Lita stands shakily, her mind racing. Who would want me dead? I barely know anyone outside of school. And my family, well, they're muggles. There's only been one witch in my family, but she died ages ago, and I never told anyone. . . She looked at Xavier, who had tried to protect her from Jasmine, the blood on his shirt reminds her that he got hurt in the process. You got hurt, I'm sorry. I wish you hadn't been dragged into this. She looks over at Jasmine, who is still sitting where she fell, tears streaming from her eyes. Lita moved towards her friend, but Xavier put out a hand to stop her. She looked back at him and their eyes met. He didn't have to speak his concerns, she already knew. I don't know if its safe. Whoever's possessing her could gain control again. But, I can't just leave her there like that. . . As she stands there, Lita slowly begins to realize that something's wrong. Something's missing . . . but what is it? She turns and looks toward the garden, what she sees, fills her with fear. The garden is just about empty. She watches the last group walk slowly, mindlessly into the forbidden forest. Look! They've gone into the forest. Why would anyone go into the forest after all that's happened? Lita doesn't have to guess the answer, but she refuses to believe it. Right now, she has little to hold on to, so she's determined to cling to every bit of hope there is.
