Silence Is The Past

We had been walking fast for about half an hour and the little girl was really tired,

"Can we stop for a minute please?" she said out of breath,

we found a spot behind some bushes and sat there for a while, the little girls kitten suddenly woke up and wriggled around the basket,

"It's ok Snowy don't worry" she said putting her hand in and stroking it,

"Snowy, thats a nice name" I said trying to make a conversation,

"Yeah?, I named her after the snow we had a couple of days ago" she said smiling at me,

I smiled back and then looked at Mr Smith, he was majorly tired and cold, we still hadn't found him a top, I offered him mine but he insisted I kept it on, I moved next to him and hugged his side, he wrapped his arms around me and we sat there, the little girl watched with a puzzled face as we just sat there,

"What are you doing?" she said in her sweet little voice,

"Mr Smith is cold and he doesn't have a top" I said snuggling him more,

"But what are you doing to him?" she asked again, her face still puzzled,

"I'm hugging him to get him warm" I said pointing out the obvious,

"Hugging?, whats hugging?" she asked so confused,

it was like she hadn't heard the word hugging or even seen it, Mr Smith shivered slightly and I quickly hugged him tighter, the little girl then stood up and walked over to the other side of Mr Smith, she had brang over her basket with her kitten in, and sat down next to him,

"How do you do it?" she asked confused,

"Um...you just wrap your arms around him and hold onto him" I said a little surprised,

she sat a little closer to Mr Smith and wrapped her little arms around him, he moved his arm that was closer to her and wrapped it round her, there we were in some field/park place with Mr Smith being hugged by 2 girls. A few hours later we were all still in the same place, Mr Smith was much warmer as I had fallen asleep and had been snuggling up to him even more, and as the little girl was still holding on to him,

"Thank you girls but I now think we should get a move on and see if we can find a place to stay for the night" Mr Smith said in his gentle voice,

the little girl got off him first and sat there watching me still holding onto him,

"And you baby" Mr Smith said as he moved his hand to my chin and lifted my head,

"I'm sorry baby" I said and then sat up and looked the other way,

his hand had left my chin when I moved but it was soon there again, he moved my face to look at him and kissed me gently on the lips, he leant over me so I was laying on my back on the cold, wet grass with Mr Smith on top of me slightly, we were there kissing and then we heard a scream, we both sat up quickly and saw the little girls basket on its own,

"Little girl" I called out,

Mr Smith's face was panicky, he stood up and looked over some of the bushes near by, I looked in the basket and saw the little kitten rolled up in a ball shaking like crazy, I put my hand in and started stroking it very gently, it was warm and soft,

"It's ok little one, we'll find that little girl" I said talking to it gently,

Mr Smith came back over and told me he couldn't find her, I stood up with the basket, my hand still in the basket,

"We've got to find her, she knows what to do with this kitten" I said staring at Mr Smith,

Mr Smith was staring back at me, but then I moved slightly and he was looking behind me, I turned around and saw my carer with the little girl, she had one hand over her mouth and the other one around her neck,

"Get off her" I shouted at her,

"Oh the talking Crystal" she said evily,

"Get off her now" I said, I put the basket down on the floor, and stepped forward towards her, Mr Smith quickly got hold of my hand and stopped me, I didn't look back at him as my eyes were glaring at the smug look on my carers face, the little girl screamed and bite my carers finger, she quickly had a chance to get free and she luckly did, she ran over to us and hid behind Mr Smith, he let go of my hand and I charged at my carer, Mr Smith shouted at me but I didn't listen to him, I got to her and stood straight infront of her,

"I hate you"

she looked at me evily and then looked at me up and down like trying to imagine me as someone else,

"You look just like your mum before your dad killed her" she said suddenly,

my face turned to shock, I couldn't move from where I was and that meant I was in major danger, I could hear Mr Smith shouting at me to move but I couldn't it was like someone had glued my feet to the floor and had frozen me in ice,

"Yes you look just like Melinda" she said talking about my mother again,

the anger inside me was over flowing, I wanted to hit her so badly but I knew it wouldn't help anything, I started to step back and then I turned my back upon her, Mr Smith watched as I walked safely towards him, my face so still with anger, my carer then stepped back when I had got to Mr Smith,

"I will get you back Melinda" she shouted to me,

when I heard my mums name I glared at her, she laughed and then ran off, the little girl grabbed the basket and looked inside,

"Your ok Snowy" she said gently to the kitten,

the kitten was calm again, Mr Smith wrapped me into him and my eyes couldn't hold back the tears any more, I started crying badly, Mr Smith's hold got tighter when I started, he helped me with everything and made me feel so calm. After a couple of minutes crying I looked up at him, he looked down and smiled,

"Ok now that tickled" he said cheering me up,

I smiled and placed my face back where it had been, I kissed his bare chest where I had been crying and I felt him shiver, I looked up at him and saw his face shocked,

"Sorry" I said to him,

he looked down and smiled,

"Thats ok, it just suprised me thats all" he said calming down a little,

the little girl had been walking around the field so she didn't have to watch us hugging, she came back and stood there,

"Do you love her?" she asked Mr Smith,

he nodded and her face changed to shock, she turned to me and then back at Mr Smith,

"But she's like really young" she said still shocked,

"I know I'm young but it doesn't matter, when your in love you can't stop loving them" I said feeling a little annoyied as she was saying stuff like this,

"I wouldn't know, a 19 year old girl and I don't have a clue" she said suprising me and Mr Smith,

"Your 19?" Mr Smith asked,

"Yep, I have to act like a little girl as of my height and that my mum told me too" she said looking to the floor,

me and Mr Smith were completely shocked, she was 19, older then me I felt like the baby of the bunch and a little worried, she took a fond to Mr Smith I just hope she won't take him away from me, it may sound selfish but I love him,

"So whats your name?" Mr Smith said while I was thinking,

"My name is Rice, I know it's stupid but my mum couldn't think of another name for me" she said still looking at the floor,

"Well hello Rice and it's not a stupid name" Mr Smith said cheering her up.
