So, basically this is another Muse fic I'm doing, I'm a wee bit obsessed :) So read, review/favorite if you like, if you don't like it sorry about that, and here goes nothing I guess.

She stepped into the room with a solemn face. The tall women was unnoticed by all except two young children as she made her way across the room, her tall black heels making clicking noises with every step. I was one of the small children who'd noticed her all those years ago. There were 21 of us I'd counted and 19 went along with their business; playing with blocks, making 'tea' in the play kitchen, having a race with small toy cars and other 'normal' child entertainment things, but I'd never been normal. I remember looking at her curiously, and then looking straight back to the puzzle I was doing when she shot a quick, but very intense look at me. Her dark, clear green eyes looked wise and experienced although she looked as if she could be no more than 30 years old. But there was something else in her eyes; sorrow maybe? She was in the room for not one minute, but I felt the need to notice everything about her; her skin-tight black clothing, the small cuts on her thin, nimble hands, her high cheekbones, the straight face she wore, the contradiction of her expression to her eyes, the way her jet black, shoulder-length hair bounced ever so slightly as she walked, her quick, but still graceful pace, and most importantly, her voice. My small untrained ears strained to hear her whispers she spoke in my teacher, Miss Ruby's, ear softly. She spoke two names, one of which was mine, the words "departure", "challenge" and "protection" as far as I could hear then. Miss Ruby called out my name and the name of the boy who'd noticed her too. While I was glad I would not be alone, I was frightened by the disposition the woman seemed to be in and doubted two children could overcome whatever was looming over us. We stood up and looked at each other briefly before walking towards her.
Oh, how I wished I'd heard everything before I followed.
