*Bloom 4 years old*
"C'mon Bloom we have to go or we'll be late sweetheart" Mary says in her sweet voice reaching out her hand so Bloom could grab it. She was wearing jean shorts that were handy downs from one of Mary's friends and had a pin on the side because the waist band was too big for her slim body, along with one of James's pail green T-shirts that had a wolf on the middle of it and was tied back with a ponytail so it wouldn't drag on the floor although the tail of the shirt that was in the pony tail was still pretty long. Her red hair was pulled back in two French braids that reached her shoulders with a few strands of her bangs hanging out. Her cyan blue eyes bright and full of life. While Mary wore a cotton white shirt with a rip on the sleeve and black leggings with rips on the legs and black boot with a jean jacket. Her hair was down and wavy.
"Where we going Mama?" she asked walking over to the door with Mary and putting on her brand new shoes that James's found her a few weeks ago that he found wile out buying food and Mary spent hours cleaning them and fixing them up for her birthday in 3 days from now.
"To see some people Jaja and I haven't seen in a while" Jaja (Jayjay) is what Bloom calls James and Mama (Maymay) is Mary "These people are like family to us, so when we get their some may look scary but they are good people just like us, so don't be scared darling" She says picking up the little girl and holding her on her hip like what mothers do with their kids.
"I won't, I don't get scared." Bloom says with confidence in her voice while putting on a proud smile.
"Good" she says with a grin she loved it when Bloom acted brave. Then turned her attention toward the bathroom where James was brushing his teeth "hurry up James we don't have all day" she joked
"I'm coming, I'm coming" He says before spitting and walking over to them. James wore a black t-shirt and grey sweet pants, "So can I take my motorcycle? It'll be quicker than taking the woods" He asked with puppy dog eyes. But Mary just laughed
"Fine" she answers. One of the people that they are going to go meet owns a vehicle shop and after James helped him get out of a fatal situation with some drug dealers he offered him some pretty extreme discounts in which he was able to buy a jeep, 3 motorcycles and 1 motorbike.
"Yes!" He cheered triumphantly
"Ooh, ooh, can I come, I wanna ride too" Bloom begged
"Fine but you're riding with me then." She answers looking at Bloom
"What why?" James questioned will Bloom clapped her hands with glee, happy she was going to get to ride one
"Because you tend to speed and do tricks and I don't wanna have to explain to the people in the ER that I let a 4 year old on a motorcycle and almost killed her" she says jokingly but also stern that he got the message
"Yay-yay-yay" Bloom continued cheering wile Mary carried Bloom out to the garage and set her down by the motorcycle and grabbed a helmet that would fit Bloom's head and grabbed her own and setting it on the seat so she was able to help Bloom with her helmet. Once she strapped it on and set her on the front of the motorcycle then got on behind her and put hers on. Beside them James was doing the same thing on the motorbike and started his engine.
"Ok, I'll see you there" He said and speeded off. Mary chuckled and Bloom was sill overcome with joy as they watched him drive down the road. Luckily they don't have neighbors because they would really get in trouble for his reckless driving.
"Are you ready Bloom?" Mary asked starting the engine, and all Bloom could do was nod "alright hold on" She warned as she started to drive off.
"Wait!" Bloom shouted, Mary stopped the bike and Bloom hopped off and ran into the house, few seconds later she ran back out the house with a black case in her hands that had blue letters on it that spelled out Bloom. It was her dagger. She took it everywhere but with her but being 4 she tended to occasionally forget and has anxiety attack and breaks down if shes away from it to long.
"Oh of course we wouldn't want to forget that" Mary says sarcastically with a smile and she helped Bloom on the bike and put the case in a bag at the front. They then finally shut the garage and drove off. They didn't haft to drive to far but they did haft to go into the city witch frightened Bloom, she wasn't used to busy roads and traffic.
They reached a large ware house that had metal walls and graffiti on it and they parked next to other motorcycles and cars. Bloom climbs off the bike and gets the case that held her dagger and took off her helmet and set it on the seat next to Mary's. They walked in the building and it was huge! On one side there was a big stage set up with lights and large speaker and ropes around it like a boxing rink,a crossed from it on the other side of the building was some kind of lounge with TV's set up with coaches and all kinds of gaming consoles with a group of guys that looked about 17 standing around it play a game on the Xbox. Next to it there was living spaces that where blocked off by curtains and across from that was a training area that had fake foam dummies and punching bags that looked like it had cuts all over it. There were tables all over with different types of chairs with people everywhere. A man with red hair like Blooms and looked fit and kind of handsome approached them and gave Mary a hug.
"Hey girl I haven't seen you in forever" He says with a smile
"Yeah, it feels like ages, I'm so glad to be back Rex!" Mary responds excitedly. Rex then looks down to see Bloom starring up at him. He then kneels down to about her size
"So you must be Bloom? James has told me a lot about you I'm glad we finally get to meet." He says. When Bloom was younger James and Mary would take turns watching her while the other went out and had fun, but Mary mostly stayed considering the last time she left James and Bloom together alone it ended in a search for a Bloom who appeared to have a natural talent in hide and seek.
