“I.. owe you?” Alice asked, looking at Ashleigh with visible confusion.
“I saved your life at the lab and with the Dark Queen,” Ashleigh stated. “So help me. Take me to Spring.”
Alice pursed her lips and closed her eyes. She took a slow deep breath through her nose and let it back out.
“If you want to get down and dirty. Count up our tabs to see who really owes who. We can do that….” Alice said. “But let me make myself perfectly clear. I am not taking you to Spring.”
Ashleigh gritted her teeth angrily. She should have known it was no use asking Alice for help. She didn’t give a damn about Caleb.
“Fine,” Ashleigh said. “I will find someone else. You’re not the only person that has ever snuck in and out of Spring.”
“No, but I am probably one of the only ones still living,” Alice replied. “And I am certainly the only one here in Winter.”
“Then I’ll just get a scout to get me in and go on my own from there,” Ashleigh sighed.
“You’ll get yourself killed if you do that.”
