Carmen led the timid person out into the light. She didn’t seem to be able to walk right. She looked her over. Her white shirt was stained with blood and a tranquilizer dart stuck out of her back. Carmen moved slowly wrapping her hand around the dart.

Carmen: I’m just going to take it out okay?

The girl didn’t move. Carmen took it out in one swift pull. Carmen threw the dart away.

Carmen: Common, let’s go. I’m taking you home.

It was much easier said than done. Carmen had to lure the girl with the treats she had from the café.

Carmen: Come here, who’s a good girl. Common.

She waved a éclair in front of the girl who watched the snack and took a step towards Carmen. She was on all fours sort of like a gorilla cross dog? She might be going crazy making up such a wild animal. Carmen wasn’t trying to treat her like one, but that girl seemed so wild and mysterious. It puzzled Carmen. Maybe she had found a wolf child or something. She finally arrived with the mysterious girl at her modest house. She opened the door and left it open for the girl. She didn’t move.

Carmen: Come here, it’s okay. I’ll have more éclairs for you.

Carmen saw the figure twitch. The dark room scared her. She didn’t want to go in, but the nice woman was reaching out to her again. She didn’t want to disappoint her. She whimpered. Carmen looked around sensing that it might be too dark, and flipped on the switch making it much easier for the girl to come in. Carmen shut the door a bit too fast and loud surprising her guest who jumped and turned around defensively.

Carmen: Sorry! Really sorry, didn’t mean to do that.

She saw the toned muscles relax.

Carmen: Common, up on the couch.

Carmen strode gracefully over to the couch and pointed on the cushion. The girl was next to her in one leap. She seemed to trust her more. Carmen went to get the first aid kit and she made sure to bring back a couple of éclairs. She smiled looking at the girl curled up sleeping peacefully. Sadly, she had to get her to wake up.
