Taken
Chapter 10
"No hungry." Ghost pushed his plate away.
Since he was still to short to reach the table, I had I him sitting in my lap. As you just read, he's refusing to eat. Why? I have no idea!
'He's seriously not hungry'
When I heard this my first thought was, 'Oh no! I'm as crazy as Max1'
'No Fang! It's Angel' It amazed me how she had made a thought have that 'Duh' since.
'Oh. I forgot that you could do that.' I admited.
'Yeah that happens when you quit talking to someone for six months' Ouch. That one hurt.
'Anyways, what were you saying about him not being hungry?' I changed the subject.
'Oh, yeah. Well at the school they only feed them like once a week so he's uses to not eating.' Angel
'But he still needs to right?' I asked.
'I'm not sure. Max doesn't seem to care all that much.' Angel pointed out.
She was right too. Max wasn't even looking at Ghost. She was joking about something with Ella. Figures. Her and Ella had gotten as close as the flock before….they took Max.
I sighed before asking, "Max if he's not hungry does he have to eat?"
"What? Oh, um, no." She looked uncertain. "But he has to, uh, stay in here."
Ghost didn't seem to mind this. He had his face buried in my chest apparently trying to block out the fact that the others were here. This was going to br a long night. Or should I say forever.
The next battle was convincing Ghost that he had to take a bath every night. Shocker huh? Anyways I'm sure you want to find out how that went so I'll let you go back.
Flashback
"Again?" Ghost seemed more shocked then a farmer being aducted instead of his cows.
"Honey you have to bathe and eat everyday." Max explained gently. "Things are different now."
"No."
"Yes." Her tone getting less soft.
"No!"
Max sighed and said, "This isn't a discussion. You're doing it whether or not you want to. Now!" There's the Max I know and love.
End flashback
And that brings us back to here. Wherer is here exactly? Well, Max is giving him a bath and I'm sitting outside looking up at the sky.
Have you ever done that? Jus tstared up at the stars, noticing for the first time in a long time that you are only a small part in the world? That there are, towns, countries, plants, galaxies, and many other things more important than you are? That others have problems worse than yours? Or at least some what as abig as yours? I hadn't since they took Max. But now that I got her back I had been wondering how this will work. I mean, I like Ghost and all but I kind of wanted things to go back to the way they were. Just Max and me. Now though, It would be completely different. We had to take care of Ghost. For now and forever. Or at least it seemed like that then. But soon I would learn how forever could mean less than a year, day or minute. Or at least in this case.
