Song To The Wolves

My eyes widened as Lord Lurcas pulled down my hood, then with one slick move I opened up the red cloak slightly letting the purple clash forward. My breath was shallow and my eyes refused to blink as the crowd gasped and mummers began, I felt shivers at my spine. Eyes. Allot of them stared at me from strangers to people who I've known my whole life. The villagers who would throw stones at me, the kids who beat me with sticks them who called me a witch. My fists clenched together to control the shakes that spread though my body, was I afraid or was I nervous.

"Sing" Lord Lurcas whispered in my ear.

My time to play the role of Rose. I took a step away from him, closer to the fire and let my hands fall loosely instead of clenched in fists, letting out a quite breath. I closed my eyes playing the soft tune Lady Buck hummed to me. 

"Beautiful and pure, the roses in bloom. But now I stand trapped in my own gloom. Because deep down inside I know I'm doomed. The moon It came, it shined down on me. From that day I knew I  Wouldn't be free. On nights like this the wolves come out, there teeth bared as there ready to scare. But I stand tall with all my might. Because tonight I'll put up a fight" 

My eyes closed and my body moved on its own as though it was slowly dancing to the song I sang.

"But do you want to know, just how far I can go? when the roses die and I we stand in the moon light glow. The moon  that came, it shined down on me. But on that day it decided to set me free. On nights like these the wolves come out, there teeth bared as there ready to scare. But I'll stand tall with all my might. Because Tonight I'll put up a fight" 

"You see the wolves are not like both you and me. There a curse and they long to be free. So I'll stand with all my might, because tonight I will fight. With a wolf, who was once the love of my life. And tonight I killed him with a silver Knife" 

I took a deep breath and with my voice lowered I sang.

"So this is my song. My song to the wolves. Listen now, or forever be doomed. As of tonight I'm coming for you"

My breath came out in a rush after the song was over, my head was bowed and my palms was clenched together, I had done it I had sang.  The song made no sense but one day it should make sense to me though I doubt it would, its jumpy and needs work doing to it.

When an applause came form the audience I knew I had down well playing the part of Rose, i just hoped I brought the correct mystic feel to the story by singing the song, I don't remember the last live ever being there but it just sounded right like it had to be there. 

"Ia, our villages violet flower is a hidden rose in the rough" Lord Lurcas clapped his hands before placing his hand on my shoulder lightly with a smile.

"Now the party shall begin" With that music began to play and people was up dancing  to the beat finding partners to dance with all beginning to have fun.

Lord Lurcas lead me over to the chiefs where I did a small bow to the mighty powerful looking chiefs, they all had that scary glow.

The first chief stood and took my hand planting a kiss on my knuckle.

"I'm Lord Julus, of Fruited Village just south of here. Its an delight to be introduce to you. You have a wonderful voice as well as beauty" The first chief spoke giving me a small smile. Fruited village was known for its fruits and farming, it was the youngest of villages from the area over seventy years old.

"Thank you" I smiled as he released my hand.

The first chief then sat allowing the second to stand and take my hand in his.
