I was at home with my siblings, taking turns with Rebekah to see who could touch Daddy and run back to our room without being touched. So far, neither of us had won. He was leaving for a day and I don't know why he would leave us.
I saw him headed toward the door so I ran after him and caught his leg before he left the house. He looked at me and smiled. I smiled back. "Daddy please don't leave. I love you." I cried and laid my head on his leg.
He picked me up from under my arms and sat me on his hip. I kissed him and he gave an even wider smile. He gave me a kiss to my forehead. "Sorry but Father has to leave. I need to go help feed the other clan. They're running low on food supplies." He hugged me and tried to hand me over to Mother. I snuggled into her arms and hid my face in her hair.
He left and she smiled and kissed my forehead. "Okay children. Eat your breakfast and then it's time to go see Ayanna."
"I love Aya." I replied. She put me down and I ate my breakfast. She led us over to Aya's house and she spoke to her. I played with Elijah and Rebekah while they talked and Rebekah jumped me to the floor. Aya shooed her off. Mother smiled at us and then left.
When I got bored of playing with my siblings, Aya decided to take us for a walk. I was happy and began to run around looking at everything. Flowers, trees, plants, clouds. Anything. After a while, I realized I was lost.
I looked around to find nothing but trees. I walked for a while, trying to find where I was. I found a puppy with pointy ears that pointed to the sky, pointy teeth, and a longish neck. I walked toward the puppy with my arms outstretched towards it.
I was picked up from behind. "Oh no you don't! Wolves are dangerous." I was turned around and I saw a man with blonde hair and blue eyes. I struggled but he was being nice to me as he carried me somewhere in the forest. I clung to him and I saw Mommy. I waved at her. "Hello Mommy." He said. I leaned up to him and gave him a kiss. They laughed at me and I frowned.
"Say hello."
"Hello."
"Hello Niklaus. Nice to meet you. My name's Tyler."
"Tylwer!" He nodded. I squirmed in his arms. "Down." He put me down and I picked up a stick, a game I played with Elijah. I handed him one and began to smack his stick with mine. He played with me until mine broke. I felt tears rise in my eyes. He handed me his, which made me smile. I rose it to the sky.
"You are the victor!" Tyler cheered.
"Yay Niklaus." Mommy cried. I clapped and spotted a butterfly fly by. "Look!" they did and smiled.
"A butterfly." Tyler replied.
"Buwwerfly." I tried to follow it but Mommy picked me up.
"Sorry Ty. I have to take him back. Mikael will be here in an hour."
"It's okay." He kissed my cheek and I snuggled into Mommy's hair and heard him kiss Mommy's cheek. She carried me to the village again and Aya scolded me. I frowned, close to tears.
"It's okay Niklaus. You have been a good boy. A very good boy." Mommy kissed my forehead and took us home to take our naps.
