âOh, wow! Thank you!â Elena replied happily, taking a snack from the little girl.
The latter didnât say anything more and ran off.
I watched her leave.
I couldnât shake the feeling that something was off.
Her behavior was a little strange.
Debraâs POV:
âMommy !â
As soon as Elena turned around, she saw Zoe and me standing behind her
She ran to us in surprise and threw her arms around my legs.
âWhatâre you guys doing here?â
Squatting down in front of her, I asked hesitantly, âElena, who was that little girl who gave you snacks just now?â
Elena smiled sweetly and replied, âSheâs my new friend, Betty.
Sheâs from the Thorn Edge Pack, but sheâs very kind and helps me a lot.
â
At that moment, something dawned on me.
âDo you get along with the other children from the Thorn Edge Pack?â
Elena lowered her head, Looking a little embarrassed.
âWell, they donât play with us much.
Only a few of them are willing to talk to usâlike
Betty.

From the way Elena described her, Betty sounded like a friendly girl
But why did she look so flustered a moment ago when she saw me?
âNo wonder you all played so seriously in todayâs game.
It turns out that you are all secretly competing!â
Elena nodded shyly.
Zoe patted Elenaâs shoulder and said with a smile, âFight hard, Elena.
I know you can defeat them.
That way, people from the Thorn Edge Pack wonât dare to look down upon Roz Town!â
Zoeâs words seemed to spark the competitive spirit in Elena, because her beautiful eyes shone suddenly.
âOkay!â
Then she put on an innocent expression and tugged at the corner of
Zoeâs shirt.
âZoe, can you hold the snack for me? I have to focus on the game later.
I canât focus if Iâm holding it.
â
âNo problem!â Zoe didnât hesitate to take the snack, but then a thought occurred to her.
