Play Pretend

I felt my eyes, slowly getting heavier. I see a light.

" Come here darling."

" Mom?" I ran to her. Her warm arms held me close. But I could not see her face.

" I missed you so much mommy" She stroked her hands through my curly brown hair.

" I love you Karla, but..." I looked up into her green eyes.

" But what mommy?"

" You have to leave" Tears formed in my eyes. I could not cry, or scream. I just floated farther and farther away from her.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I see another light. But there is beeping also. Beep beep beep. That is all I hear. I slowly open my eyes.

" M-mommy?"

" Oh thank goodness your alive child!" That wasn't my mom. That person had a beard and glasses. 

" Doctor! Doctor! She's awake!" A tall woman hovered over me.

" Doctor, please tell me, is she okay?

" Well, the car did not impact her body hard for her to have any major fractures. But, her test did come back. We have found strange things, lets say, growing from her hands. Nothing serious. After her examination, they seemed to disappear."

" Her hands? What the hell was coming out of her hands?"

" We don't know sir. But we do have a few questions."

" Go on"

" She's 9, right?"

" Uh...yes, she is"

" Mkay...."

" And what is your relations ship with her?"

" Um...Uncle"

" Okay! She is free to go, your bill will be mail to you around July 16".

" Thank you" The glasses man walked up to me. I was to tired to complain. He gently picked me up. He swayed me in his arms.

~2 hours later~

 I awoke in a small bed. I wanted to scream but I didn't. Instead, I got up. The room I was in was all pink. I hated pink. Pink was the color of the rope. The rope my mom used. I twisted the door nob. A long hallway with picture line against the walls. Pictures of the man at the really bright place. He was with a woman. She had long brown hair and big brown eyes. I walked farther down the hallway to see a kitchen. The man was siting on a stool watching football. He had a bottle in his hand.

" You sure do sleep a lot." He let out a faint chuckle. I nodded my head and rubbed my eyes.

" Is, that beer?" He looked at me with a confused face.

" You're a smart kid, You want some?" I shook my head.

" I don't drink poison." He rubbed his eyes and sighed.

" You want some food kid?" I didn't know what to say. Taking food from a stranger is really new to me. But I was so hungry. I did not speak.

" Okay kid, since you don't speak English, You like macaroni?"

" Yes I do."

"Good." He grabbed a box of elbow pasta and a block of cheese. 

" Um..sir, you know I have a name, right?" He looked at me.

" Okay, then what is it?"

"I'll tell you later." He again sighed and continued to cook. 

While his back was turned, I decided to check out the house. I slowly creep into what I was assuming was the living room. Empty beer bottles littered the floor. I picked one up. And another. And another. I grabbed bottles until my arm were full. I sat them on the floor next to the stove, were the man was.

" I see you found my secret stash."

" It's not so secret if you have it laying on the floor." He shrugged his shoulders.

" Whats your name anyways kid?"

" Your the one who kidnapped me, you should know." He put the top over the pasta and sat back down on the stool. 

He grabbed his bottle, and drunk away.

" You have a wide range of vocabulary kid." 

" I know." He handed me a large backpack with clothes inside. He told me to go get changed.

" Why do I have to change?"

" Were going to get some food."

" But, you made food, didn't you?" He sighed and lifted the pot top. Smoked filled the room and triggered the fire alarm. I laughed and walked back into the room. I closed the door,expecting to lock it, but there was none.

37 minutes later.

Unknown Point of view

" Yeah boss, he's got him."

" Well get him!"

" Yes sir, I will." I hung up the phone. I seen a boy with brown hair and blue eyes. He was walking right outside my car. He smiled at me through the rear view mirror. I smiled back. He passed the back door, in front of the passenger. I slid across the car and grabbed him by the hair. While his hair still in my grip, I pulled him in. Just like that. He continued to scream but I ignored it. His eyes flashed a color of purple.

" What the hell?!" He lifted his hands to pull down the sun visor. I started the car. I needed to get out of here, fast.

"Hush little baby don't say a word,

I killed Sasha, and you'll be the third

But you you say a word, you will surly die

And I will gladly bake you in side my famous pie."

" Could you sing that again?" I tugged at her tail.

" Not today baby" She coiled around me and licked my hair.

" Mom! Im not 5 anymore! I think I can bathe myself." I pushed her away.

" Your only 10, Esther, that does not make you unworthy of my kisses." I've been living with my mom, all my life. But I still question how shes my mom. She has fur, I don't. She has blue eyes, mine are brown. She's a wolf.

Im not.
