I rub Nicole hair as I slept over by Tasha house. We was on the couch looking at the TV.
"Girl, I can't believe this nigga was a fucking..."
"Creature"I said.
"What he look like?"she ask.
"He had fur coming out his body and fangs and red eyes. Oh God"I wipe my eyes then sniffle. "But then the some black wolf came out and attacked him"
"Girl he probably was big foot. You know they said they in Louisiana"
"But where did the black wolf came from?"I said.
"I don't know, I ain't no animal expert"Tasha said.
"I was just saying"I said.
"Poor child, now she have to go back to school and tell everybody that she saw her stepfather became big foot"Tasha walk to her room which was down the hall.
I look down at my baby girl who was sound asleep. I'm scared to go back to the house. What if he's there?
"Momma"I heard Nicole. She look up at me. "I don't have to go to practice huh"
"You don't have too. I'll explain to them what happened"I said.
The sun started to rise up shining through the blinds. Tasha came back in the kitchen with her work outfit on and coffee.
"Ima cover for you okay"she said.
"Thanks"I sigh. She grab her keys and walk out the door. I look at my phone of me and Josh. I wanted to cry and scream out. But I'm to tired.
I laid down on the couch and close my eyes.

I look up at the sky and smile. It's beautiful like always. The sun is my mother and the sky is my aunt.
"Nikita"I heard my mother called. "Come girl"she said. I ran to her smiling. The butterfly flew besides me. The sun beams down on me.
"Momma I saw duck"I said in my 4 year old voice.
"A duck. Did you fed it?"she grab my hand.
"No"I said.
"Awww your father would been so happy if you did. You know he eats the poor animal"she shook her head.
"Poor duck"I said. I look up at the sun. Directly at the sun. It didn't hurt my eyes. But when people look up. It hurt them.
"Come sit"I sat on the blanket.
"Mommy why you adopted me"I said.
"Cause someone told me"she smile at me. "Eat your sandwich"
"Ok mommy"
