Esther

Esther had been too ashamed when she woke up that morning. Her face burned as she recalled clinging to Mr. Narok the night before. Had she been so lonely, that desperate, that she'd given in to baser instincts? That morning, she had had no intention of stepping out of her room for fear of running into Mr. Narok. However, a message from Dahra forced her hand.

She went downstairs to ask Ms. Reid how she could get off the island. When she learned that Bloom was heading to school, she figured she could kill two birds with one stone—first, she could hitch a ride to take care of Dahra's matters, and second, she could finally talk to Bloom.
