## Transcript

Mya wailed in anguish. "She's getting away!"

"There's no time to assemble an army!" Evie declared. "Who parked their car closest to Shetani?"

"My car is closest to hers!" Mrs. Hawkins stated. "Come on, let's go!"

At once, they followed the math teacher to her car, parked five spaces away from Shetani's, which was unsurprisingly red. Shetani pulled out, turning left, and Mrs. Hawkins followed her with two of her most trusted students.

The car swerved out of the school and grounds and left, onto a small roadway that led up to a four-path stop.

Once the light turned green, Shetani sped off into the continued roadway up ahead. Mrs. Hawkins sped after her, soon being able to drive side-by-side.

Amira and Winter noticed them. Both fisted the window, trying to break the glass in order to get out. It was dangerous being in a car not strapped down with a seatbelt - but they were doing this to live.

"Just what do you think you're doing, slave?" Shetani growled at Amira. She swerved the car around so that Amira went flying back into the other window.

"***She is not your slave***!" Winter screeched, hitting Shetani on her neck. Amira began punching the window again, and it began to crack. *Yes!*

Meanwhile, Mrs. Hawkins continued to drive. "We're nearing the bridge into the other section of Pineshadow!" Evie gasped in horror. The bridge was high and surrounded by rocky terrain, and had a very small brook below mostly made of stone. Drivers were advised to be cautious to avoid accidents.

Shetani was driving recklessly. They would have to stop her before her car before she, Amira, and Winter would go careening down into the brook.

Amira tried breaking more of her window again. She cracked it more and more. Winter helped as well.

"Knock that off!" Shetani growled, swerving around again. Amira hit the back of the car, and she rubbed her head in pain. Winter hung on, pulling her girlfriend back up to her. They were not going down without a fight.

"We're getting out of here, she-devil! Nothing you can do about it!" Winter screamed.

Mrs. Hawkins saw what was going on, and kept on driving.

She pressed her car closer to Shetani's, trying to stop her. Sparks began to fly.

Finally, after many repeated hits, the window broke. Amira tried to reach out. She noticed that they were about to near the bridge leading into the other section of Pineshadow.

"Ahh!" She gasped.

Shetani noticed this too. "Oh no we don't!" She sped off, turning the car so they were right on top of the cliff.

Mrs. Hawkins followed them, stopping just as Shetani's car itself came to a halt.

Shetani dragged Amira and Winter out. They tried fighting back, but her grip was too strong.

Evie and Mya had just gotten out when they noticed what was happening.

"Well, if it ain't the main two themselves." Shetani dangled Amira and Winter over the cliff face with one arm. "Take a step closer to me, and they plummet to their death!"

"That's what all villains say, Shetani!" Mya yelled. "Give me back my sister and my friend."

"Give them *back*," Evie snarled. "Don't forget I'm trained in martial arts. I could easily send you flying over this cliff, devil. You're asking for it."

Mrs. Hawkins protectively placed her hands on her two students. "Stop this fight, Heather. I knew you were trouble the moment you banned gay relationships. Let Miss Fleckenshire and Miss McCormick go. The police will find out where you are soon."

"Doreen, you think they will? They're too busy congregating in my office!"

Winter and Amira held hands in fear. If a fight broke out, they'd be dropped and would fall to their deaths below. It was hard to think about that grim outcome.

"I'm scared, Ira. I'm really scared," Winter admitted, shaking.

Amira gripped her hand tighter. Then she got an idea. "Hold my hand tightly, Win. *Don't let go*."

"Why? What if I release you?"

"*Listen to me*! I know what I'm doing." Amira paused, then began to speak again, determination blazing in her striking brown eyes. "On three. One... Two... ***THREE***!"

She swung herself forward, hitting the grass and dragging Winter with her. Shetani had let go of them, startled by the noise, and both managed to avoid the drop below them.

Shetani quickly regained her bearings. "**Idiots**! She ran forward, attempting to grab Winter by the collar of her maroon shirt, but Evie kicked her in the stomach.

