pay day

I lay on the soft green grass, as I stare at the stars. This was the only thing I really liked about these focus family camps that my father made us go to. He was some major or high up in the army, a Navy or marine crop. He calls us privets, and we have to go on these stupid camping trips to build our survival skills. Our mother does not sympathise with us, she was a medical genius and was always testing us like in medical products. So that is what childhood was like for me and my brother and sister. We had our own little getaway. My staring out at the stars, I like to imagine that there was a family out for me who let me play. I started to watch some stars soar across the sky when I heard screaming. It was very loud, and all the medical training that had been focused down my throat jumped into action. I was running to where the screaming was coming from. When I broke the tree and I saw two men standing staring at a woman screaming in pain, it was then I noticed. That one man seemed to focus on the woman, so I must distract him to help her. Now how to do that simply. I know I simply walked over to him and pulled on the pocket of his cargo pants. It got his attention. He looked down at me with a hurtful look like he was suffering. Also, hmm, there might be a bit more to this than a male just hurting a female. When she stopped screaming, I don’t know, but I felt like I had to hug this man there, it was like I could see him practically falling apart. I raised my arm up to him, and he picked me up, he pulled me closer to him. I felt him breathing calmly, maybe this was all he needed. “Cosmo, what about her,” the other guy said. We both looked over at him. “Ohh over that now, kill her” the one that held me said “Nooo,” I yelled I started to hit the person, who looked down in shock. Like he couldn’t comprehend why I would be hitting him. I let him drop me and ran over to the woman whom hugged me, “Why are you protecting her? She is a bad woman”. The one that held me “Because she was screaming you are hurting her. I don’t how or why, but I know you are hurting her” I yelled “She hurt me first” he replied. I narrowed my eyes and said, “So she must die?” He sighed “Well, what do you think we should do, little one?” “I think you should let my family help her, and I should leave you alone. You are dangerous,” I said as the lady and I started to back away slowly. I could see that the men intended to follow us, so I pushed the lady to her feet and pulled her in the wrong direction. Then I ran. I didn’t know where I was going. We just knew we had to get away from them. After a while the lady just collapsed, there was no way I could lift her up by myself. So how can I do this? Then I heard some monkeys playing around so I called them down. I started to talk to them, which easily to me after spending about three months living here when my mother and father left me here to build up some character. I say that they just forgot me, anyway, it helps me now. I asked them to help me with the lady, which they agreed to do. So they called for more monkeys to help. Then they lifted the lady up, then I was put back. When we got up into the canopy I wait and tried to quiet the but that was never going to happen I noticed that one had bit the lady, I sighed as that was bound monkey don’t like strangers unless they are giving them bananas. I looked. I saw that man under us, I put my finger on my mouth trying once to get the monkeys to be quiet. Again didn’t the monkeys ever do what the monkeys did, I stood as still as I could and watched them seem to walk around it circles. Then one said “Cosmo, it just stops” The other seemed irritated and yelled “What a trail can’t just stop” They started to search around, I started to wonder why no one looked up when they started. I mean it helps us now, but still. “How the hell does a little girl and full-grown pregnant woman disappear in a forest like this? There should be a sound or a f*****g trail.” The second one complained they started to leave but I didn’t dare to move until at least a full five minutes after they left my line of sight I signed to the monkey that I needed help to take the woman back to my family’s camp. They did while one of the mothers placed me on their back and we started to swing through the forest. To me, it felt like flying I forgot how good this felt and how I missed it when I was back at home. It was over too quickly, I said goodbye to my monkey friends. I returned to camp to find my mother and father dousing the fire. That means I missed breakfast but that is not important right now. My mother looked over to me and said “Isabella, where did you get to?” “I found someone that needs our help mother, she is pregnant, hydrated, badly bruised and was bitten by a monkey” I replied And just like that my mother was gone and the world-famous doctor had replaced her. She tied her hair up and motioned for me to show her where the patient was. When we got to her mother started the examination after a few minutes she concluded that the woman needed to go to the hospital.
