blood.

'I am PD or your father's killer.' he introduced himself with a big smile and then twisted the knife in my heart, making me spit out an even bigger dose of blood.
