Shadow Milk held the crying girl in his arms.. how did they get in this situation? He thought to himself. He listened to the small sobs and hiccups that came from Candy Apple Cookie. He couldn’t even remember.. when was the last time he held her like this? She had to have just been freshly baked..

One of his hands curled in her white hair as he closed his eyes and tried relaxing himself. “Shhh.. I’ve got you.. don’t worry.. I’m here..” He said softly as he gently toyed with her hair. He pulled her closer into his chest as he let out a soft sigh. “Please.. Candy Apple.. don’t cry..” He whispered.

“It’s okay.. I’m here.. your.. father is here..” He muttered out to her., he’d raised her since she was just an infant. An infant abandoned in the woods near the home he’d been living at the time. “..We’ll find Black Sapphire Cookie.. I promise.. kiddo..” He said softly as he hugged her.