"I don't think so, devil!" She hit her opponent on her ribs, then on her waist. The she-devil collapsed onto the ground, her red hair stuck up in all sorts of directions. Evie then leapt on top of her, wrapping her arms around her neck. Gripping her tighter, she pulled back, causing Shetani to rear like a horse in an attempt to get her off.

"**You disgusting brat**!" Shetani screeched, trying to free herself. She found herself staring into the leaf-green eyes of Mya.

"Don't you talk trash about my girlfriend, you hellish demon!" She snapped, punching Shetani in the jaw. A single tooth and drops of blood went flying. However, Shetani finally managed to throw Evie off, and the girl just barely missed a rock. The she-devil then picked up Mya by her shirt collar, and seeing that rock, a smile grew on her face. Mya kicked out, trying to fight back, but she couldn't do much.

Evie got back up, and seeing the person she cared for the most in danger, gave her more willpower than she had before. Fists clenched, and green eyes shining, she took a step forward.

"Drop her, *now*, you revolting, half-brained, apathetic *người ngoại đạo*!" She charged forward, slamming Shetani into the ground and trying to restrain her, with Mya joining in.

"Heck yeah, Ev! You just got roasted, 'Tani, because you just called a *heathen*!" Mya remarked, flinging her auburn-hinted light brown hair back.

"***ENOUGH OF THAT***!" Shetani roared. In one move, she got up, and flung the two girls off of her with immediate disgust. Picking up Evie, she threw her into the rock hard, causing her to groan in pain. "Evie!" Mya yelped worriedly. She ran off to the side of her girlfriend, about to help her up, but didn't look behind her. Shetani struck her on the ear, causing her to writhe in agony. The blow was going to leave a bruise later.

This only left Amira and Winter standing together. Mrs. Hawkins had gone to tend to Evie and Mya, examining them nervously.

"*You fools*. Thinking you could stop me," Shetani muttered. "**And it's time you all paid for that display**!"

Without warning, Shetani charged forward and picked up Amira by her blue shirt. Amira felt the air slip out of her as an icy hand squeezed her neck. She tried kicking back, managing to slip loose after hitting her aunt's stomach.

"You liar! Thinking that I was a disgrace because I wasn't a pure white person. Thinking I was a brat who shouldn't have been into girls. Calling me a freak who no one loved. Well, I ain't playing around with you no more. I should have done this a long time ago!" She jumped onto Shetani and hit her jaw, then slapped her face over and over. Dazed, Shetani regained control of herself again, flinging Amira off of her.

"You should have never defied me, slave. You are an unfaithful, useless teenage girl. **And you will suffer for it**!" Without warning, Shetani gripped Amira's neck and starting squeezing it with immense pressure. She struggled to break free, and the world began getting darker and more blurry.

"***LEAVE. HER. ALONE***!" Winter screamed, her voice echoing. She whipped out her knife, blade gleaming, and cut Shetani on her arm. A deep red line was left in it, oozing crimson blood.

Shetani winced in pain. Her white sleeve was reddened. In anger, she barreled toward Winter, who jumped up at her face and cut her on the neck as well.

But she wouldn't have the position for long. Shetani punched her on the side of her face. Stunned, Winter couldn't get away from Shetani's uncut arm, which was now wrapped around her mouth.

Amira got up, everything in her sights having returned to normal. "Winter... No!"

Winter was being dragged to the edge of the cliff. She was held over it precariously. Shetani cackled.

"I knew I would be able to stop you, Winterlyn. You're never taking my source of pleasure away from me again. Good riddance!"

Amira looked on. She wasn't going to let her girlfriend die. A new fire, that of pure hate, confidence, and so much more, was lit in her eyes.

At once, she sprung forward. "***THIS IS FOR EVERYTHING YOU EVER DID TO ME***!"

Shetani whipped around, confused by the noise. She dropped Winter by the edge of the cliff, and she quivered in horror.

"You think you can-"

Shetani's sentence was cut short. Amira slammed into her aunt's body, and the next thing she knew, she was in a freefall over the cliff.

