I
called, no matter where I was in the house, and Mismatch had said
if I needed him, he’d come.
    I waited and waited, starting to cry when I
heard the men approach the tree where I hid. Clinging to Mrs.
Nettles, I squeezed the jewel even tighter. Her plush coat soaked
up my tears.
    “Please, Mismatch. I’m scared!”
    Another long moment passed, and one of the
men began to climb the makeshift ladder to the tree house.
    I huddled with my favorite pet, pressing my
face into her fur, and waited for them to find me.
    Wind whipped the tree branches together, and
they clattered. My eyes flew open, and I stared out the skylight at
the wide wings beating the air above the tree.
    “I knew you’d come,” I said, smiling happily
through my tears. My heart swelled with love for the creature I
brought to life and came when I needed him.
    You are in danger, little
one. His words slid into my
mind.
    “I know.”
    Stay where you are until I tell you to come
out. Do not look outside. Do you understand?
    “Yes.” I hunkered down and closed my
eyes.
    He said nothing else, and the clatter of
branches stopped. Someone in the backyard shouted. I tensed, scared
and worried about my gargoyle.
    “We’re going to be okay, Mrs. Nettles.” I
wiped my running nose on her head. She snuggled against me. “Don’t
you worry. Mismatch is here. He’ll take care of us and tomorrow,
we’ll go to Grandma’s and Mama and Daddy will be there waiting for
us.”
    Little did I know at the innocent age of
six, I’d never see my family again.
