"If this ever happens again, you two will be separated and punished sternly." The warden stood glaring at Ash and Zigzag, her red hair was a mess and she had wrapped herself in a robe, her arms folded over her chest.
"I've talked to you once already about this Zigzag, and Ash I'm just disgusted with your behavior. I don't want this to ever happen again, or Ash will not only go to a different tent, she will get sent to another camp."

Zigzag was terrified to death. He didn't want Ash to leave, no one did. Even though his knees were weak, his heart in his throat, and his hands feeling sweaty all from fear he nodded coolly as the warden spoke. Mumbling his pitiful apology he looked at Ash, her head hung low and her hair clinging to her face.

"I'm…so sorry ma'am." Ash choked out, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"It will never happen again. I'm so ashamed of myself." Ash was sobbing now, her hands covering her face.

The warden looked surprised, and walked to Ash putting her hand on Ash's back.

"I'm never going to do something so stupid like that again! I'm such a disgrace!"

The warden handed her a tissue, flinching as Ash blew her nose loudly. "Thank you so much, you merciful woman for giving me a second chance!" Ash said as her and Zigzag left the office.

The Warden shook her head slamming the door to the cabin shut.

As the two walked away from the cabin Ash's crying still had not ceased, it had only gotten worse.

"Ash are you alright?" Zigzag asked putting his arm around her.

"No! I'm so sorry, I'll never be as sorry for anything as I am now!" Ash sobbed louder, tears flooding her eyes; her cheeks were covered in tears.

"I'm so regretful for getting you in trouble like that. I regret ever being born!" Ash cried out, turning to face Zigzag as the two stopped walking.

"How can you ever forgive me?" she collapsed into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably, her face pressed into his orange suit.

"Ash, calm down, don't say stuff like that!" Zigzag wrapped his arms around her, holding her as she cried. "I'm the one that should be sorry, not you. Be happy the Warden didn't send you to a different camp. It's okay, shh."

Ash looked up at him, the tears had stopped, but her eyes were red from crying. A big grin suddenly slid onto her lips.

"Gotcha."

Zigzag looked stunned for a second, as Ash started heading to the digging site where everyone was, impatiently waiting to hear what would be happening to Ash and Zigzag. He quickly shook it off, laughing and ran after her.
