CHAPTER FIVE

REVNA

R evna shook her head. “It’s my body.”

“But it’s your health. Sometimes Little girls aren’t in the right mind to make grown up decisions when it comes to their health and safety. This is one of them.”

She stared at him in shock. “You can’t do that!”

“Daddy can and he will.”

Before she knew what was happening, Daddy was carefully helping her sit up and held her close to him. Her face was close to his neck.

“No, you can’t be serious.”

“I’m very serious. I don’t want you hurting any more. It’s going to happen so you can heal and then you can go and play with other people.”

She continued to struggle in his arms. Her leg was screaming at her in pain, but she tried to push that to the back of her mind.

“Daddy is going to cut a little of my neck and you’ll start sucking on it.”

She shook her head, trying to pull away as Daddy cut his neck a little with his fingernail. Doesn’t that hurt? Why wasn’t he flinching in pain?

Revna closed her lips tightly as Daddy guided her head to his neck.

“Open your mouth,” Daddy commanded.

But Revna didn’t do it. She felt the warm liquid of his blood touch her lips. Pushing her head to the right, she tried to get away from the cut but Daddy’s hand was on the back of her head, guiding it back to the cut.

“You’re okay. Everything is going to be okay. You just need to drink some so you can heal up nicely.”

She kept her mouth shut as the blood speared against her lips and chin. It was still warm and she could taste the phantom metallic taste in the back of her mouth.

Daddy’s hand left her head and she pulled back. Her gaze darted to where her head was. Red blood was dripping down his neck.

“You’re okay. We’re going to try this again. This time you’ll drink some. Understood?”

Revna didn’t look at his eyes but kept her eyes on where the cut used to be.

“It didn’t hurt at all, Little One. No pain at all. I need you to drink some so you can heal and you won’t rely on pain meds for the next half year or more.”

Closing her eyes, she took several deep breaths through her nose but the only thing she smelt was the metallic smell from the blood.

“Look at Daddy in the eyes.”

She didn’t though. As much as she wanted to heal, she didn’t want to drink blood.

“Revna. Now.”

Her eyes snapped open and Daddy gave a small smile.

“Everything is going to be okay. You’re okay. It might be a little unpleasant in the beginning but then you’ll be able to do anything you want. You won’t be confined to a wheelchair or your crib.”

“I don’t think I can do this.”

“I know you can. You are my brave Little girl. It’s only going to take a couple of seconds. Can you be brave for Daddy?”

She looked into his eyes and took several deep breaths. Was she really going to do this? Before she could do anything, Daddy cut his throat again and with his other hand held the back of her head, pushing it forward.

“Open your mouth and be a good girl. My brave good girl.”

She took a deep breath, her mouth slightly parted, and Daddy took advantage of that. Her lips touched the cut and blood seeped into her mouth. The warm liquid coated her tongue and she tried so hard not to gag.

“Such a good girl. Almost done.”

Everything in her wanted to push the blood out of her mouth but with how she was positioned, it was nearly impossible. The blood slid down her throat and tears formed in her eyes, running down her face as she blinked.

She felt the cut starting to heal and less blood getting in her mouth. Daddy pulled her head back and gave her a smile.

“Such a good girl.”

She could feel the stickiness of the blood on her skin, drying up with every second.

“My Little vampire. Such a good girl for drinking some of my blood. Now in a couple of hours you’ll be all healed and it’ll be like you never broke your leg or had a gash either.”

Tears were still streaming down her face. She could taste the metallic from the blood in her mouth.

“Drink?” she whimpered.

“Of course, baby girl. After the bottle we can go to a little store and buy you a stuffed animal for how brave you were.”

“Stuffed animal?”

“Yes, baby. A stuffed animal. You can pick it out when we get to the store. But right now let’s get you something to drink so you can stay hydrated.”

That’s not why she wanted the drink. She wanted it to get the taste out of her mouth. Daddy probably knew this but didn’t want to acknowledge it.

She sat on the bed as Daddy walked over to the little fridge and pulled out a baby bottle.

“Another?” she asked. “Can I have a normal cup?”

“Littles get to drink out of a bottle when they first get into the town. Daddy needs to monitor how much you drink and this is the best way to do it.”

Revna pouted but nodded her head anyway. There was no point in arguing with him about this. He had already made up his mind about healing her.

