Chapter Six- A New Friend

“Please….please someone help!” Nasya yelled out as she ran in the police station.

“Slow down ma’am what’s wrong?” A police officer said trying to calm her

“M…my mom….m….my dad….” she started to sob uncontrollably “They’re dead! They were killed by….by some animal!” she fell down on her knees. Her body started to shake uncontrollably

“Ok, calm down. What’s your name and Where do you live?” The Policeman asked.

“My name is Nasya and I live on 32 Rockwell drive” She muttered out still sobbing.

“Ok. We will send out a unit. For now you just stay here and I will send over someone ok?” His voice was soft and comforting.

Nasya simply nodded and tried to give him a smile.

“Ok. I will be right back I promise” With that, the officer walked away.

Nasya sat there trying to go through what happened in her head. She was in disbelief but unfortunately it happened.

 

“Nasya?”

 

A soft female voice spoke from behind her. Nasya slowly turned around to see a young woman that appeared in her mid 20’s. She had short curly blonde hair, hazel eyes, and appeared to be 5’4 in height. She wasn’t as curvy as Nasya, but she had a figure even though it was very subtle due to her professional outfit, consisting of a knee length dark brown skirt and a cream button up top.

 

“Y..yes?” She asked looking behind her. Her once dark brown eyes now an emerald green.

“Hi, I am Dr Miranda. My you have beautiful eyes” She smiled, speaking almost as gently as her mother did.

“T..thank you” She said as her green eyes followed Miranda’s form until it stopped right in front of her.

 

Miranda knelt down and placed her hand on Nasya’s shoulder.

“It will be ok. I am here to help you” Miranda spoke as she began to help Nasya up. Without knowing, Nasya began to stand up with Miranda’s help. She felt comfortable around her and didn’t mind her helping.

 

“T..thank you” Nasya said softly. Miranda simply smiled as she led her to her office.

“Now sit down and tell me everything that happened” Miranda spoke as she made her way over to her desk and sat down.

Nasya did indeed sit down and placed her hands on her lap.

 

“M..my family was brutally killed. I didn’t exactly see anything but I heard it” She explained as much as she could

 

Miranda nodded and placed her pen cap in her mouth slightly “How old are you Nasya?” she asked

“I just turned 13 yesterday ma’am” Nasya replied back softly

“Oh my, your just a child” Miranda replied, looking at Nasya with sad eyes.

“Hmm, well it will take the officers awhile to figure out what happened….” She thought for a moment, then a small smile came across her lips “Hey, why don’t you stay with me?” she asked. Nasya blinked in disbelief.

 

“R..really?” She asked. “That’s very kind of you” she said

 

Miranda smiled and nodded “Of course. I just have to talk it over with the chief and then we can go” With that she got up and placed her hand on Nasya’s shoulder “Stay here. I will be right back” she whispered to her before leaving.

 

Nasya nodded and sat in the chair, waiting for Miranda to come back. She brought a hand up to her tear stained cheeks, wiping the rest of her tears away. It wasn't long until Miranda came back, holding what appeared to be a file

 

"Alright, Nasya you can come with me" She smiled and helped the young girl up. For the first time all night, Nasya smiled and hugged Miranda tightly

 

"Thank you" She spoke softly.

 

Miranada chuckled lightly and hugged her back "Your welcome sweetheart. Now lets go" She smiled and for her tiny frame, she carried Nasya out the police station and out to her brown volkswagen.
