Miracle: Part 2

Another Promise

The next couple of weeks were hard for the doctor, Miracle became distance with him more distant than she had been with Missy. Missy was having trouble communicating with her too but not as much trouble as the doctor.

Miracle was having very intense dreams about M. It made her scared and  terrified, she didn't want anything bad to happen to her parents. She knew what M was going to do but it confused her, she didn't know how to explain it to them. Miracle knew one thing, she had to stay away from them.

"Miracle" Missy said softly "We can help you, just tell us what M is doing, tell mummy what's happening."

Miracle was hiding under her bed, she hugged her stuffed giraffe close to her chest "No" she cried "I cant"

The doctor was frantically pacing, he hadn't gotten any sleep in days. He refused to rest until he found a way to help his daughter. He bent down "Miracle come out!" He said sternly

"No" she refused

He reached for her "Do as you are told!"

She bit his finger "No!" She cried loudly

"Ah!" He yelled in pain, he walked out.

"Miracle! Why'd you do that?" Missy scolded her

"Stay away" she cried softly

"We just want to help" Missy cautiously crawled under the bed, Miracle scooted away. "It's all right" Missy said trying to soothe her. Missy reached for her, pulling her in for a consoling hug. "Mummy's here" Missy said patting Miracles back. Miracle nuzzled herself into Missy, hugging her tightly. "Honey, I know you're frightened but we just want to help" she whispered

"I..I cant" she stuttered over her words, her constant crying making her exhausted.

"Why not?" Missy asked hoping to get any information from her. Miracle didn't reply, instead she closed her eyes and scooted closer to Missy. Miracle was truly exhausted "Alright, rest" Missy said acknowledging her daughter was tired.

They lay there in a fetus position, Miracle had her back close to Missy's chest. Soon the doctor walked back in the room "Missy?" He called

"Down here" she whispered "And keep your voice down. She shifted herself so the doctor could see her.

He bent down to see Miracle in a tight ball and Missy strocking her hair. "She say anything?" He asked

Missy shook her head "Poor child fell asleep before she could say anything" she kissed the top of her head, the doctor groaned. Missy glared at him "You need to give her a break!" She whispered angrily "You said it yourself, she's only five and doesn't know left from right" she shifted slightly "Doctor, she's scared. No she's beyond scared and she doesn't know what to do"

The doctor rubbed his temple "I know. It's just hard for me to see her like this and not be able to do anything about it"

"Patience" she said "Now help me get out" she demanded. He pulled them both out.

Missy layed Miracle down on the bed and tucked her in "She's going through a tough time and the best we can do is be there" she turned off the lights and walked out of the room, the doctor was not far behind. She walked into their room "let me see your hand" she said the doctor held his hand out to her "At least we know she knows how to defend herself" Missy said with a weak smile as she fixed his bandages.

"She didn't bite that deep" he said looking at the bite mark.

Missy nodded "She didn't intended to do any real damage. She just wanted you to stay away. She says its for our own good" Missy said letting go of his hand "Promise me you'll go easy on her and try to loosen up" she looked deep into his eyes

He groaned "I-" she glared at him and raised her eyebrow. "I promise" he gave in
