Some kids ran out of the building that we were coming close too. They looked to be between the ages 10 to 15. One was a girl who appeared to be 13; she had long blue hair and matching piercing blue eyes. She was holding a wooden sword that she seemed to be practicing with. Another girl, who appeared to be the oldest, had short blonde hair and green eyes. She had a frightful look on her face, like she didn't know what to do. The last one was a boy who appeared 10. He had black hair and was a little chubby around the stomach, but I would assume he would loose his chubby stomach once he trained enough.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“So… Patrick… You spend all your time with these kids?” I asked.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Yea… These kids will become one of the best fighters in all Runescape!” He proclaimed, grinning.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Going a bit overboard, are we?” I said, giving a smug smile.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Can't we at least hope?” Patrick laughed and waved to the kids who stopped right in front of us.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The boy took my hand and gave a little bow. “Miss, my name is Pez.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“You're very polite for your age,” I complimented him.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I noticed his face got a little red and he backed away a few steps.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Patrick gave Pez's head a few pats. “He's one of the most polite ones around here.” Patrick motioned to the blue haired girl. “This is Alica, and Calina, the oldest student I have around here. Everybody, this is Aay.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I shook their hands and gave them smiles. “So you guys ready for the competition tonight?” I asked them.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Alica grinned. “Been workin' all night to get ready.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“You good at them?”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Good? No, she's great,” Pez said. “She's one of the best ones here.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Patrick nodded, agreeing with him. “Calina, who are we competing against?”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Its going to be us kids against you, Miss Aay, and your friends against us kids.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“That's harsh,” Patrick said. He looked at me. “The kids are the best at tongue twisters.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I've never really done a tongue twister in my life, so I didn't have a clue about how good I was.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Patrick started walking toward the building. “Has the guest room been prepared for Aay?”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“We did prepare one for her,” Calina said.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Patrick handed my bags to the kids. “Would you take this then and I'll introduce Aay to my friends.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The kids agreed and Patrick and I left.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
We met one fellow along the path, and Patrick pointed out that this fellow was Twaksak, one of his friends. He had shoulder length brown hair and blue eyes. He was wearing flashy clothing that sort of… made him stand out.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“How'da do,” Twaksak asked me.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 12.50mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I said I was just fine.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 12.50mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Ready for the competition?” Patrick asked.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 12.50mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“You bet! Crimson, Greenwolf, and Lta are ready too and waiting by the fountain down there, where it'll take place, and Jackbmck an Sara are going to meet us down there. Some people all the way from Varrock joined us too.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 12.50mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I froze. “From… Varrock?”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 12.50mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Patrick also had a shocked expression, and a smile came to his lips. “This'll be great.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 12.50mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I gave a small laugh. I expected that I would see some very familiar faces once I got there…
</p></div>

“Go for it Webbuu!” I screamed. All around us were our friends from Varrock, who all seemed to be enjoying themselves, except for Shadow, who stood scowling by the wall. All that had joined from Varrock was Otaku, Blitzer, Webbuu, Silver, Spirit, Calladus, and Kid Mental. Most of them didn't compete but Webbuu, Blitzer, Otaku, and Kid Mental wanted to give it a try.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
For Patrick's friends over here, the people competing were Tigerlilly, Twaksak, Crimson, Lta, Greenwolf, Sara, Jackbmck, Patrick, and myself. Calina, Pez, Alica, and many other kids were competing against us, and we were losing, sadly.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The number one rule about this game: If you mess up more than five times, you're disqualified.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Webbuu opened his mouth to speak. “Do we have to say the translation after this?”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Yea, that sounds about right, but only if you know it… actually, you'll get an extra point if you say the translation, and you have to say it in one try,” Alica said, grinning and crossing her arms.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Webbuu groaned then cleared his throat. “All right, here goes nothing…” He looked at a piece of paper in his hands. “Bituka binili sa butika ng, ng…” he shook his head and tired again. “Bituka binili sa butika ng ospital binasura dalinas…” He groaned and started again. “Bituka binili sa butika ng ospital binasura dahil nasira at tinapon sa basurahang bakal.” He grinned. “There! I said it.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Go for the Basic translation!” Crimson said.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Webbuu cleared his throat again. “Intestine bought from a hospital boutique and thrown away because it decayed and thrown away at a metal trash can.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Feh, that wasn't so hard,” Alica commented, frowning.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“But you said so yourself that they would be an extra point! Two points for our team!” I said.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
It was now Pez's turn. We handed him a piece of paper and I could see he took a nervous gulp. “Ok, here goes… Sumomo mo momo… momo, mo momomo, ack!” Pez started again. “Sumomo mo momo, momo mo momo, sumomo mo momo momo… gah!” He kept on messing up, but on the fifth try, I think he succeeded. “Sumomo mo momo, momo mo momo, sumomo mo momo mo momo no uchi.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I smacked my head. He got it.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
His group cheered him on for an extra point by saying the translation. He cleared his throat and started: “A Japanese plum is a kind of peach, a peach is also a peach, both Japanese plum and peach are kind of peaches.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
He got it. The Basic translations for the foreign ones weren't that hard.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Alright! The teams are tied!”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“ME NEXT!” Kid Mental shouted and jumped up.
</p></div>

