• Mystique was just about to call Antonio, when she heard a honk followed by a shout.
    "MYSTIQUE! YOUR CARRAIGE AWAITS!"
    That's Antonio for you, Mystique laughed to herself as she said goodbye to her mom and ran out to Antonio's car.
    "M-lady," Antonio greeted with a bow.
    "You don't have to act like I'm a princess," Mystique laughed as they both got in the car.
    "You're my princess," Antonio complimented as he kissed her.
    "And you're my Prince Charming," she replied.
    The rest of the day went really slow, because Antonio and Mystique never had any classes together. They dreaded the morning, ecstatic when they went to lunch together. They were like your modern day Romeo and Juliet, except their families weren't ready to kill each other.
    Antonio drove Mystique home, then went home to find his father screaming.
    "I don't care how much it is!" he screamed into the cell phone. "Just get the job DONE!"
    "Dad," Antonio said. "Everything alright?"
    "Yeah, just a raccoon problem in the yard," his father answered calmly. "Nothing to worry about."
    "Oh, okay." Antonio grabbed his backpack and went upstairs.
    Mr. Donacelli dialed a new number. "Hey, it's me," he whispered. "Make sure Mystique Dorado is alive when you bring her to me."

    The rain pounded on the window in Mystique's room. It was 11 at night; both of her parents were in Hawaii for their anniversary. For a while, the whole house seemed empty. All of a sudden, a knock rang throughout the house.
    Now who could THAT be at this time of night?!?, Mystique thought as she wearily walked toward the door. By the time she was a few feet away, a large man kicked down the door. Mystique screamed and headed toward the back door, only to be trapped by two more men. They wrestled her to the ground, Mystique kicking and screaming. They knocked her out with a blow to the head, tied and gagged her, and threw her into the back of the van.
