The CareGivers

Part(1) Kids...

"Come on. Through the skylight and into the masters room and take the watch." Natalie has been trying to convince me to steal the watch the Master stole from her father.

"No, I'm sorry you know what's going to happen if I get caught, I can't risk it again." Not like last time I thought to myself.

"Well if you change your mind you know where to find me." I did know where to find her most likely in a bar, drunk, flirting with some guy.

"Ya I don't think I will." And with that I left.

+++++

"Hey you got any cash on you?" I looked over my shoulder to see a guy with a beer in his hand.

"Uh, sure." I handed him $10 and set it in his hand and he grabbed my hand and didn't let go.

"Let go of me." I struggled with the man.

"Hmm I don't think so." He said. I refused I pretended to seem innocent it was part of my training. But now I need to react before it's too late.

"Please.." I started fake sobbing. With a few a seconds of fake tears I brought my foot up deflecting his hand from mouth. Probably to muffle my screams.

"Ahh, your a tough one ain't ya!" He started towards me.

"Come 'ere" I walked backwards then turned around and started to pick up my pace. Then he came up behind me and kicked me to the ground. I went to elbow him in the face. But his arms weighing me down, prevented that.

"Get. Off. Her." The voice sounded familiar. Natalie.

"What the.." Cried the man. I felt the weight lift off my shoulders and I turned to my back. It was Natalie. Her hand muffled his shouts.

"Now I want you to tell me exactly you were doing with her!" She gripped his head back.

"I.." Before he could get a word out Natalie pushed his head to the concrete.

"Come on let's go." She shoved me forward as to say 'Go slowpoke' without having to move her mouth.

We started running away until we got to the car. It was an old fixer upper. But it did well.

"So, what happened?" as if she couldn't make it more awkward.

"He asked for money than 'Bam' he's on top of me."

"Why didn't you use what you learned in training?" She looked at me like I didn't know what I was doing.

"He blocked all my strategies. He'd be a good SwordSayer I'll tell you that."

"I don't think so.. Don't you got to get home to your kids Diana." Diana is my fake name the one we use to get around. Like plane tickets and address's.

"Ya and back to your husband, Sam." Yes Sam is her fake name. And she doesn't have a husband.

A few minutes of silence then we arrived.

"We're here." At my house.

"Thanks for the ride Sam." She nodded and I exited the car.

+++++

"Mommy!" Spoke three voices in unison.

"Hey darlings how was school?"

It was there first day And was late at night I'm not usually at home till 8pm because of 'work.'

"It was great mommy I made a new friend!" Yelled Aryanna (8 years) in excitement. "And I have a nice teacher her name is Miss. Ovilin." Aryanna again. I froze. Ovilin was a lickerment from the underworld. Lickerment's are creatures disguising themselves as humans. But they can't say 'Trainer' I know a weird word but it's true if she can't say it then she's a Lickerment. It was the name of there old Council Leader that we killed. So I guess it has something to do with that.
