Chapter 2 - Chapter one August 10, pinesville Pines forest

Amara!, Amara!!, Amara!!!," Jeanne called the third time irritated at her friend, sometimes when amara saw something new she was like this she didn' hear or see anyone anymore her whole self was concentrated on the object of her attention "Amara" she called again trying to make her budge she looked up over her shoulder with her eyebrows drawn together in concentrationwhat jeanne?" Amara asked her bestfriend in the whole wide world.

Jeanne sighed and tells her "you can't lean I've like that, you might fall over ", she says very primly she always talks prim and properly Amara thought , " really?" Amara asked wide eyed with false innocence she wondered what she would do if she just jumped into

the small stream they were currently standing beside although they were not supposed to be there at all but they always passed through the forest on the way home from school just like they always did since they became friend she bet all her summer collection of Taylor swift album that she'd have a heart attack, just like poor miss gunther the lunch lady at school had when she told her to cover up her breast during lunch break instead she said grining, " look Jeanne pretty bubbles" she pointed out to what had caught her attention " really? ", Jeanne asked fearfull.,

Then she moved closer to Amara and looked into the water she smiled "Amara its beautiful "she looked up at her Amara also raised her head and

looked at Jeanne in that moment both had the same thought "I want to be friend's with her forever"both looked into the water and screamed, startled, they both jumpedback from the edge of the river

Amara was the first to recover "did you see that?" she asked jeanne she nodded fearfully frightened of what had seen, Amara stood up to go, wanting to look in the river "Amara! " Jeanne whispered urgently "come back

Please Amara, am scared " amara smiled at Jeanne "its okay jeannie come on" she stood up and went back to the edge of the river and looked into it again tilting her head amara looked back and, smiled at Jeanne "its okay come look" "at first it looks like someone is reaching out but its just a doll" she told Jeanne "see her legs are short" she pointed out "yeah! " Jeanne said her voice exited "I see it " then both burst out laughing at the same time "bring it out Amara let's see". Okay she put her hand into the water and took hold of the dolls hand somehow it felt like a while lot of things happened at once she felt this great sorrow, sadness and pain all on one then she was drawing the hand out and it disappeared she brought Out the doll and they both got a look at it " it looks sad" Jeanne said "really sad", "yeah" Amara agreed "let's keep it and make it happy" she suggested "no amara we aren't supposed to take it its not ours" amara thought of it for a second then said "well how about we take it to school tomorrow and try to find the owner", "I don't know " Jeanne said skeptical "what's gonna happen if our parents find out" she said "I don't wanna be in trouble I still need mama to buy me that book" amara thought of it again "let me take it home then I can bring it to school tomorrow ", "deal? " Jeanne asked "deal" amara replied and both burst into laughter "come on before we get too late".

Hand in hand both set off home
