Look After You…

Chapter 1
It was a normal day on my planet, Zaion. I was walking through a little village on the northwest side of the planet. The villagers glared at me and kept their distance. I cursed under my breath and looked down. I honestly didn't know why they were so afraid of me. I wasn't mean or powerful. In fact, I was just the opposite. I was shy; I hated drawing attention to myself. I quickly burst into a sprint to get away from their hateful eyes. As I was running, I bumped into someone, knocking them over. "Ah!" I exclaimed. A small child with yellow skin and deep violet eyes was gaping at me in fear. "I'm so sorry!" I grabbed his hand and pulled him up. A loud gasp sounded from the mob of people. "Eh?" He squeaked, wrenching his hand out of mine. "Don't touch me! I don't want your curse!" I smiled, even as tears filled my eyes. "I'm sorry…" I mumbled as I ran through the crowd, holding the tears back.
The place where I lived was across a river that had raging currents every moment of every day. I jumped easily across. I ran into the cave I called my home. I stopped right at the entrance and cried. "I'm not a bad person…! I'm not! I didn't ask for this stupid curse!" I cried until my sobs became sniffles. I fell into a dreamless sleep.
I heard a strange noise; like screaming. I tried to move, but something was holding me down. I tried to talk, but something was covering my mouth. "Mmmph! Mmm!" They dragged me out of the cave by my hair and threw me into the raging river. As I was being swept away, I saw the villagers accusing eyes. "You have given Chalok your curse! He has been sick ever since you ran into him earlier!" He's sick…? Because of me…?
I didn't cry for help. They wouldn't have listened anyway… I let the current take me…
