Prince of stride:
Here comes the storm.
(Third person P.O.V)
Tsunami was sitting in the back seat of the car, while the nice lady and her mommy were fighting out side of the car. The nice lady said that she was going to be taking care of Tsunami while her mommy stayed with her grandma and grandpa; but her mommy didn't like that idea. So while she was been a good girl within the car they were fighting out side of it. Tsunami couldn't understand what they were saying but from the sounds of her mommy's voice Tsunami know she was mad. The nice lady didn't sound so nice right now either.
"Sophie, Tsunami needs me in her life?" Mickey said to her childhood friend.
"While than maybe you should get your self clean. You might have had a bad upbringing, but that doesn't mean that your daughter has to." Sophie said before getting into her car. Sophie had thought that once Mickey had her children she would have gotten her act together. But when she first saw the little girl, she know that Mickey was still going down that wrong path. Bruises covered her arms, while the clothes she was wearing were falling off of her. Sophie smiled at the little girl; and took off towards her home.
"I want Tomoe." Tsunami said holding Mr. Clingly in her little arms tighter.
"Oh and who is Tomoe?" Sophie asked pulling into a diner parking lot. Tsunami just shook her head at the nice lady, her mommy had said that she would never be able to see her brothers again; so it was just better to never talk about them. Sophie could see that Tsunami was unsure about what to say, or who to trust. While Tsunami was trying to think of away to get around the subject of her big brothers, the nice lady got out of the car and was now trying to get her seat belt undone. Finally Tsunami said something that Sophie was not expecting.
"Tomoe is one of my big brothers." she said before pushing down on the red button so that she could get out of her buster seat. The nice lady picked Tsunami up and was heading towards the door of the diner. This was one of Sophie's favorite places to bring her three boys when they came home from visiting with their father in Japan. Just thinking about intruding this scared little girl, to her three boys was something she was greatly worried about. As they enter the diner, several of the waitress looked up and smiled as the two of them. Tsunami looked away from them. Sophie took the booth by a window so that little Tsunami could watch the cars pasting by.
"Hello Sophie, oh and who is this little one?" the waitress asked the nice lady.
"Hello Amy, this is my god-daughter Tsunami, she Mickey's baby girl. Tsunami this is one of your mommy's old friend." Sophie said to the four year old. But Tsunami was already curling up in the corner of the booth trying to put as much space between her and the nice lady that had took her away from her mommy. Tsunami didn't know if the nice lady was like her mommy or like Riku and Tomoe. Sophie could tell that she was scared so she moved to the other side of he booth so that little Tsunami would feel safe. Sophie looked at Amy and as if understand what was going on went to get some milk and coffee for the two.
"Tsunami what would you like to eat?" Sophie asked, not sure if Tsunami could even read. Tsunami, just looked at the thing before moving over to the seat next to the nice lady.
"I don't know what this say." Tsunami said looking up at the nice lady.
"While lets see what we can find for you." Sophie said pulling out a pen to write down what everything was. Tsunami looked it over before pointing to the mac and cheese.
"Tomoe makes that for me and Riku all the time, when mommy and daddy are fighting and they forget about us." Tsunami said. Okay now Sophie was starting to worry, not once has little Tsunami said she wanted her mommy or her daddy instead she wanted her big brother.
"Tsunami how old are your big brothers?" Sophie asked, because if these three have been fending for them selves that something needs to happen. But the look on her face said that Tsunami didn't know what Sophie was talking about. It made her wonder how much did this little girl actually know. Sophie pulled out a note book and started writing the Japanese characters that stood in place of the numbers. Sophie only wrote the first ten characters.
"Can you tell me how old is your oldest brother?" Sophie asked putting the numbers in front of the small girl. Tsunami looked at the list in front of her before point to hachi which means eight. Tsunami than pointed to Roku, which to mean that her brothers are eight and six. Tsunami than to yon. Sophie put together the three children where two years apart. Sophie was about to ask Tsunami if her mommy and daddy had every hit her or her two brothers when Amy came back with their drinks. Tsunami moved onto the nice lady's lap as she wrote something out on a napkin.
"Sophie what can I get you two?" Amy asked sitting across for her friend and the little girl that was to busy writing something to care about others.
"I will take my usually and for little Tsunami the mac and cheese. Oh by any chance do you guys have a smaller cup for her?"
"No that the only kid size cups. I thought Mickey only had one kid, and that was eight years ago..." Amy said.
"Mommy and daddy had three kids. Tomoe, Riku, and Me." Tsunami said looking up from the napkin she had been writing on. While not writing, while more like drawing on. Sophie was shocked that this four year old was able to draw what was going on inside the diner. But the way she had drew it was as if someone was looking from the out side in.
