Avery overheard Maya and Hayley talking behind the door.
âI donât think sheâs good enough.â Murmured Hayley sincerely.
âI agree, she would just slow us down,â agreed Maya with more confidence than Hayley.
Avery couldnât beleive her ears. She had thought these people were her friends. But apparently not. Well, then so be it! If they didnât need her, then she would just go and defeat Hayleyâs brother on her own. Thatâll show them!
She quickly and stealthily pack her things into a small bag. But just before she was about to leave, Fern whined.
âShhhh,â she said to the old and frail dog, âthe others will take care of you, donât worry.â
With one lays pat on Fernâs head, Avery left the camp. Never to be seen again.
