i'll show thee the way

Mara's whole body trembled with sadness as she looked at the whimpering pup.

"I am so, so sorry. I don't know why I did that, its just when you started trying to rip my throat open, I lost it." she said, half sobbing. How could she?! She was utterly disgusted with herself. How would she ever sleep at night knowing she had done such a horrible thing to this little pup? Mara looked back up into the green eyes of the girl, her own storm grey ones pleading for the pup to give her one last chance.

"I can try and help you the best I can, if you let me." she said softly, her voice filled with light hope.
