Chapter 2
A Safe Place to Stay
I woke up and stared at the ceiling of my living room. I thought about the dream I had had and about how I really needed to go get some food. I put my hands under my head to make a makeshift pillow. I went to sit up and noticed a reasonable weight on my chest. I looked down to see a curled up, orange filly. Still sound asleep. So it wasn't a dream, well then this is by far the oddest thing to ever happen to me. But it was also a very good thing. I had a purpose now. I had someone to take care of. As I sat in thought of the recent events, the little filly began to stir. She slowly opened her large green eyes. She turned her head from its place of right over my heart and looked me in the eyes. She sat there and just stared at me, as if saying," so…what now?" I laughed and said," I don't know either. But I am sure we will think of something." a picked up the filly and set her on the couch next to me. She tried to at least get back on my lap, but I had stood up to quickly and had left her on the couch. I felt bad about this and helped her down off the couch. She followed me into the kitchen and pleaded and begged with her eyes for something to eat. I looked through the cupboards and eventually found the bread. Then I had an idea. I kneeled down to the filly and opened her mouth. She had some teeth. so I pulled some carrots down as well and broke them apart with my hands. I feed them to her and she seemed to really enjoy them.
I decided to check the park to see if she could eat some grass. So I scooped her up and went to open the hatch. There was a very happy feeling in my heart which I couldn't explain. So I ignored it and opened the hatch. I set the filly down and sat on the grass, then I waited to see what she would do. She stared at me for the first few seconds. then I said," its alright, go ahead." she turned her gaze to the ground then began to chew on the grass. I sighed in relief and then I just sat there with her the whole afternoon.
It had been a year since I had found her, Things changed drastically between us when she did something unexpected. She spoke. It was a short and simple sentence but it was still words. We were playing outside, we were playing tag. After about two hours of nonstop tag, we collapsed on the ground near the hatch and laid there laughing. Then I stood up and looked to the sky. It would be dark soon. I sat back down next to her and said," c'mon honey, we need to get inside. I don't want anything to happen to you." She stood up and walked over to me, it was amazing how much she had grown. She was at neck level to me when I was sitting down. She came up to me and kissed my forehead. Then she said," I love you daddy." I nearly collapsed, it was just such a shock. I smiled and grabbed her head and kissed her on the forehead and responded with a soft and sweet," I love you to baby girl." I opened the hatch and she went down with me. I had put in stairs since she came to live here and it was a lot better than that old ladder. She walked off to her room and I walked to mine. I sat in bed for hours thinking about what she had said. I knew that living with me would turn me into her father figure. But that also made my whole life into something else, this whole bunker into something else. She made it a home. And quite frankly, that was something it had never been.
