Chapter 59.
Rebecca's POV.
It's been so long since I've felt so protected and safe. I've been held captive by many different people in my life. Most of them were humans. I remember my mother when I was a toddler.
The last memory I have of her is seeing her worries face against the silver bars of the cell we had both been in. She was screaming for me I think. It's been so long, I barely remember what she sounded like.
I haven't seen her since that day. I was 4 years old when that happened. It's been several years since then. I'm not sure how old I actually am. People there only referred to me as a product.
I never knew my name. One nice old lady that took care of me and taught me how to speak and write was named Rebecca. I grew close to her. She always called me little one and it made me feel safe.
Ever since arriving here in this unknown place with the humans that kept me captive for so long, it's just felt so right to be here. Almost like there's something or some voice inside of me begging to be let free.
I rarely spoke because whenever I did they would out this mean muzzle on me that really hurt. I would heal fast from the damage it caused but after a while it's almost like I grew used to the burn for the muzzle. They would hit me too if I didn't listen, but I would always listen to them. I would.
The nice old lady was the only one I trusted. She wasn't caretaker and was allowed here with me. We were meant to sneak into the really big house they had here. Because of my powers I can always sense someone around me so I was able to tell when a stranger showed up.
I also had the ability to make them fall asleep. That's why they always take me with them to things like this. Then we heard more people show up and were told to hide.
I was led upstairs by the silver collar they had around my neck connected to a chain they would pull me around with. They led me upstairs and soon it was just the old lady and I.
She removed the collar and muzzle and had me hide in a closet. I did as told and never left until I heard voices outside. I don't know where the others had gone but I was now with people that seemed to care for me in a way no one has before.
They gave me food and healed my injuries. Connor seems so nice he smelt so good, it reminded me of my mothers scent. He also had powers like me and he was so kind.
I felt the inside of his mind though. He's had bad stuff happen to him and I've never tried it before but I want to see if I can use my powers to heal him. I can use my powers for other things too. I just hope I can help him and heal him in the same way he healed me.
Then there's Amber. She's warm and so kind she has a voice that just calms my nerves and relaxes me. They have made me feel safer than I ever have before.
I'm still nervous around them and scared to talk out loud but they don't seem to mind. They pay attention to me, ask me for my permission with certain things and now they're making sure I get clothes that fit and from what they said, toys too?
I don't think I've had a toy before. It sounds amazing. Sasha is really nice as well. She seems nice for a human. So does her mother. I'm still very hesitant around humans. I know I'm not a human or else I wouldn't have these powers or the reaction to silver that I have. I'm not sure what I am though. Maybe they call tell me.
Right now I'm holding on to the hand of the guy who found me in the closet. Rick, I think. He's very nice.
As we walk down the street we make it to what looks like a small town. I've seen human towns before but never a small town like this. I was told these people were werewolves and very dangerous, but they don't seem dangerous to me. I'll make sure I keep my guard up with them though.
I'll run away if I have to. " This is our little town Rebecca. We have many shops that are working their way back up to where they can open up for the public again. We have two clothing stores, one for adults and and older folks and one for kids, babies, toddlers and your teenagers and preteens. This is the store we will be going to. " said Amber.
My eyes glow and I talk to her through my mind. " Are the people there nice?" I ask.
" I assure you the people who work here are very nice and good with children. Plus you have us with you. No one will harm you. I promise. " said Amber.
Her voice assured me and calmed my nerves. I then look in the store as Amber opens the door for me. I let go of Rick's hand and walk up to Connor. He offers his hand and I gently take it before he leads me inside.
The store is filled with so many cool things and nice looking clothes it's almost overwhelming to see so many right things.
" Now, to know where to look, Rebecca would you please tell us your age?" Asked Amber.
I look down in disappointment. I don't even know my own age. From my silence she seems to gather that and changes the subject.
" That's ok. It's ok if you don't know. Let's go to the lady at the counter and get your measurements so we know where to start. " said Amber.
My eyes glow. " Will it hurt?" I ask. I always hate trying new things. Usually they hurt me.
" It won't hurt one bit. " said Amber.
She walks up to the front desk lady and comes back with some long yellow string like thing with numbers on it. She crouched down in front of me.
" This is a tape measure. All she would do is wrap it around your waist and chest and shoulders. These numbers tell her your measurements. As you can see it's harmless and won't hurt you at all. You can hold it if you would like to. " said Amber gently holding out the tape measure to me.
I hesitantly reach out my hand and touch the tape measure. It was soft. I gently took the tape measure from her to look it over. It was like she said. It didn't hurt me at all.
" If you want I can do the measuring and tell them to her so she won't have to come near you at all. " said Amber.
That sounds a lot better than a stranger touching me. I nod in response. Amber smile proudly at me. " Excellent. " she said.
She went over everything she was going to do before she did it. I felt safe while she did it. I was a little nervous when the tape measure was wrapped around me but as she said, it didn't hurt.
Amber called out the measurements to the lady and the lady wrote it down. She then turned to Amber. " She has the measurements of a preteen. Almost smaller then the smallest size for a preteen. She seems very malnourished. " said the lady.
" That will be fixed soon enough. Thank you for the measurements. " said Amber handing her the tape measure back.
We then walked into the back of the store to different clothes that seemed around Rebecca's size. Amber started to look through the clothes and found a nice shirt. She brought it out and showed me.
It looked really soft. I reached my hand out and touched it. I smiled happily at it. It has to be the softest thing I've ever touched. " Do you like it?" asked Amber.
I nod my head in response, my eyes glow as I prepare to speak to Amber in her mind. " I really like it. It's so soft. " I said.
Amber smiled at me and motioned to all the clothes beside us. " This entire section is filled with clothes your size. Pick out whatever you'd like. " Said Amber.
" Are you sure? What about the price of it?" I ask her.
" Don't worry about the price one bit. We have a rule that whenever there is a new kid in the pack they get all their needed essentials for free. You are part of that rule. Everything we get today is free for you. " said Amber.
I'm still very hesitant about all of this but I decided having clothes to wear is better than arguing over money. We pick out a good number of shirts I like as well as some pants, shorts, pajamas and a few dresses as well. We then grabbed some underwear and whatever else is needed before she leads me over to an area that has so many fun looking and fun looking things. The sign above said that this was the toy section.
" Take a look around and see what you like. Personally, I was more of a stuffed animal person than I was a toy person. " said Amber as she pointed to the stuffed animal section.
I turn my head to look and right away something catches my eye. It was a stuffed animal cat. It was close to the same color as Walnut but that's not why it caught my eye. The eyes were what I couldn't tear my eyes away from. They were the same color eyes as my own. I walked over as if in a trance and next thing I know I'm holding the stuffed cat.
" Oh, you like the cat. It is rather cute and look, it has the same eyes as you. " said Connor as he walked up to me.
I nod at him. " Then it looks like you have your first toy. " said Connor.
I smile and we continue to look around for different toys. I didn't like a lot of them, but a different isle caught my attention. It was the book isle. I always loved to read because I was able to block out everything else and focus on the world of imagination. A world completely made up and soon I lose myself in a world of books.
