A/n: I just wanted to say I own Ashley, Jessica, and Marcella.

Ch 3: She
Squid was sitting next to Ashley as they ate lunch.
"So. Why you here?" Squid asked.
"My three aunts sent me and my two sisters here. They didn't want us for the summer," Ashley said, taking a sip of water. "Why you here?"
"I...I robbed some houses," Squid said, avoiding Ashley's eyes. "Plus I've always been in trouble with the law. My mom's a drunk and my dad left when I was little." She smiled at him and shook her head.
"My mom died when I was three and my dad died when I was six. My family knew the Halliwells so I've lived with them since I was seven," Ashley said, putting her hand on Squid's. "So. I basically never knew them." She stared into his brown puppy dog eyes. "But I got three aunts so I guess I'm fine."
"You don't seem like a normal girl," Squid said. She looked away. "I'm not what you think." Squid put his hand on her face and made her look at him. "What do you mean?"
"Never mind. We better get back to digging our holes," Ashley said. Squid stood up and stuck out his hand. She took it and pulled herself up. She smiled at him and headed back to her hole.
Ashley was sitting on the couch in the Wreck Room when Squid walked over to her. "How was your first hole?"
"Okay. It wasn't that hard."
"You only have to do that once a week. We have to do it every day," X-Ray said. Ashley's cell phone went off and she answered it. She walked out of the Rec room and she said hello.
"Hey Ashley. How are you?" Leo asked.
"Good. You?" Ashley asked, smiling. She couldn't be mad at Leo or Cole because they wanted Ashley, Marcella, and Jessica to come with them to Europe. Now Richard was a different story. She hated him for some reason.
"I'm good. We're in Italy right now. Do you want any thing from there? I know how much you love it," Leo said.
"Nah," Ashley said. Leo protested. "I'm not leaving without getting you anything. I got Marcella something from Germany and Jessica something from France. Do you want one of those weird masks? I know how much you love them."
"Fine," she said. Leo said good bye and hung up.
"A friend of yours?" Squid asked. Ashley smiled at him. There was just something about him that she liked. Maybe it was the whole bad boy thing. Maybe it was just his attitude towards her. "My uncle." Squid nodded and looked around nervously. "So..."
"Hey Squid. C'mon!" Zigzag called. Ashley smiled at Zigzag and waved. He smiled. Ashley turned back to Squid. "Go ahead. I'm gonna be hanging in the tent." She smiled at him, then walked off to the tent. He sighed and went back into the Rec Room.
Ashley felt some one shaking her shoulder. She opened her eyes to see Squid kneeling next to her.
"What time is it?" She asked, sitting up.
"Supper," Squid said, smiling. Ashley smiled at him. She got up and they headed out of the tent together.
"I see you didn't have you knife with you," Squid said, smiling.
"Ya. It's in my bag," Ashley said. "I decided not to carry it with me." Squid nodded but asked, "Why?"
"If I had to use it, some stupid camper would see I have it, then steal it, then I get in big trouble," Ashley said.
"Oh."
"So..."
"So..." They entered the mess hall, got their supper, then sat down on the table.
"How was your first hole?" Magnet asked.
"Pretty easy," Ashley said.
"I mean you finished before Caveman. I thought you would be out there all night," Zigzag said.
"Well, I wasn't was I?" Ashley asked.
"This place is so boring!" Jessica whined.
"You just figured that out?" Marcella asked, raising her eyebrows.
"I tell ya, Cell. You shouldn't have dropped her on her head!" Ashley said.
"Well. Ashley. I've noticed that you've been avoiding her all your life. I wonder why?" Marcella snapped. Ashley looked up at Marcella, threw down her fork, and then walked out.
"Why has she been avoiding me all her life?" Jessica asked.
"That's something she needs to tell you," Marcella said as Squid got up and ran after Ashley. He caught up with her before she got into the tent.
"What's up?" he asked.
"Nothing," Ashley said. He grabbed her wrist and she turned around. "What did Marcella mean?"
"I don't know," Ashley said, pulling her wrist from his grasp. So he grabbed her waist and turned her around. "You suck at lying, did you know that?" He asked.
"I don't want to talk about it, okay?" Ashley said.
"Not okay. I like you Ashley but I feel like you're keeping something from me!" Squid said.
"I don't want to talk about!" Ashley said, pushing his hands off her hips.
"Why not?" Squid persisted.
"You wouldn't understand!"
"Why wouldn't I?" Squid asked but Ashley shook her head. "Last time I said a word, the person freaked out. No one understands!" Squid placed his hand gently on Ashley's face. "Please?" He leaned in and kissed her softly. After he pulled away he asked, "What wouldn't I understand?"
"I can't tell you Squid," Ashley said, taking his hand off her face and holding it in hers. He pulled his hand away. Ashley looked at the ground then back at him. "I like you Squid, a lot."
"I guess not enough to trust me," Squid said before walking off. She watched him walk back to the mess hall. Silent tears ran down her cheeks as she walked into her tent.
What should I do? She thought, I can't just tell him I'm part demon part witch. How would he react? She kept running that thought through her head as she climbed under her cover. She kept thinking that until she cried herself to sleep.
She screams in silence
A suller riot penetrating
Through her mind
Waiting for a sign to smash the silence
With the brick of self control
Are you locked up in a world?
That's been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
Screaming at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you
She's figured out all her doubts were someone else's
Point of view
Waking up this time to smash the silence with the brick of self-control

A/n: I hope you like it. I own Jessica and Marcella but no one else. And I'll probably be adding some witchcraft in, like spells!
