Beatrix sniffled as she stood, brushing off her skirt with sore hands. She just wanted to find her momma and go home! But a familiar sound caught her attention, and she looked up just in time to see an unfamiliar man approached. Mother had warned her about strangers before but…well this one seemed nice. He crouched down in front of her and she sniffled again, roughly wiping at her eyes and cheeks to dry her tears. It was important to be tough. Mother always reminded her that.
“Yeah, I’m okay…” she said quietly, her voice hitching a bit as she half hiccupped half hyperventilated air as she tried to stop crying. Her hands hurt and her knees hurt from her fall but it wasn’t too bad. “I have a mom but I don’t know where she is.” She said, starting to get upset again as big alligator tears rolled down her cheeks. “I can’t find her anywhere. Or Neron. Or Loren. Or Edy.” She said with a hiccup, her voice getting a little higher pitched near the end. “I just wanna go home.”
