520 Compassion- Part 3
"You! I told you not to go anywhere," complained Beth.
"I was right here, waiting for you," said the other girl, who had introduced herself as Jennine. "I was sitting right here when you ca here with your mother, but you didn't see ."
Beth looked perplexed. She was here? But even her mother had looked around, and the girl was not here. "Anyways, I was hoping I would find you. I brought you sothing," and she pulled out pieces of cotton from her pocket.
"What is this?" asked Jennine with a dull voice.
"This is for your wounds. You can clean it with this, and it will hurt less," said Beth, and the girl stared at her, wondering why Beth was here and what she was doing.
"Why?"
Beth tilted her head, "Because you are hurt? The sight of blood makes unhappy and sad," she replied. "I can ask mama and papa to find your mama and papa so that you can get back and you don't have to be hungry."
Jennine took the cotton from Beth's hand, leaning closer as if taking in Beth's scent that slled sweet and tasteful, and she gulped before looking back at little Beth.
"I don't have them. I am alone," answered Jennine, looking away from Beth and Beth placed her hand on Jennine.
"Don't feel sad. I can always bring you food," said Beth, knowing how lonely it felt when her parents left her back in her aunt's house while they went to et her grandpa and grandma in the other village. "Let help! I always help mama," and Beth climbed on top of the carton box, taking one piece of the cotton to dab it on the girl's wounds, "Oh, we need water."
The other girl stared at Beth, her eyes black and bleak that held no life. "Why are you helping ?"
Beth blinked, her green eyes staring into the black eyes, "I...Because I want to help and be friends with you! That's why," she grinned.
Jennine furrowed her eyebrows, "We are friends?"
"Yes, you are my friend now," little Beth nodded her head enthusiastically, "And I would like to make sure that my friend is okay. Most of the people in this village are my friends, and you can et them. If I had a sister, it would have been easier to spend more ti and play at ho, but mama and papa don't talk about it. I think they are happy with just ," she smiled. Beth continued to tend to the girl's wounds, not knowing who the girl really was, as the girl seed like she wanted to eat Beth up as the most favourite al she had ever slt.
While she was ready to leave, Jennine whispered sothing, and Beth turned around with wondernt on her face, "What?" asked Beth.
"You promise to be my friend? Forever?" asked Jennine, and Beth nodded her head.
"Yes," and she smiled.
"Then we can be sisters too?" asked Jennine, and Beth slowly nodded her head.
"I guess. I will see you later. I am going to et my grandpa and grandma today. Take care!" and little Beth left the place, leaving Jennine standing alone in the alley.
Once Beth was gone, Jennine said to herself, "Looks like I will need to look for another person for food so that I don't eat her...my friend."
The scene started to change like seasons moving quickly in front of her eyes, where the two girls spent ti with each other. A few months later, Madeline appeared at the front door, and everything changed. Beth started to spend more ti with Madeline, talking and playing, taking care of her quiet little sister.
"You didn't co to et , so I thought I would co and see you here," said Jennine, a smile on her lips on seeing Beth at the front of the door.
"I want you to et soone special, Jennine. Maddie!" Beth called, and a small girl appeared at the door.
Jennine asked, "Who is this?"
"This is my sister! Isn't she cute," grinned Beth, but Jennine didn't look happy.
Witnessing the everything of the past, It was strange how Beth had forgotten about it, like all those ti she had spent with the girl had evaporated in thin air once her grandparents had put a spell to suppress her mories of what she knew and had seen.
"Beth, who is it?" asked her mother.
"It is Jennine," Beth replied, and when Madeline went to hide behind Beth, she said, "She isn't used to new people yet. I will et you tomorrow."
Jennine mustered a smile before nodding her head. When the children went inside, and the door closed, the smile on her lips fell, and her shoulders slumped as in Beth's world, another person had replaced her position.
Witnessing things that happened in the past, it was strange how Beth had forgotten about it, like all those ti she had spent with the girl had evaporated in thin air once her grandparents had put a spell to suppress her mories of what she knew and had seen. The scene had started to dissolve back, and Beth returned to the present, holding the demoness' hand that had turned cold as she had died.
Beth sat unmovingly. Sowhere when Beth was witnessing the past mories, Madeline had co and taken a seat next to Beth.
Madeline said, "Beth, we need to leave."
She nodded her head, but before she got up, she closed the demoness eyes.
