Heaven Haven

False alarm

"I hungry," the innocent words of a little three year old girl caught the attention of Tavros, who was at the time in the kitchen preparing the evening meal for the orphans.

The young adult smiled warmly at the supposedly starving girl then gave her a gentle pat on her small head. "Don't worry Jenny bug dinner will be ready in a second." He then turned his attention back on the pot that began to boil over. "Not again!" Tavros quickly turned the dial on the old stove and removed the pot placing it in the sink. "I can't cook for nothing."

"I like your cooking!" Another little blond girl spoke up walking up to the failure of a cook.

Tavros waved the smoke that was filling the room away, "thanks Callie," he walked over to the doorway and turned the fan on. "You're way too kind."

"Mr. Tav! Mr. Tav!" A tiny freckled boy ran into the foggy room then running into the young stressed out adult. "Look! Look!" He tugged at Tav's sleeve.

"Yes, what is it now Ben?" Tav sighed knowing that the young worry wart was just giving him a false alarm…again.

"Christian pushed Sunna," Ben told hugging his caretaker's legs almost making him trip.

"That kid is going to be the death of me," Tavros said walking into the living room like area scanning the room for any signs of the bad biracial kid. He found Sunna just playing in her corner, she seemed just fine.

"Alight Christian!" Tav hollered not in the mood to hunt down the boy. "Come here!"

Tavros huffed when the horrible kid didn't show himself. "If I have to go looking for you I'm going to tell Mr. Rufio about your bad behavior!" Normally the kids would come out of hiding if Tav mentioned his stern father.

"He went in there," Ben pointed to the closed door that lead into the orphanages own little library.

"Thanks for the tip Benjamin." Tavros then proceeded to tiptoe to the book room, with the other kids right under him. He turned to the curious children then placed his index finger on his lips and gave a "shhhh…"

The kids covered their mouths as they giggled.

Tavros opened the door slowly and peeked in the dark room. His eyes immediately locked on to the familiar sight of the boys' short curly hair.

Tavros smiled then burst through the door with the kids running in the room not bothering to turn the light on. "There you are Mr. Christian!" Tav scoped the startled boy off of his feet. "Now go tell Sunna your sorry!"

They boy just threw his head back and whined kicking his legs furiously.

"Come on lets go tell Sunna sorry," Tav said carrying the heavy two year old into the living room. "And hush up all that whining. Ain't nobody got time for that!"

But when Tavros entered the room he froze in place. There was a strange man sitting on the floor with Sunna in his lap, he was playing with her short brown hair while she was brushing her dolls hair.

"Oh no…what do I do." Tav thought lowing Christian to his feet then grabbing the other kid's hands. His eyes shot to the door that lead outside then back on the laughing curly headed man.

Christian ran over to the guy but only to push Sunna once more making her hit her head on the floor. She cried loudly upon impact.

"Hey! Hey!" The man shouted grabbing the giggling boy's hands. "What the fuck man, that wasn't very nice now was it? Why the motherfuck would you all up an do that?"

Christian whined and made his body go limp. The guy let his hands go letting the boy hit the ground. He then grabbed Sunna and placed her back in his lap then continued to mess with her hair. "You ok girl?"

While he was preoccupied with Sunna Tavros grabbed a nearby wooden baseball bat that was let on the floor. He kept the kids behind him as he walked up the unsuspecting man. He raised the bat above his head about to strike.

"We mama," Sunna said looking up at Tavros reaching her arms out wanting him to pick her up.

"Huh?" The strange cat turned around and the two locked eyes. Whoa! Whoa! Wait man don't go hitting a motherfucker! He placed his arms on his head in an attempt to protect himself.

"I don't know who you are but…uh…you better leave." Tav threatened swiveling his bat a bit.

"What are you doing Tavros?" The frightened young adult dropped his bat when he heard his father's voice.

"Dad! Look we have an intruder! He's going to hurt the kids!"

"Ummm…noooooo…he's not an intruder." Rufio picked Jenny up and placed her on top of his shoulders. "Maybe I should explain what's going on before you hurt someone."

I shall try my hardest to make this a cute and fluffy story!
