INNOCENT

Chapter VI

"Hello there. What are you doing here all by yourself?" I didn't answer I could only stare at her but just for a short time as my neck was getting tired of having to lift my head of the ground. Laying my head once again on the ground, I just watched the wet grass that was infront of me.

"Are you lost? Where are your parents?" she continued standing up as she looked everywhere for something and again I stayed silent. She let out a sigh moving my eyes back to her face I saw her making a small smile on her somewhat light brown face, some of her dark, wet, brown hair was stuck on her face.

Once again she got on to her knees not minding the wet ground, she placed a hand on my face moving away some of my hair out of it, her hand then moved to my arm and with that her other hand went under my legs in a blink of an eye she lifted me up and took me to who knows where, I could only widden my eyes.

Where is she taking me? Slowly closing my eyes I felt like maybe I could trust this lady, well that and I'm to tired to try to get out of her arms so I just stayed still letting her take me as she went deeper into the woods and away from the direction of where Draco lives.

Time passed as the lady carried me, the many drops of water still falling hard on top of us, too cold to look around I just layed there wondering where this person is taking me.

After a while the lady stopped, the sound of splashing water and wierd footsteps made me shift my head forward as to see where were we, infront of us was a door to what I could think was her house.

It was a red door like the color of the dark red apples I would sometimes eat, the walls were a redish brown color, on the left side was a big clear thing, I could also see that there were five steps that made way to the door, and on each side of the five steps were a wall with metal sticks like from my cellar but these didn't have a metal door instead it let you enter the house with no problem.

The woman walked up the steps and once we got the to the door I felt her right hand shift to later hear a cling sound and soon after her hand moved a bit the dark red, wooden door opened and in we went.

Still carrying me she took me up to a room where there was a strange white hole, next to it was an odd something and another something thingy thing.

The dark brown haired woman then set me down on top of a white round thing as she went to the big white hole, turning something metal that was found above it and with that water came out of another metal hole, she turned a few times the small metal things, once she was done she then came to me and took my dirty clothes that Areo gave me placing them on the floor. She then went back to the white hole and again turned the metal things making the water stop coming out.

Without a word she picked me up and put me inside the white hole where it was filled with water. Huh this is like a big white cup, yeah, that's what I'm gonna call it a big white cup, but what was off is that the water didn't felt cold if not it was warm, it felt so good on my skin. I turned to see the lady reaching for a smaller cup filling it with the water from the big white cup then she poured the water on my head, and with a bar of soap in one of her hands she started washing my hair. We stayed quiet for a while I enjoyed the silence and the washing she was giving me, but I was also wondering why this lady was doing this to me the only one who ever done this was Areo, remebering the many times Areo washed me and how he would play small games with me with the soap the lady talked stopping me from going on with my day dreams.

"So what were you doing alone in the forest dear? Did you get lost?." she asked again which this time I answered and nicely.

"Yes I did got lost."

"Where are your parents?" she asked which again I didn't understand.

"What are parents?" I asked, she stopped washing my body, I could feel her eyes looking down on me.
