The kids flinched and stared at each other as hesitation filled their eyes. They did not want to follow a woman who can kill without even touching the body. What if she was worse than the men who had kidnapped them.
But when everyone was facing confusion and anxiety. A few kids came out from the crowd and ran towards Hazel.
Wrapping their tiny hands around her waist they tried to get some comfort but they did not realize that they were the one who comforted her.
Hazel was unsure what had happened but the uncertainty had scared her. She had tried every possible reason to find how the body ended up into pieces but no matter what excuses she made, she knew that it was not the case.
The kids would never accept her in fact, she was not able to accept herself. So, when the kids hugged her and their fast breathes started to relax, she found herself leaving the breath she did not know she was holding since the start.
