In the distance, I could Isadora's mother shouting at Isadora. Obviously, I wasn't meant to leave the tent. She pushed Isadora and I sped up, shouting at her to stop. Isadora looked up at me and made random hand gestures. I shrugged and continued to run. As I came closer, I could pick out what Isadora's mother was saying: 'You are not fit to be heir to this farm! You let her escape, She wasn't meant to see this! Now we have to tell her!'
She moved to hit Isadora as I ran into her, slamming her into the ground.
The next few minutes passed in a hazy blur. People shouted, my head pounded. I was lifted up and dragged across the ground, then dropped and covered in water. The freezing water should have cleared my head but instead it clouded my vision and made my thoughts fuzzy. I felt the world slipping away and I let it, too confused to care.
