Oh god.

Was she dead?!?

I reached down and checked her for a pulse, fear welling up in my chest. All I could think of was my mother.

Her heart was beating feebly.

I picked her up like a toddler, scooping her up quickly, surprised at her lack of weight. I tossed her ever so slightly and caught her.

"Woah! You're so tiny!" I laughed.

She didn't wake up.

"Wake up, weird little homeless street rat with no soul and bad hair." I said, hoping my insults would wake her up.

They didn't.

"You're fat."

Nothing.

'Ugly."

Nothing.

"For the love of god wake up or I will slap you so hard you wont see tomorrow!" My voice trembled slightly. I had just met her! She couldn't die now!

She twitched slightly.

"Okay, so now what. We have got to get you to a doctor. Maybe if we go downtown and ask someone about who the town doctor is, we will find them and life will be good and you wont die." I rambled on to no one in particular.

The girl in my arms breathed shallowly.

"What do you think, Puppy? You look like a puppy. You know what puppy sounds like? Poopy. I'm going to call you poopy. Hi Poopy!" I laughed awkwardly. I guess I do that to break the silence. The awkwardness.

"Okay, hold on Poopy lets go..." I grabbed the girl harder and started running.