"Thank you?" Bloom answered unsure if that was the right thing to say but Rex didn't seem to notice.
"So how old are you?" He asked with a sweet smile
"Um… Im dis many" She says holding up five fingers then Mary lets out a slight laugh and bends down to tuck in Blooms thumb so she was holding up four fingers. "Oh, dis many" She corrects herself with a small giggle along with Rex then his eyes go to her hair and examines it.
"Hey we have the same hair" he notes running his hand down one of Blooms French braded pig tails.
"Yeah but her's is natural" Mary states
"What? No way this is her natural hair." He says shocked but Mary just gave him a smirk that said she wasn't kidding "Wow, sick, it looks like flames" He states as he continues examines her red hair that had small orange streaks in it.
"Yeah well it's kind of a recurring thing with her."
"What do you mean" He questions
"Well you know about 3 years ago when Guardia Bank caught fire?" He nodded. "Well James and I where there and that's how we found her, we don't know why she was their but someone abandoned her… in a closet, we couldn't just leave her there so we took her with us. We also found this case she had with her when we found her" She explains wile Bloom takes out the case and hands him it. "This is how we found out her name and birthdate but it also has a weird symbol of a flame thing on it" she continues as he opens it and points to the crest. Mary and James had told her this story a million times they thought it would be best to explain it when she was younger than having her wonder her whole life but they always left out the part that it magically stopped once they picked her up or the orb the surrounded her.
"So you just let a 4 year old carry round a dagger?" He questioned
"Yeah take it away and she'll flip, and I don't blame her it's the only trace of her parents she has." She states
"Good point" He admits and puts it back in its case and hand it to Bloom. At that point Bloom lost interest and saw James walk over to the group of guys by the lounge area one had blond hair, one had a navy blue hair and the other had a light silver and they all wore khakis and t shirts. James talked to them for a moment then grab a controller. This peeked Blooms interest and started to tattle over to where they are. When she walked she observed the people around her some had weapons like guns strapped to their pants and others where showing off their knifes but none like Blooms, theirs were more dull and only one sharp edge while hers was decorated and all sides of it were sharp. She reached the area where James was and climbed on the coach he was sitting on and sat next to him. But he didn't seem to notice but the other ones did and just starred at her for a second while she curled up in a ball next to him and watched as he played.
"Uh…Yo James, you know the red head?" one of the guys asked and James looks down at her
"Yeah this is Bloom, the one we found in the bank" He explains and he continues playing. He was playing Call of Duty. After James stabbed someone with a knife Bloom noticed the way they held it and thought it looked cool. She sat up and took out her own dagger from the case she was carrying and the group of guys then freaked out.
"Yo! She has a knife!" One of the guys with blond hair yelled
"Bro, chill that's her birth weapon." James tried to explain
"Birth weapon?" the blond asked calming down some
"Yeah she had it with her when we found her"
"Can I see it?" he asked and Bloom handed it to him "Wow sick, where did you get it?"
"It's a dagger, and my mommy and daddy gave it to me." Bloom corrected and smiled then turned her attention to the TV "Whatcha playing Jaja?" she asked
"A game called Call of Duty wanna learn how to play?" he asked handing her the controller as the other guys were still observing the dagger "Ok this is how you shoot" he says pressing a button on the back of the controller "this is how you move and press down on it to knife people, ok?" she nods and he grabs the mic and talks to the people playing online "Hey go easy on me my sisters playing" he says
"Is she hot" one of the guys online asked cheekily
"Um that's my sister you're talking about"
"Yeah but is she hot?" he continued and Bloom snuck up behind him and knifed him in the back "What! No fair I was distracted. She must be cheating!" Bloom started laughing a bubbly laugh and so did James
"Chillax, dude she's four and this is her first time even seeing a game" He says laughing. Bloom was just walking around knifing people and running around with a police shield and giggling the whole time. She wasn't that good but she never died because the people online didn't want to seem like a jerk by trying to kill a four year old. It was like an unwritten law that says you can't kill anyone that's hands can't reach all the buttons.
"So what's with this symbol" The guys examining the dagger asked
"We don't know we found it in the fire along with her but we think her parents gave it to her for protection."
"Oh" They put the dagger back in its case and gave it to Bloom and grabbed the other controllers and started to play along with her. They all played for a while and talked. It turns out the Blond one's name is Sean the silver haired one is Chris and the blue haired one is Mark. Chris has a two sisters that are twins, Colleen and Caitlin that were just a year older than Bloom, Mark had a brother the same ages as the twins Kyle as well as one Blooms age Lucas. Sean also had a brother one the same age as the twins Sam. They said they'll bring then to meet Bloom sometime. They played for an hour and Bloom got the hang of it pretty quickly and she loved it she was having fun but the others started to get bored of it and stopped playing but kept watching Bloom.
-With James, and Rex-
"Bro look at Bloom she's a natural gamer." James says walking over to Rex. Bloom was sitting on the carpet looking at the TV with a head set and she was talking to the people online while Sean, Mark, and Chris watched her and listened to make sure the people weren't saying anything bad or inappropriate to her. The people online were mostly talking to each other while Bloom giggled or asked they her questions about herself.
