Little Maya was walking slowly on her way back from school. She hold the apple they got for lunch tightly against her chest. She will need it in case her Uncle acts weird and forget to make dinner for her and her brother again. She misses her mama and papa badly. It has been so long since she last see them. She wants to go home but her big brother told her they are not coming back but she doesn't believe that, her mama and papa love them, she believe that they will come back someday. She hates her uncle's home, it is so small and they are constantly hungry, they don't have new cloths, big yellow room, new toys etc anymore. She will tell her mom all about it when she comes back.
She was so busy thinking about it that she bumbs into a leg, she falls back but big arms steady her, 'Whoa,careful shorty' A man says then frown, 'Are you alone?' he looks around,
Maya doesn't wait for him to finish talking, while he was looking around she ran off the the direction where her apple rolled off to, she runs after it, it was a dark alley but she didn't think twice. As she sit down to pick it up, she heard sounds coming from the side, she frowned at what she saw.
A little boy! He look so untidy, his cloths and shoes were so shabby. She wonder what he was doing especially since he was hugging his legs against his chest, burying his forehead on his knees, rocking back and forth. She didn't understand why he was doing.
"What are you doing?"
As soon as he heard her voice, his head jerked up, eyes wide and scared, he though for a moment they found him, only to change to rage and he glare at the little girl with wide pretty eyes staring at him with full curiosity, his hands started shaking, he want to hurt, them, himself, her so he just start scratching his arms instead. The pain numbs him mentally, distract him from the voices.
The girl's eyes started to change to panic, 'What are you doing?' she asks him,
He look around, she was talking too loudly, they will hear her, he lift his finger to his mouth to shush her. He didn't dare speak up. But the girl didn't understand. She should.
It makes him more anxious so he scratch harder, waiting for them to take him away. He felt the stinging pain, the scrapes from old wounds coming off replaced by fresh red marks.
Then the girl shouts "Stop it!" making him wince,
She knelt right in front of him and held out her apple, she hesitated a bit before she asked, "Look, I will give you this if you stop doing that"
His eyes landed on the hand that reach out, food! He salivated instantly. He doesn't remember when was the last time he ate so he didn't think twice before snatching it from her hand and eating as if it his last meal.
After he was finished, the girl gave him a pretty smile making him froze for a moment. He couldn't stop staring at her. She was talking. Questioning him. He didn't bother listening because he wasn't going to answer anyway but he does realize one thing. The voices stop!
He didn't understand. He look around once more to see if they are hiding somewhere but when his eyes landed on her again, he knew, it was her. She chased them away. He couldn't stop staring at her. Is she an angel? She must be. She is kind and is nice to him. She doesn't keep on shouting at him and she's giving him food. She is really pretty and smell really nice too. Most of all, she gave him the thing he crave most-silence, by chasing them away.
She didn't understand why the boy didn't speak at all even after she keeps on talking to him, asking him questions. Then all of a sudden, a small dent form on his cheeks, she frowned at the sight of it then reach up poking it.
He sucked in a breath at the feel of her touch. His whole body was tense expecting the burning sensation to start. No. No.
He almost pushed her away in defence but... nothing happened. The little angel frowned and he didn't like that at all.
She poked his cheeks again and he realised for the first time he is not repelled by someone's touch.
She pouts, "I like your smile"
Smile?
He wants to give her want she wants. He wants to make his little angel happy.
His... That's right. The little angel belongs to him.
Her eyes lit up in excitement as his smile reappears, the dents on his cheeks deeper this time, she can't help but giggle and clap her hands.
He really want to tell her that he really like her smile too but when he open his mouth to do that, his voice won't come out. It hasn't for a long time. Before he was happy he can't but now it frustrates him. He can't talk to her.
Then all of a sudden, her smile drops and his followed right away. Is it because he cannot talk? He wants to tell her to smile again.
He reached up with a frown and touch her cheek like she did his.
Her smile was back at that but it doesn't last because it quickly falls again.
He tilt his head trying to figure out what's wrong.
"I have to go" she said suddenly, that's when he felt something like a jolt in his chest.
Then, he realised the voices started come back, starting with low whisper, getting louder with time. Making him panic.
He shook his head furiously, not wanting her to go. She doesn't understand that he can't protect her if she goes out of there.
The girl rubbed her chest where it hurts. She doesn't understand why he shook his head no but she have to go. She wants to stay in her room before wakes up. She wants to finish her homework then sleep as soon as possible because she doesn't want to stay awake while her uncle climbs on her bed. He acts weird when he does so. He said that good girls sleep with their daddies even though he is not her daddy. It feels weird and she doesn't like it.
She got up, clenching her fist, wanting to stay but she shook her head, "I will come back tomorrow. Don't go anywhere okay!"
The boy shook his head, refusing to let her go but he can't move, he can already hear them what if they see him? Tears welled up in frustration.
"I will ask my uncle if we can keep you!" she said and waved a hand at him before she disappeared into the light.
His little angel left him. He cowers back into the small space, shaking in fear, hoping he can disappear too. Will he ever get to be free?
Will his little angel really come back? But what if they caught her too because of him?
No. She belongs to him now and it is his job to protect her.
His head was filled with a different kind of rage at the thought of them finding her.
He won't let that happen. He will wipe them all out.
