Holy I

-You should release his hand if you do not want to be compromised. - Avon said.

Although he said it with a smile, I could feel the anger in his words. Yes, he was still upset about what had happened in class.

Helge seemed very embarrassed by Avon's words, he let go of my hand quickly and ran towards his house, without even saying goodbye. When the three of us were left alone, the situation again felt uncomfortable and tense. I felt like I should apologize since the whole situation was my fault after all.

-Quinn, I am deeply sorry I put you in that situation, I promise not to act so arbitrarily in the future, and thank you very much for taking the blame for me. - I said, trying to sound as sincere as possible and even made a small bow.

-Don't worry, you are my younger sister, and I must take care of you, and I also wanted to know this new cooking method. Quinn replied, not smiling, but his words sounded genuine.

- It was very irresponsible of you! Why do you think you are in this house? You came here so that my brother and I would be safe, and if you are not able to fulfill that one task it is better that you go back to the forest where you came from. What do you think is the punishment that my brother could have had? He could have been exiled from the tribe! If you do not know how to act, it is better that you stay at home locked up. - Avon added, to later run away.

Quinn ran after him, and I just made it back to the house. Upon entering, I continued to my room and sat on the bed. I do not quite understand the reason for Avon's outburst. Why were they in danger? How was I to be the key to their salvation? I do not understand anything, but one thing was for sure, it had something to do with the priestess. Her flirting with my dad, the way Avon looks at her, and her icy gaze toward Quinn today. It seems that I must be careful with her if I want to go home safely.
