This story is for my friend Sabre. This is my first story just to warn you guys.
The little girl clutched her seal stuffed animal, which was almost as big as she was. The girl's
name was Scott, and her seal's name was Sabrina, or Sabre for short.
Scott's long, midnight black hair spilled out of the messy ponytail her mom had put it in. Her
emerald green eyes glistened with tears as she watched her mom beg to her father.
"Please don't go! You can't just leave us like this!" Scott's mom cried. She tried to grab her
lover's arm, but he jerked away from her.
"Yes I can. I don't have any use for a woman or a child. Both of you would simply get in my
way." He said coldly. Scott walked up to her father.
"Daddy going bye-bye?" Scott asked in her soft, four-year-old voice. The man looked down at
her, but she couldn't see his face.
"Yes." He told her. As Scott's father turned to walk out the door she tugged on his long blue
coat.
"You should take Sabre with you. She'll keep you safe until you come back." Scott held Sabre
up so her father could see. Scott knew her father wasn't going to come back, she wasn't stupid. Scott's
father smiled at her and took the seal. No one said no to Scott, she was too cute. Scott's mom continued
to beg and plea, but he ignored her and walked out the door.
Now, why didn't Scott ask her father to stay?
Not even she can answer that question. Maybe it was because she knew he had to leave, that there was
something he had to do and that her mom and she couldn't go with him? It's been too long since he left,
and Scott doesn't even remember why-as her father left and her mom laid on the ground sobbing-she
simply stood there, feeling nothing but emptiness.
