A little Intro;

“Don't kill me please!!

Ple.....ase.... Please! I beg of you!!

Irene's voice could be heard from where she was being pinned down by Rebecca's gangs, Irene was wailing helplessly trying to break free.

But the girl's grips on her were firm, and unyielding. As they pinned her down.

They were at the top Of the school's building, the last floor. Being pinned down and about to be plunged to her death.

The cold night air was thick and somehow chilly, it was winter already and the Snowflakes were falling freely from the sky to the bare floor.

The cold night breeze swept her head allover her face, yet it did nothing to ease the tension and fears sprouting inside of her.

please, please I beg of you!! Don't kill me, please, aah!!!

Rebecca snickered, looking wickedly at her helpless state.

"Please?" Rebecca mimicked, laughing out wickedly.

"Poor thing!" She said, grabbing an handful of Irene's chin into her hand.

"Too bad, I don't forgive!" She snickered, snorting before releasing her chin roughly.

Irene felt paled, as she struggled against the hold on her.

"Don't kill me please, don't....

"Why can't I hmm? You stole what belong to me, how dare you!"Sasha bellowed angrily, slapping Irene across her face.

Irene's face twisted sideward, her tears tailing slowly down her cheeks .

"I...I'm sorry please forgive me, I....I just want to live," Irene begged, struggling, her eyes drizzling with unshed tears.

Rebecca snickered,looking down deadly at her, hatred visible in that clear embers eyes of hers.

Sometimes Irene wondered what she ever did that made Rebecca to hate her to the core.

"Live?, sorry I can't allow that! You can't live not now... Maybe not ever!!"

Irene flinched, fears clouding her eyes."don't!" Irene broke into tears again, her heart beating heavily against her ribcage in pure fear.

"I Have to take back all what you stole from me, including Ryan Thompson, I wouldn't allow you snatch him from me again, so in your next life which I bet there isn't any, don't cross someone like me ever again!"

Irene kept shaking her head, her eyes blurred with tears, her lips quivering, her body shuddered with dread.

"Please, I'm sorry I swear I'm going to stay far away from him, I promise, please!!!" Irene cried bittered.

But it all fell into deaf ears.

Rebecca grab Irene's by her uniform collar, raising her up, as she pushed her to the edge.

"Aaaah!!!"Irene screamed, as cold and chilly air swept her hair and body, she shuddered .

The gush of adrenaline rush, as fear clawed at her, her heart racing.

She gasped, her eyes mistakenly caught a gloom of the floor_ how far it was to reach the ground level.

She gulped, her limp went paralysed, her body stiff.

It's scared her like shīt.

"Please..." Irene's heart sank as fear grip her hard.

Rebecca chuckling, looking pleased, "say your last words "she said

Irene grip her hand, shakily "d....don't kill me please, I...I'll do anything.....

Rebecca let go of Irene's collar as she fell, somersaulting to the ground.

Mrs Vivian sat at the bedside beside her daughter, looking dizzy a bit, she couldn't peel off her eyes from her unconscious daughter frame.

She was happy, happiness was an understatement, she was overjoyed, her daughter was finally coming back to her after many years. a tear slid down her cheek.

She blinked,wiping the tear off, she took her daughter hand in hers and gave it a gentle squeeze.

"Baby, please wake up okay, for mommy, you've to."Mrs Vivian said with a little sob, her voice shook at the edge.

"Please..... Wake up okay..."

Mrs Vivian kept rubbing her palm over her daughter own, trying to warm her cold skin.

"She's still cold," Mrs Vivian noted, her eyes at alert.

She stood up, went to the landline and rang it.

The call was picked at the second ring. "hello!"

"get me a bath," Mrs Vivian ordered, her voice unevenly soft.

"Yes ma'am."

The line cut, Mrs Vivian inserted back the landline on the boost and went to seat beside her daughter.

She smiled looking at her daughter's peaceful and beautiful face, she took after her indeed.

A rap was heard from the door, disturbing Mrs Vivian thoughts.

"Come in!"

The door was yank open, two maids walked in bowing.

"Go ahead," Mrs Vivian waved at them, they nodded scrambling into the bath room.

Few hours later.

Irene gently opened her eyes, the rays from the sun shun directly at her, making her to close her eyes immediately.

She opened it again, her eyes now fully adjusted.

She crooked her neck sideward, taking in her unfamiliar environment.

She pressed her lips, raising up from the bed, a wretching headache stuck her to the core.

She gasped, falling onto her back, holding her head.

Just then the door was slightly parted, a light footstep was heard.

Irene turned as her eyes locked onto an unfamiliar figure.

"Miss, y....you can hear me right?"she asked again.

Irene was beyond shock, in her life and wildest dream, no one have called out to her with such respect and dignity before.

“Miss?”it sounded new and strange but somehow respective. She liked it.

"Young miss,"Aurora called, tapping on her lost lady on the bed.

Irene turned to face her, now smiling for real, taking Aurora by surprise.

"I kinda like you, what's your name?" Irene asked, smiling.

Aurora look up,shocked at her mistress choice of words."ma'am, m....my name ?, y...you don't remember?"she asked, bewildered.

Irene took in her lips, blankly.
