The Child

It was a clear summer afternoon and TK was walking through the park where he and Kari used to play when they were eight.

He walked up the path farther, and saw the tree where he and Kari first confessed their feelings for each other but, that was two years ago.

They were now sixteen. Just then he heard something on the park bench near the tree. "Hmm... I wonder what that could be?" asked TK to himself. When he got to the bench he saw a little girl crying.

As she was crying she asked herself, "How will I ever find them?" She was unaware of the person coming toward her. "Hey, are you ok?" asked TK. The girl was startled and ran quickly behind a bush.

"I won't hurt you." Trying to reassure the child. "You were crying are you hurt?" "N-no" came the girl's voice. "Then why were you crying?" asked TK.

"I have no idea where I am, and I can't find my parents." "Aww. You poor little girl, tell you what I can help you find your parents but you have to trust me ok?" TK said.

"Oh, ok." said the girl as she came out from behind the bush. TK was a bit shocked when she came out, she was about eight years old, and kinda looked like Kari at that age, the only real differences was that she had green eyes and her hair was a light brown and instead of short, it was long hair.

"Well, do you know where you live?" asked TK with a smile. "Yea, I do." Replied the little girl. "Ok, where is it?" asked TK. "It won't help I don't live here." She answered. "Oh, well what's your name?" asked TK looking at the girl.

"The guy who raised me just called me Little Girl, he said I'd get a name when I met my parents." The girl said looking at her feet. "What? You don't know where your parents live?" TK was stunned.
