Heya, all! Here's the next chapter and the plot thickens! Now, I'm just going to make a warning here: things get a lot darker from here on in, alright? So if you are trigger-prone...You might want to stop here.
I've got a question: should I keep this rated T and just put a High-T note in the summary, or should I just change it to M?
I don't own.
I don't like this. I don't like this at all.
I was out playing with Mommy when she said that she had to go do some work and that I could stay outside if I wanted to and I said yes and she said okay but Damian has to stay with you and I didn't say anything else. So then, she went inside and Damian and Daniel came out. Daniel looks like Damian, except he don't have that little rough beard thing. Their hair is light. Mommy says that it's called blond, but I just think it looks like dirt.
Damian tells Daniel to go find me two different kinds of pink flowers and four different kinds of purple flowers. I don't know why. He picks me up and holds me really tightly and says, "Now, we're just going to find a place to be by ourselves."
He carries me to the far side of the courtyard and puts me down behind the bushes and crawls back with me. He asks me, "How are you doing today, little Rose?"
I shake my head. "Can we go back out now? I don't like it back here."
He pets my arm and it gives me goosey bumps. "No, now, you know we can't do that." He moves his hand down, down, down to my private places. I don't know why they call them that.
"Daddy!"
He says a word that Mommy tells me never to say and stands up and says, "Yes, Daniel."
I sit up and crawl out because I don't like it when he touches me. Daniel's standing there with the flowers and he looks at me and he looks confused and then he tells me I'm weird and then I stand and ignore him because I'm too happy Damian didn't hurt me and only touched me. I don't want for Damian to say anything else so I quickly push Daniel and shout, "Tag!" and I start running. I keep running and running and running all around the courtyard and it must be forever when I finally stop because I see a little black blob. I go up to investigate and I see that it's a little birdy. I like birdies. I pick him up and he has only one wing and he's really dirt so I feel bad for him and give him a hug. I carry him back to the bench and sit down. Daniel comes up and looks at the birdy. "That's weird just like you!"
I hold the birdy tighter. "No! He's not!"
"Rosie's a weirdo! Rosie's a weirdo!" he sings and I glare at him because I don't like mean people. Damian's not here anymore. Daniel grabs the birdy from me and runs but I'm faster than him so I can jump on him and get my birdy back.
I take my birdy from him and shout, "No! That's my birdy!"
"Who says?" he asks.
"I do!" I tell him.
"Then what's his name?" he asks.
I don't really know because I haven't named him yet but he looks like an Emerson so I'm going to name him Emerson. "His name is Emerson and he is mine."
Then I see Mommy walking up so I run up to her. "Mommy—Mommy—Mommy—Mommy!"
She smiles and I love her because she's so nice to me and she is my mommy. "What'cha got there, Rosie-Roo?"
I love it when she calls me Rosie-Roo.
I hold up Emerson and show her and smile because I want to make her happy so she'll let me keep him. "This is Emerson. He was injured and I helped rescue him. Can we keep him?"
She looks at him and says, "Honey…" which usually means no.
I know I've got to make it look good so I say, "Please? I—I'll take care of him and feed him and play with him and give him baths. I promise!"
She grins that I-don't-want-to smiles but says, "Oh, alright."
I give her a big hug because I'm happy that she's letting me keep Emerson and she's so nice. "Hello, Queen Nancy!" I look behind me and Damian's back and he's walking up. I climb off of Mommy and start walking around because I don't like being around Damian and my head's starting to hurt and when my head starts to hurt it means that I'm going to have one of my fits and I don't like Mommy to see my fits because when she does she makes me stay in bed and I can't get out of bed for three days and I get bored. I run as far as possible and my headache gets worse and finally I drop to the ground and then I blink and I suddenly feel very sleepy and I want to take a nap and Emerson is standing there looking at me with his birdy eyes and he asks me, "Kid, are you okay?"
I might be seeing fake things because I thought he was just a regular bird and not a talking bird, but maybe he was just shy before so I ask, "You can talk?"
He nods and says, "Yep. Now, are you alright? You were flapping everywhere. Were you trying to fly or something?"
"No, I have those fit things…I'm sleepy now."
I sit up and scoot near the bush and pull Emerson into my lap and I pet him. Mommy comes and sits down besides me and asks me, "Hey. Are you alright?"
I don't want to answer because I don't want to lie and if I said I was alright I would be lying but if I told Mommy she'd be sad and I don't want that to happen.
Then she asks, "Why'd you run off like that?"
I shake my head hard because I think it'll help me to be not so sleepy but it doesn't work. "I dunno," I tell her. Then I ask, "Can we go take a nap?"
She picks me up and carries me into the castle and we drop off Emerson in my room and then we go into her bedroom and we take a nap.
Thanks for reading! Please review!
