She liked this person, decided Katie in her mind, seeing Sylvia pick a glass of water and place it on her side. Sylvia and Elliot were nice to her and hadn't been rude by labelling her as human. They were kind and had saved her from the creatures when they were on their way to the palace. She peeked towards the end of the table where Alexander sat, talking to an older man. He hadn't spoken to her as much as Sylvia and Elliot had, but he had saved her. She looked at him for several passing seconds until he looked at her making her drop her gaze.
Katie sat next to Elliot as she had her dinner, not looking up once as she feared to see the hatred being spewed from some of the people sitting in the room right now. She wanted her parents; thinking about them made her sad that they were never going to return to her. She clutched her nightdress, holding in the sob before it could pass through her delicate pink lips.
