"Eat up children, I will eat after you guys." the witch says licking her licks.
I shoot her a glare and take a bite out of my pork chop. The taste excites my mouth, and I look down at my plate. I smile over at Golgi, who practically ate half her plate already. She grins toothily, showing bits of her food. I gag and look back my plate. After dinner she says we can spend the night, and finish our journey in the morning. I sigh deeply and look at the two king size beds that we pushed together earlier.
"Sleeping arrangements are going by what I say!" I argue back again. Jason raises his eye at me and I stick my tongue out. Hazel giggles and Greg glares at me.
"No I called being leader first!" Greg whines. I smirk as a bright, and I do mean bright, idea comes to mind.
"If you want me to be leader raise your hand!" I say through giggles. Everyone but Greg raises their hands. I cheer and Greg pouts again.
"Meany!" He shouts.
"I know you are but what am I?" I shoot back coldly, but playfully.
He glares "A ogre!" He growls.
"Children. Stop acting so childish." Golgi giggles and this time we both shoot her glares. The boys sleep on the end of the bed by our feet, since everyone chose me to be leader.
"But your feet stink, and I dont want your foot fungus! Also we aren't dogs, we are humans! Human beings, do you hear me?" I laugh while Greg continues to protest and rant. I turn off the light and slowly close my eyes, drifting off to sleep.
'Momma, Momma can we play outside?' I ask again bouncing up and down looking out of the window. My eyes dart back and forth between Jary's Old Ice Cream Truck and the little girl with curly golden hair racing her mother to the truck.
'No honey, its not time yet.' my mom replies and continues to stir the chocolate cupcake mix for Nana. Momma takes Nana a basket of sweets every week, so that meant I could be home alone for about an hour.
I watched Momma take her red hood, or cape, off the coat hanger and places it on her chair. I pout and sit down on my chair twirling one of my pigtails and eyeing the bowl of mix waiting to lick it.
