Dragged Along
Kaizer and Alistair talk amongst themselves, leaving me out of all conversation. I dig my fingers into the sand, unable to think straight. Okay, I'm on an island, there are Demons. Demons! I have to say, I expected big, scary, multiple arms and legs, gaping mouth, that kinda stuff, but they look just like humans. Those eyes though. They look straight into you, also they can 'smell' your fear. I don't know how I feel. All I want to do, is cry. Maybe I should. It's not like I'm in a conversation, am I? I begin to cry. Allowing every tear as it falls. Both of the Demons stop talking and stare at me."Do something," Kaizer mutters.
"But she hates me," Alistair mutters back.
"But she hates me even more, remember the greedy eyes?"
"Uh yeah,"
"Plus, you dragged me out here to find it, so you gotta deal with this... this, uh.."

Why does he value my survival? He's a Demon, he's not like me. I'm always an outcast, I have no friends at school. I isolate myself, on my own little planet. I'm happy there, by myself, friends are something I've never thought of. All I do on my phone is games, I don't think I've ever opened the message app. "I am aware that you don't want to come with us, Emalin Amesteine, but we can protect you,"
"Wait, what?!" Kaizer interrupts. Kaizer and Alistair start their constant fighting. I don't want to go with them, but I also don't want to be eaten by a Demon.
"I've.. I've made up my mind," I say eventually. "I'll..."
