Muriel just held onto me as I freaked out. Hugging me tight. Crying and wanting to go see them were was nothing I could do. Being in the school for only a little over a year wasn't enough to help me protect them. After a little while, I went back to the dorms. An excuse for why my eyes were red and where I went. But they didn't ask or even look up as I entered the room.
Dear Mom,
Please tell me you and Dad are okay. Tell me how no one is hurt and is happy. Is brother okay too? I heard from someone at school that there is a witch hunt going on. If you have to, please say you don't know me. I know I can always come home to you.
Have you heard from Abby's mom? I'm worried about them. Abby can't move and I never got a response to the letters I sent… You've never responded either.
Are you okay? What's happening at home? Please send a letter back this time. I'm scared.
