I stood detached as I watched the waves of the river's edge bob Marisa's head gently back and forth. The pale huge of her once soft skin churned my stomach as I wiped the snot from my nose. it had been at least an hour now since the sun came up and I had found her like this under the trussle, yet I couldn't bring myself to look away from her lifeless body floating just off the shore in the thickets. If I had only got her message sooner, if I had only listened then maybe, just maybe... none of that matters now because soon everyone would know what I knew. The secret that cost Marisa her life would be public knowledge and there was nothing I could do to stop it. The only thing I could do now was keep my promise I made to her, no matter the price.
