  "WE COULD HAVE SAVED HIM!" Camille yelled at Josephine while running away. "We can fight! We don't have to let someone sacrifice themselves for our lives!"
  "He was dead from the beginning. It's not my problem," said Josephine, mildly annoyed.
  "How would you like it if we ran away from you in a death situation!" yelled Camille.
  "For once, I agree with Camille," said Ella. "Sam was innocent. We could have saved him."
  "I AM YOUR CARETAKER. YOU LISTEN TO ME. I WILL NOT RISK YOUR PITIFUL LIVES FOR A STRANGER'S!" yelled Josephine.
  "IT'S OUR JOB TO RISK OUR LIVES FOR OTHERS!" yelled Camille, getting tired.
  "Stop fighting!" yelled Tyler.
  "NO!" they yelled together. At that time, they arrived at the entrance to the Hidden's cave. They went in, with a very sour mood.
  "Where's the passenger?" asked Jonathan.
  "Dead," replied Josephine. "Not our problem. Why do we even try to save the doomed species?"
  "We are here to help others, not get them killed." said a calm Jonathan. "You know, without the other species, we wouldn't be alive." All the other Hidden came closer, wanting to hear the argument. "Would you have thrown out an innocent child, leave them for the Empire to kill, just because of their species? She was innocent, and so was Sam. They both deserved to be saved."
  "Who do you mean?" asked a curious Ella.
"Camille!" replied Josephine, "She should have been thrown out. She's a danger to our lives!"
  "WHAT!" yelled Camille, "What do you mean, 'She's a danger!' What do you mean, 'She should have been thrown out!'"
  "Josephine, you shouldn't have said that. Now she will be asking questions we can't explain." said Jonathan.
  "What do you mean! What am I? Why am I different than the others!" yelled Camille.
  "YOU AREN'T HUMAN!" screamed Josephine, "YOU HAVEN'T FIGURED THAT OUT YET!"
  "THEN WHAT AM I!" Camille screamed back, crying.
  "We don't know," said Jonathan.
