EPISODE 5: “The Night They Drew Blood”

School ended, but the tension didn’t.

It followed Rosey home like a shadow that refused to disappear.

Helene and Isabelle walked with her through the crowded street outside school.

“Bianca is definitely planning something,” Helene said nervously.

Rosey shrugged.

“Let her. I’m bored anyway.”

Isabelle frowned.

“You’re always bored right before trouble starts.”

Rosey smirked.

“That’s called personality.”

The Setup

That night.

Empty school building.

Lights half-off.

Bianca Valerio stood inside the sports hall with Maia and Ellena.

Smiling.

Not innocent.

Not kind.

“Tonight,” Bianca said softly, “we teach Rosey Belladona a lesson she’ll never forget.”

Maia grinned.

“What kind of lesson?”

Bianca looked toward the locked doors.

“A reminder… that she doesn’t belong in our world.”

Ellena whispered:

“Lorenzo said he might show up.”

Bianca’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“Then he’ll see it too.”

---

Rosey Arrives

Rosey didn’t come alone.

Helene begged her not to go.

Isabelle insisted it was a trap.

Rosey still came.

“Relax,” she said. “Worst case scenario, I beat people up and go home.”

The doors slammed behind her.

Locked.

Of course.

Rosey sighed.

“I swear, every place in this city has commitment issues.”

---

The Trap Opens

Lights turned on.

One by one.

Bianca stood in the center of the hall.

Clapping slowly.

“Welcome, Rosey.”

Rosey crossed her arms.

“I would say ‘nice setup’, but it looks like a budget villain scene.”

Laughter from Maia and Ellena.

Bianca smiled tighter.

“You really think you can just appear in school and act like you own it?”

Rosey tilted her head.

“I don’t think that.”

A pause.

“I know that.”

Silence.

---

The Attack Begins

Bianca snapped her fingers.

The doors behind Rosey slammed open.

Footsteps.

Students from Bianca’s side surrounded her.

Not normal students.

Too aggressive.

Too prepared.

Rosey sighed.

“Okay. So we’re doing violence today. Lovely.”

She cracked her knuckles.

Helene whispered from the side:

“Rosey… don’t—”

Too late.

First punch came.

Rosey ducked.

Countered.

One hit.

Two hits.

Someone fell.

Another tried to grab her—she twisted, slammed them into the floor.

Fast.

Clean.

Controlled.

---

But Then—Lorenzo Arrives

“Enough.”

A voice cut through the chaos.

Lorenzo Vitale stepped in.

He saw Rosey fighting.

Paused.

Just for a second.

Bianca noticed.

“Lorenzo! Do something!”

But he didn’t move.

His eyes stayed on Rosey.

Like he was trying to understand her.

Rosey wiped blood from her lip.

“Finally. The emotional damage support team arrived.”

Lorenzo frowned.

“You shouldn’t be here.”

Rosey smirked.

“You shouldn’t care.”

That hit harder than expected.

---

Georgina’s Hidden Hand

Outside.

Black car.

Georgina Serenella watched through tinted glass.

Smiling slightly.

“Let them fight,” she whispered. “The more broken she becomes… the easier she is to remove.”

A man beside her asked:

“Should we interfere?”

Georgina shook her head.

“No.”

Pause.

Then softly:

“Let Vincenzo see what kind of girl he brought home.”

---

The Turning Point

Inside the hall.

Bianca grabbed a metal bat.

Rosey turned.

“Okay… now that’s dramatic.”

Bianca swung—

Rosey blocked.

But the impact sent her sliding back.

For the first time, Rosey’s expression changed.

Not fear.

Focus.

Lorenzo stepped forward instinctively.

But stopped himself.

Bianca smiled.

“Not so strong now, are you?”

Rosey stood up slowly.

Dusting her hands.

“No,” she said quietly. “I was just warming up.”

---

The Arrival of Darkness

Suddenly—

The lights flickered.

Then went out.

Silence.

Everyone froze.

A sound echoed outside.

Car doors.

Steps.

Heavy.

Controlled.

The main door exploded open.

Light returned.

And standing there—

Vincenzo De Luca.

Cold expression.

Sharp eyes.

Instant silence.

Even Bianca froze.

Rosey blinked.

“…Oh great. The emotional damage supervisor arrived.”

Vincenzo didn’t look at anyone else.

Only her.

“Rosey.”

Just her name.

But it carried weight.

Danger.

Control.

Something deeper.

---

END OF EPISODE 5

A school fight turned into chaos.

Bianca’s plan failed.

Lorenzo saw a side of Rosey he didn’t understand.

Georgina watched everything unfold like a chess game.

And Vincenzo… finally stepped into Rosey’s world.

Not as a stranger.

But as something far more dangerous.
