Broken
It was a horrible rainy day of November. The water kept knocking on the glass of the window and the wind was blowing outside like it had never done before that autumn. Halloween had just passed, and there still were pumpkins and strange decorations in front of every house of the street.
Inside one of them, at the edge of the street, on the left side, a young woman was staring at the empty road outside.
"Lily, I've been looking for you in the whole house. What worries you, love? Are you thinking about the baby? Are you still scared because you believe you won't be a good mother? We've already talked about this, you really don't have anything to worry about. Lily…Lily, what happened?"
The woman stood there motionless for another minute.
"No, James, nothing like that. Nothing happened for now, it's just…I have a sort of bad feeling, I don't know how to explain… I feel as if something awful is going to happen, but I don't know what…"
"You only need some rest, love. It's natural that you feel strange and vulnerable, but remember that I'll be always by your side, whatever happens, till death do us apart. Be happy: next July we'll have another hungry mouth in our family!"
Far from there…
"A child. A child is going to be born. He, the child born at the end of the seventh month, will become the only one able to defeat him. The enemy of the enemy is coming. He is coming to save the whole world from the shadow of his madness ."*
* I know, I changed the prophecy a bit. Can you pass me this poetic licence? ^_^
