    "Heh, you sound just like Mrs. Wolf, she was my professor in university." Mr. Butler chuckled. "That's very nice of you, Mr. Butler. Mrs. Wolf is indeed wise, and reminding someone such as myself of her is splendid." Charlotte smiled. "Aren't we meant to get the kids' items ready?" Mr. Butler quickly gets up, heads north, and is never seen again. Charlotte checks the time on the clock, which reads 7:32 AM. She hears footsteps coming from the second floor and waits until she meets Freddy Fox. "Hello Freddy! How did you sleep?" "Enough, how are you, Ms. Sheep?" 'He's a polite lad.' Thought Charlotte, "Good, thank you. I want to have a chat with you, if you don't mind." " Sure!" Freddy replied, "You know about Wendy, right? What is she to you?" "Well, we are classmates, but I don't think anything of her." Charlotte understood now that Suzy was getting into a love-life matter that she wasn't even aware of. "Alright, that explains her strange behaviour, what about Suzy? How would you describe her?" Freddy hesitated at first, but then answered. " I think she is hard to understand, but she is really such a nice person, and a bonus to that, she is brutally honest."

       Charlotte was shocked, she encountered the surface, but there is much to his description. "Uh-m, thanks for answering the questions, I'll see you soon." She walked up the stairs to find Suzy in bed. "You asked him, why?" Charlotte stood there for a while, "It's only because I want to protect you-" "STOP LYING TO ME! I'M THE ONE WHO FOUND OUT MY MOTHER WENT MISSING!! I'm the one that will suffer because of this, and I don't care if you call me selfish, but MY mother went missing because of ME!" Her tears spewed all over her clothes. "STOP-" But Charlotte was interrupted. "I WON'T STOP!  Take me out of here!! I never want to be here EVER!!" Suzy started stomping on the floor, waking everyone up. Everything escalated as soon as Wendy stomped into the room and howled at Suzy. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!? STOP SHOUTING TOO LOUD!!" And pushes Suzy, resulting in a mark on the mouth. As described by Freddy, wolves have strong paws, resulting in Suzy's bruise on her lip. "Suzy! WENDY, WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Charlotte pushed Wendy out of the room and locked the door. Suzy wailed as hard as she could. "Shush, please it's ok. I'll get ice, so come with me." Charlotte knew she couldn't just leave Suzy like this or bring her out, but hearing someone knock on the door frightened her. Charlotte unlocked the door to find Freddy Fox with ice in his hand. "I'm so sorry!""How did you know someone was injured??" Asked Charlotte. "I heard a bang and some cries. I'm truly sorry." "It's not your fault Freddy, now go lend some ice to Suzy." He walked to her, patted her back a few times and gave her ice.

     Suzy became calmer, and looked at him and said, "Thanks for coming, that made me feel better." Freddy nodded. He went to Charlotte and said, "I'm sorry for what I said before, I am so sorry!" "No need to be worried, it was my mess, and thanks for cleaning it up." Suzy looked at Charlotte and muttered, "I want to move now, I never want to come back," She knew she wasn't going to stay in this cursed place, due to the reason of her insisting on leaving quicker. Charlotte looked at her confused and said, "The moving truck will be here in a minute, we'll get home and go by train, if that make you feel better." "It will, thanks." Freddy looked at Suzy worriedly, wondering if she really wanted to leave, causing him to be scared that she was going to abandon him. As everyone gathered, there was an aura of worry and anxiety, mostly coming from Charlotte and Freddy. 'Is she... really going to leave?!' Freddy quickly shifted his gaze onto Suzy, trying to find at least a hint of bother, if she really cared. Richard looked at them, even if he sensed a strange sense of anxiety, he was still unfazed. This whole adventure was bound to end at some point, but it was too soon. "Everyone line up! We are sadly leaving at the moment, so we are going home!" Blurted Ms. Rabbit. 'Too soon? Everyone doesn't look like they want to be reminded they are leaving, do they?'  She realised on the spot, so she kept quiet. Suzy was overwhelmed with emotions, anxiety and relief. She has such contrasting emotion that she had remained stoic and silent.

    Soon, everything fell into place as everyone was safely escorted home to their parents and homes. Everyone, but Suzy. She had no legal guardians to guide her back, to protect her, to nurture her, or to teach her. That was when she forgot she had relatives by her side. Charlotte was shocked and concerned for Suzy's wellbeing. She felt guilty for pushing her to leave, as she was obviously having such a difficult time with the decision. Charlotte knew that Suzy was struggling with the fact that her mother had disappeared, and she wanted to protect her from any further trauma. She knew it was in Suzy's best interest to move away from the cursed place, but it was still a difficult decision for both of them. After everything that had happened, Charlotte believed that Suzy would be able to cope with the move. As Suzy packed her belongings and prepared to leave the cursed place behind, she felt a sense of relief. She knew that she was doing the right thing, and she was glad that she had the strength to take this step. She understood that it would be difficult to start a new life in a strange place, but she was ready to face the challenge. Charlotte was there to support her. Suzy knew that she wouldn't be alone, and that is what gave her the confidence to go through with the move.

Hello, I forgot to post this here. I don't think I'll come back to this; the chance is low, but never 0%.
