Hey Everybody! This is my first story so be easy on me! So you know this is the prologue so it's supposed to be short. I promise that the other chapters will be longer than this.

Also the 'hooded figure's' identity will be revealed in time. She is an OC of mine! So if anyone would like to use her PLEASE ask first!

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING!

Well except 'the hooded figure'

Prologue

On a moon lit street, a cloaked figure was bowed over a delicately wrapped package. Careful not to wake the baby, the figure hustled, looking to find a safe home for the boy. Looking down at the child, the figure marveled at his raven black hair.

A twig snapped behind, causing the figure to quicken its pace. More rushed than before, the figure desperately searched for a suitable home for the child.

Coming upon a brick house with a giant neon sign connected to it, the figure mentally searched the house's inhabitants.

Sleeping in a room upstairs was a couple together in bed. Not far was a young girl that was, as well, asleep. Coming to the doorstep, a pale hand reached through the cloaks sleeve and removed the hood, revealing a woman with hair as dark as the boy's. Smiling sadly, she placed the boy on the house's doorstep. Bending over, she gently kissed the boy on the forehead.

"Farewell, my son," she whispered as she ran a careful hand through his hair. Closing her eyes, she said, "I will always love you, my child." Waking up from his sleep, the boy cooed at his mother. Holding her boy for a moment longer, she quietly sang to her baby.

"Lay down your head

And I'll sing you a lullaby

Back to the years of loo-lee-lie-lay

And I'll sing you to sleep

And I'll sing you tomorrow

Bless you with love

For the road that you go," after humming the rest she kissed his forehead as she reluctantly set him down.

"I'll love you, my son, for always and forever." Cooing, the boy held on to her finger. Careful not to release the boy's grip, she knocked until she heard footsteps. Kissing him one last time she released her finger, and walked away, tears gleaming on her cheeks.

Hearing her boy's cries broke her heart, but it was for his protection. Not wanting to see her boy handed off to strangers, she hurried away before her heart would shatter more.

"Good bye, my son," she whispered as she silently cried and was swallowed up by the darkness of night.

ALRIGHT! How did I do? Tell me what you think, perhaps in a review?

P.S. I would like to see if you guys can guess what song I had her sing. (I don't own the song!)