"***AMIRA***!" Winter screamed. Amira was falling to the ground - which was a long way down - and made of stone.

*I'm not going to let you die!* She immediately scanned the area, and seeing a slope nearby, ran to it and slid down. Having recovered, Evie and Mya saw where she was going.

"Winter, that's steep!" Mya called. Her cry went ignored as Winter slid down, and she and Evie followed.

Reaching the bottom of the brook, Winter ran across the stony ground. She then found two bodies laying on top of another, feeling her heart beat so fast that it felt like it was ripping into two pieces.

*No. No. NO.* She slid down, gently dragging Amira's limp body off of Shetani's.

Shetani didn't move.

Winter held up Amira's body, placing her gently onto her lap.

"Ira... Ira, it's me, Winter. You can't be dead! *Please don't leave me*!"

Winter thought she could feel herself becoming just as cold as Amira's body. She wasn't glad she was alive. Her girlfriend sacrificed herself for her, and now she was dead, meaning that they would never be together again.

"Amira, please! Stay with me! I can't afford to lose you! **I can't live without you**!"

Evie and Mya stood by Winter. The scene was so heartbreaking. Mya was beginning to cry, and Evie hugged her somberly. They had just witnessed their new worst enemy go down, and now, they had lost someone close to them.

Winter was sobbing. She laid Amira's body on the ground, and curled up next to her for the final time. No one could ever replace Amira or the hole ripped in her heart, oozing with imaginary blood.

"Please don't go... I want you to stay! You brought me so much. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me!"

She cried uncontrollably. Nothing could ever repair the cruel blow inflicted to her broken heart. Mya tried to place her hand on her shoulder, but she swatted it away, her grief too strong to make her care about her adopted sister.

"*Te amo*! *Te amo*!" She wailed sadly. She had lost yet another girlfriend. First, she had lost Daniela, who had become callous, vicious, and hellbent on murder following their breakup, and now Amira. The latter's death had broken Winter's heart into tiny broken pieces that would never be put together again.

"*Te amo* means *I love you*. I freaking love you, Ira! Don't leave me! Please! You're too young to go out like this!"

Winter rested her cheek by Amira's ear, feeling her soft blue shirt and her light brown skin. She whispered to her for the last time.

"*Te amo*." She pulled her girlfriend's dead body into hers, and sobbed into it hysterically. She would never heal from this. She was broken harder than before. She could never have a girlfriend. She could never be happy.

She wanted to give up and die here. She found no reason to live anymore.

"*Te amo* too, babe."

Winter, stunned, froze in amazement. *What? That has to be my imagination. She's dead.*

"Amira... Is your ghost here to greet me?"

"Winter." Winter finally fully opened her eyes, and couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Amira's banged-up face was looking up at her, her brown eyes wide and full of affection.

"Am I dreaming? Are you really okay?"

Winter felt herself being pulled closer to Amira. She felt her hand touch her cheek. "Yes. I'm here, Win. Wait - I'm actually okay?"

Evie and Mya gasped in shock. "She's alive!" Evie proclaimed.

"Now that's magic!" Mya exclaimed.

Winter began crying again, but this time, it was tears of joy. She picked Amira up in her arms, causing her face to flush pink, but she smiled anyway.

"How did you survive that fall? It was like, sixty feet down!"

"I didn't hit the ground, Shetani impacted first. I hit her body. I'm a little shaken, but I don't feel broken..."

Letting herself fall from Winter's arms, she flinched, feeling pain in her right leg. "Yow! Sprained. But I'll be fine. These heal quickly."

Amira then saw Shetani laying very still on the ground, blood around her head, which was bent at an awkward angle. From the looks of it, she was dead. She looked at the body nervously.

"Is she really dead?"

"She's deader than dead, Ami! You're forever free now. Gays unite, for we have **won**!" Mya cheered. Everyone hugged Amira happily.

"Oh Amira, my baby!" A young female voice called. Amira turned and saw three unmistakable figures running toward her.

