JASMINE’S GOODBYE

"It is time for you to leave." One of the guards said.

Fiona rose up to her feet quickly and was very obviously distraught.

"So soon?" She demanded. "But she has barely even had the time to get herself together."

"That is not for you or anyone else to decide." The guard replied to Fiona.

The guards started to progress towards her in an attempt to take her willingly or forcefully.

"There will be no need for that," Jasmine stated rising to her feet.

She hugged Fiona hard.

She felt the tears at the brim of her eyes and then could soon feel it go down her cheek.

"Swear that we will see again," Fiona said. "Nothing will happen to you, and you shall return back to this pack."

Jasmine swallowed. "I wished I could make such promises, but I cannot tell the future."
