The forest loomed all around them as the team moved on away from the training ground and away from the following Paula Carlin. Not one person looked different besides facial features which all held a worry frown; they all wore military issued BDU’s with a gun on their back and side arms on their hips as well as a long knife in their belts.

Ashley stood close to her father, brown eyes sweeping the distance, even glancing back to Spencer who seemed to take the hint that the brunette wanted nothing to do with her now and so trudged further ahead, “She didn’t mean it you know,” her father whispered.

“I know,” she spoke back peeling her eyes from her love and back out to the forest around them, “I still can’t help but feel like she’s going to do it again though.”

Raife nodded in understanding as he placed a hand on her shoulder, “I think you broke it.”

She stared into her father’s eyes, “How do you know?”

He shrugged, “True love,” he kissed her temple and proceeded forward.

Ashley walked along keeping the words her father spoke close to her heart. Sure she listened to Spencer tell her everything she knew about being hypnotized, how only true love would break the spell and save them both, one from a gruesome death and the other from terrible guilt. But how could she get past the fact that her girlfriend tried to kill her, every time she glanced at her she was back at the training ground, laying on her back surrounded by rain and the deadly look of blue eyes boring down on her. She knew Spencer didn’t have a deadly look when it really happened but in her mind it was worse. An evil smirk upon pale skin, aimed at her, the knife glistening in the moonlight although it was raining and there was no moon.

“You okay?” Constance wondered, shifting her rifle on her shoulder.

Ashley shrugged keeping her eyes trained ahead.

“You know we’ve met before,” Brown eyes widened and laid upon the woman beside her, “Yeah…I wasn’t suppose to say anything but, well you were like a little sister to me, both of you although Spencer was always off in her own little world.”
