Hey Dani. . .Thanks
Im so sorry for taking ages to update. . .
Hope you enjoy this. .
Sydney had been dreading the start of the new week as well as going back to school.
She didnt paticurlally want to face either Sark or Lauren.
However much to her immense surprise both of them had stayed out of her way. .
Until monday afternoon.
Sydney was sitting next to Micheal on the school bleachers.
They were watching the soccer game that was being played.
"So how come you never joined the soccer team?" Sydney asked him curiously as she watched her school team try to win against the opposing team the 'Cats'
"Hmm. . Intresting question. . " Micheal mused out loud.
He turned to look at her.
"I guess i never really was much a sports fan. . .Eric was always crazy about soccer. . .
Not me." he said eventually.
Sydney nodded slowly in response.
"Why do you ask? Would you have prefered if i was some popular quaterback?" Micheal teased her.
"A self centred, arrogant, and way too confident loser? No way!
I like you perfectly the way you are." Sydney informed him affectionately.
Micheal smiled and leaned closer to her, trying to work up the courage to put his arm around her.
Would she swat him away like a fly? He worried.
"Hey have you ever dated a cheer leader?" Sydney suddenly asked on impulse.
Micheal laughed softly shaking his head.
"Sydney there are not many things that annoy me. . .
But if there is one thing i Cant 'Stand' then thats girls who lack. . Intellgence. . .What can i say? Airheads! Yes thats it." Micheal said triumphantly.
Sydney threw back her head laughing.
"Aww. . .All of them arent that bad." she laughed scoldingly.
"Oh trust me. . .Its really not worth sifting through all of them." Micheal rolled his eyes with mock drama.
"Soo. . .You must have dated some girls in your time. . " she hinted.
He paused thinking.
"I guess i dated a couple of girls in high school. . ." he trailed off.
"Ahh. . So now youve got a blackbook full of conquests now romeo." she teased.
"Oh God please!" he rolled his eyes.
"So what about you? Juliet?" Micheal asked his brows raised.
"Not much im afraid. . .A few jerk offs . . .Thats all" she shrugged.
"Oh come on, youve gotta give me more than that." he grinned.
Suddenly without warning Sydney felt her a strange inexplicable shudder working through her. . .
She slowly turned around. .
And nearly screamed as she saw Urma standing behind her an angelic smile on her face.
'What. . . What are you doing here. . .' Sydney whispered as horrific images of her dream played through her mind.
Urma just smiled and Sydney became aware of that their team had just scored a goal.
Sark who had been the golden boy who scored the goal came running up the stairs up the bleachers to Lauren who currently sat in the second row.
Lauren promply threw her arms around Sark in celebration as she made a huge display of her affection in the typical style of her attention grabbing.
Sydney's head whipped up as she heard Micheal whisper.
"Oh my god. . " he was staring at the exact spot where Urma was standing.
Sydney grabbed his arm her eyes widening.
"Can. . Can you see her?" Sydney asked urgently.
"Yes. . .I dont believe this. . She looks so much like you. . " Micheal murmured as he stared at Urma in amazement.
Urma meanwhile was staring intensely at Sark and Lauren her eyes seeming to almost glow strangely.
Oh my God. . .
Sydney bolted up in her seat horrified as she watched the old wooden bleachers sway. .
"Micheal. . .Oh my god. . ." she cried out in horror as she ran down the steps with Micheal following her close on her heels.
She knew what Urma was trying to do.
She was going to make the front bleachers collapse on Sark and Lauren who now now stood in the last row.
"Get out of the way!" Micheal yelled at Sark.
Sark just looked up at Micheal, a small contemptuous sneer curling up his lips
"Get out of my way Priest Boy." Sark muttered as Lauren stepped back to straighten her already immaculate hair style.
Thats when he noticed it.
The bleacher made a low groaning sound as it tilted . . .And then fell forward.
Micheal jumped forward yanking Sark back just in time as the heavy bleacher collapsed on the same spot where he was standing.
If Sark had still been standing there. . .
He would have been squashed to death just like a bug.
There was a strange moment of almost deafening silence then as everyone stared at Sark, Lauren, Sydney and Micheal.
Then Sark rudely pushed Micheal away and turned to Lauren, simply dismissing the man who had just saved his life.
Sydney's eyes narrowed in anger as she glared at Sark.
"You stupid son of a bitch. . .You could have died. . ." she seethed.
Micheal just shook his head wearily.
"Its not even worth bothering Syd.
Getting gratitude from that guy is like expecting water from a rock." he said.
"Urma has telekentic powers. . .It would seem." Sydney observed trying her best to not feel so pissed of by Sark.
"Yeah. . .It would look like. . .Infact where is she now?" Micheal said as he gazed at the spot where she had been standing just minutes ago.
"She's gone. . " Sydney murmured.
It was true.
Urma had once again mysteriously disappeared.

It hadnt been an easy day for Irina Bristow.
'When is it ever easy?' She thought wearily as she shrugged out of her nurses outfit.
She had been working as a nurse at the Goldridge Hospital for six years now.
Now looking back, She wasnt sure exactly what had made her take the job. . .
Perhaps in hospitals so often she had to watch as people lost their loved ones to various illnesses.
It was a constant reminder that she was not alone.
That she was not the only one who had lost a loved and precious one.
She got into her car and took the freeway, Noting how the traffic seemed rather busy at this hour.
There was a car behind her. .
A black Ford Focus that had been behind her for the last ten minutes.
Irina rubbed her eyes, and glanced in the rearview mirror trying to get a better look at the car.
And more appropriately the driver.
His face however was hard to see as the windscreen of the car was nearly coated in a thin layer of mud.
Irina felt a small shiver course through her as realised the car looked awfully familiar. . .
Thats when it clicked.
She had seen the car parked in the hospital parking lot yesterday.
What had struck her odd about that particular Car was that it had been there early in the moring when she had arrived for work and had left around the same time she had.
Irina drummed her fingertips on the steering wheel as she stopped at the intersection waiting for the robot to go green.
She turned left and Much to her relief the car Turned right.
It wasnt following her after all.
Irina scolded herself for being paranoid but she still couldnt shake of the eerie feeling that she was being watched. . .
