Nanowrimo Day 17: ~17k

A girl with dark bangs covering her eyes spoke up, "Do you live with the nuns?  Your dress is absolutely sinful."

    The boy with the freckles said, "Is that blood on your dress?  Have you been eating wild animals?"

    "Please, I am in danger," Dawn said to no one in particular.  She walked along the group in a crouched, hunched way.  The kids began to circle her as they moved along, slowly absorbing her into their center.  "Where are you all going, may I ask?"

    "We are going to school," said the freckled boy, "where they teach us not to be slobs and sleep in the woods and eat wild animals."

    "Do you bite off their heads and drink their blood?" inquired a short girl with silky brown curls and thin-rimmed glasses.

    "I bet she eats off their penises!" said the tall strawberry blond girl.

    "She eats their doody!" laughed the small, mousy boy, and a few around him giggled and gasped.

    "I do not eat animals," said Dawn defiantly.  "I came from the mission up the road."
