“The rain is getting heavier. Let’s wait here for a little longer.” Louis was rummaging throughout the cabin. “Let me look if there is anything I can use to start a fire.”
With an arm full of firewood, Charlotte started a fire in the fireplace. She even found a pot. Then, she began to peel a pear while waiting for the pot of water to boil.
“Wow! Aunt Charlotte is amazing! You’re like Mommy!”
Alpha noted Charlotte was able to do everything from starting a fire and cooking.
“Do you miss your Mom?” Charlotte gently caressed Alpha’s face.
“Yeah.” Alpha nodded. Tears started streaming down her face as she pouted.
“Don’t be sad. You’ll see your mom soon enough.” Charlotte’s heart ached for Alpha as she pulled the latter into her arms.
“Charlotte, allow me.”
Louis took over peeling the pear with a paring knife. Once done, he handed Charlotte the perfectly peeled pear.
“Dice it, then put it into the pot.” Charlotte said, “Alpha is catching a cold. She needs some pear stew.
“Oh, I see.” Louis did according to her instructions.
At that moment, Fifi flew inside, surprising Louis, causing him to drop the paring knife.
“Don’t be scared. It won’t hurt you with me here.
Charlotte gestured for Fifi to obediently stay beside the fire, allowing the heat from the fire to dry its feathers.
However, its sharp gaze was fixed on the rabbit in Alpha’s arms.
“Fifi, you can’t eat my bunny.” Alpha tightened her arms on the rabbit. She warned, “If you dare eat my bunny, I’ll tell Daddy.”
Fifi seemed to understand her words as it quickly averted its eyes and started to clean its wings with its beak.
“Aren’t you afraid of it, Alpha?” Louis asked softly.
“Nope.” Alpha lifted her head proudly as she answered, “It’s scared of me.”
“You’re amazing. As expected, you’re your Daddy’s daughter.”
Louis let out a sigh. He was still scared of Fifi every time he saw it. Yet, this two-year-old child wasn’t.
