“Fycan! Osc-natur”
“Melody!” I
called out excitedly as I ran over to her and hugging her tightly and kissing her forehead.
“Osc-natur”
She beamed at the response. Took her over to the counter and sat her down and
grabbed one of the fresh biskests that had pretty
much came out of the oven so they were still pretty warm but not hot. I put a
little jam, and honey on it and told her she could go ahead and have it. After
finishing it, she looked around and spotted one of the cats walking across the
floor.
Melody stared at it
for a moment, then turned serious trying with everything she had called out,
“At!”
“That’s right, Good
Girl, Mel! That’s the cat.”
“At, Fycan At” I
couldn’t believe it that she was actually starting to use common now. Not
wanting to push her any more that she wanted to go, I picked her up and
starting playing around with her. At the same time I was wondering if the other
two could do the same. I couldn’t wait to see.
As soon they came
down, I tried with them, no such luck. Oh well one out of three wasn’t too bad,
and besides those two would start soon.
I knew that one, neither Cyanne
or Chyanne like to be to far behind their
sister. I watched as Melody walked over to her sister, and started talking to
them. As they did, a knock at the door came.
I took note that they watched to see who would be on the other side.
Boy did they run
when they seen Stormy, and Lightning, they had wanted
to take at least some of my children off my hands so they could start working
more on the prank that was going to be pulled on Patty and Forest later that
spring. I told Lightning to go ahead and wake them up and that they could take
all but, Shanda, Skyla, or Timmy. Once I
had seen them off, I turned to my chair, and watched the triplets play, and was
enjoying the silence. The only ones I had left was the triplets, and they
seemed content as long as they were together, Sukura,
and the three that were stuck up in their room for the next couple of days yet.
I had to laugh at the thought, of Red meeting Elliot. That was going to be
something that wasn’t to be missed up yet it was going to happen. I shrugged it
off and went back to watching the three play. They
were talking in their own little language it seemed, only they weren’t talking
either Barbic or Common, it was their own little
thing. I was lost with what they were
saying and there was no way I was going to even try to guess what they had
said. So I just watched them play for a little while.
“Skyla get backup
stairs now!” I called without
looking knowing who was coming down she did it everyday trying to
get me to let up. She knew it didn’t work but she still kept it up. She did
this several times in a day, and I was starting to get tired of it.
“Skyla Videl if you come down and ask again there’s going to be
trouble.” She sighed and stomped back up the stairs, Chyanne ran over and hid her head in my lap. I picked her
up.
“Does Sky’s stomping
scare you?” The little girl nodded without looking up. I sighed as pulled her closer to me.
“I’m sorry it does.”
At least Chyanne was starting to understand me when I
talked common to her, even if she couldn’t speak it. As a loud thumping sound
came from upstairs, the other two ran behind me shaking. After taking a look at
the three of them I told them that I would be right back.
I walked up the
stairs and over to Skyla who was still stomping her feet has
hard as she could on the floor.
“Skyla Videl! What do you think you are doing?”
“I want to go down
stairs!”
“And you think that
you can get your way by stomping on the floor like that?” I asked her sternly.
“Your wrong its only going to get you into trouble.” I
told her as I gave her a couple hard swats then set her on her bed. “Now if you
start that again, you’ll get the spoon, Do you
understand me?” Sky nodded.
“Good.” That said I
headed down the stairs. And took hold of my three very
frightened little girls.
