(Raisa's POV)
After a good meal and some cake last night I got comfy on my gold pile then woke up to screaming and crying. It looks like our new little addition to the horde is awake but could he at least panic quieter for 5 more minutes? His screaming was between deep breaths and soft words from Ava that I tried to ignore but the crying suddenly stopped... Entirely... Did Ava kill them? She would never get blood on herself and I didn't even hear her breath any fire. I caved in and slowly turned myself over before opening my eyes to see Gerta was gone and Ava was looking relieved with her back to me. I coughed a little and she turned to me.
Raisa-Did you kill him?
Ava-What? No.
Raisa-Where is he then?
She turned over completely to show the child in her claws and he had a little charm written on some paper stuck to his head. I couldn't see it from here but it looked like it was dulling his senses and emotions. She smiled while rubbing his back.
Ava-It was so hard to write the charm when it was so tiny so it took me a few times. Gerta wanted to be a grump and step outside.
Raisa-It's Gerta, she's our sister and we lived with her all out lives. You should know her by now... Give me the child.
I got up and Ava gave me the child. I was already up and want this to be over with so I tore off the charm on his head and in a second, he went back to panicking and scrambled to try and get out of my claws. I was over Ava's horde so if he did fall, he would have a soft landing. I kept on catching him until he got tired of running, tripping, and crawling.
Raisa-Are you done?... What's your name?
Ava-Hey, I gave him a name last night!... I named him Squishy.
Raisa-... What's your name child?
???-*Sniffle* I-I wanna go home.
Raisa-Ok, Squishy it is.
Ava-See? It's cute. ~
Squishy-Th-That's not my-.
Raisa-You had your chance. Now, I know you have to have a lot of question nd I'm sure one of us will answer them sooner or later. As for right now...
