I dropped my tray down on the table and landed in the seat beside Nicky.
"Jesus Alex." Nicky shot at me playfully, her hand over her heart in fake fright.
"Nope. Just me." I replied plainly. "Pennsatucky is always free if you're in wanting a session with the embodiment of Christ." I gestured to the other side of the cafeteria, my sarcasm drowning out all possible truth behind my words.
"Where's Carter?" Lorna asked, looking up from her half-devoured meal of over-cooked lasagna. I reminded quiet, expecting Nicky to say something but she just looked at me. An eyebrow raised and a dirty smirk painted on her lips.
"What's that look meant to mean?" I huffed. "You were with her last, I left the laundry early."

"She said she heading back to her bunk before we ate." Nicky stated looking down as she pushed her square of lasagna around her plate in complete disinterest.
"You gonna eat that?" Lorna asked eyeing my tray off.
"All yours." I remarked pushing it towards her before I span my legs around the chair and stood up.
"Where are you going?" Nicky asked, her mouth full with food and her words slightly slurred.
"To beat the shower rush." I replied.
"I thought you was a morning person." Lorna muttered as she balanced my lasagna on two pieces of cutlery and moved it onto her plate.
"I am." I mumbled.
"She sticks of cum." Nicky stated very blunting.
"Fuck off." I shot back in protest.
"Just go and shower." Nicky muttered with a grin, shaking her head in disapproval she shooed me off. Turning around I walked out of the cafeteria and towards E-Dorms.

Walking down the corridor of new bunkers I rounded a corner to find two women laying in the floor. The third held a girl dressed in orange up against the wall, her hand around the new girl's throat.
"What the fuck are you doing?!" I shouted moving forward. The tall blonde finger didn't even flinch when the new girl spat in her face.
"Simôn gave me a job." She hissed, I immediately recognised her voice. Stewart. "To kill you and then he would get me out."
"I knew you were still doing his dirty work." The new girl's voice was breathy and cracked as Stewart's grip around her throat tightened. I went to move forward when a voice called.

"Vause." Hissed a voice from my left. I turned to see Stewart's right hand, Killian, standing less then a meter away from me. Blood dripped from her nose and she held her rib but other then that she looked alive.
"Turn around. Walk away. Forget you saw anything." She hissed. My gaze landed back on the new girl in orange who now stood her arms arms pinned behind her back by two other women. Her long brown hair was a mattered mess around her face hiding Stewart lips as she whispered dark shit into the girl's ear.
"Don't do this Emma." The girl whispered, her voice cracking from when Stewart's grip had held her throat.
"You should have killed me the day your pathetic brother brought me home." Stewart hissed as she threw a punch at the girl. Hitting her full in the stomach, the girl fell forward. The two ladies holding her up and on her feet. Without their grip oh her arms, the new girl would have collapsed to the ground in front of Stewart.

"Thomas was always the stupid, gualable one, but I never picked you to be this weak." Stewart spat as she swing her fist around from another hit. This time as her knuckles sailed towards the girl's face, the new girl had shoved one of the women holding her forward. The punch from Stewart knocked that woman unconscious. In one swift movement the girl locked the arm of her remaining holder and flipped her to the floor. Stewart threw punch at the girl who caught her hand and slammed her elbow to the side of Stewart's head.

"His name was Tommy." The girl spat before kicking Stewart behind the knees and causing the blonde's legs gave way as she collapsed to the ground. "And he was smarter then your fucking ass." She hissed at Stewart's half conscious fingers at her feet. The girl then looked up and moved away from the pile of injured inmates.

"Move." The girl shouted at me, ducking under a punch from Killian. She slammed her fist into the back of Killian's knee making her legs buckle and following suit, Killian collapsed to the ground. The new girl turned to look at me. Her bright blue eyes shone with a familiar light.
"Move Alex." She hissed grabbing my arm she pulled me after her, away from the gang who had been beating her up. I turned back to look down the corridor. Four women lay on the ground nursing injuries. The words got stuck in my throat when I realised what had happened.

She had taken on four fully grown women single handedly. And had come out on top.
"You really think you could take all four of us?"
"You've read my record. You answer that yourself."
She pulled me behind her. Not stopping until we emerged in an used side corridor. I turned to look at her in shock.
"What... the fuck... was that?" I asked slowly. She just looked at me blankly. Her features now visable even under the layer of blood and bruises. Her face was all too familiar, the words got stuck in my throat as I tried to speak. Realisation knocking me speechless.

All I managed to get out was one chocked word.

"Taylor?.."
