Tabitha looks at the new comer she found as the person slept. She wonders who she is and where she came from and why her mouth had been sewn shut. She had watched as Shareen removed the stitching on the girls mouth. She also had to tend to some cuts and broken bones that healed improperly.
“I wonder why someone would sew her mouth shut?” Tabitha looks over towards the humanoid American Eskimo woman.
Shareen touches her patients forehead and send a touch of her healing ability into the young woman. Her ability discovered the poor thing was fighting an infection down in her lower regions.
“I don't know, but no one deserved this type of treatment. This poor thing was feed animal blood.” Shareen's ability had informed her, that this poor girl had been forced feed animals blood.
Tabitha looks at Shareen when she says that “why would any one feed her animal blood?”
“Why do people do horrible things to each other, Tabitha.”Shareen looks at Tabitha.
Tabitha just shrugs her shoulders. This is the first time she found a new comer. She has seen how some of the people in other villages and towns were treated. However, none of what she saw was as cruel and mean as what she is seeing now.
“Do you think she is a bad person?” Tabitha knew some of the people that show up were bad people as well, but normally they didn't last long.
“No. Her aura is too clean, except for the black spots where she is sick.” Before Shareen came to Nulea, she use to be a doctor in training.
She also was a member of a Dianic coven and learning how to heal people using ancient medical treatment, when modern ones didn't work.
Shareen was out walking her American Eskimo, when a strange storm came out of no where. At first she thought it was a tornado, but this storm was different. She blacked out when lighting struck her and her pet. When she woke-up, she was laying on a bed like the one in her medical tent with a strange black hair woman with an old weathered face looking down at her.
That was when she learned what happened to her. How she had been changed from the lightning and merged with her beloved dog. That was four years ago. It has been in the last two years, she met another person like herself. The poor man had been out running with his dog and was merged with it, when he came over.
“What should I tell my father about her?” Tabitha knew her father wanted to know as much as possible about the new comer.
“Tell him to hold his horses and if he can't. I'll personally come over and sew his mouth shut.” Shareen liked Tabitha's father and enjoyed being part of his family.
“I would love to see that.” Tabitha enjoyed watching her father debate stuff with Shareen. She was only a handful of people that could get away with talking back to her father.
“Well, I'm going to go and get some lunch. Do you want anything?”
“Yes, can you ask Jacob to make a plate for me, please?” Shareen looks at Tabitha.
“Do you want your normal, or something special?”
“Something different will be nice.” Shareen figures she would try something different then her normal lunch.
“Okay, I'll tell Jacob.” Tabitha walks out of Shareen's place and head towards the outside kitchen
Jacob designed the place himself. He and his helpers always went into town to buy the ingredients he couldn't grow himself. He had a big garden behind his outside hut that had everything he loved to serve.
“Hey Jacob, watch you got cooking today?”Tabitha loved Jacob's cooking.
Jacob looks up from the sauce he was mixing when he hears Tabitha's young voice. A smile appears on his face “I have some smoke pig ready if you want some.”
“Oh, yes! I love the way you cook it.” Tabitha loved the special basing Jacob used on the pigs he cooked. One of the ingredients was the
special fruit she loved to eat right off the tree. It had a sweet juice taste to it, but was hard to cut open.
The thorns that protected the exterior made it impossible to grab off the tree and to open. You had to be very careful, while opening it. Once you went to all that worked to open the fruit. You were rewarded with the sweetest, tasting fruit. The tavern owners uses it to make their specialty wines and beer.
Tabitha walks over and sits down on one of the high stool seats. She looks at Jacob “Shareen said to surprise her with something new.”
“I can do that. How's the new comer doing?” Jacob heard about the new comer Tabitha found earlier today, down on the beach.
“She's still out of it. Shareen said she was badly abused and mistreated.” Tabitha wonders what crime she committed to be treated like she was.
“Well, I hope she recovers. We could use another hand around here.” Jacob couldn't wait for the new air ship to be completed. The kitchen still needed to be furnished as well the giant cooler that was installed.
“Who knows if she can cook.” Tabitha has helped Jacob out a few times and knew he was picky about how you prepared his meals.
“Its a bonus if she does, but I know the ship builders and mechanics could use an extra hand.”
“I know, Jeff is always complaining that he doesn't have enough people to get the ship ready on time.” Tabitha knew Jeff White was worried they wouldn't be ready for take off, like her father wanted.
"Unfortunately, she is still unconscious, so we won't know what she can do, until she wakes up."
