Chapter 12

A few lonely days after Jasper got caught by mom while taking me outside, I was carried by my nurse down a hallway and into an open room which I recognized as the dining room both from the wonderful smell of food as well as my previous visit. I have to admit I was confused. Up until now, the entire last year of my life, I had been having all my meals (i.e. being fed) with my nurse or one of the maids that worked for my family.

The nurse carried me toward the table which I was able to detect by sound. Yes, I was making progress! I had heard about a boy who was able to do all sorts of things thanks to his amazing echo location skills, but when I had tried it in my past life, I had no success. Maybe because now I am starting while I'm still developing in every way?

I was placed in a seat, I assume made for toddlers, because it fit me just fine. I could hear the sound and feel the very slight vibrations on the tray under my hands. I felt around like I was playing with my food to get an idea of where it was, then popped some in my mouth using my small fists once I thought I had located all the food within reach. When I ran out of the food that I had located, I was surprised by the sudden appearance of a cup at my mouth.

The suddenness caused me to turn my head away so I didn't choke, which caused clothes to be drenched in water. I was instantly whisked away and taken back to the nursery. As soon as I reached the nursery we were greeted by nurse and I realized that the person holding me was the same person who had tried to forced feed me water and ended up pouring it all over me. It was not like I wasn't thirsty. I just wasn't prepared to be given a cup of water. Nurse is always so gentle and places it on my mouth, letting me realize that it's there before slowly tipping it up.

I instantly couldn't wait to get out the these hands. I leaned over and reached toward the sound of nurse as well as called for her "Nurse!"

Nurse pulled me into her arms and carried me inside the nursery, closing the door behind us. Then she sad down on her rocking chair still holding me. I was astonished that she would still be holding me close once she realized that I was getting her clothes wet and dirty with food, but she didn't let go or display any signs of disgust.

"Are you alright, baby?" she asked me. "What happened? Tell your nurse Daysha everything!"

I didn't know how to respond to that. What should I say?

"I kolt and ungry" [I am cold and hungry] I finally said with my head buried against her chest. I felt safe and knew that my nurse would have my best interest at heart and that she loved me like her own. Next to Jasper, Nurse was the person I depended on and trusted the most.

"You must be" Daysha said kindly. She put me down on the floor and left for a moment before coming back with a dry towel. She helped me remove my wet clothes before drying me off and helping me into clean clothes.

"Sank ewe" (thank you) I said after my clothes were changed.

My stomach started rumbling and I remembered that I had still been hungry when I was pulled away from the dining table.

"Are you still hungry baby?" Nurse asked as she pulled me up into her arms and sat back into the rocking chair.

I nodded and she immediately called one of the maids to bring some dinner for the two of us. I smiled in her arms and we snuggled until the food arrived.

After that experience I was hoping that I would get to stay with nurse for my meals, but unfortunately that was not the case. The bullying, and yes it was bullying, continued. I would be removed from the dining table early every meal covered in my food and drenched in water; and my parents seemed to think that I was just clumsy.

What puzzled me was that my nurse knew that I was generally careful about how I ate and drank. I didn't like to be messy and the only thing covered in food at the end of the meal was usually just my face and hands.

Thanks to nurse though I was still able to get enough to eat since she had soon after the initial incident started ordering food for me when I came back. I made me wonder who it was that was bullying me and what power the person had over nurse.