“Are you stubborn?” she asked.

“Very.”

Daddy sat the bottle down and carefully picked her up.

“Tell me if anything hurts.”

She waited for the pain to come with her leg as she moved her to sit on his lap but nothing came. She relaxed into his body as he got the bottle and wiggled it in front of her.

“I want all of this gone. Then we’ll go to the shop and get you a stuffed animal and a couple other things you’ll need.”

Revna started to suckle and relaxed even further into his body. It was a little weird but she actually liked it. She found herself relaxing and enjoying being close to him.

“Such a good girl. Just a little bit more and then we can go to the store.”

Excitement grew inside of her. She couldn’t wait to go to the store and grab a stuffed animal. Her one stuffed animal she left at home was sitting on her bed. Would she be able to find the exact same one or was her original one lost forever?

Tears filled her eyes as she thought about her stuffed animal, Moriah.

“What’s wrong, little one?” Daddy asked as he pulled the nipple out of her mouth.

She sucked in a breath. “My stuffie.”

Tears were running down the sides of her face.

“I’m pretty sure we’ll find something for you,” Daddy replied, smiling.

But none of them were going to be her stuffie, Moriah. She loved the koala bear to death. Revna had it for years and years. How was she going to live without her?

“You’re okay,” Daddy whispered. “Everything is going to be okay. Do you want to go look now?”

She nodded her head but how was she going to pick one? It was going to be nearly impossible. Just the thought of picking another stuffie out felt like she was betraying Moriah.

Maybe she should say something to him. Maybe there was some way to leave the town so she could grab her stuffed animal.

“Daddy is going to stand up now.”

A slight twinge of pain went down her leg and he stood up. He was carefully holding her against his chest, her one leg wrapped around his body and the other one hanging.

“I know it’s awkward. Do you want me to carry you bridal style?”

She shook her head. “Can I walk?”

“No, little one. All Littles are held when they are hurt.”

“No wheelchair?”

“Not this time. Daddy wants you close. Maybe whenever you are almost healed you can sit in the wheelchair.”

She pouted and snuggled into his chest.

“So I am going to walk again?”

“Sometimes.”

She pulled back slightly. “Sometimes? I thought you said Littles get carried when they are hurt.”

“I did but Daddy likes to hold you close. When Daddy carries you, you are always close to him.”

“But.”

“You’ll be able to walk sometimes. I never said you wouldn’t be able to ever walk again. Daddy just likes to carry you. And before you know it, you’ll crave to be held whenever we go places.”

“I doubt that,” she muttered.

Daddy didn’t say anything as he continued to walk. How long was it going to take to get there?

“Daddy? Are we there yet?”

“Yes, Little one. We are.”

She looked around and realized they were in a big store. Stuffed animals were lined across the wall and down some aisles. There were other Littles things. Binkies, onesies, diapers, baby bottles, sippy cups, plates, and other clothes.

“Wow,” she whispered.

“Let’s go look at the stuffed animals.”

Her whole mood dampened but she nodded. Daddy was being nice and allowing her to get a stuffed animal. Revna just wished it was Moriah and not a new one.

“I know you miss your other stuffed animal but how about we pick out a new one. Maybe she can have a buddy so she isn’t so alone.”

Tears pooled in her eyes and she blinked several times to get rid of them. How was she going to get Moriah if she wasn’t in the town?

Daddy walked around and pointed at several different stuffed animals. None of them stood out to her. She just wanted to have Moriah with her.

“Come on, Little one. I know it’s hard but think about Moriah and what she would want as a buddy. We can’t have her being lonely.”

Revna continued to look around, looking at all the different types of stuffed animals. Some of them were small, big, colorful, one color, fluffy, and not fluffy and so much more. How was she ever going to pick one?

But as they rounded the corner, a fluffy unicorn caught her eye.

“Daddy!” she yelled and pointed.

Daddy walked over and she quickly grabbed the multicolored unicorn. It was so soft and she rubbed her face against it.

“Is that the one you want?”

“Yes, please.”

Revna was still missing Moriah, but this was just going to have to do. Maybe one day she’ll find one like her or be able to go back and get Moriah.

“Let’s go grab a couple other things real quick and then we can buy everything.”

Daddy carried her around as he started to grab a pack of binkies, onesies, and some diapers.

