Ryan started pointing towards Big Ben. "I know that's beautiful, but if you live here as long as I have, you'll get annoyed," He joked.

I laughed as I munched on my popcorn. "I get it. It's like a huge alarm clock for you."

I know Newt promised to show me around London, but he had other business to attend to. Not only that, Ryan said he'd be my tour guide. I felt bad for Newt because he wanted to show me some of these places, so I asked Ryan if he could show me only half of what London has to offer. He showed me Big Ben, the Millennium Bridge, he took me to see this Shakespearean show. One of the actors had a costume incident and flashed everyone his....friend.

After that incident Ryan took me to one of the shops to get my mind off it. Which was hard because we were joking about it. For example, Ryan said how the incident was a real tragedy. That it bare-ly made it to the third scene.

He held the door open for me when we arrived at Mother's Bakery, Ryan got to know me a bit better today. I told him about Jacob and his little bakery back in New York. He challenged me to try Mother's cherry pie.

I nodded. "All right, but if I hate it then you have to call Jacob and tell him he's the baking king."

Ryan chuckled. "Ok, and if you like it, then you...have to cut your hair."

I gave him a skeptical look. "How short?"

He just smirk. "That's for me to know and for you to dot, dot, dot."

I bit my lip before I shook his hand. "Deal."

He told me to find a seat while he grabbed the pie. I went over towards an empty booth and waited. I really need to call Jacob though. He wanted to know how my evening with Newt went and I forgot to call. I looked out the window and see a familiar fringe coming around the corner. A small smile came to my face when I spot Newt stopping in front of the shop.

He broke into a smile and waved at me. I chuckled and waved back as he made his way over to the bakery. The little bell ring and Newt smiled as he came over towards my table.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Oh, I got out early from work and was heading home," He answered.

I placed my hands under my chin. "Right, how is everything at the store?" Newt mentioned that he works in a pet store.

He gave me a nervous smile. "Well, if you consider pulling two snakes apart before one eats another than...everything was fine."

I chuckled as Ryan came over. "All right. One cherry pie for Alina and one apple pie for -" Ryan cut off when he found Newt next to me. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see you there." He smiled as he held his hand out. "I'm Ryan."

Newt shook his hand. "Newt. You must be the friend Alina talks about."

Ryan furrowed his eyebrows. "Weird. I've never heard about you." He gestured towards me and Newt. "How do you two know each other?"

"Oh, Newt's my -"

Newt cut me off. "Boyfriend." My eyes widen. Boyfriend? We only went out on one date and kissed. But I couldn't help it if my heart swelled when he called himself my boyfriend. "Um, I'm her boyfriend."

Ryan smiled and nodded towards the empty chair. "Why don't you join us?"

Newt shook his head. "I wouldn't want to intrude -"

I shook my head. "No, no, no. You're not intruding anything." I patted the seat next to me. "Come on, Newt." He slowly nodded before he sat down, but that's when my bladder decided to interrupt. I got up. "Sorry, nature calls."

Ryan and Newt smiled at me before I went over to the bathrooms. The door was closed so I knocked to make sure it wasn't occupied. I sighed in relief when no one answered and opened the door. But that was shortly lived when I started to scream and backed away.

Newt and Ryan rushed over. "Alina?" Newt called out worryingly.

I didn't said anything as I pointed a shaky finger towards the bathroom. Newt gently pushed me back and pulled the door wide open. There was a woman in there. Her body was torn to shreds as blood was smeared all over the walls. Her eyes were shot open as blood left her opened mouth. I think I'm going to be sick.

"Merlin's beard."
