There were several injuries within our pack. The beta said there were two casualties, but that he couldn't get their daughter away from the bodies.
"Hey there, my name is Zane." I say bending down in front of her, I couldn't make myself look at her parents lifeless faces. When she doesn't answer I try again," What's your name?"
"Annabelle." The little girl mumbles.
"Nice to meet you Annabelle. I know you love your parents a lot but I need you to let go of them, do you think you can do that for me?"
She hesitantly lets go of their hands and looks at me uncertainly. I pick her up," Let's get you cleaned up. Can you tell me how old you are?"
"Five." Annabelle mumbles.
"Well Annabelle, can you be a big girl for me? I know this must be very hard for you but I can help you, will you let me help you?"
Annabelle nods.

Reigna
I wake to Annabelle jumping on the bed.
"Reigna, Zane, It's Christmas!" She yelled happily jumping up and down.
"Well let's go see what you got under the tree." I said picking her up.
"Can we eat sugar cookies?" Annabelle asked sweetly after unwrapping all her presents.
"We can just as soon as Luke shows up with them."
"Hey, did ya miss me a while bunch." Luke asks as he comes and holds his arms out for Annabelle to jump into.
"Lukey!" She shrieks.
"She's so adorable." I tell Reigna.
"We should have one of our own one day."
