I woke up and rubbed my eyes. That's weird. I never rub my eyes. I rubbed them once more. I ran over to a nearby pond. I looked at my reflection. My beautiful blue eyes. They changed. They are now a crimson red. I HAVE BECOME IT! I screamed in horror. Tom woke up, carried Amy, and walked over to me. He looked at my face and froze. I said nothing. He slowly turned back and ran back. I didn't run and touch him, I didn't know what to do. I watched as he woke Sung Min and pointed at me. Then they both started running off. I stared at them. I watched them disappear. I felt tears slowly coming down my cheek. I wiped them with my arm. I sat down and started weeping. I felt betrayed. I was going to die. I sat in that same spot for a long time. I got up eventually and started walking back. Back to the creek. Now I can go back safe, as I was already it.

I sat before the creek. I watched the water flow by. The current was slow. It was as if the river knew about my sorrow. I got up and looked for my net. I was starving. Since Tom had the crayfish we caught in Amy's basket. I found my net on a tree. I got it and caught some crayfish. I remember when I found this creek, and Sung Min took a crayfish, and Tom burst out laughing, and I wasn't it. I miss Tom. He had a beautiful face. I loved his eyes. Sung Min was very funny, and idiotic. I laughed to myself. I snacked on the crayfish. I stared at my reflection, at my eyes. I felt sorry for myself. I don't even know how I became it. I was so stupid. Why did I sleep so vulnerable? Not near a tree like Tom and Sung Min. I sat there, watching the fallen leaves float by.
