Author's Note: I'm hoping you're all liking this story! I had an idea for a new story-this time with young Frieda meeting young Zoe back when Frieda was first in max. What do you think? Doable?

Drop a PM if you want a story involving young Frieda and young Zoe!

" You'll do what?" a voice exclaimed from the doorway and Julie whirled around, her heart in her throat.

It was Zoe.

" Frieda, are you all right?" Zoe asked as she walked over to her wife. Frieda looked dazed.

" I'm fine," she said and Zoe glared at Julie.

" Just what do you think you're doing in our cell?" she demanded the younger woman. " Can't you see Frieda is still recovering? She needs her rest!"

" I-"

" And I just heard you threaten me," Zoe's eyes narrowed, " You said something about killing me and making Frieda watch while you do it? What is this? Revenge because Frieda doesn't return your feelings the way you want her to?"

Julie glared at Zoe then glanced at Frieda, " Tell her. Or I will."

Frieda's face went white, " I, uh-"

" Fine. A while ago, we kissed, Frieda and me," Julie said, smiling smugly, then described the events that happened a few days ago. Then she also described her passionate moment with Frieda-every last detail. " Frieda enjoyed it," she said, " Didn't you Frieda?"

Zoe looked furious and Julie was elated. She was close to breaking them up and Frieda will be hers.

" That-that never happened," Frieda spluttered and turned to Zoe, " Zoe, you have to believe me. I'd never cheat on you."

" Frieda, I believe you," Zoe said softly and Julie was shocked. She expected Frieda to deny it but never thought Zoe would believe her!

" You two are supposed to be in love," Julie said coldly, " But people in love aren't supposed to cheat on each other. And that's what you did Frieda. You cheated on your wife. You know it and I know it."

" Julie, you remember what happened to Sarah don't you?" Zoe asked suddenly.

" Crazy Sarah? Sure. But what does she have to do with anything?"

" She killed the Dennings…or rather, everyone thinks she killed the Dennings."

" Zoe, " Frieda warned.

" It's okay-I know what I'm doing," Zoe assured Frieda and turned back to Julie. She grabbed Julie's arm and twisted it behind her back and pressed a shiv against her throat. Julie had heard stories about Zoe and how you shouldn't mess with her and not be on her bad side, but Julie never believed them. Until now.

" What are you saying?" Julie asked.

" I killed the Dennings," Zoe answered.

" Sarah took the fall for you?" Julie whispered, " You sent to her the nut house?"

Zoe nodded, " Here's what you're going to do. You're going to leave my wife alone…if you don't, you just might end up like Sarah."

" You've got nothing on me," Julie said defiantly as she struggled but for an older woman, Zoe was much stronger than she looked.

" I know quite a few things about you Julie Newman and one of them being why you were incarcerated in the first place," the shiv pressed harder into her skin, " You were obsessed with your brother's fiancée-and when she didn't return your feelings, you killed her. Then you killed her family."

" How did you know?" Julie asked.

" I asked around," Zoe released Julie then and pocketed her shiv, " So do you agree? Leave my wife alone and we'll forget this ever happened?"

" But she cheated on you!" Julie protested desperately one more time.

" Just get out and leave us alone." Zoe snapped, " And you're lucky I won't go to the CO's about your little threats to Frieda."

Julie ran off. Zoe turned back to Frieda. " Let's get you back to bed. You can barely stand." She said, helping her back to bed.

" Is it true about Julie?"

" Yes its' true. Suzanne told me." Zoe replied, " Don't worry. Julie will leave you alone after today."

" I guess after being with me for so long, you've learned a few tricks." Frieda said ruefully as she leaned over to kiss her wife. The pills were still working and she was so drowsy and groggy. Zoe grabbed her blanket and covered Frieda with it.

" I won't be far-I'll make sure no one bugs you," Zoe assured her and Frieda fell asleep quickly.

Once she made sure Frieda was sleeping deeply, Zoe got up and hurried over to Julie's cell. Julie was lying on her bottom bunk, eyes closed. Zoe glanced over her shoulder as she entered the cell and leaned over Julie. Julie's eyes flew open and she gasped but Zoe clapped a hand over Julie's mouth before she utter another sound. Julie's eyes were red-rimmed and puffy-it was obvious she'd been crying.

" You are going to do something for me Julie," Zoe whispered, her dark brown eyes glittering menacingly, " This is your chance for redemption."

Julie stared up at Zoe, her expression frightened. The older woman was truly scary when she was angry.

Zoe took her hand away, " What do you want me to do?" Julie asked her voice trembling.

Frieda slept all afternoon and right through the night. She woke up early the following morning feeling much better. The pain was less now and she was supposed to be getting her stitches out in a couple of days. She climbed out of bed and noticed Zoe's bed was empty and was made. Frieda got dressed and collected her shower caddy. She was desperate to have a shower, she'd see Zoe in a little while.

Half an hour later, Frieda returned back to the cell, feeling more refreshed. She had managed to change the bandage on her own.

" Morning," a voice greeted her cheerfully, " It's good to see you up and about."

Frieda turned and smiled. She opened her arms and Zoe walked into them for a tight embrace before Frieda bought her mouth down onto hers for a long passionate kiss.

" I've missed you," Zoe murmured.

" I've missed you too," Frieda replied and heard someone clear their throat outside their cell. They jumped apart guiltily and looked up. It was CO Copeland.

" I see you're feeling better Berlin," Copeland said as Frieda sat down on her bed.

Frieda just smiled and nodded when Copeland's CB radio came to life, " We need assistance in Block D. I repeat, we need assistance ASAP in Block D."

" What is it about?" Copeland asked.

" Inmate Laura Cortez is dead." The voice over the radio said and Frieda's eyes went wide. Laura, the same Laura she met at medical? The same Laura Zoe once knew?

Copeland hurried away and Frieda watched her wife with narrowed eyes. She couldn't help but feel slightly suspicious. Laura turns up dead a few days after asking her wife about her?

Did Zoe kill Laura? And why?
