Annalese opened her mouth to respond, but he had already ran away. She sighed, leaning against a tree to steady herself. Why didn't you just kill him? She scolded herself, looking after him with sad eyes.
Sighing, she went after him. Slowly, not nearly as fast as Zac. Reluctance slowed her steps until she saw him sleeping in the tree. With little effort, she jumped up the tree, quickly and silently swinging onto the branch next to his.
Watching him, Annalese felt sadness rise inside of her. I just ruined his life.
