I'll Keep You Safe (Cry X Reader)

Rustling In The Closet

Your POV

My eyes popped open. The warmth of my Labrador retriever was missing from next to me. "Brutus?" I heard his paw steps as he padded over to me. He put his head on the bed, looking up at me with his big soft brown eyes and giving a small whimper. "What's wrong?" He turned around and stared at the closet across the room. Small rustles were heard. "Is...someone...in there?" I asked, not expecting an answer. Brutus walked over and pushed his nose against the crack under the door. I cautiously walked to the closet, only hearing more rustles and a small whimper. I put a shaky hand out and onto the sliding door. Quickly pulling it open, I looked inside. "Is anyone in here?" I asked in a soft voice. I saw a small shadow in the corner, as if it were a kid curled into a ball. I could also make out the outline of a knife in their hands. "It's okay...I won't hurt you..." I tried to comfort the figure. The small shadow started to cautiously inch towards me. "W-Who are you?" It was a girl. It kinda reminded me of...no (Y/N), stop it! This will not turn into anything like that! "I'm (Y/N). Where are your parents?" I asked after she crawled out of the closet. Her lip started to quiver. "They...They were attacked...by those things..." She whispered and jumped, wrapping her arms around my neck and crying into my shirt. "I want mommy...I want daddy..." She cried. I wrapped my arms around her and patting her blonde head. "I'm sorry...what's your name honey?" She sniffed and looked at me with big green eyes. "J-Jamie..." "That's a cute name." Brutus came trotting over and licked her cheek, making her giggle. "Who is this?" "That's Brutus. He likes you." She giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Hi boy." I laughed at how cute this girl was. Just like Clem...'No (Y/N)! This is not going to turn out like that!' "Hey, miss (Y/N)?" "Just (Y/N). What's up, Jamie?" She looked at her hands as she fiddled with her fingers. "Are you gonna leave me...like my parents did, when they were attacked?" I knew she was asking if I would leave her...in the way Lee left Clemintine. "Of course not." "(Y/N)? Who's that?"