"Yeah we should bring her GameStop sometime" (1) Rex says watching Bloom through a sticky grenade and blow up manikins but she started laughing regardless.
"Yeah, so how's it been since I've last seen you" James asked
"Eh nothing much, you?"
"Just taking care of Bloom, that's about it really."
"So you guys really care for her don't you?"
"Well yeah, I mean look at her she's adorable you would have to be crazy to abandoned her" he says jokingly
"Yeah" Rex laughed "So have you taught her how survive on these streets yet?" He asked
"What do you mean she's only four?"
"Well you've seen what people do out here, I mean you found her in a fire someone had to put her there, and that was probably the least violent thing you can do to a kid around here. Face it dude it doesn't matter how old you are you need to know how to defend yourself. You want me to teach her how to use that dagger of hers?" Rex was one of the only people there that relied on a knife rather than a gun to get out of situations and he was good at it but he still packed heat just in case. The people that relied on their knife wore the most respected because it takes skill to sneak up on someone and takes guts to go through with what they do. They were also the most loyal to people because, like a knife, they doesn't let you down as long as you have it with you unlike a gun that it useless without the bullets. "I actually do lessens with Mark's and his friends siblings, I can have her come too and show off that dagger of hers." He says causally
"Yeah you're right, and that would be great. So anymore advice." James asked, he knew his friend wasn't wrong he's seen people do bad things to kids and other people, preferably girls.
"Well she needs to know how to get money, and I'm guessing prostitution is out of the question" James nods "Then I would say pick pocketing, and street performance, so can she dance or sing?"
"I don't know she's never really tried but I'm sure she has the confidence, she's not really shy. But pickpocketing? Are you sure?"
"Yes I'm sure, there is only a few nice people here that would give her money just for dancing even with her advantage." The red head explains.
"Advantage?"
"You said it yourself she's adorable so right now people would likely give her more money but even an adorable girl like her wouldn't make even enough to get a 5$ foot long so in drastic measures she's gunna haft to steal from people, but she'll have to learn how to run fast and hide and other things like blending in that allows her to get away before she gets caught."
"Well she's pretty creative with her hiding spots… that's why I'm not allowed to be left alone with her for long" He laughs
"You lost a four year old?" Rex asked not believing his friend
"She was in the trash can…Like she took the bag out got in and put the bag over herself"
"Hmm smart girl"
"Yeah so what else"
"Well we haft to teacher how to dance and sing, so I think I can get Kayla to agree to help her, and we will haft to do hand on hand fighting because she doesn't look like a type of person to stab people unless she hast to. She also needs an outlet so she doesn't break down I mean with her talent she'll go on a rampage and slaughter us all." He laughs
"Ok outlets, let's see well she likes gaming we know that and she likes to write these short stories sometimes and draw. Oh do you think she would like soccer?" James asked, he plays soccer and always wanted a kid to coach to play
"I don't know ask her. Also we have to teacher parkour, is she afraid of heights?"
"I don't think so"
"Ok I can work with her on it. We are teaching the other kids too, I had to have this same conversation with Chris, Mark, and Sean. Shell be a little behind but she looks like she'll catch on quickly"
"Ok so what about a gun?"
"We'll wait on that for now we don't need her to stressed"
"Ok, you'll teach her weapon fighting, and hand on hand fighting for protection. I'll ask Kayla to see if she can teach her dancing, singing, and pick pocketing to get money for food and stuff. Ill teach her how to running fast, hiding, blend in and parkour for escaping from people, and drawling, writing, gaming, and maybe soccer for stress release."
""Sounds like a plan but I think Jake should teach her the escaping part, if she's going to be successful there can't be any mercy and I think you'll give in to easy"
"Fine, when do we start?"
"This weekend so about a week" Rex says
"Do you know where a GameStop is around here her birthdays coming up and I think she'll really enjoy one"
"Yeah down the road take left and you'll see one."
"Ok thanks man"
"Yeah no problem, Oh I just remembered in 3 days is the fork night you coming" Rex asked
"Yeah defiantly"
"Good, it's nice to have you back man"
"Yeah it's nice to be back" James said, they stand there for a moment when they suddenly hear a small wolf like howl, it was coming from Bloom and the other guys that were with her joined in with her suddenly more and more joined and Bloom stopped and started laughing when she saw a little less than 1/3 of the people there join. Once the howling died down people started laughing and Mark, Sean, and Chris started chanting.
"Fire Wolf! Fire Wolf" Fire Wolf!" they cheered and Bloom stood up on one of the tables and put both arms in the air and feet together so she made a Y shape with her body and wolf heads with her hand (the ring finger and middle finger inched together with her thumb and pinky and pointer sticking up) and through her head back and howl again followed by half the people in the building. When they finished the little scene people started to walk over to her and asked questions about her and talked to her when Mark came over from the crowd and joined Rex and James.
"Fire Wolf?" James asked
"Well look at her hair and she says she likes wolfs and look at her she's like a natural born alpha." Mark explains
"Wow she's been here for like 2 hours and already have a nickname" Rex Laughs
