UPDATE Audrey's POV I took a walk outside along the fence that surrounded the school. The fresh air and quiet atmosphere helped me think. Why would Ashlynn keep her identity hidden from us? I heard footsteps behind me. I turned but there was no one there. I walked faster hoping to never hear the noise again. I heard footsteps behind me again. I turned and once again there was nothing there. I bursts into a run trying to make it back to the dorms. I heard the footsteps again chasing me. I didn't dare look back. I sprinted the dorms was all I could think make it to the dorm. The footsteps quickened. I made the mistake to look back. I gasped as they grabbed me and thrusted a cloth over my nose and mouth. I tried to fight but I grew tired and felt my eyes slowly close. Lynitas POV I sat in the infirmary holding an ice pack to my shoulder. I never thought Ashlynn would betray me like that. Just the thought of her made me feel sick. I was thinking of ways to get revenge when I heard someone open the door. It sounded like they were trying to be quiet and were failing. "Nurse Wiggins?" I called out. They didn't reply. My heart beat quickened and I could hear the pounding in my ears. The steps were more rapid now. I tried to run but slumped to the ground in a helpless heap. I felt something put over my mouth and nose. It was a cloth and for some reason it made me dizzy. I drifted off to sleep. Ashlynn's POV I thought of the look on Lynitas face when she found out. I would always recognize it as a look of pure hatred. I sat in the library reading 'City of Bones'. I needed to stop worrying. I'm sure Lynita won't be mad at me tomorrow. I heard a noise behind me but I ignored it. I kept reading until I heard the noise again. I turned and was struck with something heavy. I blacked out falling to the floor. Diana's POV I laid on my bed staring at the ceiling. I thought of mom and dad back in Versailles. If they hadn't sent me here I wouldn't be wincing every time I took a breath. I looked over at my window and saw Tobias walking outside. There was something about him that I didn't feel around other boys. I was walking out back. I don't remember when I decided to follow him but I would soon regret it. He turned a corner and by the time I got there he was gone. I felt someone grab me from behind and put a gag in my mouth and a blindfold over my eyes. They carried me and I heard Tobias in the distance yell, "Hey stop!!!!" I fell. My captor must have dropped me. My head hit concrete and my eyes closed.
UPDATE Audrey's POV I woke to a muffled scream coming from what sounded like Diana. I could hear Lynita trying to break out of her ropes. I knew Ashlynn was here but she didn't make any noises today. The ropes I was tied with felt really tight almost too tight. I wriggled my arms and legs out of the ropes and immediately took off my blindfold. The room was pitch black except for a tiny light coming from underneath a door. I heard Ashlynn say something but it was too muffled by her gag for me to understand. I untied the rest of them as a man walked in through the open door. Lynita's POV I lunged at the tall, blonde hair, blue eyed man who had just walked in. He threw me aside as if I was a flea. He turned to Diana and she hugged him. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!!!!!!" He laughed and I noticed he looked oddly familiar like that relative at Christmas who you haven't seen in 10 years and you can't remember their name. "Hello Lynita. It's been a while." "Who the hell are you?" Ashlynn stared at the floor. I looked at her. She seemed like she knew something we all didn't. The man spoke to her. "I thought you would have told them by now Ashlynn."
UPDATE!!!!! Ashlynn's POV Diana gave me a quizzical look. I licked my lips, my throat was as dry as a desert. Out of the corner of my eye I felt Lynita's piercing stare burn right through me. I looked at Austin and he had an annoying grin on his face. I wanted to smack it clean off. "Ashlynn?" Audrey asked, "What's he talking about?" I sighed and walked over to the far wall. "I'm sorry it wasn't supposed to happen like this." Diana spoke, "What do you mean??" I flipped open the secret tile and typed the password on the keypad. "We are the secret circle," I paused and sucked in my breath as I closed my eyes, "and we are all somehow related." And with that we all fell rapidly downward. but wait there's more Tobias' POV I sat in my room thinking about her. I could have saved her from the truth. Why did Austin always ruin everything?! I was so close to catching her but it was too late, she had already hit the ground. I could have saved her..........from myself.
UPDATE!!!!!! Diana's POV When we stopped moving we stood in a room with a giant computer on 1 wall with little computers surrounding it. Another wall was full of weapons. The third wall was covered in pictures of people and a bunch of papers. "They're all of our allies." Ashlynn had come up behind me. The last wall contained more pictures of people...and some of them had X's over them. "Who are these people?" Ashlynn scowled, "These are our enemies, members of the agency." Audrey had clicked on something on the big screen that enlarged it to show a tree...a family tree. "That is our ancestors, the old members of the circle." I saw four men who branched off from the same parents. One of them had the same golden eyes as me. Next to him were 2 women. One was blonde and the other hard black hair and was...black. She reminded me of Lynita. "The man is our father." Lynita looked confused, "Our?????" "Lynita you and Audrey are sisters and me and Diana are sisters. We all have the same father." I felt nauseous. My parents weren't really the queen and king????? "Our mothers died before we were even 1 years old." Austin stepped away from the computer. "I'm afraid our current mission to protect the king and queen has failed." I was scared, "They're...." "I'm afraid they're dead." I clenched the side of the table. 'Mom...Dad...Dead?' Was all I could think. I heard someone calling to me and I lost all hope...I blacked out. Audrey's POV I watched Diana faint and envied her. I'd rather faint than deal with all of this. I walked to the elevator and went up to the ground floor. I half-ran, half-walked out the door into the ice cold air. I saw Tobias sitting on his balcony, a dark bottle in his hand. I couldn't resist the urge, "What's wrong with you?" "Nothing." I could tell he was lying. I walked up to his room and sat beside him. "What's upsetting you?" He sighed, "Have you ever loved someone and then watch them get killed and there's nothing you can do to bring them back?" I was confused, "Can't say that I have, but who did you lose?" He took a sip of the bottle and I took it from him, throwing it out at the street. "Hey! Fine I'll tell you." He looked disgusted. "Diana died." I was shocked. "Diana isn't dead." All of a sudden I heard a bang and Tobias was yelling, "You didn't have to kill her!" and my head hurt. My vision went black as I heard someone say, "Good riddance."
