Autumn POV


As we got closer to the city the Man picked me up carrying me, sure it was late but there were a lot of people on the streets,

And since I'm small I guess he didn't want to risk losing me,

Not long did we come to a place that was huge and oddly shaped, I tilted my head not understanding

"It is the Palace," The man said

He adjusted me on his hip and continued to walk in

"My King?" A woman with a spear said

The spear frightened me, mommy told me what they could do, I squirmed out of the man's grip and Hid behind his leg looking at the spear,

I felt my eyes glow,

"It's alright Okoye," The man said

she put her spear up in a non threatening way,

"Her eyes," Okoye said

"They are yellow," She said

The man looked down at me surprised

"it's alright little one you are safe," The man said

Then another woman walked over to us,

"T'Challa what is the meaning of this?" She said looking younger than him,

"Shuri I found her," T'Challa said

"What do you mean you found her?" Shuri asked

"It's a bit of a tale but first do you think you could?" He looked down at me,

I had one hand on his leg gripping it,

They smelled non threatening but I wasn't so sure, mommy always told me if a human smelled bitter they are threatening,

Even if they don't smell bitter always be cautious, some humans fake being your friend,

Shuri kneeled down,

"It's alright I'm not going to hurt you, why don't we change you out of those clothes they don't seem to fit anymore," She said nicely

I buried my head in the back of T'Challa's knee,

"She seems quite attached to you my king," Okoye said

"Let's take this conversation elsewhere," He said

He held out his hand I hesitantly took his hand,

We went into a tiny box and it made me really nervous,

Shuri hit a button and the box started moving, I held T'Challa's leg for dear life, since it was moving,

The two people looked at me confused,

"I will explain once we get down to the lab," He said

They both nodded once the box stopped moving I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding in,

the doors opened and we all walked out,

He kneeled in front of me,

"Little one why don't you go with Shuri she is my sister she will take good care of you okay," He said

I hesitated

Shuri held out her hand, I sniffed it both her and Okoye looked at T'Challa confused

Then I took her hand and she led me away,


T'Challa POV


"Mind explaining my King?" Okoye said

So I explained the situation how I found the child in the woods in a cave, how a tiger that was killed was mothering the child, how the child doesn't speak or trust very much,

"Oh the poor thing," Okoye said

"I'll say," Shuri said walking in holding her hand,

"Much better," I said seeing the child in suitable pajama's that fit,

"Much better," I said seeing the child in suitable pajama's that fit,

"Brother she's very petite and under weight," Shuri said

"When did you weigh her?" I asked

"And how?" Okoye said

"Just took the right bait," Shuri said

I look down and see the child eating a piece of a cookie,

After she ate the cookie, she rubbed her eyes,

I cautiously picked up the child,

"We'll talk about this later," I said as I walked off with the child in my arms,

Her eyes blinked slowly, she was clearly fighting sleep, poor child has had a eventful day,
