My cold skin was slick with morning dew when I pulled myself from it to start the hunt for a trinket to present Missy with. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcp7tKGfG3
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVi3oyus9c
I still had some time before her voice would call on the wind. I'd find something beautiful to add to the collection I had already bestowed her with. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxowqfK3Nhz
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5Wwytk437
Last time was a crumpled can stuffed with plucked wildflowers. I could do better this time. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7W5Qe1dDS
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XiAo6A08o
My hunt turned up an empty paper cup still with the plastic lid and straw attached. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWDKr5tfJ6
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUt9kE1u8w
My heart thudded with excitement when I pulled the straw free to place it down. I turned my attention to the plastic lid that I flipped over and sliced with my claw into segments. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6nahpa4sj
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9LjGpRrc4
Ripping the paper cup along its length, I tore it into smaller segments, each with poked holes in the middle, so I could split it like I had done with the cup and fold in the rough edges. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPVCm937Jn
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEumt5wxsJA
I pushed and crimped the paper until all the layers came together on the plastic bottom. I forced the straw back through, squashing the top into a ball. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiWVhlITXi
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36i7rF4HVQ
I held up my flower with pride, twirling its torn petals to see it present the flashes of colour that had been printed on the cup. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOELAnNVqyG
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYudsEwHgt
Would she like it? Should I make more? 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64mXdJLRK0
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoEct3yMP3
I scanned the roadside to see a bottlecap embedded into the gravel there. There was a plastic bag further to my right. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWHpS8Z8YQ
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8FbzElqee
One would do then. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw1hKsCmow
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5C9WG00Zn
Bartie was already there when I made my travel with the straw gently gripped around my teeth. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmipjJ9DzG
He held a magazine today that was folded on the crossword page. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0wl37NCBx
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0GLo5hgPD
"You be good to her, Soup!" he warned me with a raise of the paper while I continued past him "don't be giving her trouble, you hear?" 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva4dexHPUO
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSruTJeB1Aw
I caught sight of Missy's red hair stuffed beneath her blue helmet outside her house. She had on a dark red trench coat over her yellow dress that tried to peek beneath it. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl4nh4CDAH
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIZ7mM6VGP
She was going somewhere. She never wore that red jacket any other time. It was her best one. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfHn117eZs
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQR5t743rI
I raced along the tracks towards her and watched as she wheeled out her scooter to haul up the stand. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUg7iz8q5v
Everything inside me fell at the sight of her laying down a bowl of water and thin vegetable soup in the grass she stomped down. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FbbMSCKQ9
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pmFDPQMWs
"I've got to go" she apologised through her saddened tone "It’s not much, but I think it should be delicious."587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGtGcwTPH3
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBdEwvqdj2
Wasn't she taking any for herself? The crate was only filled with parcels again. She didn't have room to fit food. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGyslCJ3OU
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKVbrc9nu4
I lifted up the flower to her when she sat on her scooter to heave it forwards off the stand. The whole thing lurched but she wrestled it under control so she could start it up. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmewC5d7s3
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASoGUHQgxS
"Thank you" she smiled warmly to it, her eyes softening at the gesture "I'll hang onto this, OK? Maybe the people at the big city will like it?" 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBmgwWA8gF
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviV7BAGQ83
No. It was only for you to enjoy. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cb9KPbPDy
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8HpphYUH1
"Got to go!" Missy panicked and shoved the flower down the side of the parcels when she looked ahead to see the train racing along the tracks "love you! Be good!" 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88eZiRODmj
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VWAXbFTT1
She took off as fast as her scooter would allow her. It cut a path through the grass and struggled to keep up as the train easily graced the beginning of the bridge and powered on. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgSPeN2RwD
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QqaH6C7e5
I watched her speed for it desperately. Inside, I was hoping she would be just a little bit too late so she would have to come home and enjoy her time with me. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wD8oU1BVX
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6vJJrKMAK
I saw her skid when she turned the corner to fly across the tracks and rush to park up her scooter while the train pulled into the station with a huff of its brakes. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy1DKTX6nJ
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4QOkrcfM8
Her figure fumbled with her parcels and the flower before jumping aboard with only mere moments to spare. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95Zu2Jgcqt
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsUR3dKCVW
The train blared its horn then peeled from the station to quickly gather speed past the house. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzPgUndV4N
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF16VkgaWWg
Missy slammed open a window, waving out to me. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t8VwMWdRZ
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4NkWASYNc
"I'll see you tonight, Soup!" she called out "sorry!" 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMWvsClnvt
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqbfxgMaKE
Her hand hung out the window, waving for a little while longer, until it was pulled back inside by the momentum speeding her off into the distance. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX4gza03aU
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrJK1QBb7P
I didn't chase her today. I just sat there with the watery soup, trying to drag out its bitter flavour that was far too diluted to even be called food. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDie9xOKFOj
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMi6pmlUWj
Not her best. She must have put everything into that nice one last night. It was a compromise she was willing to take. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfNKfgaDs8
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiec6xaNW9h
She'd be gone for hours. Maybe I could do something helpful and try to find a way to trickle some extra funds into her pocket? 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQrqFJkZpd
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqm1F3KikW
I peered back to the house she had left in a hurry instead.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5awVAPxHVI
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqeiw3zqNr
She'd benefit more if I prepared something for her to come home to. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEdOp4GFkR
It'd be a nice surprise to have a warm house and hot food. She could even believe Bartie had waddled his way down here to do it for her. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPgVV2a2gs
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF6w8P80qB
A stretch, but a believable one. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ivYxK0DVz
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwl2X6vwN8
I knew Missy didn't have locks on her windows. I could climb through the kitchen one and start there. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJLlq0p4JN
She always locked her front and back doors. There was no use trying that. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiuCAv3QxT
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ezjYJGAb8
I clambered over the sink piled with dirty dishes and pots beneath the window, hooking my toes in the basin on my awkward crawl through. I desperately gripped onto the stone bench so I didn't slice my feet on the knives laid across it and go tumbling to the ground. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fE6IPsS2U
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwfourGUP3
After managing to unfold myself from the kitchen bench, I stood there to grimace at the mess left behind. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBz750ao3h
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91rSmWUIZM
She really must have been in a rush. The pot from last night was here too with some water in the bottom to soak off the residue that clung to the water like a film. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2tetYofxA
Utensils littered the cold water I dipped my claws into, and splatters of soup were still speckled across the oven behind me. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡublP7PawNN
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFninonUyND
She'd be so pleased she wouldn't have to tackle this when she got back in her exhausted state. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE30l16iknY
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ696jntqUQC
I'd be better to do this in my human form. I could even give it some care too with a hot shower and proper food from Missy's fridge. She wouldn't notice if a little of it went missing. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL6SRJjnL9
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VarzIGHOH
I shivered in anticipation at the thought of warm water and soothing soap sliding over my skin. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDkwUNRrEF
It was a luxury I hadn't had since I decided to live like this. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOLG1iM1ai
People weren't exactly throwing bars of soap or bathtubs on the side of the road either. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwGnibiMbo
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uFOD4KDUq
Finding the shower was easy in her little home with barely any rooms within it. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3HGC51Vag
The kitchen and loungeroom beside it were one combined area by the front door. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuU6jjpHQR
The door to the left was her sewing room. The one beside that was her bedroom. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc71OAfMr34
The back door had another to the right of it where I finally found the bathroom and the shower piled with all sorts of scrubs, lotions, and soaps.1234 copyright protection583ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOf8X8xgcv 尼

