“Mom, where’d you go? Please don’t leave me behind,” said Madelyn.
Zach looked at the scene before him. It seemed he was witnessing a Madelyn who had already gonemad. His imposing figure loomed over her as he slowly approached. “Why are you kneeling on theground? Get up.”
“What are you here for? You scared my mom away,” Madelyn said calmly.
Zach pulled her up with one swift motion. “Take a good look. There’s no one else in this room besidesyou and me.”
“You’re talking nonsense. I clearly saw my mom. She talked to me a lot. She said that if I’m tired, she’lltake me away from here. It’s all because of you. It’s all your fault! You drove my mom away! Why’d youcome in?”

Zach wore a black shirt, but he could feel warmth and a piercing pain on his shoulder. They remainedin that position for over ten minutes before Zach turned his head and asked, “Had enough?” Hisprofound gaze carried an emotion different from
before.
Madelyn pushed him away. She lowered her head, and her tousled long hair covered her face. After along pause, she found her voice again, “T’in sorry, I’m sick. It wasn’t intentional.”
Madelyn did nothing wrong but was the first to apologize. She continued, “Try to stay away from me inthe future. Maybe I’ll suffer a little less that way and have less dark thoughts. You should apply somemedicine on your own. I’m tired, I want to rest for a while.”
Zach watched as she transformed back into her calm, non-angry demeanor. She wiped the tears fromher face and stepped onto the bed with her bare feet before crawling under the covers and hidingherself away.
‘I acted so crazily against him and even bit him. Will he find a way to retaliate? Forget it. I’m already inthis state. How much worse can it get?’
Zach removed all the furniture blocking the door and carefully closed it behind him as he left.
Jadie approached with concern. She looked into the room but could not see anything except darkness.“Zach, is Madelyn okay? I heard some noise just now. Did you two fight?”
