Daphne POV
I watch Virginia as we cycle down the pathway in the forest, occasionally looking around the place as well, every day I look around, hoping to find a clue about where I came from, maybe signs that someone has come looking for me or maybe posters of me, but then again after all these years it would be a long shot.
I can even remember where I was found, the bend around the corner, Tony found me when he and Virginia were walking down this path way, said I was a bloody mess, my clothes torn…and well you know the rest.
Suddenly without looking in front of me which I should have been doing, I hear a crash and look just about in time to see myself crashing into Virginias bike and feeling myself flying and landing hard on the floor, only feeling a pain in the back of my head before it all goes black.
"Daphne, Daphne!"
I blink a few times at hearing Virginia shouting my name, blinking some more times until my vision goes from blurry to sharp again. I look at her finally to see her looking down at me worried, but then my eyes focus on her forehead where there's a cut that's bleeding,
"Virginia, your heads bleeding, are you alright?" I ask, hearing her sigh, helping me sit up, I take a deep breath feeling a little queasy at the sudden motion, I look around some to suddenly see in front of me a dog, looking right at me, ok that's a little un-nerving.
"I'm alright, but you have blood in your hear, I think you banged the back of your head" she says, I look to her from this, I touch my head, roaming backwards, suddenly hissing when I touch a sore spot, I look at my hand and indeed see blood.
"Damn, right well, there's a first aid kit at the restaurant. I'm guessing you ran into this fur ball" I say, inclining to the dog, jumping when it barks at me, I glare at it from this, never really liked dogs that well.
"Yeah, I swear he just ran out of no-where. I've checked him over, he seems alright but he doesn't have a collar" she says, I nod at this, letting her know I was listening
"Ok, well lets go" she says, I nod at this in agreement, I don't even want to know how late we are for work.
Carefully I get up, testing myself out for further injury, thankful that I don't find anything else hurt, must have just landed on my head ha!
I look to Virginia to see that she is standing all right. That's good, means I get to kick her butt for not looking where she was going.
I pick up my bike, finding that its tyres are bent in half, and I see that Virginias are the same, great that's going to cost us.
Stupid dog.
I start to lead the way, Virginia following after me until she's beside me, and the damn dog is following at her side,
"The boss isn't going to be happy with a dog in the restaurant" I say, us now out of the park, and seeing the dog is still walking with us, though on Virginias side, I don't mind this as I don't want to be near it anyway.
"I'll put him in the back and lock the door, can't have him wondering around and disturbing the customers" she says, I roll my eyes at this,
"You can't keep him hun, your dad wont be happy and its not something we can really afford right now" I say, trying to point facts out, beside the main one where I don't like dogs.
"I know, but I feel I'm responsible for him since I did run him over. And his owner wont exactly be happy either" she says, I shrug at this, opening the door to the back of the restaurant for her so we can put the bikes there, shutting the door behind me after she and the dog have gone in.
"And where have you two been? I've been covering you" says Daisy, I smile at her in thanks, going over to the first aid box, hearing Virginia telling her what happened. I get a wipe and begin the painful and stinging task of cleaning my wound, I'm surprised how much I bled to be honest, but am able to find where the blood is coming from and fit a bandage there, I'll just have to put my hair in a low ponytail so customers don't stare or laugh. I go over to Virginia while she and Daisy are fussing over the dog, I bring her head up to be facing me and wipe the blood off her head, seeing the close her eyes and a slight hiss from the antiseptic in the wipe, then after that's done I put a small plaster there, thankful that it wasn't too deep or too big.
"Suits you" I smirk, she playfully scowls at me as I put the first aid kit away, just hearing Daisy calling the dog 'Prince' oh yeah, fits well with his arrogant personality he seems to have.
I grab Virginia's aprons and mine and toss her hers, just walking outside to the customers, seeing at the corner of my eye Virginia putting the dog in the storage room.
I look around and ask Daisy whom she is going to, seeing her eyeing one of the customers, a dark haired man in REALLY rugged clothes, he looks like he's come out of a play,
"He's all yours," I say smirking at her, she winks at me from this, which leaves me with a couple on the other side of the seating area.
"Good evening, my name is Daphne I will be your waitress this evening. Can I take your drinks order?" I ask, getting my note pad and pen out when they nod, getting on with my job.
The couple were really nice, left me a nice tip, and it was nice seeing how romantic they were together, I hope one day I can find that.
