Nancy violently beat her own legs, tears falling like broken beads: "I hate, I hate! I hate myself for being disabled! Hate that this crippled body isn't worthy of standing beside him. I hate, I really hate!"
She fiercely raised her head, "...so I wish you were dead!"
Nancy... Tara Summer froze completely, watching as Nancy continued to pummel her own legs. She put in so much strength, her tear-streaked face was an exquisite blur.
"Why doesn't it hurt, why doesn't it hurt!? I, Nancy Yancey, I'm useless!" She pounded fist after fist, but felt nothing. Finally she wailed and wept, "Useless!..."
"Miss Nancy..."
"Miss Nancy!" Snow Eagle and Aunt King squatted down, each from a side, grabbing her hands to prevent her from hurting herself further.
"Miss Nancy, don't be like this, please don't!" Snow Eagle pleaded, eyes tinged red, his face full of heartache.
