Chapter Eleven - Abandoned

I feel terrible for yelling at Sami like that. I have to find her and apologize. But problem is, I can't. I looked everywhere. I can't find her.

I sigh, upset. Pan comes up to me. "What's wrong, darling?"

"I can't find Sami," I say. I remember her words. Don't trust him.

"Oh, I was going to tell you."

"Tell me what?"

Pan pulls me down on a log, sitting with me. He lays his hand over mine. "She left."

I take in a deep breath. "Left? No, she wouldn't leave me!"

"She did. Asked me to let her leave. Left last night."

"But why?"

"She said you had a fight. You said some harsh things. She felt unwanted."

My heart churns. "She told you?"

"Yes, darling."

"Wait a minute. You wouldn't let her leave! You don't let anyone leave!"

He sighs. "You're the important one, Sammie. Not her. I only brought her here because of your desire. It seems like she doesn't care."

"I don't believe you." I say, snatching my hand away from him. Don't trust him. He's evil.

"Why would I lie to you?"

"Well, you're keeping a big secret about why I'm so special to you, so I can believe you're lying."

"I told you, darling, I'll tell you soon."

"Until you do, I don't trust you. Sami was right. I shouldn't trust you. I don't know why I ever did." I stood up and walked away. I'll find you, Sami. I know you're still here. Wherever Pan has you.
