"You are the stupidest person I have ever met," I'm panting as I approach my sister, walking up the hill towards where she had emerged from the elf's cave a few seconds ago.
"Opal. I feel....different, I feel better among the elves. I need to help them," she tells me.
As I get closer to her, I punch her. Hard. She staggers backwards, clutching her arm and I immediately feel bad for it. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I tell her. "I....I don't know why I did that,"

As we walk into the city, people begin shouting at us. I wince and cover my head, afraid that they'll start throwing stones at us. It's obvious that the village is angry at Ruby.
"Please!" Ruby calls. "Let me....let me explain. I can, I know I can,"
"Clear the way!" a voice cries from near the school. The crowd parts to reveal Saimad and he walks slowly towards us. I begin to tremble.
