"I'm sorry I scared you," Kat told her. "Really I am," there was a lump
filling her throat and making it hard for her to talk. She couldn't believe
that Miranda hurt them. even though she loved them, she just couldn't
believe it was true. Miranda was her friend and wouldn't do anything like
that. She couldn't remember much about the other place, except for the
funny stars that melted because of her necklace. "Miranda wouldn't hurt
me...she's my friend."
