Patricia

Restless, Naya rolled back and forth on the couch . Almost as if she was desperately trying to find a suitable sleeping position - to be able to rest for a quiet moment. For a few minutes this procedure went on and finally the blonde opened her eyes. She don´t know -how long she had slept - but where exactly was she?

"Okay Naya dear - you will not panic again now, everything is okay - Barry saved us and took us to his home," Leslie said, trying to reach Naya somehow with her words.

"He´s the cute one right? Like super hot?" Helena asked in the round.

"That you have to use some words from the youth language in almost every sentence is - exhausting," said Jason.

"Nerd be quiet - thank you," replied Helena and ignored the words of the light giving personality.

"She just can´t handle the situation and it was - good of Barry that he helped us," Brandon agreed with Helena's statement.

"What do we do now, not that Naya panics again and wants to run away from here," Colin wanted to know.

"Where exactly are we? did anyone hear what Barry said something about that - before he dropped Naya on the sofa?" Brandon asked.

"Barry mentioned - we're at his house," Fynn answered.

"Great - so Barry's home is a very strange-looking living room - good to know," Helena said almost.

"Surely it's just part of Barry's home," Jason suggested.

"And now, we still don´t know how to help Naya," Brandon recalled.

"We should do something - Naya becomes mentally unstable" Fynn said seriously.

"We wait Fynn - let Naya have the chance to explain to Barry what happened - maybe she's ready to trust him and tell him our story," Leslie said urgently, knowing how well that Fynn was right.

"Fynn's right - unless we make it clear to Naya that she has to give us control - it will not end well," Colin said thoughtfully.

"Wow - you want to lock Naya in a cage, so that we can take control?" Helena wanted to know.

"That's not nice," Liana said.

"There are considerations and no one has said anything about us wanting to lock Naya a cage," said Brandon.

"We would take it as - a time off for Naya - or make it different for Barry and Co and for Kevin, we don´t know why he's not there, why we've never seen him - but Barry and Co may have their reasons for that," Fynn said and thus tried to bring some peace in the discussion.

"We'll wait and see what happens," Leslie said and the meeting ended. The other people who lived in Naya's body - would observe how the young woman would deal with the situation - before they would intervene ...

I was confused - what if Barry had taken me with him - why was I in his living room? Did he have to drive far? What about his work at the zoo? Did he get in trouble? Would my sister Ashley come here and find me? Would she do to me one of those cruel things - as she had done then? Why had not I been able to sleep on the sofa? Why was the fear still there? And why was I alone?

"Or should I go find Barry - what if Ashley finds me, why does she want to find me again, we have not seen each other for years", I asked myself and I did not care that I started it again To talk to myself - it was completely irrelevant if that was strange or not. It was normal to me.

"Yeah ... okay ... I'm trying to calm down Leslie - well, so I'm in a living room...in Barry's living room," I replied to Leslie's motherly well-intentioned advice - that I should calm down and be safe now , After all, Barry had lifted me up and carried me here - nothing bad would happen to me.

...

Carefully, I looked around the living room - it was very old-fashioned, there were a few shelves with all kind of stuff in it, as far as I could tell from my seat on the sofa.

"Hm? No idea if Jade wants to talk about attractive teen actors - I don´t even know when and if he will come"

At the moment, I could only shake my head and not understand why Helena wanted to talk to Jade about attractive teen actors - it was not enough that they danced together in the club and I and the others had a terrible headache afterwards.

"If Ashley finds me ... I cannot put anyone in danger" I said to myself. My sister is not that easy and I dont want the one Person I like, as Barry gets into an awkward situation, for example.

As the door to the living room opened and the clack of heels could be heard, I straightened up on the sofa and my green eyes watched attentively, slightly unsure of who came in now. The person did not look like Jade or Felicia. She wore a black skirt, a red top and had a necklace around. Before that, the person hold a cup of tea and she had a friendly smile and moved closer to the sofa.

"We don´t know each other yet Naya - I'm Patricia"

Patricia handed me a cup of jasmine tea, which I took cautiously and watched as the feminine woman next to me took a seat on the Sofia.

"H..Hello Patricia I am pleased to meet you - thanks for the tea", I thanked and tried to suppress the fear.

"You don´t have to be scared of me Naya - is there anything you want to talk about ... Barry told me , he found you outside the gorillas' outskirts - you've got a broken state on him - he's worried and - you can trust me Naya", said Patricia - there was the friendly tone in her voice , almost an motherly smile again and I thought about it.

"It ... it's a long story ..." I said after a few seconds.

"I have time and you having a cup of tea, it makes it much easier to talk", Patricia said encouragingly - could I trust her to tell her about my past?

Yes - I trusted Barry and Patricia did not seem to make an weird look as as Dennis - it was worth a try, all I have to do is find the courage.
