"Amy." Carly ran after me, her sweet voice calling for me, and I skidded to a stop.

"Yeah sweet pea?" I panted. The need to protect her warred with my need to take care of her.

She pointed to a box on the fridge. "Daddy told me to show you the box." She bounced on her toes. "He said it was important, but I forgot about it till now." She looked worried.

"It's okay, baby girl. You did great." I ran back to the box and pulled it down. Another note was taped to it. I wanted to laugh, cause the man thought of everything. I brought it to the table and Toya stood from the couch when I slammed the box down.

"What's going on?" She walked over to us and patted Carly on her head. "Are you okay?" I opened the box only to find more herbs and four little statues. "What's this stuff for?"

"What are you doing?" I sectioned a tiny portion of my hair off and I braided it. Toya came closer. "Why are you braiding your hair?"

"Come over here, baby girl." I waved my hand as I grabbed the scissors. Then I cut the braid from my head and chucked it into the box. Carly came over to me. “I have to do the same to you, baby."

"Okay." She turned, and I undid her hair. "Why though?"
