<That’s right,
Jewels, Good girl.> I told her in the Glen language. As she laid on my chest and was talking to me questioning things
that were around her I looked real quick at the ones beside us. Ursa and buddi were still fast a sleep. I looked to the other bed, Jaysa was still a sleep as well, it was just me and Jewels
for the time being.
<where my
Mamma?> My heart tore at her question.
<your Mamma had
to go away. She left you and your brother to me, your aunt Selena.> the cub
nodded understanding my words.
After bit I told the
child to play of the floor for a bit so that I could rest again.
I was wakened by a
loud cry, looking to my left I noticed that Jaysa was
the one that was doing the crying.
“Something scare you
Jaysa?” I
asked him sitting back up and pulling him to me. He was still crying as I tried
to soothe him it wasn’t working by my laying there, carefully I got up out of
bed and started walking with him trying to get him to stop.
Hearing Grubbi clear
his throat behind me I cringed.
“Grubbi he was
crying I had to do something! He was fussing enough that he wasn’t going to
stop with me just laying there.” I said passing back and forth with the cub,
“I’ll lay back down as soon as I get him to sleep
again he’s scared. And I’m not about to put him down. Not
right now I’m not anyways.” I told him pacing with the toddler.
<It’s alright
you’ll be fine, they’re not going to hurt you no more, Sweetheart.> I told
the cub in Glen <The ones from the slave camps are not able to get you my
son.> I told him holding him gently. Not paying attention to Grubbi’s and
not bound to either.
