I just woke up in the middle of the night and I didn't see my supposed father in the cave. I looked for him outside but he wasn't there. I got worried but I couldn't do much. I went inside the cave and sister for him. While I was waiting some kids came to the cave to play some games. Somehow these kids knew who I was and called me cursed. They grabbed some rocks and throw them at me. All they screamed was get out of are home!and your cursing up this land leave! I stayed inside the cave and did nothing even when the rocked where hitting my face I just sat there. Jackie saw me in the cave and she grabbed a stick. she came closer and got ready to hit the kids with the stick she picked up. "don't do it Jackie!" I screamed at her. she was behind the kids ready to hit them. she looked at me while putting down the stick. the kids looked behind them and said "there's another cursed girl! she's a witch! her mother and father probably hated having a child who was a witch!" she throw the stick at one of the boys and started punching another boy. the last boy was trying to get her off the other boy but couldn't. she kept punching the boy over and over with tears in her eyes. I walked towards her and took her off the boy. I carried her inside the cave and hugged her. "I hope you die witches! your all cursed! I'm telling my mom your still alive!" the boys said running away. Jackie sat on my lap crying. All I could say was "it's going to be ok." She wiped her tears away and started to stand up. "I have to go back to big brother. I told him I was using the bathroom. See you later big sis." Jackie said leaving. I waved goodbye with a few years in my eyes. I hope when I leave they won't suffer anymore. My supposed father still wasn't back. where could he be? and those annoying kids are going to tell the village that I'm still alive. I need to leave today in the morning.
