"Is it even a good idea to invite Persephone?" Marcus asked Billy.

None of the group had seen her since she'd killed that masked man and now bringing her on a trip to kill another person didn't seem like such a good idea.

Saya turned to Billy with a chuckle,

"He saw her blacked out"

"Ah" Billy understood slinging his arm over the boys shoulders.

When he'd first saw the girl in full murder mode he'd refused to look her in the eyes, in fact most people did which was probably the reason she had no friends at Kings.

Saya had been to see Petra after her being injured mainly to apologise but also to speak to her about whether she should even go to Vegas with the rats. Petra told her to go and have fun but she'd begged her to ask Sephy to go along.

Which brought them to where they were knocking lightly on her room door. She didn't share, the only student that didn't.

Sephy had just come back from the showers so she opened the door in just a towel wrapped around her body. She knew that the boys that stood behind Saya were staring at her bare legs but she didn't care.

"We're going on a road trip" Saya stated leaning herself on the door frame, Sephy cocked her eyebrow as if to ask for something to convince her "I'm taking them to hippy land" she smirked.

"Drugs? I'm in" Sephy smirked back before flickering her eyes towards Marcus and Billy, she whistled which snapped their heads up "eyes are up here"

"See you" Saya smiled grabbing onto Billy's ear to drag him away from the door. Sephy admired Marcus for a few seconds before slamming her door shut.

She pressed herself against it.

Sephy knew that she must've snapped between her blacking out in the vent and waking up on the floor of the hallway pressed against her room door.

And any guesses from Marcus' fearful eyes that he had witnessed it all.

She glanced down at her hands and hoped that all the blood had been washed from them, although metaphorically it was never going to leave her.

"You're late." Willie shot towards Sephy as she jumped herself over the car onto the back without opening the door. She slapped the back of his head as a signal for him to move over and she allowed herself to slot between him and the door itself.

"You're Willie." she stared back, he glared at her confused before she laughed sarcastically "oh sorry I thought we were stating the obvious"

Billy and Maria spurted with laughter and Willie bowed his head in embarrassment but she nudged his arm and shook her head as if to tell him to let it fly over his head.

When the car pulled up in a bustling site of hippies and drug addicts, Willie looked around worriedly.

"I didn't sign up for this shit" he said as Sephy swung herself out of the car to join the girls who stood with their arms crossed. Sephy stuck out her bottom lip and twanged it and he rolled his eyes.

"Are we really splitting off into boys and girls?" Billy asked looking from Marcus to Saya.

"Why, you fuckheads don't think you'll be able to survive?" Sephy asked placing a hand on her hip and cocking her head in the direction of Billy.

"It's whether YOULL be able to survive" Marcus fired back almost knocking Sephy off of her feet. Saya was able to throw in her input before Sephy snapped back at him.

"I grew up Yakuza. I managed a champagne club before I was 13. Hard-core, not some rookie-hour, baby bullshit you pansies get up to. Give me your money. You can't trust these crunchy fuckers." Saya shot towards him with a smirk as if proving him wrong felt good.

"You don't think I can tell if someone is selling me bunk drugs?" Marcus questioned leaning his arm upon the car door.

The girls giggled and turned around to walk away, Sephy turned back to watch as Marcus and the boys stared at their ass' as they swayed.

"Good luck" she said sarcastically.

When they disappeared Marcus ran both hands over his head and let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding. Willie reached forward and grabbed both his shoulders from behind.

"Is Arguello scared of Gray?" He asked and the boy scoffed before turning to look at Billy. Billy's eyes basically told him not to lie so he coughed down his sarcasm and shrugged.

"Dude how ARENT you scared?" He asked running a hand through his hair, allowing the same hand to brush his face.

"Me? Scared?" Willie laughed before narrowing his eyes "I'm scared fucking shitless, dude"

The boys laughed until Marcus followed on with another question.

"What happens if she blacks out and murders all of us?"

Willie chuckled and swung himself out of the car, signalling with his head for the boys to follow him. As they weaved between a few caravans Willie finally chose the words to explain Sephy.

"It's weird she's always in control when she's unconscious, it's a strength I certainly haven't seen before. I think that's why she's Master Lin's favourite"

Billy slapped Marcus as a goodbye and waved timidly towards Willie before bouncing off to find something to do without the talk of the girl.

"She knows who she needs to kill and she does it. She'd never hurt someone she loved even when she's blacked out" Willie explained turning a corner.

"Didn't she murder the whole of her family?" Marcus fired back and Willie took his toothpick out of his mouth.

"You like her?" He answered with another question, Marcus scoffed and danced between the muddy puddles upon the floor.

"I mean she's hot I-"

"Everyone thinks she's hot, Arguello" Willie rolled his eyes, the boy in front of him was like a window pane. He knew he liked her,

He just needed to get in line.
