I saw them leave, the three of them. I also saw....Trevor. How can that be possible? I saw him die right in front of me. Eliza and Anandy were dragging an exhausted girl behind them, she could be no more than 17 at the most.
"Eliza, take Melody and run as fst as you can!" Anandy yelled over the wind.
"Anandy, what are you doing." Eliza screamed as her bast friend ran back to the lodge. She already knew the question as did I.
Still Eliza didn't stop, She ran on instinct. Her instinct to protect kept her holding on to melody and her instinct to live stopped her from going after Anandy.
Like the dark of the night sky i slipped from behind my hiding tree and raced after Anandy.
"NO!"
I ignored the protest and calmly walked onto the porch.
"You promised no more killing. You promised."
I turned to young Simon, "I'm just helping an old friend."
"She wants to die. Anandy does. Its her way of making it up to Eliza."
I smelt smoke and realized, to late, that the lodge was on fire. Anandy was somewhere in there crying, could i let die, after all she did for Simon. Or sould i go after i go after Eliza? Then there Trevor to think about, his reign of terror will not stop till he gets what he wants or dies...again.
"Saiya...."
I looked at Simon, only a 11 year old boy, and saw his wisdom and knew my choice.
