Meeting Ariel

Ok, so I decided to continue. Enjoy!

Sweat glisened on my smooth skin as I panted heavily. THe one thing that continued to baffle me was how persistent people were. One would think the villagers would have quit chasing me twenty minutes ago, but no. I laughed as I back pedalled from them, sticking my tongue out at them. When I started to fall back after tripping over a puddle of water, I was able to do a back flip to correct myself. I took off with a sudden burst of speed and never looked back.

What were they angry with me for today? WAs it spray painting my name all over the shrine? Maybe Yelling at the Gods in the temple? Ya, that was probably it. I wasn't considered 'normal' so they looked down on upon my being in there in the first place.

What was 'normal?' Normal to one culture isn't normal to another. What gave someone the right to decide for everyone else? People in this world are scared to think for themselves. They follow what the richest one has to say. People aren't an independent people, they depend on others so they can follow them.

And Gods? They don't exist! Aren't gods supposed to protect and watch over the people? Well, God wasn't watching out for me by killing my dad or making my mom walk out on me. No, if there was a God, he wouldn't have let that happen.

I ran down a side alley, hoping to skip over a fence, but I must have turned down the wrong alley- no fence, just a brick wall to high to jump.

The villagers turned down the alley, hoping to corner me. But a white tiger roared something fierce and they were practically climbing all over themselves to get away from me.

I shrugged as I walked back out of the alley, the same way I had come as people gave me curious looks. What? So a girl wasn't able to use her natural born gifts to help her out?
