A stalemate had been reached between the pair where no one was willing to back down. Emily was afraid they would start throwing hands at each other, but Rika proved she was a saint, even at that young age.
She took in a deep breath and calmed herself down.
"What do you want from me? Is it money? Food? Whatever you want, I will give it to you."
Rika offered, and at four years old, she seemed to know the concept of bribery pretty well. But Damian, once again, proved to be a problem.
"I want your time. You seem interesting, like a small bunny. I like that about you. I want you to be mind."
Damian asked, but his eyes did not look away from Rika when he made this demand.
Even at seven years old, Damian's presence made him the center of attraction. He seemed pretty dominant for a kid, but his attitude pricked Emily.
She looked at Rika's uncomfortable expression, and Emily instantly knew that she needed help getting her out.
