The Taste of Near Death

Marshmallow

"I think I'll name it marshmallow," Tessa said after thinking a bit.
"I like that name but it's making me crave marshmallows." Azalea commented.
"How about," said Tessa's mum, "we go to the shops and grab a bag of marshmallows and we can toast them to celebrate the new kitten."
"Yeah." Tessa and Azalea said in unison.

Tessa's mum asked Hazel if she could take the kitten home. They all waited in the hallway until Hazel came out with the kitten meowing in a small plastic box.
"We will get you out of there as soon as we get home." Tessa cooed at the kitten.

When got to Tessas house, we let the kitten out of the box and let it run and explore everywhere. After a short while of watching the kitten play, Tessa and Azalea decided to make some smores. They had the marshmallows and Tessa found some chocolate biscuits so they lit a candle before punching the marshmallow with the stick and holding it over the candle flame. Tessa's marshmallow quickly caught on fire which she blew out before the whole marshmallow melted off of the stick. The smores melted in their mouthes. They both had two each and they could have had more but Tessa's mum said she didn't want nayone being sick. After the girls finished eating their smores, which they did while watching the new kitten run around, Azalea got picked up by her mum and she got driven home.

When Azalea was in the car, her mum told her that the police were coming over tomorrow to ask her what happened the night she was hurt. The reason the police didn't ask her sooner was because they didn't want to upset her while the memory was still fresh. They had already asked Zyler for information so they had been working with that since Azalea had been in hospital and resting.

When the police did come the next day, Azalea told them everything she could remember in as much detail as she possibly could. She described what happened before Zyler came right through to when she was pushed out of the window. She also described, to the best of her ability, what the man looked like. The story telling made her fill with emotions of hurt, hatred, terror and revenge. Over all she was more angry and scared than anything. She was scared that the man was still out there and may still want to kill her and she was angry that he was hurting people at all. It was awkward telling the police everything while her mum was there because she had to explain why Zyler was there in the first place. After she had spoken to the officers for a good hour and after they had left, her mum started questioning her about Zyler:

"I didn't know you were this close" "Did you have sex?" "Did you kiss at all?" "Did Zyler hurt you?" "Do you think Zyler planned this?" "What did you do together?" It was all too overwhelming for Azalea and she cried into her mothers arms. She didn't think Zyler would hurt her like this. He had already hurt Mitzi by using her to get to herself but Mitzi didn't know this. She was dead. Was she now being used for someone else? Did Zyler not actually like her? Was Zyler working with that man who tried to kill her? She didn't feel she could trust him anymore. But the next night her feelings would have changed.
