"Hold on dear, keep your eyes open" Nikki Alexander, chief of the local hospital, looked down at the shaking young girl, who looked on the verges of death. She lay on the floor where she had fallen, he eyes seeming to lose some of their light.
"Buffy" she seemed to be trying to whisper something but blood was trickling from her mouth making it near impossible to speak.
A sudden yell of "No" made Nikki look up and diving past the police barrier, a young blonde girl fell to her knees beside the girl and grabbed her hand, the other gently wiping the blood from her mouth.
Seeing the blonde girl, she gave her a limp smile, blood still pouring through her mouth.
"Buffy, I can feel it, I'm gonna die"
The young blonde girl, Buffy smiled even though tears streamed down her face.
"No, your not, you're going to be fine, what happened to your fresh start eh?"
The girl gave a bloody cough and smiled.
"Since when in my life, has anything ever gone right, nothing did until I met you, you helped me to sort my life out"
Nikki looked between them as she desperately tried to keep the girl, Shana alive.

Smiling up at Buffy, Shana coughed more violently this time.
"Thank you, for everything." she coughed once again. Shana looked into the green depths of Buffy's eyes as her vision narrowed and the darkness filled her mind.

Looking down into Shana's eyes Buffy watched as he friend took her final breaths, as her eyes turned glassy. In that moment, Buffy swore to herself she would find who did this and she would kill them. How dare they! Shana Williams, a kind mislead girl, so much life and so much to achieve, had it snatched away from her because of some petty gang trouble.
Leaning forward and kissing Shana's forehead, she looked down at her friend and gently closed her eyes before standing and running away.
Errol frowned, Shana was never late. It was always him; he was to busy following Levi and keeping him out of trouble. Turning to Levi, his younger brother looked at him in worry. A sudden scream made them both turn.
Running towards them was Kimberly, a young girl who lived on Shana's estate.
"Errol, its Shana she fell out of the spinner and hit the barrier, Errol its not looking good" Kimberly was sobbing. She and Shana had been good friends in the past.
Errol didn't need to hear anymore, he ran into the fair, looking around franticly for the spinner or any sign of flashing lights. Seeing a blue flickering light and hearing screams, he ran forward and saw a huge crowd of people, some sobbing or others looking sick. Pushing roughly through the crowd, Errol saw the body bag, skidding to a stop, he didn't need to ask if it was her, he already knew, tears blurred his vision and he felt himself sink to the floor but a hand on his shoulder made him look up and above him looked a very livid Keenan.

A loud knock on the front door made Father David sign.
"I'll get it dear" he shouted to his wife who had just gone to bad for her evening nap.
Opening the door 2 police men stood before him.
"Are you David Williams?" asked the younger of the 2.
"Yes, I am, what is this about? Oh I know, what's Shana done this time?"
"Mr Williams, I'm afraid your daughter died this evening. She fell from a ride at the fair and was killed. I'm sorry for your loss"
David's mind froze. Dead. His youngest child was gone, holding onto the doorframe with all of his might. He thought back to the last couple of years and how he had treated her. As though she wasn't welcome, they all had. He was never going to see her again, never going to get the chance to apologise and never to see her beautiful face again. David Williams fell to the floor and wept.
