Vi

When I woke up it was very bright almost to bright. I was getting up, but before I could sit up properly I heard a voice,
"Sweet gods don't get up."
The lady ran up the me and pushed me back in n the bed. I hadn't seen her here before which is weird because I know everyone. I shrug it off. I look over at the door when Jammie comes in.
"Oh Vi," they come over to me and wraps their arms around my neck picking me up as they do so,
"Thank Nyx your alive we all were so worried." They let go of me and sat down. We sat in silence for a while that was till I spoke.
"What happened to my dad." They looked down at their hands which gave me my answer. As I understood I started to cry more like sobbed. My dad had been with me for so long and now he was dead; when I needed a home from the streets he was the one to take me in, he understood me as a person, he loved me as though I was his own, but now... Now his gone. Jammie got up and hugged me as they shushed me. It kinda helped but not that much. I wrapped my arms around them and continued to sob into their chest as they stroke my head. After a hour or so of crying
I stop. I'm so pathetic. I back away from Jammie's chest and look at them.
"I'm sorry." They looked at me confused at first, but then their face turned into understanding,
"Oh no Vi its fine. You lost your dad its expected." They wave their hand disapprovingly. A staff member that I didn't know again came in; he seemed odd not someone that would be here.
"Ahh Vi you're awake. I'm Doctor Smith one of the newmen's doctors."  Newmen, newmen. I know I heard that name somewhere but where.
"You seem fine just high blood levels, but were going to keep you here to make sure you're ok,". He informed me. We both talked for a while for me to understand, and after that he left. I looked over at Jammie who looked down at the ground.
"Jammie where the hell am I and why,". I didn't understand at all why I was here or where here was.
"You're in the newmen kingdom," they said after they looked up at me.
"After your dad... Dropped to the ground so did mean others. You wouldn't have had gotten the proper care needed so I brought you here."
God this person!
"And newmen?"
I tried to make it clear I didn't know what they were talking about.
"Shapeshifters."
They looked down ,almost like they were ashamed, at their hands. Wait what! I've heard so many stories of the newmen ,also known as the shapeshifters, that they are dangerous, they like to eat children. I'd have nightmares of them, but the man that just came in didn't look anything like the stories. He was tall, lanky, had long, curly, red hair, and green eyes he looked human. To think the things... people? That use to give me nightmares look so human. I start shaking my head. How am I here Jammie is a human so she couldn't carry me in. I look over at Jammie.
"How I'm I here." Jammie looked up as I asked.
"I carried you in," before I could ask anymore they got up, told me to rest and left. Something's up for sure.
