(Steph POV)
From what I had seen from the little girl, she seemed to be shy, and scared, and, well, not the kind of girl who would hit your full grown man in the gut, kick him in the shins, and run. But hey, don't judge a book by its cover. Mat doubled over and the little girl ran past him, but I was at the doorway and she ran right into me. I thought she was going to kick and scream, but instead, I half caught her as she just collapsed to the floor and started crying. She had no strength in trying to keep herself up or ush away. I let her cry a bit, then helped her into the kitchen. Mat poured a glass of juice and gave her some toast that we had made yesterday. She chugged the juce and scarfed down to toast. Mathew and I just watched her, flashing concerned glances at each other every now and then. After her 4th pice of toast, and 3rd refill of juice, she looked sort of embarrassed, and just looked down and started playing with the crumbs on the table. She was probably terrified. We had to make her feel comfortable. I was the first to speak. "Ok, I'm not one for awkward introductions, so let's just get this over with, I'm Stephane, this is my husband Mathew," I leaned in just a bit. "But you can just call him Matpat, he dosent mind."
The girl gave a hint of a smile. "And you are..." the girl looked up, eyes frantic, like she was looking for something in her head. "I-" her voice was broken and sounded unused for a while. She cleared her throat a bit. " I don't know" Mat and I looked at each other. she sounded surprised to hear it herself. We saw tears sprung to eyes. Seeing her struggling hurt me. I held Bach the tears pricking at my eyes, Threatening to come out. "Ok." Matthew said, "can you tell us where your from?" She shook her head, "I-i dont- I can't reme-" she started to mumble, now focusing really really hard on trying to remember, she started to hyperventilate again, "hey hey hey, it's ok it's ok" I reached out for her hand, but she pulled back without thinking. Like She'd done this a million times before. I quickly got up and got her another glass of water. She downed it in a seccond. We gave her a minute to calm down.
"do you remember anything about how you got here?" She shook her head and pulled her knees to her chest, "I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry please don't hurt me please don't-" she put her face in her knees.
"Hey hey hey, we're not mad, we're not going to hurt you, we won't hurt you. Maybe we can help you remember." I said calmly, I had learned not to lean in, or touch her.
"Yeah, we're here to help" said Mat
"You washed up on the east side of the island, the side with the beach, so you must have come fr-" "I didn't wake up there." The girl cut him off. "I- I woke up on these rocks, and I tried to walk to the beach, but I passed out." I leaned in just a bit closer, "can you show us where?" So she lead us. And what we found was not expected.
