Chapter 15 - Little Rose

I wake up to see Joann's daughter poking me right on the big scar on my face with a look of extreme focus on her little face.

"Hey what are u doing kid" I say just before Rose screams and runs away saying"ahh scary guy's gonna eat me"

"I'm not gonna eat you" I say as I follow Rose out of my room and see her run behind Joann who is washing their laundry who says"what's going on luv"

"Mummy da scawey man's gonna eat me" she says while hiding behind Joann"Hahaha you're being silly luv. Jaeger ain't gonna eat ya he's mummy's friend and this is his castle so he's kinda like a prince" Joann says while pulling Rose in front of her.

"Are you really a prince mister" Rose asks while looking up at me with the cutest expression ever.

While thinking about it for a minute I say "yes I am a prince because the spirits of the forest trust me to lead them"

"Yay mummy is friends with a prince"she says while hopping around and smiling.

"Tell me Rose do you like animals" I ask with a slight smile"yes I love animals but mummy says I can't have a pet because I can't feed it" Rose says while pouting. I give Joann a look to ask permission and she shrugs at me to say she's ok with my decision so I say to Rose "Rose how would you like to have your very own pet"Really I can have a pet oh thank you mister Jaeger" she squeals in delight.

I look at Joann and say "don't worry I keep her near the small animal pens so she doesn't pick anything too dangerous ok Joann" I say as I kiss her on the lips and toss Rose on my shoulders while we move towards the animal pens.

When we reach the animal pens I put Rose down and tell her"ok now you can pick any creature in this section but think hard about which one you want because these creatures are much smarter than normal animals and won't like being put back after being chosen ok" she nods"ok Jaeger I understand"

Rose spends about a half hour searching for a creature and finally decides on what my list says is a earth raptor which I don't recognize but it looks like an armored bird mixed with a lizard and seems a little aggressive at least towards me but it hops into her arms while chirping cutely and rubbing her with it's face.

"Rose are you sure that's the creature companion you want " she answers "yes I love him and his name is Peachy"

"Ok Rose I'm just gonna poke your finger and write on his head so you have a contract"as I reach over with the needle I see a flash of light after which Peachy is sleeping in Rose's arms and he's gotten at least twice a big so he's as big as a small dog now.

"Wow Rose Peachy formed a mutual soul seal with you so there's no need for the needle so let's go home"

After going back to Joann's room I hand her a small bed and some food for Peachy and a list of care instructions written by Althea afterwards I leave and go to bed.
