The Original Seri Pt. 4

The scene abruptly stopped and moved ahead quickly. After the annual hunt, William saved Mary after she was tricked by Ilene into going to the wrong location. Once she was saved, she coincidentally gave him a tassel. Ilene heard about the incidence and grew furious. Her bullying intensified.

Seri watched from the sidelines as Mary came home more and more depressed. However, whenever the two were alone, Mary would seemed extremely cheerful. Although Mary didn't seem to mind the bullying, Seri felt frustrated and upset to see Mary suffer. One day, she came across Ilene, Sel, and Mel bullying Mary so badly, Mary actually ran off crying.

Seri stepped forward. Her voice shook, "Y-You should l-leave Mary alone."

Ilene turned to her with a wicked expression, "What's this? Did Seri the little mouse actually say something?!"

Mel giggled, "Were those words? They sounded like squeaks to me."

Sel taunted, "Just go find some trash little mouse."
