I took the wolf girl's hand and held it. Since there is a river near mine and Taffins place I'm gonna pick up some of our shampoo and body wash so I can show this wolf girl how to take a bath. " Come on sweetie I'll get you something to eat okay?" She nodded shyly. This girl is very skinny. You can see her bones. she must be underweight and that's not very healthy.
"BRINNY, BRINNY WHERE ARE YOU ARE YOU OK?" I hear Taffin screaming my name.
"BABE DONT WORRY IM RIGHT HERE " I yelled putting up my left hand shaking it around. I see a flashlight pointed in my direction while I squint my eyes from the sensitivity.
"Oh thank goodness you're safe I was worried half to death I'm not ready to go to hell to see my aunt June yet" she joked I laughed and playfully punched her.
"I'm sure your aunt can't be that mean" I giggled.
"oh yeah back when I was still a kid in texas my aunt would give me oatmeal for breakfest while everyone else got a whole goddanm five star meal it was no fair Danm it" she started ranting all I did was just stare at her with a dumb love strickened smile on my face she's she is just so beautiful. I snapped out of my daydream from the little wolf girl who tugged my shirt. I looked at her and then she smiled SO ADORABLE. ❤❤❤ what monster would abandon this cutie.
"umm Taffins so... I bought the little wolf girl here so we can clean her up and feed her and.." I started picking the back of my hair.
"Bri baby, why are you nervous? It's ok. I dont mind helping her. She seems to like you alot" Taffin said with a reassuring smile to back it up. Her hazel eyes staring at me look at me curiously. I took a deep breath.
"and I want to adopt her " Taffins eyes grew
"What Bri thats a huge decision we need to talk about this it's such a brash decision plus what if we're not ready to be parents what if I'm…. not ready to be a parent" Taffin grabbed my hand from her body language I can see that she a little angry and scared I just stared down at the floor silently. I'm not even thinking about the decision that much. I know it's brash but I can't just leave a child here especially since I'm a teacher all she needs is a little love. "Fine we'll talk about this in the morning good night" she said clearly annoyed I just nodded in agreement.
"Hey sweetie you let's go take you a bath" I grabbed my strawberry body wash and grabbed taffins shea butter shampoo and conditioner because her hair is more off of taffins texture then mine. I grabbed the girl's hand and made it to the private lake.
AFTER THE BATH
I gave the girl one of my tang tops and some pajama pants. She looks like a new person, her messy blue hair once stained with dirt sticks and other things now shining vibrantly. her face smudged with mud and oily is now cleaner than a whistle and her skin is a nice caramel color danm Bri bri you did a good job you just gave someone a makeover. I pat myself on the back and silently laugh at my silliness. I made some cups of noodles for me and the kid.
I smiled at how happy and relaxed she looked. It's all new to her. I came back and I fed her it because it's hot and I don't want her to burn her tongue. Since we don't have an extra sleeping bag I let her sleep between me and taffin. She curled up like an infant and I wrapped my hand around the girl and taffin body.
"You did it to yourself how dare you disobey me" *Slap* she slapped me with her bare hands as cold and callused as her heart. I thought I could change her so she would be a kind person. "you stupid slut how dare you"she grabbed me by the shoulders and kneed me in the stomach. I gasped for air not blood gurgling in my mouth now on the floor.
"I'm sorry please I'm sorry I'll make it up I swear I promise" I begged and pleaded but for some reason there were no coherent sentences coming out of my mouth, only sobs and a saliva blood hybrid coming out of my mouth. Even though I know this is wrong I cant help to not love her. She bends down our noses touching us.
"You know I love you so much so very much I only do this out of love besides NO ONE WILL EVER LOVE YOU BESIDES ME" a sinister smile on her face she licked her lips and started laughing as she grabbed them.
"NO GET AWAY GET AWAY PLEASE!"
I jumped up out of my tent in a cold sweat, my heart was racing , my head was pounding and every ounce of light made my eyes burn. I pulled my hair out of stress and I couldn't breath. Everything was on fire. "LEAVE ME ALONE!!" I screamed and cried "just leave me alone" I whispered. I then felt a pair of arms wrapped around my neck. I snapped my head forward defensively but it was only Taffin she hugged me. Her scent from her vanilla body wash was so calming she sang.
"Hey, diddle, diddle, The cat and the fiddle, The cow jumped over the moon; The little dog laughed To see such sport, And the dish ran away with the spoon." She sang softly over and over in my ear she nuzzled her face in my hair softly continuing singing.
"You know I'm just as scared as you" I whimpered
"Huh?"
