The other one

A predator and a prey

Third person pov

At dinner table everyone was eating and talking about there day. Mia was going on and on about her day. Rose was silently eating. Her eating habits had been better.
"What about you Rose." Damon asked.
"Oh umm it was good." She replied.
"She was actually my partner in the badminton match I was talking about." Mia said.
"We almost lost cause she was just standing there like a fool for the first half, but then she played surprisingly well. Thank God. " She said.
Nikolai frowned at her. "Don't call your sister a fool." He said.
Mia was shocked. Not call her a fool!
She had never been chastised about saying anything bad about her. They always encouraged her. And in her younger years..... No she didn't want to think about that time.
This was probably a test she thought.
Yeh that's exactly it. She will not fail. She can not fail. What if all that started happening to her again. The last time she had failed.... No don't think about that Mia.
Failure isn't an option.
