"W-When we were done in the lake about leaving..." she began sobbing. "She decided to stay back to continue bathing, she said she would return before we knew it... we agreed, and then we left" Her breath quickened, becoming unsteady.
My still eyes remained on the cloth she held, a harsh feeling overwhelmed my body that I was unable to contain, I felt suffocating on what I was about to hear.
"I did not see her return last night. I was so worried so I and the others decided to check her by the lake and then we... we... we saw" she broke into more tears.
My trembling hand took the cloth from her leisurely, I brought it to my chest, my vision became blurry, a cluster of tears forged within my eyes, my insides twisting and turning and my body felt weak like I had been slammed by a mountain.
"I'm so sorry my lady, what we saw... what she saw was nothing but blood and this piece of cloth, a wild animal must have gotten to her in the night"
