Cheesy bread – that’s what Stella loves. Of all the things she could choose to like, I guess it’s partially a blessing that it’s bread with just cheese sprinkled on top. And it’s rather cheap so I don’t mind buying it for her. She’s my daughter anyway so I’ll buy whatever she wants. My parents weren’t kidding when they said your children just have you wrapped around their little finger – I’d be at Stella’s beckoning call as fast as I possibly could during any situation, and that right now is just to fetch some bread to have for dessert. Unfortunately as far as females go, these biddings are just going to become more frequent and require a greater monetary amount that I really should be storing up now. But once again I’ll worry about that later when the time comes.

The baker hands me the bread and I pass him a few coins, smiling in thanks and rolling up the paper bag. I turn around, looking for S—

”Stella?” I look around for that familiar head of dirty blonde hair and her glistening eyes but she’s nowhere to be seen. I try not to panic – maybe she’s just gone to stand outside the shop. Keeping the panic off my face I quickly step outside the shop, expecting to see her maybe tugging at a patch of onion grass. She isn’t there. She isn’t there. That’s when the panic sets in. My eyes quickly scan the people walking by, right about their knees, but I don’t see her. She’s gone.

”Stella?!” Shouldering my way into the crowd, I keep my gaze down and search frantically for my little girl, clutching the bread back with a white-knuckled grip. She couldn’t have gone very far, I only had my back turned for a few minutes at the most. As people pass by I ask if they’ve seen a young toddler about yey high though I don’t linger too long to hear their answer. My little Stella’s missing and I’ll be damned if I don’t find her.

The panic is obvious in my voice and I’m asking another family if they’ve seen my little girl when I bump into someone. Without hesitating I turn to the person, not really hearing the family’s answer. ”Please, you have to help me.” I’m desperate by now and it’s obvious. ”My little girl – have you seen her? She’s about yey high and has dirty blonde hair and she was just by the bakery but now I can’t find her. Please, can you help me?”

Things had been rough for me this winter, my usual methods of income had been cut off, and my part time job as a tutor was no longer necessary for this time of season. Food was scarce and my clothes, well don't even get me started on them, they weren't even fit for winter and the cold that it brought with it. My little shack, or home as I called it, was freezing, with no proper heating system the cold air blew through it without opposition. I had to do something fast otherwise I would freeze to death this winter, and so many people relied on me to help them during the spring and summer seasons, I couldn't die on them.

Rising from the chair that I had been sitting in, in my kitchen, I walked to the front door and grabbed my ~~jacket~~, thin overshirt and walked out the door into the cold air of District 7. There was something telling me that it was necessary to be out here, that there was a purpose behind it, I didn't always have these feelings, but when I did I tended not to trifle with them. I carefully walked along the frozen streets of the district keeping my eyes open for any signs of trouble. I reached the end of the street and hadn't found anything...but my senses were never wrong, there had to be something.

Than my eyes caught site of a small girl, her age was undetermined, but she had a scared look on her face like she was lost or something. I looked around for anyone that could possibly be her parents, but no one even gave her a second look. That could only mean one thing...that she was lost. Walking over to her I knelt down, and lifted her chin so she could look into my eyes. "Are you lost sweetie, did you lose your mommy and daddy? Come on with me and we'll fine them for you okay, don't worry, you'll be okay." I gently took hold of her hand and walked towards the center of town. Chances were the parents of this child were there, and they had gotten distracted by something around them.

My theory was proven to be correct for as we approached the square I could hear the paniced voice of a man, the tones of desperation very clear in his trembling voice. I walked purposefully towards him, and rested my hand on his shoulder. "Calm yourself hun, your daughter is safe and sound, right here. Please, calm yourself everything is fine. Your daughter was a strong, smart girl, she did what every child should do when they're lost. I found her and here we are now, safe and sound."
