The Unknowns

As she walks back to Jace's room, Ash's mind is churning over ways to get the boys on her side. On her people's side. She is so lost in thought that she trips over someone's luggage and falls on top of them.

Ash blushes and stands up quickly and agilely. She offers a hand down to the one she fell into and the other girl takes it.

"Thanks Cousin. You do know that if you wanted a hug you could have just asked, right?" The other girl laughs at her own joke and flings herself upon Ash, almost knocking them both down again.

"Serena... Serena you can let go of me now. I can't... breathe."

Serena laughs. "Sorry, Sorry..." She lets go of Ash's waist and leans against the wall. Her brown hair and tan skin ripples in and out of sight as she moves.

Ash grabs her arm. Her voice goes low and she hisses. "Serena! Stop it, you are gonna get us caught."

Serena shrugs and slips the key into the door handle. She enters the room and Ash is forced to follow.
