I heard a pounding of footsteps as Ali arrived, the sound quickly replaced with a gasp and then silence. She joined the line we had formed, obviously in shock.

"But.. how..?"

No-one spoke, staring at the slowly dying flames. When the blaze was over, casting us in darkness, Amy suddenly turned.

"This is your fault you know! I told you not to take that voodoo doll from that witch's house! Stupid bitch, get out of here!"

She was directing her accusation to Ali, who looked like she was going to start crying again. Ali looked at me for help, so I gave her a nod. Would she get the message?

"Why do you always pick on me, Amy? Why not just take the blame for your own actions?"

Yup, she got it. Amy was clearly stunned, she had stepped back and her mouth was open.

"'Why not take the blame'? Because it wasn't me, idiot! 'Why pick on you'? BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS YOU!"

I covered my ears, dang she could shriek! Ali flinched, but she wasn't done yet.

"Always me? Who turned our nether star into a beacon, when I specifically said it would be used for a Witherbane? Who threw our only ultimate sword into lava, for a laugh? WHO MAKE MINE AND RITA'S LIFE A MISERY?!"

Me and Rita were rooted to the spot.

"Why, you of course! Haha, when will you realize how useless you are, Alice? You're not needed in this group, in this world in fact!"

The way Amy laughed all the way through her sentence was so annoying... Ali certainly seemed pissed. She ran up to Amy and punched her, throwing her back. She stole the potion from Amy's hand and ran in my direction, hiding behind me. Recovering, Amy ran after her, attempting to hit her. I grabbed Amy's hand before it reached Ali, and pushed her back. Being the bigger one here certainly helped.

She recoiled, stepping away from me. It seemed she could pick on a friend, but not stand up to her idol. It sounded strange, me being someone's 'idol'. Rita, recovering from the shock, spoke up.

"Well, if you think we're so useless, why don't you try surviving on your own?"

"What?! I didn't say you were useless, Rita!"

Rita was unfazed.

"Ignoring yesterday when you attempted to blame me for losing our map, when both me and Ali saw you looking at it just after we left? You are banned from this group, Amy."

"WHAT?! YOU CAN'T DO THAT! I MADE THIS GROUP, I'M LEADER!"

She was shrieking again. Ali spoke up from behind me. Her voice was quiet and shaky.

"Actually, Rita started the group. She even had a sign in her tent saying it."

Amy looked lost, even sad.

"But... I can't..."

"Go, Amy."

She sighed and walked off into the deep forest. Ali looked worried.

"Should we have done that?"
