~third person~
"Please, don't take her!" A woman cried out to a scale faced man holding an infant wrapped in full grey wool.
"Sorry Dearie. Maybe you shouldn't make deals for things you don't understand."
The man let out a horrid laugh before summoning an ugly redish brown cloud that engulfed him and the infant.
"Sam!" The woman cried out as she fell to her knees in tears.

The man appeared into an empty castle holding the infant who had begun crying.
"Now. Now. Sam there is no point in crying. She never truly loved you. Otherwise she wouldn't have made a deal offering you up." He softly spoke to the infant as he held her into the air above him. "You are just what I need to finish up my current project."
He lowered the baby as he realized it's been a long time since he's raised a child.
*6 years old*
"Papa, where are we going?" A little girl asked as she followed man deeper into the forest.
Two years ago she would have been scared, but she's six now. She had to prove she's a big girl now, so Papa would show her the village he always talked about. To prove she's a big girl now she has to be brave even in the dark spooky forest.
The man remained quiet, so she tried to distract herself my looking at the small animals and flowers she saw.
Suddenly the man stopped walking and turned to face the girl. She couldn't help but notice he looked a bit sad as he kneeled down to her height.
"Sam. I..." The man found himself at a loss of words.
He shook his head as he stood up. His expression changed from on full of sorrow to one that was as cold as ice.
"Did I do something wrong Papa?"
He shook his head once again, before he summoned his cloud leaving the girl alone in the forest.
"Papa?" She no longer cared about being brave. She was scared not only because of the forest, but because she was now alone.
