The Fox Girl: Chapter 7


Samuel looked at the village of fox hybrids surrounding the headquarters. Why would anyone want to destroy something so beautiful? The whole village seemed to be scared, as if a great and powerful "beast" were to emerge from the woods. But the strange thing was the fact that when he passed, the foxes would stop their conversation, glance sternly at him, then continue their conversation. He felt like he was the odd one, even though it was usually Jayde to be that way, but she actually seemed to be happy here.
><><><><><><><><
A few minutes later, they finally got to the headquarters. But the moment was rudely interrupted when some of Jayde's old "friends" Samantha and Kylie came out of nowhere and stopped Jayde in her tracks.
"Where do you think you're going?" Samantha said, pulling Samuel away from the hybrids.
"I'm home, and I'm about to enter it, but I plan to come back once my duties here are done," Jayde responded. And from there, the two human girls, and Jayde along with two hybrid girls and one hybrid boy started to fight. Samuel was fighting for the humans, not exactly knowing what else to do.
><><><><><><><><
"JAYDE, WE WON'T PUT UP WITH THIS!" Samantha shouted.
"But I'm sure everyone--," Jayde started.
"PICK A SIDE JAYDE!" Kylie snapped. If those words were claws, Jayde would've been dead. She stumbeled back, unaware of the desision. Who would she fight for? She looked at the hybrids, their eyes filled with tensity. She looked back at her old friends, and they looked at her eagerly. Who should she pick?

Comment which side you would pick!!!

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter 
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
 by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they 
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may 
 be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my 
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
