I opened my eyes and darted across the street. I ran inside the house and grabbed my backpack and suitcases. I darted out of the house and ran down the street. I made two blocks away before stopping to catch my breath.
"What was I thinking?"
"Mreow"
"I'm so stupid.."
"Mreow"
"Why would father kick me out..? I didn't think he would go thus far.."
"Mreow"
"Hello!"
I looked around searching for the owner of the voice. I look up a tree and see a little girl that looks to be about 7. She had thick brown hair in knots she was wearing a ripped up blue dress that had mud and dirt all over it. I looked around for her parents and saw no one around.
"Hello little one"
"Hi!"
"What's your name?"
"Isabelle! what's yours?" She jumped out of the tree and walked up to me holding out her hand. I hesitated for a second.
"Kagome" I put my hand in hers and her skin felt warm and soft... I..I... I want skin like hers... warm... soft... NO! I can't think like that anymore...but... just... one... little... piece..... No..! I shook my head.
"Hey..? A-are you ok..?"
"Y-yes.."
Lies... it's all lies... but... I can't tell her... I felt something wet on my lips...
"Are you hungry? I got food over there!" She pointed over to the tree.
"Y-yes.."
"Ok! good! c'mon!"
She ran over to the tree and I trailed behind. she bent down and pulled a hand full of grass with one hand and using the other she grabbed out a McDonald's bag.
"Here! a strange lady gave it to me a couple blocks back! I got some cat food too! and milk!" She grabbed out a can of cat food and a small baggie of milk.
"Thanks..." I took off my backpack and set it on the ground. Melaine came out as soon as she heard the can open. Isabelle poured the milk into a wooden bowl for Melaine's kittens.
