Mary was walking home through the streets of the town

A group of older kids snickered as she passed them.

“Watch this” Was all Mary heard before she was pushed into a muddy puddle

Mary cried as she frantically tried to wipe the mud off her face

“Aw look it's crying” One of the older boys mockingly said
“How pathetic,” Another one said

“Don’t wipe it off, you looked better when we couldn’t see your ugly face-”

Before the boy could finish his sentence he was suddenly tackled to the ground by another kid

The other kids watched in horror as their friend got his face punched in and got thrown around like a ragdoll, the kid’s face was unrecognizable by the end of it
 
His friends helped him get up and scurried away to their houses, avoiding your glare

“Hey bud, are you alright?” You asked looking down at the trembling dirty girl

Mary only looked at you in awe, no one except her sisters had stood up for her like this

“You should go back home and wash up, it's getting late” You turned around, ready to go home

But before you could take a step a cold dirty hand grabbed your arm

“T-Thank you” Mary whispered before she ran off into the woods, disappearing through the bushes

You could only stand there and stare at the bushes that swayed in the wind, wondering, who that girl was

•Her sisters had multiple questions, "Why were you out so late?" "Why are you dirty?"

°She tells them EVERYTHING, Winnie has to yell at her to slow down

•Winifred is LIVID and Sarah wants to know more about the mysterious person

°"Do they look pretty?" "They sound like a hero!"

•Winnie rolls her eyes at her sister's question but is secretly interested

°"Let's go to sleep we'll talk about this later"

•Sarah is still flooding Mary with questions

°"Now"

•Sarah runs to the bed whispering a "goodnight" as she does

°Mary gathers some clothes and makes her way outside to take a bath
