Os's Desert: 4th Part: Mary Alone

Mary found herself in the desert, but it was day, and there was no one. “Is there anyone?” she questioned while walking around. To her response there was silence, it was almost terrifying. Mary kept wandering in the desert. Then stopped and sighed, “How can I get out...” she questioned. She looked around, there was nothing, and she was also alone. She returned to walk. Nothing to do, the desert seemed endless. A light breeze of wind passed through her legs. “And what's this?” she questioned. And right after the wind turned into a sandstorm, making Mary scream a little out of fear, and covered her eyes so the debris couldn't get in them, “Darn it!” she said to herself, and tried to go forward. But what she saw there was pretty far but she could see a giant figure, with white eyes during the storm, and to the right a cavern, sort of, she ran into it and stayed there, until the storm settles down. Then she heard another voice beside hers. ”Hey, are you lost, little one?” Mary looked at the direction where the voice came from...
It was July! She had her classic calm and outgoing smile. Mary seemed lost. “Uhm.. w-who are you?” she asked, her voice trembling a little. July giggled a little before answering her, she found Mary's shyness adorable. “Oh, don't worry, I don't want to hurt you.” July tried to reassure Mary while getting closer. Mary didn't fully trust her though. “You're very pretty, what's your name?” July asked with a more gentle and delicate voice. Mary looked down, “My name is Mary...” she told to July, with voice so low it almost sounded like a whisper, “I see,” she replied, “my name's July, July Crystal. Nice to meet you.” she introduced herself, then went forward to ask something, which she was curious, but at the same time confused. ”How old are you? You shouldn't be in a place like this.” July asked, “Twelve.” Mary replied, “I know, I know.” she also added when July pointed out that Mary was a little too young to be here. “I came here with some friends, but then a weird portal sucked me in, and now I'm here.” she explained, July was sad to know she got split up from her friends, “I'm sorry, but I'm sure we'll find them together.” she tried to reassure Mary, “Could you talk to me about these friends of yours?” she asked, and Mary's expression turned enthusiastic by hearing the question, ”Of course!” she exclaimed, “There's Noel, who's a very energetic and kind boy, then there's Jazz who is very smart and mature...” she paused for a moment, “Then there's Derek.” she finished, adding nothing else.  July smiled, “You know, I know them.” she told to Mary, who was surprised to know that. ”Really?” she asked in shock, ”Mhm!” July replied with a nod, “You have some very good guys by your side.” she told her. Mary's cheeks turned a little red by the compliment July gave to her friends. “Aww, look at you! You're blushing!” July pointed out while laughing a little, “That's not true!” Mary retorted while looking away and covering her face. July laughed a bit more, and Mary stopped blushing, and also smiled, even if a little. The storm was calming down in the meanwhile. “Do you like any of them?” July asked out of the blue, with a teasing tone. Mary looked at her, “Wha- no no! What are you saying?!” she shouted, embarrassed, and July started to laugh, “I bet you like Noel!” she said jokingly. Mary became more embarrassed by the comment, “Come on, stop it!” she said while covering her face with her hands. July kept chuckling, but then she stopped and smiled, “Ah, I'm just teasing you.” she told her, Mary looked at her, with her a bit red little face. July was trying to not burst out laughing again, but it was pretty hard because of the way Mary looked at her. “Come, follow me.” July said while gesturing her hand as if to say to come with her. Mary decided to do as July said. They finally headed out of the cavern. It was all more tranquil. The two started to head forward, being silent. They reached a glowy white door, from the other side there was only a glowing light. ”This is the exit.” July said. “Oh, thank you.” Mary replied, then smiled and walked towards the light, and then everything became white.
