Melissa was getting everything that she was wanting from the seating arrangement that she had changed around just before they came into the dinning area.  Michelangelo looked at Melissa very strangely, but knew she had to be up to something, he had been with her way too long not to trust her instinct.<br/><br/>Missy watched as Marina sat down noticing ever so slightly the moment of Dustin's chair.  If she would not have been paying close attention to what was going on with them she would not have noticed.  Between watching Dustin and Marina, she continued to watch Reni with interest.  The looked on Reni's face was undeniable she was very concerned.  It was very apparent that something had happened.  She knew that Marina and Reni had already been in a fight at school because the headmaster had called them and let them know.<br/><br/>Missy knew next year they started the advancement program at the academy for them.  It was like college really.  Missy needed to make sure that Marina was not causing any problems, because she could tell one wrong movement and Reni would kill Marina.  She could tell that Reni was very protective of Dustin, just like Missy was with Micheal.  Not that Missy would ever admit, she too killed once too a woman obsessed with her husband, her husband never even knew.<br/><br/>The one thing that concerned Missy was what did Marina do that she needed to apologize for , what else has happened.  She glanced over at Reni and noticed her playing with the food on her plate.  Occasionally glancing to see what was going on, it was really bothering her.<br/><br/>Once the meal was over she excused herself and stopped and whispered to Reni to meet her in her library as soon as she could.<br/><br/>********************<br/>Through the whole meal Marina was trying to make small talk with Dustin and was not getting very far.  At one point she went to reach over and touch his knee and try to say something in his ear.  She was getting a little irritated that he was trying to ignore her.  Well that was fine, sometime soon he was not going to be able to ignore her any more.<br/><br/>When she noticed that everyone had left she was glad because this give her another chance to speak with Dustin.<br/><br/>"Well now we are alone, except for Reni.  Come on Dustin, I was mad I didn't mean to hurt you.  I am really sorry.  I would really like to be your friend and get past this, please?"<br/><br/>That was when Reni waked up to them and she turned her attention to her.<br/><br/>**************<br/>Reni had no idea what her mother was doing but she was not doing ok, she couldn't even eat the meal she was too busy playing with the food watching Marina and Dustin.  She could not believe that Marina was apologizing what was that girl up too.  Marina wanted nothing to girl the girl now.  Marina wanted something that was hers, she hurt something that was hers and she was going to pay sooner or later.<br/><br/>Reni was getting madder as she was staring at the two of them, so much to the fact she bent the fork that was in her hand.  She was so lost in the moment watching the two of them that when her mother walked up to her she jumped a little and dropped the fork.  She gave her mother a nod and still could not remove her watch.  She noticed slight glances from Marina, along with the smirks.<br/><br/>Reni was watching everyone else leave, just leaving the three of them in the room.  Reni got up and walked over to Dustin and Marina and gave a forced smile to the two of them.<br/><br/>"Come on Dustin, let go take a walk.  I will show you my favorite spot."  Reni stated through gritted teeth trying to remain calm.<br/><br/>"Can I come with you?"  Marina asked almost sickeningly polite<br/><br/>Reni was at a lost at what to do, she knew that if she said no there would be issues with Aunt Mattie is she said no.  Maybe she could think of a way to loose her.<br/><br/>"Hmm, I suppose Marina.  But it won't be for long."  Reni sighed inwardly and glanced at Dustin.<br/><br/>Reni was leading them out of the room and that was when her mother appeared in front of them.<br/><br/>"Marina, my dear may I please have a few words with you? Then you shall catch back up with these two."  Missy asked politely.<br/><br/>Reni sighed a breathe of relief when her mother took off Marina and she led Dustin back down to the room downstairs and made sure to lock and close the door behind her.<br/><br/>"Dustin, should we tell my mother what Marina did?  I just don't trust her and think she will do something again.  I am just afraid."<br/><br/>Reni was afraid that between his angel and her they couldn't protect him from the likes of her.
