A Kid
(Arline's P.O.V)
Me and Dandelion were collecting stuff for Zalgo, usually Peter would do it but since he has xeroderma pigmentosum he can't go out in the sun. As me and Dandelion were checking the list we both heard a little whimper, when we turned around we saw a little girl no more than six. She had brown hair, blue eyes and looked as if she went through hell and back.
"Oh dear Zalgo, are you alright dear" Dandelion asked, worry, filling her voice. The child didn't answer, just ran the opposite way, I teleported in front of her stopping her from going anywhere.
"Hey stop, we just want to help" I said, she backed up but couldn't go anywhere because Dandelion was behind her.
"P-please, just don't tell them where I am" she begged, tears coming to her eyes. Dandelion looked at me and I shot her a confused look
"Tell who darling," Dandelion said, folding her legs so she could be at a closer height than her.
"The-them, I don't want to be a part of that terrible family" she cried, tears now over-filling her eyes. Dandelion pulled her in for a hug,
"Don't worry dear, we won't let them hurt you. Now what's your name" Dandelion asked her as the child cried into her chest. She stopped making any noise for a second and then spoke.
"I-I don't know, they just called me child" I looked at Dandelion who was in deep thought.
"Well then," she said standing up with the kid in her arms, I followed her standing up too wondering what she was going to say.
"We need to name you, don't we" She said, smiling.
"Like any of us can come up with a good name" I said looking at the kid in her arms who seemed to have stopped crying.
"How bout, Lyra" Dandelion said,
"Do you like the name Lyra?
"I love it" she said smiling
"Dandelion, how are we gonna get Lyra in the castle y'know Zalgo doesn't like us bringing live people there" I said a million images of what might happen flooding my mind. As soon as I said that I looked at Lyra to see if she heard that, thankfully she didn't and was in fact dozing off.
"Zalgo will have to deal with it" She said, narrowing her eyes looking at the woods we were just about to enter.
