Keeper

Chapter 1

Wander over Yonder belongs to Craig McCracken and Disney.

Sylvia carried the little baby in her arms as she walked through the forest. The leaves high above her head as they barely blocked the rain from her head and keeping her hair dry. Her clothes already covered in muck from the walk through the swamp. Walking on fallen trees did nothing from keeping her bounty hunter clothes clean. The baby boy was no better, sniffling as Sylvia carried him and keeping her tucked away in her arms. The inn, The BOOK AND THE CLUB, was only four to five more miles. Crap. Sylvia had stopped walking and the baby boy cooed curiously at her. Sylvia had forgotten, she had forgotten everything that the nice lady had told her all the way back in Yhin. 
 
Sylvia's stomach growled, she was hungry, so hungry. And the little baby's stomach growled too. She stopped walking and sat down. She knew it was stupid to do so, but her feet hurt so much. The baby boy cooed again, this time in worry for his caregiver. 
 
"I'm sorry kiddo, I'm hungry too. And I don't know if you're weaned from your mother's milk. I'm so sorry." Sylvia apologized to the baby. 
 
"K." Was the only thing that left the child's mouth. "K." 
 
Sylvia guessed that meant, 'okay' for a one-year-old human child. At least he didn't know how to yell at her yet, well in a way that Sylvia could completely understand the child. Sylvia pulled back the part of the dark blue blanket that Sylvia had found with him that covered the boy's hair. It was starting to grow longer, reaching his ears. His orange curley hair blew in the cold temperature wind along with Sylvia's blue and pink hair.
 
The baby yawned and his small hands grabbed onto the blanket and his eyes closed. Sylvia's feet didn't hurt anymore by the time the boy fell asleep. Standing up, Sylvia finally started walking the long walk once again to THE BOOK AND CLUB. At least she didn't have a crying baby alerting the wolves this time.
