The  37  cold air had been blowing past me, freezing my limbs, but every second I  38 it. You could hear the faint  39  of the people up at the clubhouse eating their dinner. My parents were also there, not knowing that my little sister had slowly wandered her way down to the ring. It was  40 because there was no moon or stars. Nobody else was in the ring at the time.

As all of this happened I watched my sister’s face transform (变形) through many different  54 : terror, confusion, curiosity, and then a sort of relief. Then she was laughing.
As I held my sister into my arms, Skippy stood right behind me knowing that I actually owed him my life  55 he saved my sister’s.
