The air blew silently through the charred trees, fire licked at the straw built houses, loud terrified screams erupted from the town. The shadows were killing anybody in sight, no matter what they were. Child, women and men were all slain.

The castle didn't have peace either the screams of a woman in labour echoed though the castle walls, maids stood by her side holding her hands. Soon loud cries were heard "m'lady it's a healthy boy" the maid said excitedly handing the newborn to his mother who gave a weak smile "oh isn't he cute!" She stated "Henry dear?" She called and her husband came to her side smiling ever so fondly "Emma.. It's a boy.. What wonderful news!" He stated grinning. Emma nodded and smiled down at the boy "Jasper.. That's his name.." She whispered.

Meanwhile everybody around the castle had been slaughtered, all that was now left was the people in the castle. The leader had sensed a great danger to his leading, the birth of a new born.. He glared 'hand him over and you'll all live' his voice sneered and echoed through the castle so they could hear.

Henry frowns "he'll kill him Emma..." He whispered. Emma nodded "I know.. So no. I'm not parting with him!" The shadow leader hissed and waited until night time sending in all of his minions.
