"We have to go now." Lauren says. She needed to know if Camila was okay.
"You need to calm down." Kiana says. Lauren rolls her eyes.
"Who died and made you boss?" Zayn ask. "Why the hell am I still here?" He whispers to hisself.
The group was falling apart. Nobody wanted to admit it but they didn't have to. Things have changed, feelings have been lost and souls are gone. Yet they still remain together for one purpose.
Lauren had been sitting on the ground trying to think of a good plan. She couldn't concentrate because she could feel someone watching her. Lauren looked up and saw no one watching her but she could still feel it. When she looked to the trees that's when she saw it. The person watching her, and to her surprise it was Ryan.
"What the hell?" Lauren says. She doesn't waste any time running over to him. When she made it to him her heart stopped, he was gone.
"Lauren What the hell are you doing?" James ask. When he saw his sister take off towards the trees he didn't hesitate to do the same.
"He was right here." Lauren says. James looks at the spot Lauren was pointing to.
"Who?" He ask.
"Ryan." Lauren says. "He was right here, watching me."
James doesn't say anything, instead he takes Lauren's hand and they walk back to the others. When they make it back James looks to Kiana and gives her a concerned look. Kiana gets the message and walks off to the side with James.
"Something is wrong with her." James says. Kiana smiles.
"It's Lauren we're talking about." Kiana says. James shakes his head.
"No this is different. She ran towards the woods because she saw Ryan." James says. Kiana had stopped smiling and was now frowning.
"That's impossible." Kiana says. "I'll check her head out."
James and Kiana walk back to the group and everyone can feel the tension.
"Lauren." Kiana says softly. "I need to check your head, will you let me do that?"
"Kiana stop talking to me like I'm a baby." Lauren says. Kiana smiles.
"Harry and I are the doctors shouldn't we be the ones looking at Lauren's head injury?" Zayn says. Kiana rolls her eyes.
"There's a lot you don't know about me. For starters my father and mother were both doctors, so guess what I studied to be?" Kiana says.
"Can you both just stop. I'm sick of the back and forth. I'm sick of the fighting. God, why can't we all just get along." Ally says.
"Sorry not all of us are optimistic." Zendaya says.
"Really Z?" Harry says. "I'm with Ally."
"Wait you're taking sides now?" Dinah says. "I'm with whatever side helps bring Camila back."
"Babe it's too dangerous to go back." Normani says.
"Mani that's our friend." Dinah says.
Everyone started to argue about who was right and who was wrong. It was hard to focus, it was impossible to understand. Lauren didn't say a word, for many reasons but the main reason was that she was now staring Ryan in the face.
"Ryan?" Lauren says. She felt sick to her stomach. "Oh I'm so glad you're here. Your mom is going to be filled with joy."
When Ryan didn't respond Lauren felt concerned.
"What's wrong?" Lauren ask. Ryan points to Lauren's head. "My head?"
"Lauren who are you talking to?" James ask. Lauren was so caught up in talking to Ryan she hadn't noticed the fighting stop.
"Ry..." She stopped when she didn't see Ryan in front of her anymore.
"Are you okay?" Harry ask. Lauren nods her head.
"You guys saw him too, right?" Lauren ask. When she got no response, she felt that feeling in her stomach again.
"I think you need some rest." Kiana says.
"No we need to get to Camila." Lauren stands up and starts walking again.

"Okay Camila. I'm done being nice, you're either going to tell me or die." Master Cahile says.
"Yeah I think I choose death." Camila says. She was standing in front of Master Cahile.
"Your loyalty runs deep. But now that I know you're not going to tell me.... it's time to die." Master Cahile says.
"What's your real name?" Camila ask.
"What?" Master Cahile says.
"Well if I'm going to die I would like to know your name." Camila takes a seat in the corner of the room. "It's not like I can tell anyone."
"I'll tell you my name if you tell me something." Master Cahile says.
"I'm not giving up my friends." Camila says.
"Oh that's not what I want." Master Cahile says. "Do we have a deal?"
"Deal." Camila said bitterly.
"Guard would you take Camila to the main center." Master Cahile says.
"Wait... are you going to tell me your name?" Camila ask. Master Cahile rolled her eyes.
"My name is Michelle." Master Cahile says.
