Y/N POV~five months later
I wander through the market, looking at all the shops. I go into a few, seeing what they have to offer.

The shop has cute clothing for the blistering June heat, along with bikinis and hats. I find one that I really like. It's navy blue with white dots creating hearts on each breast pad and thin red tie strings.

"That one is so cute," a woman says coming up to me, "and totally you."

I smile at her she has short read hair,  red lips to match and an absolutely stunning figure.

I've only been here for about a month now but I've seen this woman here and there.

"I'm Natasha," she says extending her hand to me, "you can call me Nat."

"Ashley," I give her my alias with a smile, "It's nice to meet you Nat."

"Nice to meet you too, Ashley."

I go try it on. She was right it's super cute. I step out to show her doing a small spin as I do.

"I told you it was totally you," she smiles warmly, then frowns, "what happened to your back?"

She must have noticed the scars, although I would have been surprised if she had sent with how big they are.

"Only injury from when I was a kid," I lie, giving her a sweet smile.

We talk for a bit more as I buy the bikini, talking about different clothing stores I should look at, though I don't have much intention of doing so. The more things I have the harder it is to pack up and leave on short notice.

"Do you wanna grab some coffee?" Natasha asks as we exit the shop.

"Sure," I wouldn't normally accept an invite of any kind, but I'm not getting any sketchy vibes from her.

We go to a small coffee shop around the corner. It's cute with floral decorations and pastel blue walls. It's comfortable.

"So how long have you lived here?" I ask as we sit down with our coffees.

"A few years," sh takes a sip of her coffee.

I can feel it.
She lied.

"What about you? I know you haven't been around too long right?"

"Only about a month," I sip my coffee, keeping my eyes in here from over the brim.

"Nice," she smiles.

"So what's your last name Nat?" I set down my coffee, giving here a sweet smile.

She raises a brow.

"What?" I laugh a bit, "I just wanna know the name of my first friend here."

"Kadance," she answers with a sweet smile.

Lie.

"Natasha Kadance," I say the full name she gave me.

"And yours?" She leans on the table a bit.

"Callaway," I give her, "Ashley Callaway."

We smile together as we continue our conversation.

We talk about the library and small restaurants that are good.

She doesn't tell me anymore lies while in the shop.

We walk out intended on heading to the library we had discussed.

While she seems nice and friendly, there is definitely something off about Natasha. I decide to test something.

NATASHA'S POV
We walk to the library as I tell her about some of the shops along the way.
