Within the shadow. A child was born out of love and lust. She born under the full moon, but the moon wasn’t normal at all. it bathes in blood. The newborn baby girl body soaks into the moonlight as her body drips within it bloody dye rays. A shadow of a human's body masks itself within the night staring into the eyes of the child. A dark cold grin emerges across it face whispering within the child’s ears. gently touches the baby’s cheek leaving it mark’s behind. The warmth of the baby girls' cheeks trembles against its finger as it burns the child's arm.
The baby girl cries out it first teardrop. Screaming for help. Hoping to be saved from this unknown pain. it small fingers reach out to the moon staring into the cold eyes of the shadow. Weeping for its mother. Weeping to be heard. Within this dark cold world of unknown to it. The burn clings to the child flesh scrapping deep within its bones. Her cries shatter the silence of her home. The movement of footsteps echoing throughout the house as her cries continue to echo. Hoping. Pleading for the pain to end. To wish someone can save her.
The darkness consumes by light. The once human shadow fade into the dark watching as it cold dark grim hidden within the night. A young woman approaches the screaming baby. She rubs her eyes smelling the burning of flesh within the room. She looks around the room staring into the dark corners. As her eyes fall down staring into the eyes of her daughter. The baby continues to scream. The tears streamed down her cheek seeking for help. The young mother picks up her newborn child. As the smell of dead and burning flesh burns her nose. A little cough echo against the walls of the room. Once sleeping face turns pale. The young mother trembles in shock as she begins too kisses her baby girl's forehead repeatedly. shushing her to silence. “It is okay sweetie, Mommy here” She whispers in the ears of her daughter. she slowly rocks the baby against her chest carrying her away. Humming gently into her ears calming her down “it's okay Florea. Mommy here.” She continues to say over and over as she speeds turns her bedroom to awaken her sleeping husband. Florea continues to cry out in pain twisting herself within her mother’s arms. As the smell of her flesh burning gets strong.
“Tobi?.. wake up!?” the trembles within her voices awaken the young man. His pale white cream skin bathe within the pure moonlight. His tired brown eyes stare up at his wife as he easy up. He can smell the burning of the flesh as his eyes widen staring at his daughter's arm. Florea's arm was dye in red. swallowing from the burn. He can see that the burns look like something, but doesn’t think about it. He jumps out of the bed and grabs his car keys and run down the stairs. His wife follows behind. Trying to calm Florea as best as she can. She was shaking wondering what happened to her baby girl. How could this happen to them? She steps outside the house not care if the doors were unlocked. she races to the car clinging to her baby girl. “Angel? Hurry we have to bring her to the hospital. Do you know what happens? Did someone break in the house? Did someone enter her room from the window?” Tobi shouted this into the night as his voices echo loudly down the street as midnight cricket chirping into the night. Angel stares at him hushing Florea within her arms as the baby continues to cries out in pain.
She looks down at her baby girl. Hushing her humming sweet melody within her ears as she walks turn the car. Trying everything to calm her down, but nothing seems to work. Tobi opens the car door for her as she sits holding her close humming kissing Florea’s face all over.
As she examined the burns. Her face turns pale white. Her caramel skin was slowly drained of its color as she touches the phoenix burning into her daughter’s arms. She shakes her head. Not believing it. Thinking her minds is playing a horrible cruel trick on her. She prays to god hoping he can her pled hoping he listen to her cry. “Not my baby girl… not her” she whispers. Florea cries continue to echo clashing against the car window. Tobi jumps into the driver's seat as he turns on the ignition as he hits on the gas driving to the hospital. Not knowing what his wife is whispering in the passenger seat of the car.
The crying pain from Florea settled into Tobi mind. All he can think about what happened to his daughter. As the question that he fears they will face once entering the hospital. Florea wasn’t born within the walls of the hospital was against Angel's belief so they had to give birth to their daughter within their home with the help of a nurse and doctor, but to drive to the hospital this late. “what happens in her room.” is all his whisper. His mind darkness as his eyes sits clouded. The echo of truck blowing it horn shattering Tobi empty question back into reality.As the screaming voice of Angel telling him to look out. Angel wraps her body around Florea protecting the screaming baby with her body from any pain. For it was already too late. The car makes a turn crashing head-on into a tree. As the truck swift against the road. Tobi body flung against the steering wheel crushing his head against the steering wheel. Hitting it repeatedly. As his brain repeatedly hit against his skull. Angel’s body flung against the windshield as her body precise with glass. Her bloody drips against Florea body.
Florea’s body was wrap protected by her mother. Her cries echo through the night. Her cries shattered the silence of the night. her cries of pain. Her tiny body cover within her own mother bloody. As her tiny caramel finger reaches for the moon crying even louder. Hoping to be heard. Hoping to be found.
