We Meet Again

Her little tail wiggled behind her, ears up, eyes wide with excitement, tongue hanging out the side of her jaws. This man, she had met him awhile ago, he helped her get flowers for mother! Pretty flowers, maybe he could help again for her new parent! She beamed as he said how he was glad that she had a name now, asking what hers was and saying how he thought it wasn't Seraphim like his. She shook her head with a small laugh, of course that wasn't her name, it would be weird to have the same names.

But then he asked where her mother was, the girl's tail stopped wiggling, her brows coming together. That was right, he didn't know about her mother, her second mother or her new father, and her new home. How could she keep up that happy attitude when his question had answer that only caused pain and sadness?

With a heavy sigh the young girl plopped back onto her rear, head held low and ears back. ?There was a fire and mama told me to run. I was alone for a few days, scared and hungry when a nice lady found me. I told her what happened and she said my momma wouldn't be able to find me, that her name was Luce and that she would take care of me. She named me Seraphine, a pretty name.? She looked up at him slightly, a tiny smile on her lips. ?She had babies and I wanted to protect them but then everyone vanished. I was alone and fell in a river where this nice man saved me, Demonio. Now he is my daddy, and we have a new home too.?

Her voice had been soft and sad when she spoke, but towards the end it picked up a little but not by much. It was clear she was happy to have a new home but also unhappy for it being the second time she had to find something else. She stared at the ground, her little paw tipping a single flower.