"Wow sweetie, do you mind if we hang this up so everyone can see what you can do?" Amy asked, but Tsunami just shook her head before ripping up the napkin. Sophie had a feeling that only see her talent as a waste of time. Mickey used to put everyone down when people thought they were talented. It was how she had grown up, and now she was going to make her daughter suffer the same way. Sophie was feeling guilt that she could do nothing for Mickey's two sons. Tsunami pulled at the sleeve of the nice lady's top, because she had to go to the bathroom but she didn't know where it was.
"Yes Tsunami?" Sophie asked looking down at the small child.
"Bathroom." Tsunami said
"Okay, let's go than." Sophie said picking the small child up and carried her to the loo. They just so happen to have made it in time. When they made it back to the table, there was a stack of paper and crayons, Sophie watch as Tsunami clawed but up onto the seat across from her. She picked up a piece of paper and the green crayon, and started drawing to her hearts contains.
At first she was drawing the flowers in the window boxes, than it turned into the parking lot full of cars. Sophie had been watching Tsunami when she saw Mickey pull up out side of the diner. But when she walked in that's when Sophie lost it. She had told the child's grandparents about what she had saw, but not even they would be able to stop their daughter if she wanted to take the child with her. And from the way that Tsunami was holding her head close to her chest; she was scared of her own mother.
Mickey sat at the counter and watch how Sophie interacted with her daughter, not that she saw the little child as her own flesh and blood, but it was the only way that she would be able to get any of her family's money. As it laid Tsunami was the only one that would get any money from her material grandparents. But she wouldn't be able to use it until she turned 21. That emphatic little girl was going to be her meal ticket. But she had to get around Sophie first.
"Hi baby girl, how are you doing?" Mickey asked sitting down next to the small child. Tsunami held the picture she had been drawing to her chest afraid that her mother would take it and ripe it up like every other time she had drawn something pretty. Tomoe loved to put her pictures up on the wall of their room to make the walls look pretty.
"Tsunami I asked you a question, this is when you answer." Mickey said grabbing her hand, but the child still didn't say anything. What do she say to someone that so clearly didn't love her. When Tsunami; still didn't say anything, Mickey went to shacking the small child. Who didn't let any sounds past her lips. It wasn't until several men came over and pulled Tsunami's mother off of her did she whimper. If Sophie hadn't started to smooth the whimpering child
"Shh Tsunami, it's okay." Sophie said.
"I want Mr. Clingly." Tsunami said clinging to the nice lady's neck. She was scared and didn't want to let go of the nice lady, she could stop her mommy. Sophie didn't let the crying girl go, before going outside and getting Tsunami's monkey. But still she wouldn't let go of the lady's neck, the monkey was just her favorite thing in the world. When they went back into the diner her mother was gone and her drawing was up on the wall.
"Okay ladies here you go. We got Mac and Cheese for the little miss, and for Sophie fish and chips." Amy said putting the dishes down on the table. Sophie smiled up to her, but she already know that she wouldn't be able to eat anything, Tsunami was content with sleeping on her lap. Tsunami's head was resting on Sophie's shoulder, the little girl's arms wrapped lightly around her shoulder.
"I'll be done in fifteen, let me go put these in boxes." Amy said taking the plates behind the counter. Sophie moved to get her checking book, but that small movement nearly woke up the small child clinging to her for dear life. Sophie was same how able to get the amount of pounds she needed for the bill. It didn't take long before Amy was back with four boxes.
"Okay I figure the boy are going to be hunger, so burgs for them. Mac and cheese for the little one clinging to you, my supper and your fish and chips. Don't think about it Sophie I got this." Amy said putting the boxes down and putting the pounds Sophie had in her hands back into her checking book. Amy than picked up the monkey from the floor and the four containers of food. Sophie gather her coat and bag up before standing up. Tsunami tighten her arms before relaxing again in Sophie's arms.
"She should never have had to go through that." Amy said, opening the door for her. Sophie looked at the small child sleeping on her shoulder and couldn't help the tears that pricked at her eyes.
"You're right Amy." Sophie said shifting her hold on the child so that she could put her in the buster seat. Amy had gotten the back door of Sophie's car open. As Sophie was sitting Tsunami down when she opened her soft red eyes, before falling back to sleep. Sophie throw her jacket over the sleeping child, in a way to make her feel safe and comfortable. That and it would be safer for her than waking up and not knowing what is going on. Sophie waved good bye to Amy, before getting into the front seat and leaving the diner.
Sophie had been driving for half an hour before Tsunami opened her eyes, in that time she had been able to pick up her three sons from their friends house. At first Tsunami was confused but than she notice the jacket covering her. It belong to the nice lady, but where was Tsunami. And a more important question where was Mr. Clingly. She was looking around and found that he was on the floor of the car the nice lady drove. Tsunami reached down but the seat belt stopped her. She kept trying until the seat belt had started to hurt her neck. She bit the inside of her bottom lip to stop the water works. But not even that would stop the tears from coming.
