as the ship continued to move out into the
cold waters of the ocean, i looked out a
window seeing nothing but blue/green waters
and snow falling in heavy chunks. Papa was
dead, so was Mama and my sister and brother.
i was completely alone, besides the girl
penguin in here with me. she was tall and
had dark green eyes, she looked alot like
Mama but she had this cut over her forehead
that had scared over and she blue shaw
that she wore. "hey, little boy?"
i turned around to see her standing next to
me. "my name is sasha." i told her coldly,
i just wanted to be alone. "Oh, sorry.
Sasha, i wanted to see if you wanted
something to eat. it's been two days and
you need something." i turned to her in
confusement. how did she have food? i
nodded and she smiled. "okay, come here."
i walked over to her and she opened my beak.
slowly i felt a the taste of fish coming
into my mouth and i ate it happily. after
the fish stopped coming i looked over to
see that she was whipping her beak. "that's
enough for now. i'll save you some for
later." i thought that only Mama penguins
did that? ignoring this i wanted to ask
her something that had been on my mind
since we got in the ship. "can i ask you
something Miss?" she smiled and nodded
"you can call me Katherine." i nodded
"Katherine, you said that you didn't
want your baby to die back there but where is
your baby?" she smiled and chuckled a
little. then she placed her flipper over
her stomach "its not here yet." looking at
her stomach i saw how it stuck out and i
remembered how Mama had looked just like
this with sister before she was born.
"it's in there?" i asked as i placed my
flipper down on her stomach. "yes Sasha,
but it will be here soon." i smiled, i liked
babies. they were funny and cute to be
with. "do you know what it is?" Katherine
shook her head. "not yet, but i think its
going to be a boy. now Sasha, i have to ask
you a few things." i nodded "okay."
Katherine and i sat down next to the window
and she placed a flipper around me. "Sasha
you know what happened to you family back
at home right?" i frowned and nodded.
"i wanted to know it if it would be alright
by you if i took care of you from now on?"
i felt my happiness come back to me.
"really?" she nodded. i then took her into
a big hug and smiled "i think that would be
okay." i felt her return the hug and she
then lifted me up so that we were eye to
eye. "alright then." i smiled, she might
not be Mama but she was just as sweet and
kind as she was."Katherine?" "yes Sasha?"
i leaned into another hug and closed my
eyes. "can i call you mama?" as i felt
sleep take me i heard her say something.
"of course Sasha."

Review Please. :-)
