Her hands caressed her smooth face, frantically wrapping her in a blanket. She hushed the small child, while it was whimpering to the sound of thunder and the flash of lightning. The woman heard yelling and screaming outside the castle, as the rain poured down absolutely hard. Then, a bang hit the door. Two bangs. Three. More bangs came. She looked around the room making sure she had grabbed everything. Opening the window, the wind blew in with the rain. She held the child close to her heart, and jumped, falling a few feet down. Landing on the back of the horse, there was a man already set on it.
"Go, Suzah, go!" The woman yelled as the horse whined, galloping off into the dark night with a 'Hyahh!'.
They ended up in a forest, absolutely surrounded by trees. As Suzah calmed down the horse, he looked over at the woman who was on the ground. Holding her chest, she felt her heart pounding harder and harder. Faster and faster. Her baby cried out for her, knowing she wasn't going to survive. Suzah ran to her and held the woman in his arms.
"Lucille.." He mumbled her name under his breath, as he looked back and fourth between her and the baby.
"Suzah.." gripping onto his hand, she looked into his eyes, words about to slip off of her lips.
"Don't.. Don't let them take.. N.. Namine.." As Suzah held her in his arms, her body went limp.
Not one tear rolled out, not one sob slipped from his mouth. He looked over at the baby, still wailing. After burying and covering Lucille's body, he searched for a big rock. Carving her name in it, he also engraved a symbol. It had appeared to be a bird symbol. Taking the baby, as it settled its wailing, he rode off into the night. The baby was named.. Namine.
This dear child will change everything.. Even the world.
