Parker

The team sent me to the cafe I guess they thought it would be good for me to get out since I haven't left my room in 15 hours and I think it might be good for me to. It gives me a time to think. i thought they were just trying to help but I guess not. I didn't expect to see anyone. I didn't expect to see Sophie of all people.

"Hey Parker." she said

"Hi" I said I really didn't want to talk to her.

"So can you tell me what is wrong."

"How do you know something is wrong with me why can't just be here for some coffee?"

"One I know you don't drink coffee and two I read people for a living and even if I didn't I would know your eyes tell me so."

I took me a minute to take that in. Did Sophie know me that well without having to read me?

"I don't want to talk about it OK."

"I know you don't honey but you are going to talk about it. You need to talk about it."

I didn't need to talk about it I already had with many many psychiatrist and it was always the same they didn't care they never would. They just wanted their money. They would never understand the guilt they would never understand me so why should I waste my breath.

"No it is not like you care you abandoned me just like everyone else in my life."

"Elizabeth Milano Parker no I didn't I care about you and now you are going to listen. I can't stand to see you hurt and I know if you just talk about it you will feel better."she said with a stern voice.

Oh now she was being stern she said my full name at least she is the only one who actually knows my full name because then everyone would be throwing it around just to get on my nerves.

"but I... I am going to be late."

Yup that was my excuse for running off but at least it wasn't a lie I really was going to be late I had to meet someone, someone like me.

I was at the park to meet Anastasia. Anastasia was a little girl who's foster parents didn't give a crap about her. She had blonde hair and light blue eyes and was about eight years old. I usually find her by the bench but instead I found her down by the basketball court being pushed off her bike by a boy about her age. I ran to her and quickly told her to stay there even though she was in so much pain she couldn't move anyway and then I ran towards the boy who was headed towards an alley.

When I got there though I didn't see a eight year old boy. What I saw was a red monster with a symbol on it's head that looked kinda like a Jewish mark thingy they wore during the Holocaust and he had dark purple eyes with black painted stared at me and suddenly I felt sick and I couldn't move I wanted to scream for help but I couldn't do that either. He then a threw a purple sphere at me making me feel dizzy and losing my eyesight for just a second and when I opened my eyes he was gone. Oh well it wasn't that bad I just saw some type of monster that immobilizes people and no one saw that. What a wonderful week.

Sophie

After following Parker through the streets and occasionally stopping to ask which direction she last headed when I lost her I resulted to that last place a hurt little girl led me to. A trashy alley which you wouldn't want to end up in on a dark night. I went down the alley and found a small little four year old girl with blonde hair and bluish gray eyes who seemed rooted to her spot.

"God am I glad to see you Sophie."she said

"How do you know my name sweetheart?"

"Are you OK Sophie."

"You didn't answer my question hon how do you know my name?" I had to know just in case someone was using the child for a cover you know. There are many possibilities and I have to make sure.

" I am Parker."

"You mean Elizabeth right."

"No duh what is wrong with you?"

I scurried in my purse to take my small mirror out and faced it in front of Parker. Her eyes popped open and well Parker did something I didn't see her do very often. She burst into tears.
