"boo!" eliza shouted at thomas who was sitting on the bench looking at the sky. "you okay?"

he turned his head finally acknowledging his sister. "hm, uh, yeah course i'm okay"

eliza slowly nodded her head sitting on the bench next to her brother. "is everything okay between you and ziggy?"

she widened her eyes not sure how to answer the question since thomas was dating ziggy's sister. "yeah, i mean as good as it can get when ziggy is going through shit with her family"

thomas rubbed his hands together. "suppose so, cindy is the same. she says she tries her best but ziggy goes of on one..and speaking of ziggy going of on one" he said reffering to the fact two of the goodes were marching over to her.

"eliza get your ass to ziggy now! will isn't happy" nick goode said. "okay! jeez calm yourself"

she hopped off the bench running to find ziggy. when she did find her, she was tied to the tree by rope and sheila and her gang were in front.

"you gotta be shitting me" she muttured under her breath.

the closer she got the closer she realised sheila had a lighter that she flicked on. eliza ran quicker to ziggy than ever before.

"sheila stop being a bitch and put the lighter down!" she instructed. eliza was now a few inches away from sheila.."yeah, and what are you gonna do about it you fag" eliza wasn't quite sure what made her get so pissed at sheila. she didn't know if it was when sheila challenged her to try and stop sheila or when she called her a fag.

whatever it was made eliza punch sheila to the ground dropping the lighter. "if you stand up i'll punch you again, asshole"

"let her down will or i'll tell mom" nick said to his brother. the good ol' i'll tell mom on you card. never worked for eliza or thomas but lily it worked.

will stormed over and un-did the rope making ziggy drop to the ground. kurt made everyone stand in a line and told them to explain how everyone got in this situation.

"i went back to my cabin and the door was open. all my money was gone and ziggy was sprinting away" sheila told kurt.

"yeah! cause you were chasing me-"

"you talk when i tell you to talk" kurt said to ziggy.  "did you see her take it?" nick asked trying to see if there was a way for ziggy to get away with it.

"everyone did"

kurt put his whistle back on. "alright berman, five strikes you're out!"

"i'm out? they just tried to murder me"

"yeah, and i'll deal with them but first get back to camp and call mommy because you're done at camp nightwing"

eliza scoffed at what he said. "i may not be a counselor but you know what i am? a tattle tale. i'll simple to the head that ziggy was kicked out with a burn mark and then you'll be out quicker than you can say sorry"

"you're bluffing" kurt said.

"it doesn't matter if she's bluffing or not because i didn't do it!" ziggy snapped back.

"oh yeah? just like you didn't set the camp flag on fire, or let out the camp rabbits, or graffiti the outhouse stalls. i warned you-"

"kurt, it's not her fault" sheila interupted. ziggy widened her eyes in confusion. "she's possessed by sarah fier"

ziggy launched herself ready to hit sheila but nick and eliza held her back. "look, kurt, if we kick her out someone will notice the burn on her arm. why don't we just let this one slide" nick said, stilm holding ziggy back.

"fine, one more strike and you're out for real this time" will said. "being bossed around by a goode. wow, some thing never change" ziggy muttured as she was let go from nick and eliza's grip.

ziggy took eliza's arm and they headed back to camp even though they both knew nick was following them. "hey, have nurse lane check that burn out,"

"no, i think i'm gonna let it get infected and die"

eliza furrowed her eyebrows, "you better not"

nick still continued to follow them, "what do you want?" eliza finally asked him. "don't i get a thank you? i saved you, ziggy"

"oh!" ziggy started. "i'm sorry, i forgot. thank you! king of sunnyvale, future police cheif nick goode, for rescuing poor helpless shadysider like me. how could i ever repay you? oh..i could bat my eyes at you, like all the other dumbass girls"

ziggy put her middle finger up at nick and took hold of eliza. they walked through the fields noticing people handing out coloured t-shirt for colour war. they both headed to nurse lane's shack.

ziggy called out for her. "nurse lane? hello! i'm in trouble again help,"

nothing.

"nurse lane, come on! i could die any minute now" once again nothing.

the quietmess put goosebumps all over eliza's body. "come on ziggy, she's obviously not here. let's go"

nurse lane was no where to be seen but a door was open, ziggy walked over to the door and pushed it open seeing a book on her desk. suddenly, nurse lane appeared behind the girls.

"what are you doing here?" nurse lane asked. ziggy and eliza jumped back, "nurse lane, you scared the shit out of me. are you okay?" nurse lane nodded but the girls heard her sniffle. she noticed the burn on ziggy's arm.

"oh my goodness..ziggy,ziggy,ziggy. what did we do now?"

nurse lane got a bandage and some supplies. "you're gonna apply this once a day for three days, okay? it's gonna protect against infection"

she applied the vaseline like cream on the burn, eliza sat herself next to ziggy. she needed to tell her something but she didn't know how ziggy was going to react.

"so,um..what's the witches mark?" ziggy asked nurse lane, reffering to what she had seen in nurse lane's book. nurse lane looked down putting the lid back down onto the cream.

"you know about my daughter, right? ruby lane"

"i don't-"

"of course you do. everybody talks, i know. tell me what do they say?" ziggy and eliza looked at each other for a breif moment. "they, uh, say she killed people, at a party, seven friends"

"eight," nurse lane interupted. "she killed herself too that night, so eight"

eliza used to know ruby lane, as a matter of fact she was friends with her until they fell out of touch. she felt guilt for not being there for ruby so maybe that's

why she is so close to her mother. guilt seemed to do a lot of things, like hiding away or hiding part of yourself you feel guilty about.

"ruby was a sweet girl. oh, she had a sweet voice. she was in choir, she wanted to be a singer. i was so proud of her, so proud"

nurse lane reached for a bandage to wrap around zigy's burn."the doctors say it was a psychotic episode,that she just snapped. but the kids..the kids say Sarah Feir made her do it" nurse lane said, wrapping the bandage over and over again but it got a little tight on ziggy's arm.

"that's a little tight," ziggy told nurse lane, but she wasn't listening. "what do you think" she asked ziggy. "i don't" 

"cause i think you don't go from being a sweet girl with dreams, to ripping someone's insides out with a switchblade"

"nurse lane!"

eliza didn't know what to do and neither did ziggy. "people usally kill for a reason, and sometimes that reason is justified. sometimes killing isn't murder, sometimes it's necessary. sometimes it is good"

eliza clapped her hands together loudly, "nurse lane!" she shouted. nurse lane finally snapped out of whatever phase she was in, "once a day for three days, okay"

the bells rang from the shack and a girl walked in, "hi nurse lane!" 

"hi cindy," ziggy stood up from the bed she was sat on. 

"ziggy, elizabeth"

she hated that name, her father gave her that name and what did he do? he left as soon as she was born because apparently her father had a buisness trip which sooned turned into a buissness trip that lasted nearly 17 years. eliza wished she could see her dad one more time to ask him why he left, maybe she wold get that opportunity sooner than she thought.

"hey zig, listen i'm gonna go find my brother" eliza said, ziggy waved goodbye as eliza sent a small smile to cindy and then left to go find tommy. from the corner of her eyes she swore she saw lily watching her but when she went to have a look she wasn't there.
