AUTHORS NOTE: Ah lost the motivation for this story but I shall work on it and bring it to a conclusion soon as you can guess. I doubt the characters of Ellie and Ellanna would be this bitchy to each other IRL but meh, I needed it to add something

DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything

[The New Plan]

The park was quiet and empty; the redhead sat on the bench with her laptop bag on her knees as she waited quietly for who she was waiting to. The snow was falling, her hands rubbing together to supply her with minimal heat. She knew that this was a stupid plan. How could she even think it was going to work? Why would the deranged killer want to talk to her, right?

However, she was prepared to be the new one delivering orders. She understood Chelle's desire to give them lives and she was going to make sure it happened to. Who said that she couldn't make it a suicide mission in the end? She'd dressed to impress like Chelle always did even though she was a little bit chunkier and she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket which she knew would be the girls wondering where she was.

She'd told them that she was going on a walk. She needed to think, clear her head a little bit because the smell of bleach and cleansing fluids still floated around the house reminding them that someone had been there while they'd slept. They'd tried to plead for her to stay in. They'd put a film on, splurge on popcorn and chocolate but she was adamant that she needed the moment alone and they'd stopped arguing knowing that she was stubborn.

No one had watched her grab hold of her laptop, her coat or anything as they'd been discussing her behaviour in the living room. She hadn't even called bye as she slipped out of the house, her finger pressing the button on her blackberry that would allow for her to phone who had text her the day that Chelle had died. She'd made her rules explicit and simple so that there was no messing about. The warm chuckle had made her nervous, her heart race as she waited for him to tell her to stop playing the hero but he had agreed with her that they needed to meet so that's why she was sat in the park at nearly midnight waiting to meet her best friend's killer.

"Hello Red," a warm voice said to her and she turned to look at him, her...

"This is a stupid idea," Ellie pointed out causing Ellanna to stop typing on the laptop, her arms crossed over her chest as she sat on the table staring down at Ellanna that had been typing with Leila's head resting on her shoulder. Her fingers stilled over the keys, her desire to continue writing pretty obvious but she could tell that Ellie wasn't ready to play the game.

"Okay, Miss Negative. Do you have a better plan?" She demanded and Ellie was well aware of the sarcasm in her voice causing her to glare down at her friend. They were all starting to snap at each other and even though there was no hatred behind the statements, you could sense that the two older ones were starting to lose it with each other.

"There's no need to get snappy, Ellanna. You know you're only being bitchy because I'm right."

"No. You're being bitchy because you think you're the next damned victim!" Ellanna pointed out causing even Leila to look up at her. "You know what, go home if you don't want to fix this because a couple of days ago we were all happy and I want this nut job away as much as you do!" She shouted angrily slamming the lid down on her laptop, her arms wrapping around her own chest as she decided to fight the urge to have a drink.

"That's totally unfair, Ellanna and you know it. I want this to end as much as you do but you're going about it the wrong way by making yourself the next Chelle!" She shouted back but Ellanna ignored her, her hands typing away again as she'd reopened the laptop and was determined this was the way it was going to go down. Ellie grabbed hold of the laptop, slamming the lid down onto Ellanna's hands. "You need to tell the detectives about this insane idea of yours."

"Well they'll just try and talk to us out of it too, Ellie. There is nothing that says you have to come too. In the story, I go alone and that's how it'll be played out. Last time, he was a step ahead of us and you know it so we play by the story."

"Ellanna, the guy was the one playing the strings! He was leading Chelle on! That's what DI Ross told us. Do you have selective hearing or something?" She demanded to know and Ellanna just glared at her.

"Move your hand, Ellie. I need to finish my chapter so if you don't mind," she said making it very obvious that she wasn't afraid to remove Ellie's hand herself she didn't do it. Ellie stared at her for another minute or so before removing her hand and jumped off the table as she headed out of the room.

"You're making a mistake, Ellanna and you'll be the one that suffers." She warned causing Ellanna to glare after her before she lifted the lid again and continued typing.

Stuart was sat at the office computer, typing up some case notes when it read in his inbox that he had a new email from the fanfiction website. He was only following one story and he didn't want to know what they'd done but he clicked it open to see that there was a new chapter. "Robbie," he called out clicking on the hyperlink and as Robbie ran over to him.

"What's up?"

"They've updated the..." he stopped talking as he read what they'd done and turned to look at Robbie who was now wearing the same expression.

"I'll bloody kill them myself," he said taking hold of Stuart's desk phone and dialled the house number, his hand motioning for Jackie that he needed them. "Don't go anywhere. We're coming over," he said as someone answered the phone, putting it back in his cradle. Jackie walked over to them and Robbie sighed, "Ellanna is apparently the new puppet master."

"What..." she started but followed Stuart's finger to the screen, her eyes widening as she sighed. "Let's go talk to our favourite girls."

"Which part of don't be martyrs are you struggling with?" Robbie demanded to know as Ellanna handed them a cup of coffee before sitting down next to Leila as she still was giving Ellie the cold shoulder. "I assume you wrote it, Ellanna?" He said suddenly and the oldest girl looked over at her, her head cocked to the side as she smiled.

"It needed to happen and you know it. Where you getting in the..." her blackberry vibrated and she picked it up from the table, her hand pressing buttons while the others all stared at her. "Well it seems us three finally got a lead." She slid the phone across to Robbie where a simple text read...

"IT'S A DATE..."

"No. I wanted nothing to do with this and you knew that," Ellie started but she could see that Ellanna was right. It was thanks to her stupidity that they might catch this guy. "You can't go alone."

"We need a rapport. In the story, he makes a friendship with Ellanna. Why would he hurt her?"

"He knows what we're up to," Leila pointed out and she couldn't help but look over at her. "We've already lost Chelle, Ellanna. What if we lose you too?" She asked and Ellanna reached out to pull her in for a hug. Robbie sighed as he looked over at Jackie.

"You get the one chance then next meet, we're there."