“Uhh, Daddy?” she softly asked.

“Yes, Little one?”

“I don’t need diapers.”

“Littles wear them. I have a feeling you’ll love them.”

“I don’t think I will.”

“Try a couple of times and if you really hate them, you won’t have to wear them again.”

“Promise?”

“Of course, Little one. But you have to actually really try.”

“Okay.”

He walked towards the front of the store and placed everything down on the counter but Revna held onto her unicorn. She wasn’t ready to let him go yet.

“Aren’t you just the cutest Little girl,” the older woman said. “So precious and look what you have. A unicorn. Have you named him yet?”

“Leo.”

“Such a fabulous name.”

“Have you gotten a package yet for me, Lia?”

The older woman’s eyes lit up and she nodded. “Give me one second.”

She walked off and Revna looked at Daddy. What package? Why was the lady so excited?

“Daddy?”

“You’ll see in a second. Be patient.”

Patient wasn’t her middle name. She didn’t like to be patient.

“Right here,” the lady came back.

Revna gasped as she set Moriah down on the counter. Tears spilled down her face as she looked at her stuffed animal.

“The fairies saw that you were missing your companion so they grabbed it for us.”

“Magic,” Revna whispered.

“That’s right, Little one. Magic. Just like the town. Now Moriah and Leo will have each other when you go out and play.”

“I’m never going to leave them. They’ll always be with me.”

“Some places you go, you may not be able to take them.”

Revna pouted and held both of them close to her.

“But I don’t wanna leave them all alone. They’ll miss me.”

“They probably will miss you, but they’ll have each other. It will just make your time spent together that much more special.”

“Okay,” she sighed.

Daddy paid for the things and grabbed the bag.

“I hope to see you again,” Lia said as they walked out.

“Can you say bye to Lia?”

“Bye Miss Lia!” Revna waved.

Daddy held on tightly as he walked out of the store. The sun shone on her skin, warming her up.

“Are you cold?” Daddy asked.

“Just a little. I didn’t think I was, not until we walked outside and the sun was on my skin.”

Daddy held her closer and she just soaked in the sun. It felt amazing.

“Where are we going?”

“We’re going home.”

Revna looked around as he continued to walk with her in his arms. People were walking around. Some of them were wearing diapers with no shirts, some with cute clothes and their hair done.

“You can wave to them if you want. They are all nice,” Daddy encouraged her. “You’ll be hanging out with some of them soon, making some friends.”

“I don’t know,” she whispered as she saw a Mommy holding a Little boy's hand. He was sucking on a pacifier.

“You’ll love them. I know it’ll be scary in the beginning but you can bring your stuffed animals with you when you meet them. A lot of them will have theirs with them.”

Revna was hesitant on that. Was she really going to meet them? What if she didn’t stay here? She didn’t want to make friends and then leave.

“But you won’t have to worry about that for a little bit,” Daddy said. “Right now you can just focus on being my Little girl. That’s all. Then when you’re ready, you can meet them.”

She laid her head down on his shoulder and took several deep breaths in. She rubbed her face against his shoulder and yawned.

“Your body is healing so you’re going to be tired. But don’t worry, Daddy is going to take care of you.”

She heard rustling before Daddy plopped a pacifier in her mouth.

“Suck on that until we get home in a minute. I’ll feed and rock you when we get there and put you down for a nap.”

She whined, not wanting to take a nap. She hadn’t taken one in years and didn’t need them.

“No whining. You need all the rest you can get while you are trying to heal.”

Revna tried pulling out the pacifier out of her mouth, but he stopped her.

“No pulling it out. You try to pull it out again or whine about not wanting to take a nap and you’ll have a hot bottom while you sleep.”

She settled down as he walked into the house. She wanted to continue to whine and pull the pacifier out but she didn’t want to get the spanking. Daddy meant what he said.

Daddy grabbed a bottle from the fridge and walked over to the large rocking chair and sat down.

“Such a good girl,” he praised her. “Daddy’s good girl.”

Pulling the pacifier out of her mouth, before she could say anything he put the nipple in.

“Drink and just relax. Daddy is going to take care of you.”

Revna did just that and the longer she suckled and drank, the more her eyes felt heavy. Darkness filled her vision as she closed her eyes, falling asleep.
