Lauren was furious at Ashley Frangipane.

"Ashley" she said lowly.

Ashley looked away.

"Ashley look at me"

Ashley turned slowly to face her.

"Listen to me. I'm taking you to Bedstuy. You are to stay quiet and do everything I tell you. I need you to do as I say. Promise?"

Ashley nodded "Promise"

The train pulled into the station and Lauren took Ashley's hand and pulled her towards a brick walled building in the middle of the city. Ashley said nothing but she hated Bedstuy. It was where Zach lived.

Lauren brought the blue haired girl to a house and knocked five times on the door.

It was Camila who pulled it open.

"Hi sunshine" she said, puffing some smoke in Lauren's face.

"Don't "sunshine" me. Your father came to fucking Manhattan looking for you and then went to attack me when I didn't provide him with the answers he wanted. What the fuck are you playing at Camila?! He thinks you're being held fucking hostage" Lauren spat at Camila, who just giggled.

Lauren's voice started to fade as Ashley walked away from the two girls bickering at the door. There was a boy at the end of the street who looked awfully like Zach.

"Zach?" Ashley whispered. "Zach?"

"Who do you think you are Camila? I-"

Camila cut her off "Where's the mermaid going?"

Lauren turned to where Camila was pointing at a blue haired girl walking further down the street.

She muttered under her breath as she walked towards her.

Ashley was close to him now. She was just one whisper away.

"ASHLEY!"

She jumped and turned. Zach jumped. Camila's heart jumped.

And everything went quiet after a gunshot caused Lauren to hit the ground with a thud.
