The Beginning

Wendy had been teaching in the mountain village for free for six years. Numerous students had left the mountains after they graduated under her tutelage.

But she couldn't stay here any longer because she had lost her faith. It was a meaningful job, but not to her anymore.

"Miss Wendy!"

"Miss Wendy!"

"Don't go, Miss Wendy! Where are you going?"

The children ran out of the classroom and called after her in tears.

Two elderly villagers heard the commotion and tottered closer to check upon them. "Miss Wendy, where are you going?"

"Linda, Ursula, thank you for all your help over the years. I have to go! I'm sorry! I can't stay here anymore!" Wendy cried as she ran out of the village and into the mountains without hesitation.

...

What happened to Chad and Wendy was happening all over the country.

"I'm sorry, guys, but I can't keep my promise!"
