"Slow down," Silas called out, chasing me along the dock. 

Chepi dodged between my legs, making me stumble, but thankfully I steadied myself avoiding making a spectacle.

Looking at Fiona, you'd think she was only our big sister, not looking a day over thirty. Only when she spoke I remembered she was old enough to be our great-grandma. 

"Where are we going now?" I asked, feeling my feet rock beneath me.
