Chapter One- Among The Sleep.
This idea came from the game Among the Sleep, hopefully you like this
"Mommy" I spoke, those were the only words I knew. I watched mommy get my cake ready, I'm so excited. Well, I think this is excitement, I'm not quite sure. "My little Tiger is two finally, I'm just so happy to see my little girl happy" I giggled.
I picked up a ball from the table and threw it, I watched it roll off the table.
"The cake is now perfect" Mommy said, picking up the cake and walking towards me. she sat down at the table with me and she begun cutting the cake and giving me a slice. She brought the spoon to my lips, "Here's the chu chu train, chu chu" I shallowed the cake. she did it again, "Here's another, chu chu-" Suddenly a big bang came from the hallway.
She let out a gasp, Mommy stood up and hesitantly spoke. "I'll be... right back" She walked into the hallway, I could hear arguing. The second voice from aggressive, "Let me to see my child!" It shouted loudly, I whimpered.
"NO! YOU'LL NEVER TAKE HER AWAY FROM ME!" She yelled at the voice, I heard the door slam shut. I saw Mommy walk back in with a present in her hand but she looked sad and a little pissed. "Look what I found" She spoke, softly. The wrapping was blue with a red ribbon tied around it, the bow done with such care. "Lets go and open it together" She picked me up and walked out of the room, we walked up the stairs together. When we reached my room Mommy placed me on the ground along with the present.
She gripped the lid, "Ready to see what's inside, One, two, three-" A ringing sound came from downstairs. She let out an annoyed sigh and closed the lid, I moaned a little. "I'll be right back" She placed the present on the draws then picked me up, she placed me in the baby play-cot and left the room after giving me a kiss on the head.
I stared at the box in fascination, It was so weird, I have to check it out. I looked around for a way out, I found a little tunnel that leads me to the other side of the play-cot. I moved the ball out of the way and crawled through it, I climbed on boxes and climbed out of the play-cot.
After finally escaping I walked up to the blue box and grabbed the wrapping, I pulled it down. The box fell on the floor hopelessly but the brown thing wasn't in there, I saw something brown in the box. I have to find it. I begun walking around the room, searching for the teddy. I opened my toy box and my new teddy climbed out of the toy box.
"Hey you found me" It said, I giggled and poked it, "Hey, that tickles" I clapped my hands and sat down.
"My name is teddy, what is your name?" He asked, I blabbered a couple of words, "Huh, not a talker" He replied. I licked my lips and i grabbed his stuffed hand.
"Want to play a game? I'll hide this action figure and you find it. Now close your eyes and don't open until I tell you to. Understanding I placed my hands over my eyes, "Done" I took my hands away from my eyes. The figure was gone, I glanced around the room. I started to look around trying to find the figure.
After a few minutes I grabbed a leg and pulled out the action figure from behind the toy box, "Well done you found it!" He congratulated, he clapped his hands with joy. I copied 'cuz you know, I'm a baby.
The teddy started to walk around, he picked up a book. "How to deal with divorced parents?" He read out the title, he looked at another one, "How to deal with an abusive parent? These are quite weird books for someone who hasn't learned to speak" He noticed my wooden train that my Mommy made. He picked it up and started to roll it across the floor. Suddenly he said, "Oh yeah, I wanted to show you something. find somewhere black" He told me.
I looked around, I remembered that my closet is pretty black. I walked to the closet, "That'll do perfectly" He got in and I followed, I stood in the closet with him.
"Close the closet" He told me, I grabbed the door knob and shut it. I couldn't see much, "I hope there are no monsters in here" He said to himself, "Okay, now hug me" I nodded a bit and gently hugged him, I felt a very comforting warmth. I made me feel safe.
"When ever you are feeling scared just hug me and all your fear will go away" Suddenly the closet opened, my mother stood in front of me. She laughed. "You playing with your new teddy bear?" I nodded a little, "It's time for bed Tigressa" She picked me up, "I hope you had a nice birthday sweetie. She placed me in my bed and kissed my forehead. "Goodnight" I let out some baby noises as my Mommy left the room and turned off the lights...
