Babysitting part 1

Nevra

I was given an odd mission today. I had to take care of two kids, that a group found last week. The test showed that they are probably dragons or half-dragons. They were about 3 years old. I had no problem with taking care of them. I didn't think that two girls can be much of a trouble.

I met them in the crystal room, and immediately took them outside, so they won't feel uncomfortable. We were sitting in the grass.

"So, what are your names?" I asked, smiling. The blacked haired one didn't answer, but the other kid, who had ashen blonde hair, was more social.

"My name is Lara!" She was beaming and smiling. She leaned on the other child. "And her name is Arisse. We are three." She even showed me three of her little fingers. I laughed.

"Soo...what do you want to do?"
An evil smirk appeared on both of their faces. Oh, oracle. In a matter of seconds, they both jumped on me and tried to push me to the ground. I was surprised, so I didn't give in first. Then I realized that these were kids, so I laid down fast, and let them think it was them. They were laughing and screaming in victory, but they didn't stop yet. They started to tickle me. I began to laugh, I couldn't hold back.

"He is laughing! We haven't defeated him yet!" Said Lara to her sister. Arisse nodded and ran away.

"Wait, wait, wait, come back!"
I was trying to sit up, but Lara was sitting on my chest.

"No, no." She said, and she began tickling me again. I didn't let myself since I could lose one of the children. I sat up, then suddenly, my face was hit with a pillow. That's when I realized what was happening.

"Uh oh." That's all I managed to say before the two girls started hitting me with the newly found pillows. I covered my face, and I was pretending to get hurt, and I kept saying 'ow' sometimes. I could bear for a few minutes, but then it became a bit annoying. The hitting suddenly stopped, as they noticed a familiar.

"Look Lara, a baby pimpel! Let's catch it!" Said Arisse, as they ran after the familiar, towards the forest. Oh shit.

I quickly got up and tried to catch up with them. I don't get it. How are they faster than me? Their legs are tiny! I suddenly realized, that I was a vampire, and took advantage of my super speed. I caught Arisse first, who let out a small scream. Then I got Lara too. I sighed in relief. They almost got deep into the forest, but I managed to catch them before they could get lost. I brought them out of the forest and put them down. I crouched in front of them, then I began scolding them.

"You can't do this!" I said a bit loudly. The girls jumped a little, and they looked sad. Lara was almost crying. I sighed. "Fine, I won't be mad, just don't run off again, okay?" They nodded, but they still seemed sad. Then I noticed a group of pimpels, two adults, and three babies. I smiled. "Look, girls, a pimpel family." Said I, while pointing into the direction of the pimpels. They followed my finger, and their little faces lit up, as they saw the babies. They stared at them in awe, until they disappeared into their hole. Then they looked back at me.

"I'm hungry." Said Arisse. Lara nodded in agreement.

"Me too, me too." Said she, excitedly.

"Alright, let's get you two something to eat." I got up, and the girls grabbed into my hands. We were walking for a while when I suddenly felt as if my right leg was much heavier. It was harder to take a step with that leg. I looked down, and Lara was sitting on my feet, grabbing onto my leg.

"Legs are tired." She said simply, and then I felt Arisse sit on my other feet. I sighed and continued walking. It was much harder to get around that way, so it took me fifteen minutes to get back to the gates when normally, it would take less than ten minutes. As I was passing the pavilion, I heard someone laughing. It didn't come from the girls, because they have been laughing for the whole journey. It came from someone else. I looked around and saw Ezarel snickering. I stopped to look at him.
