ShadowRose18: okay, okay, I won’t kill Tancred…yet…. Once this story is finished, I might…

Anyway, here’s the third chapter and I hope you enjoy it! Well… actually… I don’t think this will be very happy…

Also, read the ending notes for my unhappy announcement.

Chapter 3 – Tears

Emma ran blindly along the empty corridors of Bloor’s. Her face was streaked with continuous tears and her heart was broken. Only the graduates and a few of their friends remained in Bloor’s for the graduation ceremony, but they were all probably getting ready for the ceremony. Emma couldn’t hear, see or feel anything of the outside world. All she could hear were those fateful words Tancred had spoken. She could only see his serious face as he broke her heart. She could only feel herself falling into the depths of sorrow.

Lysander was standing in a crowd with Charlie and everyone. They were waiting for the last arrangements to be made before the ceremony would start.

‘Where’s Em?’ asked Olivia.

‘She went to get Tancred,’ replied Lysander. Then he grinned.

‘What?’ Olivia asked

‘Tancred said he stuffed up, but now he’s got a second chance,’ answered Lysander, still grinning.

‘Stuffed up what? His confession to Em?’

‘Yeah,’

‘Did you punch him?’

‘Yeah,’

‘Are you going to kill him if he fails again?’

‘Hell yeah,’

Tancred was sitting on the edge of his bed, thinking about the events of the day. He had failed to tell Em at break, but then got another chance just then. He grinned.

‘Mission complete’ he murmured grinning; he grabbed his suit coat and headed down the stairs for graduation.

Back in the main hall, Dannielle suddenly jumped and looked towards the door.

‘Dannielle?’

She ignored Billy and ran out the door, just in time to see Emma speed past her, heading towards the front gate of Bloor’s.

‘Hey, was that –‘ but before Charlie finished, Dannielle was already after Emma.

‘Emma!’ Dannielle grabbed her friend’s arm and stopped her in the middle of the courtyard.

‘Emma…why are you crying?’

Emma turned around, confused, heart-broken tears, streaming down her face.

They were all silent. Then they all understood.

‘Tancred.’

ShadowRose18: Sorry this was so short. It was hard to do, because I wanted to introduce characters from future chapters of JoM, and it was hard to avoid using them.

So, here’s my announcement. I’m going to put Mistaken Sacrifice on hiatus (Only for a while, maybe a couple of months) because I want to introduce those characters into JoM first, before you meet them in Mistaken Sacrifice.

I was thinking of just mentioning them, but not explaining their relation to the story of JoM or to the other characters, but I just kept hitting the future chapters of JoM.

So Mistaken Sacrifice will be on hiatus until a certain point. I’ll announce it on JoM when you can all tune back in for Mistaken Sacrifice. I’m sorry everyone!! So please don’t kill me!!
