"And we had storytime today. Do you know the story of the Three Little Pigs?" I nodded, chuckling at her enthusiasm. "Of course." "It is a classic." "But do you know why the wolf couldn't blow down the brick house?" She inquired with wide eyes. "Why?" I played along. "Because the pigs worked together! That is what my teacher said.

Suddenly my vision goes hazy and the room starts to spin, I lose control of everything but manage to let three words pass my lips before I blackout, three words that I don't understand but speak anyway, as my world turns dark, they slip from my mouth before the blackness takes over.

He asks walking into the little kitchen, I look down at Amelia then at the bottle in my hand. "I was just making her a bottle," I start but he looks down at my shoes, oh right "I didn't want to get a splinter in my foot, the floors here don't seem well looked after," I try to explain thinking on the spot, he looks at me for a second but nods directing me to the living room, I look at the back door to freedom but I knew I couldn't make it.

Theo, his chubby legs dangling from the porch swing, sat with his chin resting on his hand, eyes fixed on Nanny Mama Hazel.
