Chapter 148: 911 it's Flame
Pickle POV
Lucky kisses River's head "I'm going to go shower then I have to give assignments out before we go. Who are we appointing as house parent while we're gone?" He asks me.
"Let's do Heather and Dean. Carter can do bus runs and my classes"
"Okay I have River starting this week as well so I think I'm going to have Crash do my classes with River and a few others but I think for the majority I'm going to pull Jose" he says after some thought.
"Enchantress remember that move I was showing you. Tomorrow after basics with Crash when he asks what move that's the one I want you working on for the next two days then we'll switch" he says to her. He grabs her and kisses her lips a growl escapes me.
"Goodbye enchantress" she jumps up and hugs him tightly she kisses his cheek then his lips.
"Goodbye Trouble" she laughs.
"Trouble huh" he says as he kisses her again.
"Okay enough Lucky shower and do assignment! Flame sweetheart, I undoubtedly assume you got a ticket so go to your guys's place get what you need and meet us back here in an hour. What did you tell your dad?"
She jumps up after giving me a look about the whole River/ Lucky thing.
"I'm on it. Dad won't notice and I'm assigned Gio now so he'll have to go and he'll make him self scarce. What about Annie? I don't like the idea of leaving her alone with Abby for to long"
"Isn't Abby her mom?" River asks as she's get her clothes ready.
How to explain this craziness.
"Abby is a lot. I mean she 17. She had Annie at 15. She gets overwhelmed so we all kinda take turns having her. Abby would rather do her own thing. She's sighing over her rights and we thought if they were both here with some support and help she would change her mind but it's gotten worse lately especially since she's had no luck in getting Lucky or Carter to sleep with her, I have a feeling she's going to run soon. Heather or Lucky usually have her but we need Heather to run this place"
"I'll just take her home with me if that's allowed? If not I can stay here, Victoria already said she would come stay with Chailor this week if needed" River says quickly.
Me and Flame look at each other. "We'd have to run it by Lucky first and you should ask Chailor and Lincoln cause don't let her fool you she's a toddler and they are handfuls. Mia can babysit, if you need her to after 4 I'll leave her the lift/uber card."
"Why do you have to ask Lucky?" River asks.
We look at each other again. I kiss her head as I walk to my dresser and add a few more things to my travel bag.
"Because Kitten, Lucky is legally Annie's Guardian"
"What does that mean?" She asks.
"He is her parent now till he decides if he wants to keep her or if he's going to find her a family" Flame is the one who tells her.
"Abby just wants to be a kid. Her crazy parents wanted to sale the baby after they found it was a girl to this crazy cult so she can be raised to service the men in their church. They teach them to be obedient mindless sex slaves to perverted old men. They are given to their husbands between 6 and 8." She breathes in heavy. I'm trying to hold back my tears.
"After the husband's teach them how to properly service a man at around age 9 they begin being allowed to attend the sacred meetings once a month were one lucky girl gets picked to be the prayer angel and passed around to anywhere from 10 to 15 men of the church all in one night to teach her different things to do to keep her husband satisfied. They can't talk about what happens that night to anyone. You can get picked multiple times during that year cause theres not a shortage of perverts in this world."
"Flame Why don't you go get started and I can finish" I say quickly when I realize with everything going on she's going to spiral.
She doesn't do good without Brain.
She just keeps going.
Shit! I grab my phone and text 911 to Lucky this can get bad.
"Then starting at the age of 10 or when you start your first period you get to start trying to start a family with your 40 year old husband that is if he don't trade you to other husband. Sometimes you get blessed as they call it and you can just be a prayer savor which means almost everyday there's some party or important church member that's in town that needs to teach you the ways of punishment so when your husband does it to you, you won't scream out you'll just sit there and be silent as they torture and rape you." Flame is crying and shaking now. I'm punching him again for doing this to her.
"Sweetheart" I calmly say moving River behind me.
"I was blessed, I got to be a prayer savior. My father was the leader, the proud shepard who got to share his daughters with other higher ups.
My older sister got her 45 year old husband at the age of 7 so that meant that 5 year old me got to keep daddy satifated till I hit the age of 7 he wanted to keep me a extra year to himself. Just so happened that when I turned 7 my baby sister turned 5 and he took his turn on her the night of her birthday cause under 5 would be sinfull.
She didn't surive her first party. She died at 6 and we had to bury her in the rain under the tree in the yard like we did the dog the summer before. My older sister still lives in the church last I heard she was pregnant with her 8th child at the ripe old age of 22" she falls to the floor sobbing.
River runs to her before I can stop her.
River runs to her before I can stop her. She pushes her arms away from her body and puts them around her. I jump ready to rip River away from her. She usually starts swinging here shortly. She didn't even get to the part where she really goes off screaming about how that beautiful little girl was supposed to be her 25 year old brother's 2nd wife when she turns 5.
I just stand in awe as River holds her while they both cry together. She's letting River touch her even hold her during a episode, Brain can't even get this close.
That beautiful Kitten of mine is something else.
