The night is dark with only the shining moon to give illumination, everything is still and silent, its rather tranquil you could say. When suddenly the shuffling of feet are heared. The outline of two darkly clad figures can be seen as they move towards a big old rickety and run down building. In the arms of one of the mysterious figures , a white bundle a white bundle is spotted , one of the sitlehouttes almost invincible against the darkness moves to the front steps of the building.
This sitlehoutte smaller and more slender than the other carefully kneels on the steps placing the bundle carefully on the highest one. The sitlehoutte hovers above the bundle seeming hesitant to leave it, seeing the companions uncertainty , the second figure comes to kneel beside the first placing a hand on the shoulder in a comforting gesture. The second figure is bigger with a muscular build the outline of muscles peeking out of the black fabric.
"My love, we must go. It has to be done, we will see her again someday and till then she will be watched over." whispers the bigger figure with a masculine voice, hoarse and laced with pain and guilt.
"I know......., but I have to see her one more time." the sitlehoutte whispers with a soft feminine voice choked up and thick with heart break , hands hovering above the bundle.
She pulls away some of the cloth to reveal a beautiful baby not more than a few months old. The light of the moon lights up her angelic features making them more entrancing, smooth creamy skin, luscious golden brown waves, thick long lashes that brush against her cheeks as she sleeps. The figure runs a hand through the sleeping child's hair causing her to wake up her eyes opening to reveal astonishing turquoise coloured orbs which take in the situation with quiet fascination.
The sitlehoutte reaches to her neck to unclaspe something which turns out to be a necklace with instigate designs then clasps it around the child's neck. She bends down to kiss the child's forehead whispering.
"Good bye my beautiful daughter" a glistening tear slipping from her eye into the child's cheek.
Suddenly, the shrill sound of a bell pierces through the night breaking the serenity.
The war ships are coming.The cloaked figures give one last glance at the silent un comprehending child who gazes at them, then run into the night , disappearing into the darkness.
Thunder booms, lightning strikes, illuminating the darkness with harsh light revealing a sight hanging above the door of the old rickety building.