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The other group handed him a piece of paper. “Alright! Zeven Zavenemse zotten zullen zes… how in the WORLD do you pronounce this? Zeven… Zavenemse… Zotten… Zullen.. Zes…”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The kids started shouting, “You have to say it as fast as you can!”

Kid Mental looked at them angrily. “Shh!! How am I supposed to get this if I don't sound it out first!”
</p></div>

Kid Mental took a sip of a beer and looked angrily at the kids. “Who says so!?”
</p></div>

“You're disqualified,” Alica declared.

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Kid Mental threw a fit and we had to drag him down.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“That's enough beer for you, Mental,” Bitzer said, Calladus who was helping drag Kid Mental down nodded, agreeing with Blitzer.

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Twaksak came up. “I'll go in his stead.” They handed him a piece of paper and he cleared his throat. “Sannie se Sarel sal sewe sakke sout sleep, swew sakke sout is swaar so waar.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I grinned. “It seems you know that one.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Twaksak laughed. “Its my own language.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The kids shouted, “What?”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Twaksak continued on with the translation, “Sannie says that Sarel will drag seven bags of salt, seven bags of salt are really heavy.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
We easily got two points thanks to Twaksak.

It was Calina's turn next. She didn't want to try a foreign twister so we just gave her a Basic one.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Calina started: “Bitsy bits of burnt bear broiled by bubbly barbecued beef bones.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
She got it on one try and she got a point.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
It was Patricks turn next. He glanced nervously at me and then was handed a paper.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Come on, Patrick! You can do it!” I shouted.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
He coughed and looked at the kids. “You guys gave me a super long one.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The just laughed.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Ok…” Patrick began.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
It was hard to make out what he was saying, and this was the farthest he got on his tongue twister: “Er waren eens twee nachtwachten, een voor-middernacht-nachtwacht en een na-middernacht- nachtwachhhht. De voor-middeancu…” He sighed. “I give up. I can't pronounce this.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Some people in our group booed but the kids cheered. “At least try to say the translation!” some people shouted.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Patrick said it perfectly: “There once were two nightwatchmen, a before-midnight-nightwatchman and an after-midnight-nightwatchman. Thee before-midnight-nightwatchman said to the after-midnight-watchman: “ “ If you take the before-midnight-nightwatch, I'll take the after-midnight-nighttwatch.” “ “ “Okay” “ said the after-midnight-nightwatchman to the before-midnight-nightwatchman “ “I'll take the before-midnight-nightwatch then you take the after-midnight-nightwatch.” “ and so it happened that the before-midnight-nightwatchman took the after-midnight-nightwatch and the after-midnight-nightwatchman took the before-midnight-nightwatch.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Wow,” I commented after everyone was silent. “You're pretty good at the Basic ones.”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Another kid went that didn't make it through the first try. I volunteered to go next, and I could hear the kids giggle as they gave me the paper.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
I looked at it and sighed. I didn't even know how to pronounce it. But I sighed and started. “Sen-goku-goku-go-tsu-bu-tsu… ack…” I started again. “Sen-goku-goku-go-tsu-bu-tsu-bu-tsu-bushi-o-o-o ACK!” I couldn't get it. I failed after the 5<sup>th</sup> try and sat back down next to Patrick.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Otaku was next on the list of our group, and once she got to go, I started to smell smoke.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Patrick… do you smell that?” I asked him.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Patrick sniffed the air then his eyes opened wide. “The clan house!”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Everyone shouted and the kids screamed once they noticed the smoke. The smoke did indeed come from the direction of the clan house.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Patrick shouted to the kids, “Stay here! Calina, you stay here and do NOT let any kids out of your site. Aay, you stay…”
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
“Patrick, I'm a grown woman. I'm going,” and with that, I headed off, Otaku and Blitzer following me.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Patrick soon caught up with me and we raced toward the burning building.