Her mother, father, and grandmother.

She didn't move at all. In fact, she wasn't happy to see them. Evie, Mya, and Winter stood by her side, confusion in their eyes.

"**Stay away from me**!" Amira snapped. "You let me be abused and broken by an aunt who you said loved me! You lied to me!"

"Amira, we didn't believe that when we entrusted Shetani to care for you. We returned, suspicious something was wrong, and we had heard the whole truth," her mother explained.

"We've felt guilty since we've returned for ignoring you. You're such a good child to us," said Amira's father. "Yet we never returned the affection to you."

Her grandmother approached. "Sweetheart, I'm so sorry for ignoring you. I should have put you in my sights more, and that's something I probably can't make up for. You understand?"

"Thanks, I guess. But *leave*. None of you want me, and I don't want you."

"Take this, Amira," her father mentioned. Amira was given a card with tourist information for Yellowknife, a place in Canada. *They want me to go to Canada? For real?*

She gasped. Her parents were trying to make it up to her by a trip to somewhere else. It was a beautiful place, but was it really worth it?

She glanced at Winter. A pleading look was on her face, and she was quivering. Her face was peach-colored and her eyes were raw and irritated. She was quietly asking *Please don't do this*.

She glanced at the card, back at her family, then toward Winter and her friends. She did so repeatedly. The wait was filled with tension, eyes boring into her soul.

Finally, Amira strode up to her parents and grandmother. They reached out to touch her hand, but she swatted them away, much to their surprise.

"***Over my dead body***!" She roared in fury, retreating to stand beside Winter, who looked more relieved.

"Amira, we didn't mean to-" Her mother started.

"***SHUT UP***!" Amira added. "You're part of the reason my life was hell. You let a woman who ***TRIED TO KILL ME*** care for me. I had to wear a collar! I became her dog! And you did nothing to stop this, nor did you even care! You're not my family. ***SHE IS***!"

Amira grasped Winter's hand tightly, laying her head on her shoulder. In turn, Winter protectively wrapped her arm around her waist, just like she did earlier in the day. She had her pocket knife drawn in her other hand, glaring at Amira's family with hatred and mistrust.

"We know you're an only child, Amira," her father said. "We know what it's like to be lonely. I thought you were happy without a sister."

Amira only shook her head sadly. Winter wasn't a sister to her - she was her girlfriend. She kissed her on her chin before turning to her parents and grandmother.

"Winter is the only person who's ever truly loved me. You never will. **Leave**."

Her parents didn't respond, but her grandmother did. "I had a feeling you would say that, dear. But I actually purchased you a present while down in Yellowknife."

She gave Amira two orange mittens with blue and green stripes on them, making her gasp. "You finally gave me the *Coraline* mittens I've been asking for!"

"I understand my mistakes, Amira. I wanted to make it up to you. I know you will say no, so I should be going now. But if you ever decide to change your mind, I'll be in Old Town."

"Wait!" Amira exclaimed. She hugged her grandmother, a clear sign that she wanted her to stay. Her parents had began to walk away after they were rejected by her.

"Then so it will be. And you three - you are welcome to come by any time you want. Especially you, Winter - thank you for rescuing my daughter and being someone she could love."

Winter blushed. "My pleasure. I think it's time to go home. Let's make some arrangements on that."

***Some time later...***

Evie, Mya, Winter, and Amira had decided to head out to Pinelake Park, where they would hang out until nightfall. Amira's grandmother, Dahlia, was with them, quietly relaxing on a nearby bench.

Authorities had confirmed that Shetani died instantly after she impacted the ground, and Pineshadow middle school was closed for the rest of the year pending an investigation within the Fleckenshire family. Braxton and Mikayla Fleckenshire, Amira's parents, had lost custody of her, with full custody being handed over to Dahlia.

On the other hand, the bruises and any scarring Amira got on her body were healing well, as was her sprained right leg, which she could walk on more now.

