She May be Evil

Chapter 19 King

Circe stills as she looks down the ally and she looks like she's thinking about something.

She sighs and calmly sways back and fourth while breathing in Syrians hair and rubbing his back. "They still need clothes," she glances at the kids in our arms. "All we've done is shopped for toys."

She looks back to me, "after that we can go home."

Home, she said home. That makes my heart swell and my whole body heats up.

I silently nod and start walking behind her when she moves.

Circe enters the clothing shop for kids and puts Syrian down, immediately going through the racks and picking anything and everything out for the kids.

"Put her down." She says to me.

"Let them both go around and pick what they like, make sure it looks like it fits them." She tells me as she finds shoes for them, grabbing Syrians leg and shoving the shoe on him to make sure it's his size.

Nodding to herself she takes it off him and grabs the huge pile of clothes she's accumulated and throws it on the counter.

Seri sees these cute big poofy dresses and pulls me along by grabbing my pinky.

"This one," she points to a yellow dress, "that one," she points to a blue one, "and those three." She points to a black, red and dark green one.

I pick them off the hanger as she points them out, then she runs towards the matching jacket for these dresses and points them out. Along with tiny earmuffs that will fit her small head.

Next to that I spot matching gloves and shoes so I pick those up, bending down to put multiple sizes on her foot until I find the ones that fit her perfectly.

Since we're in the formal section I pick out some little suits for Syrian, and there the same colors as Seri's dresses so they'll match, it'll be so cute.

I look across the store to see Circe grabbing small weapons off the wall, I jump up to my full height.

"Um Circe? I don't think the kids need weapons." I fidget with my fingers.

She glances at me before she puts some stuff back. "I'll put these backs but I'm still getting them little knives, I'll teach them how to use them later."

She puts two throwing knives then two raven claw fighting knives and puts them on the counter of our ever growing pile.

She quickly grabs some fighting clothes for them and pajamas.

I quickly put the suits and dresses next to the pile along with the shoe collection we've bought them.

We both take a simultaneous step back and look over the clothes, "did we get everything?" I ask

She snaps her fingers, "underwear and socks."

I nod.

We silently walk down the road together side by side.

Seri still in my arms while Syrians in hers, both of them knocked out from shopping.

Seri drooling on my shoulder and her arms slumped, while Syrians hands are gripping Circe like his life depends on it.

Circe thought it was better to walk because it was such a nice day.

But I can't help but have a bad feeling. That guy earlier in the ally way disappeared as soon as we looked away.

"I have to leave tomorrow." She suddenly says.
