His Betrayal

Chapter(29)

 

Annabelle

Ellie was obviously tortured. She flinched or jumped at the littlest noises. It brought tears to my eyes because she was only a little girl, a child. That angered me. Whoever had the nerve to tarnish such a pure soul, had a dark past, present, and future. The sorrow that filled her eyes was because of great loss. She didn't deserve what she got. We were still in the living room and Ellie was looking at me fondly with what I believed was hope shining in her eyes. I mind linked Travis, Logan's dad. My pack, Colton's and I's, was able to mind link them since we joined their pack.

"Can I take her to get cleaned up?" He looked shocked that I was speaking directly to him,but nodded.

"When your done come back down here. We still need to discuss some things." I nodded. 

I stood up and lent out my hand to Ellie. She took my hand and clutched her teddy bear.

"Where going to get you cleaned up okay?" I told her softly. She nodded.

I took her into my room. She was tiny and probably around the age of ten. I went through my drawers. I found a t-shirt with a bunny on it. I grabbed the matching pajama bottoms. She was sitting on my bed and watching me, I smiled.

"I'll be right back, Okay?" She nodded.

I walked into the hall and opened one of the cabinets. I pulled out a towel and some extra clothes that would fit her. When I walked back into my room I saw her playing with her teddy bear. I couldn't imagine everything she went through. I was leaning on my door just watching her with a small smile on my face. She took notice of me and when she noticed me holding clothes for her she smiled timidly.

"Would you like to take a bath?" She nodded.

I walked into the bathroom and looked through the cabinets under my sink. I pulled out some body wash. I started the water and turned the nob on warm. I squeezed the soap bottle under the running water and bubbles started to form. I folded her towel on the edge of the tub and put her clothes on the toilet. I went back under the cabinet and grabbed some rubber ducks that she could play with. Kristy got me these awhile ago when she went on a trip to Bath and Body works. I loved that store my favorite scent was sweet pea. I put the cute yellow ducks in the water and they floated over the bubbles. I turned the water jets on low to help keep the bubbles going. I walked back out into my room. She was laying on my carpet just looking at her teddy bear with her head on her crossed arms, deep in thought.

"Your bubble bath is ready." She looked up and smiled. It was small, but still a smile.

She walked inside and put her teddy bear on the counter. I examined the teddy bear closely, it looked familiar. Then it hit me, I have the exact same one. It's in better condition off course, but the same one. I asked if she needed any help. She shook her head. I closed the bathroom door with one last smile, then headed to my closet. I looked through my clothes, I pushed some clothes that were hanging to the side, it revealed some nick naks and my teddy bear that looked like Ellie's. I never really used it anymore and it just sits here, so I thought, 'hey why not give it away?' About ten minutes later, Ellie came out of the bathroom she was wearing the pj's I picked out for her. They were slightly baggy but still fit her. She was holding the raggy clothes she came in. I took the clothes and put them in my dirty hamper. I was holding the teddy bear behind my back.

"Okay, I found something that I think you will like." I pulled the teddy bear out from behind my back and she gasped.

"Do you want this one instead of the other one?" She nodded eagerly with a smile on her face. I gave it to her and she hugged it. I smiled, at least she could be happy here. I went into the bathroom and got the old teddy bear. I put it in my bathroom trashcan, and went over to the tub. I drained the water, turned off the jets, and rinsed the tub. On my way out I grabbed a small pink brush and a scrunchy. I turned the lights off and closed the door. Ellie was sitting on my bed playing with her new teddy bear.
