Sara doesn't know what works, but suddenly Melanie is reeling back, pulling away. She watches, letting her TK back off and her arms fall to the ground. It isn't until Melanie vanishes in the trees that she realizes: this little girl has just tried to eat her, and now she's running off into the woods.
"Melanie!" she calls, but before the sound even fades from her ears, she knows there's no point. She pushes to her feet and dares to try to follow. But she's not a tracker, not a gat man. She can't hear her making a ruckus in the woods, and that would be her only anchor. With nothing to follow, Sara stands there, helplessly staring into the trees.
