It had been 10 hours since the tornado had struck the town of Nookville, and now all that was left was debris.

Sapphire was asleep on the ground, battered and bruised from the wind. She coughed herself awake and began to feel slight movements in her stomach. "Hope...Hope, you're alive!" She shouted with relief.

She then stood up to her full height

and surveyed the destruction all around her.

Buildings shredded into splinters, streets flooded with carpets of wood and metal, shrouds of fine grey dust that covered everything, and their was only a handful of other animals in the town. The only remains of the ones who fell victim to the tornado were their clothing.

"My God..." She Whispered.

"Sapphire!" Isabelle called, Sapphire turned her head to the right. "Over here! Mayor Sapphire, if you hadn't warned us to climb up to our rooftops, we would all be dead."

Sapphire ran over to a small group of injured residents. "How many survivors?" She asked.

"Just a few of us. And Mr. Tom Nook." Isabelle replied. Tom Nook waved at them with a scowl on his face.

With her face turning red with anger, Sapphire threw Tom Nook up against a dead tree and grabbed him by the shirt. "You son of a bitch!" She bellowed, causing Nook to flinch. "You had a chance to stop this! So help me, if we live through this, I'm gonna see you rot in prison!"

"What Do We Do Now, Mayor?" A little squirrel asked. "We aren't out of this yet!" Sapphire answered, She pointed at a goat and bear. "You two look for other survivors." She then pointed at Isabelle. "You get whatever food you can and bring it back here." The survivors nodded and ran off as commanded.

"Who put you in charge?!" Questioned Tom Nook, dusting off his suit.

With determination in her heart, Sapphire answered with, "God did! When he killed my husband!" She then turned her back and walked away.

Soon enough, More survivors were brought to the clearing, but 2 of them were dying.

"This isn't going to stop." Sapphire proclaimed. "The world is rejecting us! If we're going to live, we have to get off of this island."

"How?" Isabelle asked.

"First we have to get out of the forest, into the forbidden zone. It's the only way we might even see another island!" Explained Sapphire.

"The forbidden zone... We'll be exposed. We'll die out there." Said a cow with one arm in bandages.

"No!" Shouted Isabelle. "Mayor Sapphire is Right, We'll die here!" Isabelle looked around. "Look, the world is getting rid of us! Don't you get it?!"

A dog in the crowd spoke up. "Getting rid of us? Y-you mean like it knows what it's doing?"

"Yes! Because maybe we rolled the dice too many times!" Sapphire answered.

"I'm not leaving my sister." Said a kangaroo in the crowd. "I'll take my chances here." Said a little bird, as he rolled his eyes.

"Fine! You can all stay here; I'm going to try and save my baby!" Argued Sapphire, as she started to walk away.

Suddenly, Kicks the skunk, the local shoe salesman, ran over to Sapphire. "I'll go with you. There's nothing left for me here." Kicks chirped.

"So will I, Mayor!" Said Isabelle.

"I Would Like To Go Too." Said Tom Nook.

Sapphire shook her head. "Not a chance." She chided, folding her arms.

Tom Nook looked at her, worryingly. "Look, I know I messed up, all right? But I think you're right." He lied, "If we can get out of the forest, we might find another place to live."

Sapphire let out a heavy sigh, she knew that Tom Nook was not a very nice raccoon, but she also knew what was best. "...Fine!"

She turned to the crowd. "If we find anything, we'll try to send help for the rest of you." And then she turned to Isabelle and the others. "Let's Go!" She ordered.

Tom Nook turned his back as soon as they started walking. "Come on if you're coming, Mr. Nook!" Isabelle called.

"Yeah. Right behind you." Tom Nook replied, with a sneaky grin on his face, he pulled out a gun and cocked it.

But the others didn't know.
