Deal Between God And Devil

Chapter 55

5 year old.

Harriet was 5 years and 6 months old when the pain started to worsen. The normal pain that usually happens around the mid of every month in her lower abdomen and head, worsened now and it even started a few days earlier than her date. 

It was the middle of the night when it first happened, Harriet was sleeping in her room with Jojo by her side. She was continuously groaning and turning in pain, the bead of sweat forming on her forehead and her body aching with the pain.

She open her eyes with a gasp as the pain started getting worsen, she usually sleep through the pain, and by now she was used to it. She doesn't mind the pain anymore and keeps going with life ignoring the pain as much as she can.

Being a curious and intelligent child, she many times asked Spencer why this pain happened or why can't she go out like normal kids and why do they live here in the middle of a forest and not in some pack or human village.

But to her disappointment all Spencer replied was "I'll answer everything, when you'll get older. Yeah? your just a baby right now!" And with that, they kept on progressing with their life.

Harriet moved her aching limp as a scream left her mouth. It was too much she couldn't take it. She hold her stomach and tried to put some pressure. So, the pain could ease a bit but it didn't help, instead, it got more worsen and now her stomach was throbbing.

Tears rolled down her cheeks when Spencer ran into her room. "Harry? Ohh my god! Are you okay? What's happening?" Spencer asked, as she hold her hand and rub her ankles, pulling her curly hair out of her eyes and passing them back while whipping her forehead as she touched her forehead, her eyes widen.

"Ohh god, baby you are burning," Spencer said as she run out of the room with little Jojo looking at them confused. He was sitting next to Harriet, his eyes a bit sad. His little hands held a peanut and offered it to little Harriet who was in too much pain to notice.

A scream left her lips again when Spencer walked in with a bowl of cooled water and a towel and a cup of tea with unshaded tears in her own eyes. She helped Harriet sit, little groans and cries leaving her mouth. Tears kept falling as she looked, couldn't take the pain.

"Please baby." Spencer handed her a cup of tea that usually help her body to relax, after finishing it and not feeling any better. Spencer helped her lay down, as they waited for the pain to get better while placing a wet towel on her forehead that was burning.

A loud sob left Harriet's mouth as this time the cramps hit a bit harder in her whole body. She thrust around in her bed as tears kept walking, Spencer didn't know what to do she couldn't see the little girl in pain anymore.

Her tears were ready to fall as she had to stay strong for both of them, she couldn't do this. The little girl was in too much pain. She looked at her one past time mumbling sorry again and again and run out of the room.

Not understanding her action, Harriet cried even more the pain in her body matching the pain in her heart. She thought Spencer left her like everyone else and she lost hope of getting any better. She kept crying, loud sobs leaving her mouth and her body going numb.

Spencer walked into the room with a cup of tea that hold different herbs, tears rolling down her eyes as she helped Harriet sit and hands over her cup. Harriet smiled though the pain when she saw Spencer still next to her, a relief washed over her and she took the cup without any doubt from her but Spencer, she was dying inside. She was painting she doesn't know if she did right or wrong by offering her the drink.
