Prologue
The sun was bright enough to burn through your skin, the wind gentle as silk, the birds chirping a colorful melody... Yet, the clouds were of a darker gray than usual, the trees still, the rest of the town in silence.
Until the limping steps and harsh breaths of a young woman reached the ears of the witch who resided in the prettiest cabin in all of the prairie.
It was the middle of the day, and while the other women of the town went to wash their clothes in the river near by, the young pregnant witch remained in her cabin, waiting for the day of arrival of her unborn child. But all couldn't be peaceful, specially in the fate of the skilled witch.
"Help please!" the desperate woman cried, grasping fabric in her arms. "My child, my baby!"
The young witch ran as fast as her heavy bump could let her and opened the door. It was a horrid scene that stood in front of her.
A woman, nearly the witch's age, stood with a small bundle in her arms, her blonde hair and face made a sweaty mess, her white garments with patches of red on her breast and hems. The witch though of the worst things possible, specially at the heavy stage in her pregnancy.
"Oh my! W-what happened to you?!" the witch pulled the blonde woman in her home.
The woman placed the bundle of fabric on a seatt near the entrance of the cabin, letting the linen drop around and revealing a baby with blood trickling down it's mouth. The witch could only gasp and tremble.
"That thing! That monster! It wanted to kill me, it wanted to unleash its wrath on me!" the woman grasped the hem of her bloodied garment. "That's god's judgement on my sin... of sleeping with that man!"
The babies cries filled the room, feeling his mother's hatred.
The witch grasped the woman by her shoulders. "Please, calm down madam! Whatever might have been the situation, there must be a definite misunderstanding!"
The woman stared at the witch as if a demon had adorned her features and was threatening to eat her. "A misunderstanding... oh why, yes it was."
The witch's grasp loosened. "Good.. now let's tend to your wounds...and your child's"
"My child's..?" the blonde turned on her heels and looked at a piece of sharp metal that rested on top of a table. "You mean the demon that was inside me for nine months only to be born and almost bite the milk of my breast with it's horrid fangs!"
Suddenly, like a haze, the woman grasped the metal and ran back to the seat on which her child rested, raising it above his small body. The witch could only scream.
Before the tip of the knife could finish making a mark on the newborn's chest a strong hand grasped the woman's and pushed it away from the child.
"Darling!" the witch stared horridly at the scene in front of her, watching as her husband pushed the woman away from the baby.
"Go!" The man stared at the woman. "Take your vengeance and horrid guilt and leave this cabin immediately!"
The woman, which held the knife no more, stared at the couple and then at the witch's bump. "You have made a big mistake! You don't know the monster you have unleashed into the world..."
The blonde woman grabbed her child as quickly as she could and ran to the door, staring at the couple once again before leaving.
"The sin which you have committed will be paid back in the future... the destiny that this monster has will collide with your child's, then you will remember me and the mistake you have made..."
Then day turned to a bright colored sunset, leaving the couple entwined in an embrace. The witch stared at the open door and then at her husband.
"Do not pay attention to a lunatic's words, she will burn in hell for her words" The young man stared at his young wife's terrified face.
The witch hugged her bump. "The baby... we let her take the poor child..."
"It is not our problem now, it is their fate... and you know it well. She is not a witch as yourself, she is just a simple woman, and her words cant curse our child."
The young wife pulled away from the embrace of her husband and walked towards the open door that let the sunset in. "May the child which she has brought to this world live with the happiness it deserves. May it be the most loving of beings to walk among the surface in which we walk upon... And if it's fate meets with my child's, may it be with a wonderful purpose... The purpose of beautiful life..."
