Helena's POV

I smile at the boy wading in the sea, and I am immediately calmed by the oceans scent. He smiles back, before spotting something over my shoulder. I turn and stare. My hand starts to shake. I run to catch up with the group. Whatever they are, the bird women, are definitely following me. I want to throw up. I don't know who they are, but they start to follow me along the beach, and towards the cliff. I stumble of my shoe laces, and fall into Lacy Drew. She turns a scowls at me, before resuming her conversation. I head towards the middle of the group, hoping it's a coincidence. I hope the bird women aren't looking at me funny. But they are. I start to breathe heavily. A clap of thunder disrupts my thoughts.

"Okay everybody!" Our teacher, Ms Greene yells, "Change of plan, back on the beach, back on the beach everybody!"

We all begin to shuffle towards the beach when Lacy Drew, with a mean smirk, shoves me over. Nobody notices that I am a few metres behind the rest of the group. Nobody apart from the bird women. I scream, and cover my face with my arms as they charge.
