it amazing. Especially when it came to her school work. She was enrolled in her last semester at the local community college. She had focused on her artistry and took the proper credits to be able to transfer to one of the best art schools in the country, which was located in New York. It was her dream to go to New York and display her artwork for all the best critics to see. Hopefully one day, she’d get there.
                  “Breakfast,” Nova yelled up the stairs. Shortly after, three sets of footsteps made their way down the steps. Jeremy, Henry and Lula walked into the kitchen, all with smiling faces. The family sat down and enjoyed their breakfast. Henry and Lula gloated and went on and on about their new marriage. Nova sat happily watching her father. Jeremy, on the other hand, was feeling sick to his stomach. He wasn’t sure if it was the fact that he killed a man last night or that the woman of his dreams was now his step-sister.
                  Nova excused herself from the table early, washed her dishes and ran upstairs to get ready for her day. She had a long day ahead of her, between being a judge at the art showcase at school, along with her classes. She made her way out of the house and to the local community college. The room where the showcase was being held was full with people already. Nova walked around, viewing all the wonderful masterpieces people had made. She loved looking at other works of art and getting inspiration from them. That’s why she signed up to be a judge in the first place. The final winners were announced and Nova made her way to her evening class.
                  It was one of her favorite classes too. Her professor was one that she had taken over and over throughout her time there. He thought her such valuable things and she couldn’t imagine not having a class with him. She was currently working on a mural with several other students. It was of a beautiful beach Nova had drawn. They used breathtaking pinks and oranges for the horizon, dark and light blues for the ocean and beige and tan or the sand. This mural screamed color and Nova loved every part of it.
                  The class was dismissed and the students made their way to their vehicles. It was well passed sun down, so Nova tried making it to her car quickly. As soon as she got close to her car, she felt a cold hand on her arm. “Nova, you look so great,” a cold voice blurted out. Nova knew that voice and wanted nothing more than to get in her car and speed off. “Cole, please leave me alone,” Nova asked as she turned to see her ex-boyfriend. She and Cole had recently broken up. They had been on and off for years, until Nova realized she deserved much better.
                  Cole wouldn’t leave her alone. He grabbed her arms, butt and hips. He insisted that the two got back together, however Nova wanted none of it. She pushed him off, yelled from him to stop and even hit him with her keys. He wouldn’t stop. He began pushing her, yelling at her and even kissing her cheek. Finally, Nova was screaming for help, but no one was around. She had parked far away and everyone around had left in their cars. It was just Nova and Cole. Nova began to panic, all she could think was that he was going to harm her.
                  Suddenly, Cole took his large hand and wrapped it around Nova’s petite neck. She gasped for air, while trying to yell for help. Cole began chuckling, “Oh, Nova. You’re wasting precious air.” Nova began really panicking, flinging her arms and legs everywhere. She was trying her best to hit Cole, but she wasn’t successful. She couldn’t breathe, her vision grew blurry and her body felt limp.
                  The next thing Lola knew, she was lying on the ground. Her neck was sore and she couldn’t stand. She heard Cole’s screaming in the distance. She picked her head up to see a large grizzly bear mauling
