"It's not your fault, Jasmine!" Wendy said, silently louder than she perhaps should have. "You had the best intentions. Nobody wanted for this to happen."
She started to sob, and fell on her friend's shoulder.
"Nothing is going to happen to her, is it?" she added, in voice much desperate than the one she had just two minutes earlier. She was trembling, scared for Melody. What her friend did was foolish, it was obvious, but she still cared for her.
"Damn world!"
Wendy knew her intuition wouldn't fail her. She felt something wouldn't go right. She just did, but she tried not to show it... right then, she wished she did. If they hadn't come here, none of this would have happened.
In the meantime, Melody was running as fast as she could, but using the last bits of her energy. She was crying loudly, shivering. She was used to being humiliated, she was humiliated at home almost everyday. Kids were making fun of her for her weird "fish-talking" abilities, and all. But still, this felt different. This was something she could control. She so much wanted to prove worthy just once.
She could hear the voice of Shanti's in the distance, but she was glad she couldn't reach her. She just needed to be alone. Standing there, in the thick woods, she was. She sat on the small branch and closed her eyes, at the same time hoping to be and not to be found.
