Jessica was about to leave when she saw something out of the corner of her eye and looked to see what it was and spotted the young 8 year old Rita who was to scared to move.
Rita was to scared to move as she saw Jessica kneel down on one leg and reach for her. Rita felt the warm fleshy prison lift her of the ground and when the hand opened the was starring up at Jessicas large face smiling down at her.She curled up into a ball hiding her face in her legs and tarted crying silently fearing the end when all she heard was a soft voice full of concern asking,''Are you alright,''Rita looked up for a second and from Jessicas reaction she could tell instantly Jessica knew she was afraid of her. Jessica said,''Don't be afraid i won't hurt you little one, my names Jessica whats yours'',Rita looked up at Jessica and stuttered,''M..my n..n..names R..R..Rita''. Jessica then asked,''What are you doing here'',Jessica knew instantley the girl called Rita was afraid of what would happen if she answered because she had hid her head again and was crying a bit more.Jessica decided to try calm the girl down first before asking again.''Are you hungry'''the child just gave a small nod.Jessica stood up and began to walk to the kitchen, when she got there she went over to the counter and set the girl down on it and started to make a sandwich. When she was done she gave the girl a small part of her sandwich. The servants that made there way around the kitchen saw the girl but made no attempt to care why she was there.
After 10 minutes the girl had calmed down and Jessica asked again,''What were you doing here'',she knew the girl still didn't want to answer because the girl instantley went pale but reluctantly said,''I..i w..was h..h..here to g..get some m..money'',the girl then curled up in a ball again like before. Jessica then asked,''Why would a child like you try to steal from me don't you have a family to care for you'',the girl started to tear up again. Jessica didn't want the child to be sad because of her,''Look its okay you don't need to be sad you can stay the night here if you would like,'' the girl looked up and just managed to say,''T..t..thank y..you'',when it was dark Jessica picked Rita up and went to her room. She lay down and placed Rita on her stomach and covered her with her hand.
