Anna was utterly insulted by his statement.  Though it was true, she hadn't thought about it till just then.  So they considered her unmanagable, that made the girl's heart sink.  She knew that not many adults were fond of her, but she never realized that the supossed "randomized" selection for the next sacrificed was rigged so that only the troublemakers could be sorted out.  It was like some sort of derranged clean up.  She felt her body slump at the thought that people most likely voted for this to happen to her.<br/><br/>She stayed silent the rest of the conversation, till he ordered her to leave.  She obeyed without a word, but not because he wanted her to leave.  Simply, because she wanted time to be alone and let that thought sink in. Was she really that intolerable amongst her fellow villagers?  She exited the bedroom and went back outside, the green grass flowing slightly from a light breeze. She sat in the grassy field outside the cottage and felt resentment start to build up towards the leaders of the village.  "I bet they wouldn't even care if I managed to kill the incubus......they would still think of me as a nuisance...." She muttered to herself as she hugged her legs and stared blankly off into the forest.  She had lost her sense of purpose at that moment.  No one would probably care that she was gone, except maybe her little sister.  The thought of her sister growing up in utter fear of being devoured came to her mind though.  Then an image of her parents crying over seeing another girl be sacrificed.<br/>'That's right....I still have people that I love that I need to protect...that's why I'm doing this..' she thought as she felt her heart lighten up a bit.