"Guys, I really can't thank you enough for everything you've done for me. It was so daunting having to go through all the pain, trauma, and abuse, but you - yes, all of you - prevented me from taking my own life. Seeing that I was loved, appreciated, and wanted, especially by you, Winter, made me stronger than ever. I cannot thank you enough for that," Amira gratefully said.

"Oh, Ami, it's no problem," Evie said. "We're here anytime. Always. Like Mya said, gays unite!"

"Yeah!"

Mya was scrolling around on YouTube. Suddenly, she perked up. "Look at this, guys!"

Evie, Winter, and Amira all crowded around Mya's phone, and Amira began to smile.

"Hey, isn't that Cassandra's music channel? And wait. Isn't that *Monster*?"

"And that's the surprise we had in store!" Winter pridefully responded. "We asked her to cover *Monster* for you. It already has five thousand views."

Amira's eyes began to water, hearing her pretty singing voice. "I'm so touched right now... This warms my heart. Tell Cassandra that I said thanks for going out of her way to do this."

Winter hugged her tightly. "Of course. I'm touched just as much as you are."

"I'm ready to enjoy our extended summer. Everyone in?" Evie asked.

"With our strength and pride, gays unite!" The girls chanted.

"Hey, mind if we stroll together for a bit?" Amira asked Evie and Mya, leaning against Winter's shoulder.

"Sure," Mya replied. She watched as the two got up, walking into the Piney Woods.

"So... We can finally have some time alone together," Mya began, placing her head onto Evie's shoulder.

"You bet we can, Mya. I won't ever have to play roulette again or some stupid game a devil concocted."

"And I hopefully won't ever have to be used as bait again... You know, Evie?"

"What?"

"You're quite attractive when you can't think straight."

Evie blushed. "Um, what?"

She didn't need to speak no more. Mya looked into her dark green eyes. "You're also quite attractive when you're confused. I like it."

"Don't you start, Mya Heartley. Stuff it for later. Anyways... Do you still think I'm a good leader? That my mom will support me more?"

"She will, Evie. Tiger parents are hard to reason with - and punishing you for nearly sacrificing yourself was wrong. Opal is changing, slowly but surely. She's just bound to tradition. And you're a *real* leader."

"Yeah, I guess so..."

"Ev... Don't doubt yourself as a leader. Your plans may not always work, but you're still smart. You may face absurd standards at times that seem hard to reach. But don't let it pressure you. Your mom is demanding, but you're in control of what you want. And in this case, you're one of the best people I've ever met, if not the best. So with that being said - you're you, and you're already making your mark in the world."

"Thank you, lord of public speeches. Means a lot." Evie then kissed Mya on her cheek happily.

Meanwhile, Amira and Winter were strolling through the Piney Woods.

"I have a present to give you, Ira. I hope you like it," Winter mentioned. She sat down on a tree stump.

"Ooh, what is it?"

Winter gave Amira her prized green-striped sweater. "Now, I know Daniela gave this to me for my birthday, and that it was meant for me... But I wanted to give it back to you. To improve your little collection you have in your closet."

"Really? Thanks!" Amira exclaimed. "I'm wearing this with my mittens, and absolutely *no one* is calling the fashion police on me."

Winter burst out laughing. "Did you just steal Mya's comedic charm, Ira?"

"I learn from the best, shawty."

"So it would seem. And hey, I'm never going to let go of you. I promise."

"And I'm not letting go of you, Win. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me. Thanks for appreciating me for who I was, and thanks for staying close to me since our awkward meeting at Pinelake. You're special."

"Aww shucks, look at you giving all these compliments," Winter responded happily. "That's the true words of a warrior who's been through it all. We're warriors, together and always. What do you say to that, Ira?"

"Definitely." Pulling her signature move, Amira placed her arms on Winter's shoulders, and she let herself fall to the ground. Winter laid right on top of her.

"I love you," Amira stated, full of warmth and joy.

"I love you too," replied Winter. Rolling off of Amira, she glanced up at the stars with her.

Peace had once again returned to Pineshadow.
