I am shy.(Kitten) Blitz

I feel my heart pounding as I rush off through the streets away from the shopkeeper. I just tried to steal a bit of food. I'm famished. My cheekbones are becoming more prominent as I starve to death. I push past people in the streets as I think about what I tried to do.

I go into a little allyway and start to cry. I curl into a ball and cry. I got bullied more at school today. I think about the awful caretaker at the orphanage, stuffing his mouth as my sister died. I can't stand it any more. I cover my face in my hands and weep some more. I feel cold tracks of tears on my face. I know that my eyes are puffy and red but I keep crying silently.

Jessie had been in the alleyway for some time when she heard the foot steps of a child running her way. She was so used to the sound being in a house of younger brothers. She paused, and placed a small book down. This was where she came for quiet away from the house of 5 siblings running a muck. As she closed the book, she looked down and saw the child curled up and crying and sighed.

Great... another one... She thought to herself and cleared her throat. She didn't know exactly what to say, only to walk toward the child and make sure he was okay in a way.
"Hey kid....you okay?" She spoke softly as she knelt down beside his tiny frame. Her hat tipped over, covering them both from the light that shinned through.

I look up to see an older girl with dark red hair and kind eyes staring down at me. I feel kind of worried as my shyness acts up. She asks,"Are you all right?" I nod and say in my tiny voice, "Yah." I still have tear tracks on my face and my eyes are still puffy. The girl seems to be all right.

She sighed slightly and noticed the tears, she had already had dealt with her baby brother crying this morning, what was one more sad child in 10. She smiled softly and grabbed an old box near by and sat down next to the boy and took in a deep breath.  'Crying child... looks poor, but i don't know him....'


She forced her smile to be loving as she held out her hand to him.
"Let's get you cleaned up and home, I'm sure someone must be worried about you?"  

She asked him with concern in her older, wiser eyes.  Sometimes she felt she was well beyond her years as she tucked her book into her jacket and stood up with her hand still held out.

"Let's get you cleaned up and home. I'm sure someone must be worried about you." She said. I feel a pang as I realize there is no one for me at the orphanage currently. My brother is out at work still."No one is going to be worried about me." I said. Tears start to roll silently out of my eyes again. The orphanage instructor hates me. Why did my dad have to go and commit suicide? I don't know but for now this is how I love. Her kind eyes see still staring down at me with concern in them.

She frowned at his reaction but tried to keep a level head, not really sure what to do about the situation unfolding before her as she pulled her hand away.  She wasn't sure how to handle it, what to really say and so she sat back down on the box and waited for him to calm down again.

"Well, I'm going to sit here with you until you calm down and maybe we can get you some lunch and you can tell me all about it.  How does that sound?"


She kept her gentle smile on her face and waited patiently, never moving almost as if she was used to this kind of thing.

She's crazy. Who is Rich enough in District 10 to buy lunch for Someone else and themselves. I don't complain though. "Ok." I whisper. She seems nice enough. I stop crying but my eyes are still puffy and there are still tear tracks on my face.
