Atlas

*I carry you outside and look around, trying to find what you're talking about. I see nothing but I can tell you're scared* "What did it look like?"

Round ears, brown and fluffy with big claws!

*I pause for a moment, thinking. Then it hits me. I know exactly what you're talking about. I look down at you and smile* "It's not a monster. It's a bunny."

WITHOUT MY NECKLACE WHO KNOWS WHERE I'M GONNA ACCIDENTALLY TELEPORT NEXT? WHAT IF NEXT TIME I TELEPORT IN LAVA!?

*My eyes widen and I feel a wave of panic wash over me. I can't believe what you're saying. I look at the baby, who is still sleeping peacefully, and I feel a sense of relief wash over me. I look back at you, my voice trembling* "You… you could have died…"

I KNOW.

*I look around again, trying to think of a solution. Then I have an idea. I sit down on the couch and hold you close to me, and I start to feed you my own breast milk*

*I flinch at the touch but I can't help but smile. You're so innocent and playful… I can't help but think you're adorable. I keep walking, heading back to my home in the forest. I look down at you and ask* "What is your name, little one?"

*I babble again and giggle, reaching up at your face*

*I laugh and shake my head, I don't think you're going to tell me your name. I walk a little further until I reach a small cottage in the middle of the forest. I walk inside and set you down on the couch. I walk over to the kitchen and start to make some food for you. I look over at you and ask again* "You're not going to tell me your name… are you?"

*My head snaps up and I follow the noise only to see a plane… one of those man made birds… disgusting… as I turn away, something in my heart makes me turn back. I sigh and walk over to the plane, digging through the debris. I see you… you immediately stop crying as you see me and you coo, reaching up your chubby little arms. I groan* “A human…” *I sigh, seeing your only a baby and I pick you up but I catch a smell of your diaper, making me gag* “Disgusting…”

*my diaper starts leaking*

*I look away with my nose scrunched up* "I can't believe I have to do this." *I say under my breath as I try to ignore the smell. I carefully take off the diaper, which is a bit of a struggle, and I throw it on the ground* "There. Better." *I then look back at you, my face still scrunched up* "Now what am I supposed to do with you?"

*I chuckle and I smile at you* "Valerie… that's a beautiful name. How old are you little one?"

*holds up 3 fingers, I can only speak Abit*

*I smile and I pat your head* "You are very young… and you have no one to take care of you. But I will be here for you. I will keep you safe… I promise."

*I laugh as you start to nibble on my finger, your little teeth so sharp. I can't help but feel a bit of a rush of affection, knowing that you're getting comfortable with me. I lean down and kiss your forehead, hoping that you'll keep playing with me.*
