{Whew, finally got online. Sorry for not replying earlier to Formosa and Liz.}
Natalia hugged Formosa gingerly, not wanting to hurt her. She'd never really had friends before, and Formosa and Liz could become good ones. "I know how you feel," she said, trying to sound sympathetic, but probably failing. She gave the other girls a little grin, hoping she looked carefree, though she was hiding such a deep, dark secret.
Liz asked her a question, and Natalia turned to face her. "I...I have..." She stammered. The last time she'd been out, besides a few minutes ago to catch that rabbit, someone she had loved had died. She listened as Elizabeth told her of her past and thought to herself, She must trust us a lot already to tell us these things.
She took a deep breath and said, "Oh, Elizabeth, I can't exactly sympethize with you, because I never knew my parents. I have...I mean, had, a sister..." Natalia bit her lip. Should she tell them about her past, too? Elizabeth had gone through the trouble of sharing her secrets with them, obviously she felt they were trustworthy. Shouldn't she show the same respect?
