Theas day had been, well intense, like most days she stole the leftovers from Tigers men. She did work there as a cook and cleaner so it is really easy to take them.
Even though the things she stole were going to be thrown out anyways as those guys disdain the idea of eating intestines and most other organs, they still didn't want anybody else to have them, they would rather throw them out so if she is caught, she didn't even finish her thoughts.
As a woman Thea has to deal with constant harrassment from Tigers men, she could have chosen to be their plaything and eat whatever she want but that idea made her want to throw up.
She would rather die than let those beasts touch her, fortunately they had not resolved to forcing themselves on her but they had made her hateful of men.
So when she heard miss Anitta say there was somebody creeping on her and the kids she lost her cool. The kids were the only reason she was working in that place.
She wouldn't tolerate anything bad happening to them. Now she was looking at a suspicion man who just jumped through a second floor window.
Could you please stop calling me a creep lady miss Anitta. The man said, his voice sounded young, even younger than hers. Who are you? She asked brandishing her metal spike threateningly.
Ah, sorry sorry, I'm not used to talking with people. I'm Ashborn. Ashborn? Lucys boy, is that you? She heard Anitta ask. Yes, Lucy was his mothers name and he was surprised this lady knew her. Oh my goodness you're alive.
It would appear so, the man replied with a bit of confusion. Why wouldn't I be alive again? I heard you got killed by a snake protecting little Lisa there.
Thea turned and looked at the girl, she looked about 9 or 10 years old. Big brother? The man waved. Thank God you alive, I thought... I thought.
The little girls said with tears, Thea was really confused here, she had no idea what happening, is this the creep, why does it like seem everybody but her knows him.
The man took off the cloth rapped around his face, he was handsome but calling him a man would be wrong, this was a boy. He looked about the same age as her. He had dark skin like hers but ashy white hair.
She was 19 but she wasn't sure about him, he could be younger, he did look a bit younger. Little Lisa ran up to hug him. Thank you for saving me from that monster big brother.
It okay I'm just glad you fine. I'm going to tell mom, she was really sad. No no don't do that, not yet, there are bad people who are looking for me.
If you tell you mother, they will come for her and that goes for all of you, he said looking at the other kids. They nodded, they maybe young but they knew who the bad people were around here and they wanted nothing to do with them.
The man turned and looked at miss Anitta. Do I know you? I doubt it but I know you, your mother saved my life, you were just a baby back then so you wouldn't remember.
Anitta said with a hint of sadness. I'm sorry boy, I promised her to take care of you but unfortunately I cannot leave this building. The man nodded, it fine I could take care of myself anyways.
His voice fell flat when he said that, she felt a hint of coldness as if he was trying to distance himself from Anitta and Thea was certain she could feel that as well.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Ashborn doesn't know why felt a bit angry when she called herself her mothers friend, he had to raise himself from the age of 10 barely surviving.
Who abonden their friends child at the age of 10, even though he could see sadness in her eyes that just made him angrier. Okay okay wait.
The Thea girl said, I get it, everybody knows each other or what not, happy reunion, good for you but are we going to ignore the fact that you just jumped through the second floor window.
Also why the hell were you creeping at kids through a window? I wasn't creeping, I was just looking. Huh, just looking? Okay that makes sense.
See. Fuck no. Thea. Sorry miss Anitta I didn't mean to curse. She sighed, so why were you looking through the window? I wanted to check on the kids, I thought somebody was doing something bad to them.
So you were just worried about the kids? Yes, I was. She nodded and relaxed. I mean no harm I swear, he said. Kids you can eat, miss Anitta said.
She called both him and the Thea girl to another room to talk. You said they were looking for you? Thea asked. Yes. Why? He did not answer.
Okay second question, do you have a bloodline? THEAR, Anitta admonished. Sorry miss Anitta. Sorry about that Ashborn, she can be enthusiastic at time but she doesn't mean anything bad about it.
It fine. So what your plan? I would suggest you leave this town, Tiger has a lot of men and if they are really looking for you, it won't be long before they find you.
He didn't reply to that, what about you? He asked looking at Thea. Did they give you that food or did you steal it? Stole it, she said with pride.
Aren't you afraid they would catch you? They won't, they don't even eat those things they're just assholes who don't like sharing. I was suppose to throw them out, they won't even bother looking at what I did with them.
Sure but I'd be careful, Tigers sense of smell is dangerous. I know, I work for the man, she said with a frown. Well I really hope you don't get caught Thea, what you doing is good.
He said as he turned around to leave, he didn't go back to the room with the kids but opened a window in the one they were currently in.
Will we see you again? Anitta asked with expectation. Maybe, he replied as he jumped down the second floor window and ran all the way back to his room avoiding being seen along the way.
