SAVE ME

Chapter 15

Morgan Smith

When we got there, the children had a mix of surprise and excitement when they saw all that was brought for them. The giggling that filled the air, jumping around with some church members as they explained how their day went, and playing with some of the toys brought to them was a nice and peaceful sight.

It seems like they come here often as the children are really fond of them.

A little girl, seven or eight, with golden brown hair tied in pigtails, wearing a blue and white ankle-length gown, and holding a lollipop came up to me with a huge grin on her face. I returned the smile and bent to her level.

"What's your name honey?" I asked and she looked at her lollipop before answering me.

"My name is Angela, what's your name?" she asked me the same question and I chuckled.

"Hi Angela, my name is Morgan," I introduced "How are you?" I asked her.

"I am doing fine, how are you too?" she asked back.

"I am good too" I smiled and she put her lollipop in her mouth as she looked behind her. "You are very pretty Angela," I said to her and she turned to me, giving me a toothy grin.

"Thank you, you are very beautiful too" she answered shyly "Do you want some?" she gestured to her lollipop and I shook my head 'no'.

"Thank you and no, I am fine" I replied to her and she nod "Your favorite flavor?" I asked and she nods her head again.

"Pastor Daniel has been coming here before I was brought here to give us gifts and many more, he also tells us about his very good friend, JESUS who loves all the little children of the world" she grinned as she said them to me.

I could see the excitement in her as she spoke those words to me, she also taught me the song about JESUS and his love for the children, I think I heard that in Sunday school while growing up.

It was fun learning something from her then a question came to me.

"Thank you for sharing all these with me" I thanked and she grinned. "You said you were brought here, do you know your family?"

"No, I don't. I grew up here since I was a baby, I guess" she shrugged "But Bianca told me that Pastor Dan has been operating his ministry for a long time now and this place isn't the only place he goes to. I know that he blesses people and children both in town and out of town. He is a really nice man, a GOD sent like she'll say" she tells me and I nod my head.

"That's great to hear, have you told Pastor Daniel how grateful you are?"

"Yes, we do that always and yesterday was my birthday"

"Oh, happy birthday, how old did you turn?" I asked and she showed me her five fingers then four.

"Nine, I turned nine yesterday" she grinned "You know there's this monthly birthday that is been done here like if you are born in January, at the end of the month, a party will be thrown for all celebrants of that month but we get gifts on our respective birthday, that is just a family thing here"

"Really? That's nice" I said to her and pinched her cheek lightly which made her giggle.

"I need to go play with the other kids, see you around Morgan" she waved at me and ran outside to meet the other kids.

She looked happy, even when she didn't know her real parents or family, she isn't even aware if they were killed just like mine, they left her or whatever but she is just happy.

"Oh, there you are Morgan" I turned to the voice of Ann "You met with Angela already?" she asked when she looked outside and saw Angela and some other kids playing together.
