Chapter 33
Jazalyn and Melody walked away from the campsite. "Melody," Jazalyn asked in a soothing tone, "is there something you want to talk about?"
Melody looked at her best friend, "I was just thinking about what would've happened if Dais had succeeded in taking Melissa away from us."
Suddenly, Melody burst into tears, "there were so many times when I thought that Anubis was going to take you away from me, or Melissa was going to get kidnapped. I'm scared to death for the both of you."
Jazalyn sighed, "You don't need to worry about me or Melissa. Worrying isn't going to help anyone."
"Every time I think about our partners," Melody sobbed, "I feel this overwhelming sense of fear. I don't want you two to get hurt or kidnapped."
Jazalyn hugged Melody in an attempt to comfort her best friend, "remember when I would sing "Best Friend" by S Club 7?"
"You always sang that song just so you could piss me off," Melody smiled through her tears.
"Well," Jazalyn smiled, suppressing the urge to giggle, "I'm not going to let you down, and I'm always going to be around for you."
"Is that a promise?" Melody asked.
"Of course," Jazalyn replied.
"But we aren't in a "normal" situation," Melody said in a serious tone.
"I know." Jazalyn sighed as she let go of her best friend and roommate, "We're being put to the test. I just hope that we'll live through this so we can see our families again. If my dad ever found out about this, I would never be allowed to leave Hawai'i."
"Hey!" Melissa called out, "You two okay?"
"Yep," Jazalyn replied, "Melody just needed to get some feelings out of her system."
Melissa then ran over to the two girls, "Everyone was wondering where you two went. You guys have been gone for at least 10 minutes."
"We're fine," Melody reassured Melissa, "I just had to get something off my chest."
"Well, we'd better…" but before Melissa could say another word, all three girls heard the sound of someone crying.
