A strange boy walks up to Annabelle.
"Hi"
"Hello, I'm Annabelle. What's your name?"
"Brian. What a lovely name you have." He says kneeling down.
"Thank you, I like your name too."
"You're welcome. Where's your mommy?"
"Mommy said she had to say goodbye  when the monsters first came"
He realizes what happened and his face turns white. "What about daddy?"
"Mommy said daddy was a bad guy"
He tries to get off the subject. "How old are you?"
"I'm six years old" Annabelle says matter of factly.
"Woah. I though you were ten" He says smiling.
"I think my birday is tree weeks"
"No I mean years"
"No, months" She quickly corrects herself.
He smiles. "Well, what's your favorite color?"
"Purple" She smiles sweetly.
"That's a beautiful color, almost as beautiful as you." He says smiling.
Annabelle felt safe with him.
"Thank you" She says laughing adorably.
He picks her up. "Let's get you tucked in," he says looking at the sun setting.
"Ok" Annabelle says yawning. "My fort is over there" She says pointing at an abandoned hospital.
"No, no, your going to come sleep with me." He says going towards the hospital to grab her things.
"Can Teddy come too? She says holding her Teddy bear.
"I would love it if he came."
"What about the monsters, is there any monsters there?" She says frightened. "Sometimes my whistle doesn't work"
"Don't worry I'll get rid of the monsters."
"Ok." On the way there she falls asleep while he is carrying her.
