In a far off land, I feel the wind against my skin, cold and crisp. Wrapped in a blanket of clouds. It feels real and yet it doesn't.
Mom, do we have to let her go? She's so small. Can we keep her?
No dear, her parents may be looking for her. We must call for the guards and have them look into where she came from." Where have I heard this voice before? I asked in my head not knowing if they could hear me.
But you can't bear any more children! And me and Jaden really want a little sister! Right Jaden? The child wines.
Mason. The kind Woman says. We have to return her to her family. We cannot keep her. You can play with her for now, but we must return her to her family later when we find them. Right Dear
Your mother is right Mason, Jaden we cannot just keep a random child for no reason. Besides your grandparents would have a fit.
But aren't they old and cranky anyways? What's the point in entertaining the way?
Jaden, that is extremely rude! Their Man yelled. Regardless, they are still your grandparents and deserve your respect.
I thought you said respect, was earned not given! Besides, if they didn't wanna be treated or have people think of them that way then why do they treat Us that way?! Especially when you say we should treat others the way we want to be treated. I'm only doing as I'm told.
The man was taking a back by his statement, but nodded. I suppose we did teach you that. But still, you can feel this way in private just don't be surprised if they lash out at you because of your behavior you know how your grandparents are.
Yes, father. Said both the boys.
Well, let's take her inside and get her cleaned up. It looks like the poor thing has been walking for quite a while. And is probably quite hungry.
All right, dear at least she'll be safe with us. Come on now little one, let's get you cleaned up.
The smell of flowers failed my nose a light, distant perfume from the woman. It felt warm like a cloud.
This was the first encounter I had with them, It was so long ago it feels like I have almost forgotten how kind they were.
If only they would come back to life.