"Clingly." Tsunami cried trying to get her monkey but she couldn't. The seat belt just kept stopping her. That was until a hand reached over and pulled her monkey up from the ground. Tsunami slowly turned her head toward the person the hand came from only to see a boy maybe a few years older than Tomoe. She started to scream at the top of her lungs, unsure who this person was.
"Mum make her stop." A voice behind her called over Tsunami's screams.
"Richard stop complaining, she a four year old that just woke up from her nap. A course she's going to cry." another voice said behind her.
"Ryan, Richard stop it both of you. Riyuki there is a blue sippy cup in her book bag, just hand that to her along with her monkey." the nice lady said looking back at her middle son. The boy looked on the side, before pulling back with the little one's blue sippy cup. He held the cup and monkey to the little girl, at first she wasn't sure if she should take the sippy cup, but she did want her Clingly. Tsunami took her monkey but pushed away the sippy cup, but the boy wouldn't stop. Couldn't he see that she didn't want it.
"Riyuki don't push it. Tsunami just wanted Mr. Clingly." the nice lady said looking at the boy next to Tsunami. She had Mr. Clingly close to her chest and her right thumb in her mouth. If Tomoe was watching her he would of told her no, but right now she was in a car with people she didn't know that well. She know that most kids her age had stopped sucking their thumbs long ago, it's one of the reason why the other kids had been so mean to Tsunami. But if they had grown up in the home she had they would still be doing it too. Tsunami, pulled Mr. Clingly right into her chest before taking her thumb out and reaching her hand out for the boy's sleeve. She was about to grip it and pull to get his attention for the sippy cup when the two boys in the back started fighting. The fighting boys by accident hit Tsunami, that she started screaming. Even by accident it still scared Tsunami, that something would happen to her that would only cause more pain.
"What happen back there boys?" Sophie asked looking back at her three sons, she was trying to figure out what had happen to make the little girl start screaming. Sophie had known of the mental abuse but maybe there was more to the bruises than her been clumsily or had been caused by her father and maybe her mother also. Sophie pulled over on the country road so that she could clam the screaming child down. Tsunami who was screaming out of both pain and fear was not doing so well she often would start scream when her parents would hit her brothers. She had always been trying to get someone's attendance but it never worked, because no one lived close enough to hear the cries of the three young children.
"Shh, Tsunami it's okay. It's okay no one is going to hurt you any more." The nice lady whispered into the crying child ear while holding her close to her body. Tsunami just held on to the nice lady and Mr. Clingly.
"Mum, I think that maybe me and Tsunami should sit in the back row. That why those two fools won't hit her again on accident."Riyuki, Sophie's middle son, said getting out of his mother car.
"Yuki are you sure about that. I know you don't like sitting behind your brothers. Maybe one of the other should sit with Tsunami and you sit with the other one." Sophie said looking at her kind hearted son. That was until she felt Tsunami start shaking her head.
"You want Riyuki to sit next to you?" the nice lady asked Tsunami; Sophie was unsure if Tsunami even know what they were talking about. Tsunami nodded her head but wouldn't let go of the nice lady. Tsunami, may not have understood everything they had said but she know that she didn't want those mean boys anywhere near her. But the boy that had handed her Mr. Clingly; he was nice. Tsunami could just tell she never understood it but she just never liked people, maybe it had something to do with the way her parent treated her and her brothers or the fact that the kids at her preschool used to make fun of Tsunami for carrying around her monkey every where. The nice lady handed her to the boy that had been sitting next to her before pulling a book bag towards her. She first handed Tsunami the blue sippy cup which she happily took and started drinking. The nice lady than pulled out something to wipe Tsunami's face which was red and puffy from the tears.
"There mum we moved her buster seat." another boy said jumping out of the car. He looked like the boy that was holding her although his hair was black and not brown. To Tsunami he looked like Tomoe all for the fact that his hair was pulled back like Riku.
"Oops sorry mum but I dropped her monkey in the mud." a third boy said holding Mr. Clingly up by his arm. This one looked like Riku although his hair was like Tomoe. This was confusing her so did these boys look like her brothers, who where they.
"Your hurting him." Tsunami said reaching one of her hands out for her monkey. She didn't really care if he was dirty or not. After all Tomoe always said that with the fact that Tsunami wouldn't let him go when she was eating or playing at the park; he often needed just as many baths as she did. The one that looked like Tomoe took the Monkey and handed it the the little girl when is youngest brother refused to hand it over. germ freak.
"Ryan, Riyuki, Richard this is Tsunami Yagami and she will be stay with us until her mother get's her act together. Now I am sure you have notice that Tsunami here doesn't speak english that much so I am going to need you guys to help her as much as you can. Tsunami you can trust these three, and think of them as your new big brothers. But instead of two you now have three. " Sophie said to her three sons and Tsunami but when Tsunami tilt her head to the side in confusing; it wasn't until Riyuki laid her head on his shoulder did you see her yawn and fell asleep...
