Love Forgotten Heart Grows Cold

The Glow burned the night Sky

The fire lit the night sky like a roman candle hiding the stars from sight, it was scorching hot where you stood by the street as you watched the flames dance around the shell of your home as if it was guided by an evil hand. The tall fire fighters were rushing about trying to drench the evil beast that was consuming your home and life. You were clutching the wolf stuffed animal you had received earlier that day from one of many boxes of birthday presents, in your tiny frail arms. The tears that had matted your ash covered cheeks had long dried as you stood in silence waiting for your family to come out of the belly of the beast that even with the fire fighters work still roared like a savage animal angry from having lost one of its meals.

As the night darkened back to the way it should have been you looked up at the night sky to see the stars twinkling back as if it were just any other night. You felt already the answer that the adults were so afraid to tell you. Your parents, brothers, and your little baby sister were gone from this world. Looking back to the damage all that was left were a few burnt pillars from the inside frame work of your  home. The demon was gone but it also took away from you your whole world along with your family's vacation home. Hearing muttered talking behind you, you would turn to look at the adults conversing with one another. Some were fire fighters and the others were dressed in white that came from the ambulance but two of them were wearing suits like what your mom had worn when she would go to work. walking over to them you would tug at the coat of a fire fighter causing them all to fall silent. He would turn to you and kneel down so he was closer to your small hight. The look in your eyes seemed to disturbe him as he kept adverting his gaze. "Where do i go now?" you asked with your childish voice causing them all to just look at you as if you were abnormal so you spoke again. "The angry monster took my family and home, where do i go now?"

One of them finally spoke but it wasnt the fire fighter you had initially wanted to talk to, it was one of the suited wemon. "We will take you to a place full of other children, the nuns will take care of you." The other woman had looked at the one who spoke with a whispered "do you really think she understands what you just said?" petting your wolf you finally spoke even though the lights showing around their bodies now that your eyes adjusted to the new found darkness made your tummy turn "I know." holding your hand out to the woman who hesitantly took it more dumbfounded by the way you were acting in perceiving the night's happenings you look up at her and gave her a small sympathetic smile. "Lets go" you said and let her lead you to her car where she put you in the back seat and buckled you in all the while you clutched your wolf. Watching the wemon get in the front seat  before closing your eyes to the lul the motor. What felt like only minutes you opened you eyes to the sound of the wemon talking low from their thought of you sleeping. "She's a strange one isnt she" the passenger woman said as she pulled out her cell phone which lit up the whole front seat giving sight to her brown hair and light face, the wrinkles you could see reminded you of your mom so they were about the same age, but the angles and lines of her face matched the dark light around her. she isnt -good people- as your grandma used to say before she had left the world less then a year prior to tonight. "Yes, most kids would be kicking and screaming not understanding that their family just died, but yet she has taken this all in stride."

"Exactly, and did you see the look in the girl's eyes? Its creepy" The brunet spoke as she began dialing numbers on her phone. "I know, the girl's eyes are very deep, she understands more and sees things differently then normal children. Almost as if she is looking into your soul and seeing things that no one else would." That driver spoke but they fell silent as the brunet put the phone to her ear, warning an orphanage that they would be bringing a little girl and that they would get her exact information in a few days time as to how old she is. but at this time all they know is that her name is midnight dushand. According to the neighbors her family were staying at their vacation home and had just arrived for Midnight's birthday and planned to stay a week. The woman fell silent listening to the other end when you decided to speak. " Im nine, my mom, dad, my two brothers derik and merik and my little sister suzy were in the house. My nanna died a few months ago. All my family is now gone from this world." The brunett turned slightly in her seat to look back at you and the one driving glanced at you through the rearview mirror. "I am small for my age but momma always said i will grow up big." you added in at their disbelief then fell silent sitting up strait to look out the window next to you. listening to the lady relaying what you just told them before she hung up.
