Mara stumbled to a stop, aware of the young man and his concern--and Orrie, thinking this was all a game, making a barking streak down the beach toward her. As her heartbeat slowed and she became more fully aware of her surroundings, she realized she was bare steps from the treeline.
/I ran toward the Jungle. Where THEY are. Oh my God. Why would I do that?/
She stood there panting, her eyes drying as she got her bearings.
/I just got too upset again, I guess./
"I'm sorry." She dipped her head, pale cheeks gleaming. "I wasn't looking where I was going. I just wanted to be somewhere that was away."
The two were still arguing. Harry was going to get hit. She squelched a stab of concern. /Let him. Stop caring so much for hateful people. You're not a martyr; you just had a demon try to turn you into one.
Sound of fist on flesh. She winced.
Then she rolled her eyes up to peek at Tommy. "Th-thank you for the warning."
