[b]Katie - Baton Rouge - Tyler and others[/b]

Things happened so fast Katie didn't know what to say or do so she kept quiet. People were talking and shouting so she just cuddled her kitten and tried to keep her daddy in sight at all times.
She didn't like Adam. He looked funny, like something was wrong with him. And he called her daddy by the wrong name.

She stood near Jacob and Liam, since they were kids like her. They found a new girl who made her think of Emma.
Where was Emma now? Katie missed her an awful lot. She missed talking to her and how Emma used to tuck her in at night.

While everyone was talking Katie's stomch growled. She was hungry, and thirsty. The seven year old bit her lip. When her daddy got down to ask her what she wanted to do, she hugged his neck. 
"Daddy?" she said in a loud whisper. "I'm hungry."
She didn't say it in a whiny or complaining voice, just stating a fact. She said it almost apologetically, like she was sorry for being hungry.
She looked at Adam and her eyes widened. "He scares me," she told her daddy. She knew her daddy would never let anything hurt her, but Adam still made her uncomfortable. "He looks funny." By that she meant he was acting funny. Katie didn't know what drugs were or what being 'high' meant so to her Adam was just acting strange and that made her nervous. She saw Adam looking at her and shied away, trying to make herself smaller against her daddy's side.

Her kitten needed food and she wanted food. She didin't know what to do. She wasn't used to making decisions.
"I want to stay with you," she said, clutching Tyler's arm. "You're not leaving me, right?" she asked fearfully. "Don't ever go away again."
