*AMBAHR'S POV*

After yesterday's awkward moment where I told everyone that I hadn't found my soulmate, I guess it was ... different.

Walking inside the set I greeted Andrew, who was talking to a nearby set designer about who-knows-what.

Candice, Carlos and Danielle were sitting together as they discussed what they were going to do for Grant's birthday. As they saw me approach, smiles creeped on their faces.

"Hi!"

"So, I had a couple questions for you.. that I forgot to ask a couple days ago.." Carlos stuttered, nervous as his fingers absentmindedly played with the hem of his shirt.

"Shoot."

"Do you sing?"

I blushed, furiously, knowing that it was something I was not proud of, but somehow people liked it.

"You do! I knew it! You looked like someone who sang!"

Candice was the first to react. Then Danielle. Carlos was surprised, especially since there were now 3-4 people who sang on the crew.

"And I wanted to know if you could show us your soulmate tattoo?"

"Why?"

"We are just curious..."

"I... I don't know guys."

"That's fine. We won't pressure you."

A comfortable silence spread around us as we smiled. I had made friends through a job opportunity as I realized how lucky I actually was to be here.

"Can I show you mine?"

Candice nervously smiled as I nodded. She pulled down the collar of her shirt to reveal an infinity sign with the initials following the figure eight.

"Wow. That's beautiful."

"Yeah."

"Why is it gold instead of black?"

Danielle explained why, as Carlos looked over and attentively listened. I was curious so I decided to listen as well.

"Supposedly, rumor has it that when you meet your soulmate, your tattoo turns gold instead of black. And the letters turn a bright red color."

"Wow.."

"Hey guys!"

Grant walked up to us, a girl beside him as she smiled, looking at everyone. She was beautiful.

"Hi! Who's this?"

"This is my girlfriend, Haylee."

"Wait, is this your soulmate?"

He nodded as everyone greeted her. When it was my turn, instead of shaking my hand, she hugged me.

"Uh, hi. Nice to meet you! My name is Haylee."

"I'm Ambahr."

"Alright! Everyone on set in 10!"

Carlos, Candice and Danielle's eyes widened as they made a beeline towards their trailers. We chuckled as Grant left to his trailer, Haylee right behind him.

For some reason, I felt jealousy.

Andrew approached me as I smiled.

"Hey, Ambahr. So I know you've only been here for a couple weeks, but I wanted to know if you would like to be in this season?"

"I would love to!"

Andrew showed me a cute little room where a stylist was now waiting and racks of clothing were aligned along the walls.

"Hi! My name is Zoë, and I am going to be your stylist!"

Before leaving, I was handed a script, where my lines were now as I scanned them. I realized, I was going to be in more than a couple scenes.

My outfit was a black shirt, which was torn and had stains on it (makeup, of course!) , jeans that were torn also and black converse. My character was supposed to be related to Danielle's, but the other characters didn't know. I read over my lines variously as Carlos came over to help me.

"Woah! What happened?"

I stayed quiet, letting him get the picture as to why I was dressed up like this.

"Wait, were you just offered a job?"

I nodded, smiling as Carlos embraced me in a small hug, not letting my clothes get his dirty.

"Need help with your lines?"

We rehearsed them until it was time for them to go on set. Until, it was my scene.

"Are you ready? Don't worry if you don't get it right the first time. Just do your best."

The scene was supposed to be in Zoom's lair. I was chained in a cage next to Violett, who was playing Jesse Quick. Zoë quickly came over to me, dripping a little blood on my temple as she smudged my makeup more.

"And... Action!"

Zoom came into the room, as Jesse whimpered. I shook my wrists, my character trying to break free as Zoom looked over at me. My eyes widened as I noticed him, shaking my head. He smirked, turning to Jesse before speeding in front of her cage. Jesse backed away, terrified as she began to sob.

"They won't find you here."

"No ... no! They're coming for you, Jesse! Don't listen to him!"

Zoom grabbed me by the neck, as there was a suspension line attached to my waist, so it seemed like he was actually lifting me up.

"No one knows you are here. You aren't getting out either."

My character was supposed to go limp as Zoom choked me so I stopped moving, as he let me down. Laying on the floor, I heard the rest of the lines were being said before Zoom had left.

"Scarlett?"

Jesse was whispering from the next cell as I stayed still, the director finally shouting, "Cut!"

I stood up, and smiled at Violett, who was surrounded by makeup artists. Zoë came over to me and started to add some more fake blood on my arms. The next scene was supposed to be that my character was escaping Zoom's lair, but had somehow gotten lost in another earth. (Earth-1 , bingo!)

"Alright, 5 minute break, everyone."

Danielle walked over to me as she handed me a cup of coffee. I thanked her as I noticed Grant was walking over along with Candice and Tom.

"That was good!"

"Thanks."

"Yeah, you killed it! Being your first time and all!"

"Thank you.. honestly, I was nervous."

Zoë was now behind me, cutting up a part of the shirt I was wearing and adding a big gash. I could feel the brush as it swiftly moved over my skin, adding layers and layers of makeup.

"Dude, that looks so real."

Carlos was now looking at the new wound, as I handed him my phone. He quickly took a picture as I continued talking to the rest of the crew, before Andrew called us to our next scene.