I didn't know how dirty I was until I reformed my skin and stepped into the warmth billowing clouds of heat around me. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykVtGdhdjg
The water ran like mud from my body I scrubbed at and slathered with all sorts of food-scented products. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdxdO8SMkx
My black hair was saved from most of the neglect since it fell out when I took my wild form. Having it sprout back so rapidly made it burn at my scalp I tried to calm with cooling shampoos and conditioners. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqw9XWCpYl
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrchDc3NaTe
Missy didn't own any clothing that would fit me, and I wasn't about to go digging through her belongings to make sure. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmWzzfkF1c
The dark blue towel I buffed my body with became my new skirt I tied around my waist to have some sort of decency during the housework. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98gV6o7xcG
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2cpBp6sil
I flipped on the radio she had nestled on a cupboard in the kitchen and felt the energy of the music flood through me. It motivated me to hunt through the cupboards for spray and cloth so I could start on the splatter on the walls. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLepSgYE9Bu
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfS6znxZfc
I drained the old water to fill the sink and pick through the dangerous submerged mess beneath the bubbles clouding them. I bopped to the contagious tunes, tapping my feet happily while seeing things slowly come together. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4VdLYPAiv

The coffee table had the magazines across it restacked into the corner. The empty cup of coffee dropped into the sink, and the ceramic coasters of mosaic landscapes were replaced in their holder. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNvNsQxud3

The back door was thrown open to let through the fresh breeze and filter out the stale air. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3Y4yx7Ymt
It swept through the home and back out the windows I peeled up to help move the positive energy through the home. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQbpWHk2ys
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EozIemVdj
The garden a few steps from the back stairs was looking choked with weeds. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJxInHAGcj
I snatched up the basket at the backdoor and headed for the rows of vegetables drooping under the sunlight. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3gUhsOWOs
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDCuTOi0kp
Hosing them down filled me with satisfaction. Plucking out the grass and baby thistles gave her beloved vegetables a new hope in their raised beds I skimmed through for the biggest heads I could pluck. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IvFhv8Xs4
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeA1WxXEi8
The garden was still in early stages of replanting. I only had a few carrots and potatoes to heap into the basket looped over my arm. The pumpkins tangled in a growth of leaves were far too small to rip from the stems, and the new row of corn was barely breaking the surface of the dirt. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtLkeoIZoi
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5ZW3RFEy3
Missy was also trying to grow a little bush of blueberries in the corner. There were strawberries showing promise through their nibbled leaves I lifted up to inspect. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY8WxfEAUF
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluU6V7JvSk
Looked like rabbits. I'd have to deal with them before she baited them and tainted their meat. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzQEh7fnD0
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdFRNzNLWL
The new vegetables made a nice pile on the benchtop while I fished through the fridge to find the soups Missy had stored into reusable containers. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGimKKL02G
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkGGVgf8aX
The watery vegetable one could be poured into the nice beef one to bulk it out and diminish the poor taste. With all the flavour in the beef one, the added vegetables would give it more heart. The fresh ones I had washed and cut could help stretch it further for her without destroying her hard work.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0bIgotI8b
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcSrQlrhXY
The stove clicked and snapped to life to steadily boil the soups I poured into the pot over it. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukr3Y7oH6h

