"Don't say that" Amelia says in hysterics, her hazel eyes gleamed in the moonlight as her laugh eco's beautifully in my ears. I chuckle and hold my hands up in surrender. Her laugh dies down and I frown.

"Why'd you stop laughing, beautiful?" I ask, Still frowning.

"Shh" she hushes, Bringing her finger up to my lips. "Can you hear that?" I furrow my eyebrows together in confusion and Try to listen harder. My ears soon pick up some quiet sniffling and coughing coming from the playground

"Yeah" I respond, She grips onto my hand. "Babe, I'm scared" Her breath hitches.

I chuckle and kiss her forehead "Let's go check, Yeah?" she nods. We walk closer to the playground, the sniffling gets louder but no sign of anything or anyone yet. "Hmm" I hum in confusion. Amelia squeezes my hand.
"Don't worry" I laugh.

The sniffling soon turns into loud crying. I walk faster to the gates, still holding my frightened girlfriend's small hand. "I think it's a kid" she informs. I nod in agreement and push the creaky, little gate open and look over to the swings to detect a petite little blonde girl who must only be around two years old.

Amelia lets go of my hand and runs to the swing where this little figure sat, Tears flowing out her eyes.

"Hello" Amelia coos, I chuckle. The frightened bijou girl flinches and looks up.

"H-Hi" she sobs.

"What's your name, sweetie?" I ask softly, trying not to scare her.

"Mewody" she sniffles, holding her arms out. I politely take her in mine and lift her off the swing, she was so light, "Well, I'm Luke and this ugly monkey here is Amelia" I tease, melody giggles "Hi wuke, Hi ameewa"

"How old is Melody then?" I ask her.

She thinks for a little and holds three fingers up, "I a big giwl" she sniffles.

"You're three, Cutie" I say, Taking one of her small hands and playing around with it.

"Where is mummy and daddy?" Amelia asks, Probably shocked that Melody's parents let their three year old daughter be out this late.

Melody shrugs, "Mummy went away after she lost all her hair and we were in h- hostipal" she frowns.

"Hospital" I correct, "What about daddy?"

"Daddy huwt me, so I wan away" she sighs, she begins to sob at the thought.

"No, no sweetie don't cry" Amelia says, rubbing soothing circles on Melody's back.

"Well, How about Luke and Amelia take you back to our house and you can meet the rest of our friends.. Then tomorrow we'll ask if we can be your new Mummy and Daddy." I suggest, Amelia's eyes light up at the idea.

"Mkay" she sighs, "Pwomise you won't huwt me"

"Oh no, baby. We will never hurt you" Amelia smiles. Melody nods and yawns.

"We better get going" I say, adjusting the way Melody was sitting on my hip.

We make our way to my car and I open the back door, I place Melody on the back seat and buckle her up. Amelia hops onto the passenger seat and buckles her self up, I do the same and wrap my hands onto the steering wheel and pull off.

I feel someone lift me up from my seat and I flinch a little, my eyes open fully and I sigh in disappointment of being awakened from my soothing sleep, "Sorry, Sweetie" Amelia says.
