Calista finished talking and loosed her grip. Quincy felt her legs go weak and she collapsed onto the

Her face was all white, and when she looked back up at Calista, she suddenly felt fear in her heart.

She was still young and tender at eighteen, and even though her thick fringe covered half her face, she still looked fairly sweet.
