Search For Emily

moving towards the food pack slowly Emily took the pack slowly and opened it she was happy it was favourite snacks smiling she nodded to show appreciation opening it a little more she dived into the food not caring if anyone was watching her standing in the bakery counter the man watched the little girl stucking all the bread into her mouth in a hurry

Emily stopped when she felt someone watching her when she looked up she saw a little girl about the age of five looking at her with a pleading eye

" would you like some" Emily asked

" yes " she replied nodding her head and beaming up with joy

" I have a deal" Emily said " anything" she said

" you give me water I'll give you bread " Emily said turning around she grabbed her bag opening it she pulled out a bottle of water

Exchanging items they were both happy because they got what they both wanted they both departed and went their separate ways putting the leftover snacks in her bag she headed towards the park she just felt like having a little fun and taking a stroll arriving there she sat on one of the empty benches feeling a bit uncomfortable she decided to climb up a nearby tree she usually do that when she wanted to be alone reaching the height she wanted she sat on one of the strong branches looking down she could see everything going on in the park she would miss all of that the fun, the love everything she was now alone and had to fend for herself spending much time on the tree she was about coming down when she caught sight of Mrs Sarah's car driving Into the parking lot Emily hurriedly climbed back up standing on a wide branch she watched Emily come out of the car

" head east and I'll head west " Mrs Sarah told Ella " ensure you ask everybody you come across" Mrs Sarah said again handing Emily's photo to Ella hugging each other they went their separate ways

" I thought I told them not to bother" Emily said to her self seeing she was wanted Emily decided to stay on the tree till they were gone .

Sitting and waiting Emily got tired and fell asleep on the tree after about an hour Ella came back with a disappointed face

" mom I can't find her " she complained

" same here too dear " her mother replied disappointed

" hope she would be fine " Ella replied sad

" hope so too " Mrs Sarah replied Emily was awake and watched as they both exchange report watching as they left the park heading for their car Emily could only fell guilty about her action but there was no going back anymore waiting till they were out sight Emily jumped down from the tree landing well she headed towards the park fountain she felt thirsty and needed some water to quench her thirst arriving there and putting down her bag in order to be able to scoop some water into her mouth she was shocked when she saw someone inside the water she immediately felt irritated and lost her appetite to drink but she was curious to know what the person was doing Inside a fountain for crying out loud

" does it look like a swimming pool or a beach" she asked herself curious she went over on reaching there she immediately figured out what the person was doing under the water " picking people wish coins" she said thoughtfully getting annoyed and displeased she started throwing them back into the fountain hearing noises coming from the surface of the water Mario turned to see what was going on on seeing what Emily was doing he got angry and was about to shout at her when he remembered that he was Inside water swimming back to the surface very fast

" hey what do you think you are doing " he yelled at her angrily

" returning back what you stole dude " Emily replied angry

" And how go you know I stole it " he said plainly

" because it not yours" Emily replied getting confused " they had no use of it that why they kept it there little" he said rudely she hated been called little

" am not little " she said angrily " it's not yours so you don't have any right to keep it " she said trying to push the rest back in

" hey am just doing them a favor " he said stopping her

" how?" she ask confused

" just keeping it for them if they have need of it they can come to me for it " he said plainly

" perhaps if I don't take it someone else will " he said pushing her away picking up the remaining coins left and putting it into his pocket " and learn to mind your business " he said and left her standing there surprised looking back at the fountain and back to the boy she left there it was already afternoon and she was becoming hungry she was a foodie and don't play with her food fetching water from a tap near by and finding a shade to sit down she slowly ate the remain of the morning snacks it wasn't much so she didn't let any fall to the ground still feeling hungry after eating it she drank all the bottle of water in order to be full and satisfied

Resting for a while she headed back into the street feeling a bit hungry she entered into a restaurant not knowing what she wanted she looked around and inhaled the aroma coming from the surrounding

" hey young girl are you lost " a voice invaded her thoughts

" no, yes I mean no " she said fearfully

" then how can we help you " the man asked

" Em...can I have something to eat sir " she said rubbing her hands on her thigh to calm herself down

" like what " the man asked she had only five coins what could she possibly afford spreading the coins on her palm she held it up for the man to see

" I only have five coin what can I afford with them " she asked with an expectant eye

" sit there I'll get back to you " he said pointing to an empty sit