A few herbs from the window wouldn't hurt. I threw them in too and increased the heat before continuing my cleaning of the house. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcpgedhoOX

Music thumped through the silence when I stepped back to admire my work. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOvqxVzFY7
The combined living area looked homely and inviting. On the coffee table I had even placed the baby thistles pulled from the garden into a little brown bottle I found sitting beside her bin. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1P2hYeNDW
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsIdwqXCqf
Somehow, it worked. The spikes of the thistle leaves and the peeking purple fluffed at the top of the close heads added a rugged beauty to the wooden table. It wasn't soft wildflowers, but it was something I was sure she'd appreciate nether less. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaGHanIWQK
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoODusZRtz
Saving the soup from the heat, I poured myself a steaming bowl and nestled into her couch to enjoy a job well done. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uoaN8i8Zs
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOPo1aAP5j
The flavour was as hearty as the original batch with the added rosemary clinging to the beef and the basil wrapped into the multitude of vegetables buried beneath the brown broth. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom6eMS9Rbi
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRFNPZtKGT
Missy will love this. There wasn't a hint of the sadness that was the soup she had thrown together today. She'd come home to something that would warm her soul as much as mine. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWAfif8Sry
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMNNcpcYwe
I smiled around my spoon, savouring every bit of warmth slipping over my tongue. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBXkiAIYnM
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fV0loKA9v
It'd be better if she came through those doors, expecting me to be here. She'd smile at the sight of me, and I'd go over to kiss her cheek before asking her how her day was. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoUD9XzOl9
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLWWABy5gZ
Maybe she'd have stories of the big city to tell? She did like this one man who pretended to be a statue in the square. It fascinated her how resolved he was amongst all the faces refusing to look at him. Missy liked to throw change into his hat just to see him smile. She understood his struggle a little too well. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLB7xax6sW
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypjMqWkOJp
She could come speeding home, screaming out my name and jumping around the house that she sold every one of her dresses today. We'd hold each other and celebrate with a lavish cake from the bakery. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirVjJghRmh
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDviAqhIZe
But I had to be gone before she saw me here. I wouldn't get to see her reaction or comfort her if it all went wrong. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAO1Def8zE
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QPRfNVa4Y

I wasn't meant to be here. I couldn't be here. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpby9DVJa9
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0XG7ORRDl
I had to get out. I didn't want to see her fear flitting at me or listen to the way her breathing trembled. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71CQTjCLMY

The front door was still open in Missy's pursuit for her intruder. I'd go for that. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1xHTjB6QN
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HjO07z1JX
Missy backed up immediately when I darted around her and raced for the door. I hesitated on the front porch but saw her running after me.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi1WSfedbz

"Soup!" she called out, arm outstretched. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzul0THhABm
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscVCN3BXpq
No. She couldn't see me here. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q44EyVGF9
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBTTIsCKPb
I scrambled down the stairs as her feet pounded on the wood behind me and slithered through the tall grass to find refuge only a few paces away. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnxsBZaRIC

Missy gripped the fence, scanning blindly with tears in her eyes. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2qB7jovpp
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP84Gr2EZxB
"Soup!" her voice called, shaking "wait! You don't have to go!" 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltwhRILjKI
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsV0iYgtf5
She covered her mouth with the back of her hand to try and stifle the sob that slipped through. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTNWMHTCeT
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSjDCJ6JqW
I wanted to comfort her but knew I couldn't. She was already suspicious of my presence and would confirm her own theories if I returned. I'd ruin it for the both of us. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRNlNRHQZw
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c9apQ0Q0x
I moved, turning for the safety of the East. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUHJVZRMsi

"Soup?" Missy sniffled at the rustling of the grass, her head lifting in my direction. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS24QzzqAOU
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSBkAvyrrc
I bolted for the tracks before she could try and call me back, keeping my eyes firmly on the safety of the bridge shrouded in darkness where I knew she wouldn't be able to reach me. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfojHskkBpi
587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYigrSMx0b
She would have a clear head tomorrow. She'd sleep on her silly stories and realise that I couldn't possibly have done all that; her simple pet. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVlKpuAJxe
She'd be happy, knowing that she would still have no burdens in her life, and things would go back to pleasant chit-chat over food together.587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0W5MbidSz
I'd love her silently and she would dream of bright futures where everyone wore her dresses. 587Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWaByYz1Hd
It would be how it was. 1234 copyright protection583ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIAuEJxdhE 尼
