The Tale of Fear

Chapter 1

             A long time ago on a dark and stormy autumn night in a small town surrounded by forest, a baby was born. But not just some regular baby for after the child was born it did not cry or make any sound at all. When the parents of the child came to this shocking realization they were so shocked for they didn't know such a thing was possible, a baby to die at birth. Since this has never happened before or at least not in their town, after mourning their current loss, the parents decided that they would do the proper thing and bury the child. The mother was so devastated that her first and only child had died, so as her spouse was digging a grave for their child she sadly knitted a black dress. After putting the dress on the child all she wanted to do was hug and hold her tragedy of a child so she did. But to her surprise she heard a little drum pounding and was bewildered by the sudden sound, she just tried to focus on her recent events. While trying to focus the mother felt the hot air of someone breathing on her she looked around thinking it was her spouse but no one was there she thought she was going mad. All she could recall is that it was her and.......and.... her daughter. She looked down to see her daughter's dark denim eyes looking up at her! She quickly ran out to her spouse and told him the great news, their daughter was alive. Excited, the parents decided to change their original name for the baby girl to something different, something no one had ever heard before. Neith.
