Fake it till you make it - Lucathy

29 - Ruby

  'Finally!' I thought stretching my arms above my head.

  'I forgot how long those always took...' I sighed.

  Now was around 10 o'clock.

  I had spent nearly the entire day for that few minutes interview.

  'Your still outside, don't slouch.' my second voice scolded.

  I stood up straight and walked back home.

  "Athanasia?" I looked behind.

  'I don't see anyone...' I looked around.

  "Um..."

  'Huh....?' I looked down.

  'Oh! A little kid...' I squatted down.

  "Hey there. What's your name?" I asked.

  "I'm Rudy! Your miss athanasia right!?" The kid asked.

  "Yup! I'm the girl you see on TV." I said.

  "Wow! Miss you must be famous to be in TV right?" Ruby asked.

  "Well... Yeah..." I answered.

  I adored kids innocence...

  "My dada is famous too!" Ruby said.

  Her brown eyes seemed to shine.

  "Really!? What's he famous for?" I asked.

  "U-uhh... I'm not sure... But he wears a orange and black stripped shirt and is holding some sort of black sign board." Ruby described.

  'Is he...'

  "But can you believe it! My dada's famous too!" Ruby smiled.

  "Yes.... Yes he is..." I smiled back.

  'He's probably some kind of criminal...'

  "Where's your mummy?" I asked.

  "You mean mama? She's the-..." Ruby stopped and looked around.

  "Where is mama..?" Ruby looked around more.

  "Did mama... Disappear... Like dada..." Ruby said.

  Her hair was vibrant red.

  'She probably chased after me and lost her mom in the process...' I grabbed ruby's hand.

  I know what she was feeling right now.

  "Hey... Look at me... We are going to find Mama okay?"

  Ruby eyes were watery.

  "Come on!" I said.

  I held her hand that felt so small in mine.

  'It seems like there a festival going on.' judging from where ruby ran from there was alot of bright lights.

  'Theres candy here...' I thought about buying cotten candy for ruby.

  'Dont. It's a waste of money.' my second voice said.

  'But... She's just a kid... It'll help her...' I whined.

  'fine... $100 budget that's all you'll spend.' my second voice replied.

  I was in shock.

  For once my second voice and I negotiaed!

  "Hello sir?" I asked

  "Would you like a cotten candy for $5?" The men asked me.
