Samantha shot to her feet "Prudence? Where are you?"

"Samantha?" she heard someone call out To her surprise it was Wendell, not Prudence

"Wendell? Did you find Prudence?"

"Yes"

"Where are you?"

"Over here"

"Samantha, be careful," Prudence said "There's a hole I think it's one of Mr Pryde's hunting traps"

As Prudence spoke, Saht herself a step away froot down on her knees so she could look down The pit was dark, but she could see two shapes down there, one larger and one shted by copper hair

"Prudence! Thank God"

"Samantha! You found us"

"I's I said It was stupid You're my best friend in the whole world"

"You're my best friend too I'm sorry I was mean to you like the others I just felt…hurt, I suppose I didn't want to lose you"
