章 200: 4.10

"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. 

"Naughty girl," I scolded, scooping her up into my arms.

Looking over at the brand-new town before me, I felt my heart ready to burst from my chest in excitement. 

To celebrate our eighteenth birthday, Fiona promised to take us on a trip to the Mainland. She was after gathering some supplies, so the two happily coincided with each other. 

"Land, sweet, glorious land," Fiona grumbled, carrying a large bag behind us. 

"Why are you kids so fast?" She complained, finally catching up.

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.
