Chapter 12

Selene.

"Lene, someone's here to see you" Lena called from the till.

"Who?" I ran out with a flour stained apron.

"Your brother and he's looking kinda sick"

"I'm not surprised" Lily chimed from the kitchen door.

Kelvin burst in through the front door.

"Woah big guy, easy on the fragile handle" I smiled at him.

He crushed me into a tight embrace, I circled my small hands and patted his back.

"I thought I lost you" he whispered into my ear.

"Oh come on, your sister is tougher than that" I rubbed his back.

"I know but I was still scared, scared that you were on your own, crying, tired and hungry"

"Don't be, I'm alright"

He stood straight and examined my hands and face.

"Are you hurt? Hungry? Tired?"

"I'm fine Kel, I'm not hungry or hurt and I'm well rested"

"Which kind individual took you in? Did you see the face of the person that took you?"
