Hey guys, welcome to the side story to Child of Heaven. This fic will be not linear and each chapter will focus on only one character. You can request me in the reviews about which character you would like to see me write about but i will be occasionally adding stuff like one shots that didn`t make it in the main story or other POV that happened during a story arc.

Anyway, Enjoy

Falling Stars

One

Sasha Matlock

It was late during the night as the woman worked upon her papers. Sasha Matlock was young blue haired young woman with her hair pulled back, with a small mole on the side of her eye. She was the creator of Matlock Orphanage, where she had dedicated her life to take care of the children that didn`t have a home to call theirs.

Ever since she had been a child, Sasha loved to take care of others. She had spend a good part of her life working at taking care of others when she had been part of a Wizard Guild. The young woman smiled lightly to herself as she thought back to her younger days, when she will take Jobs with her old friends, to face adventures all over Fiore.

Then her office door opened, and the nurse of the Orphanage stepped into it.

"I have seen the light of your office still alight," she said, "You`re not going to sleep yet?"

Sasha smiled.

"Not yet," the woman greeted, "I still have a few factures to sign before heading to bed."

The nurse shook her head.

"I think you`re worked hard enough," she said, "This place wont be as well off as it is without everything you`ve done."

Sasha nodded glancing down at the papers in front of her.

"I know," she said, "But I am simply double checking everything to see if everything is up to par."

"Well, don't stay up too late," the nurse told her, "You have that meeting with the mayor coming up."

"Don't remind me," Sasha sighed letting out a groan, "I think that man like to make me suffer."

"I`m sure that you`re exaggerating," the nurse told her with a light smile.

There was a knock at the door and the nurse opened it up, showing the small girl that was at the door.

"Samara?" Sasha said surprised, "Why are you still up?"

Samara had been a child that had survived a dangerous fire that had destroyed her home. The young girl had been crying her eyes out when Sasha had found her and had decided to take her in. She was one of the youngest children there.

"I`ll take her back to bed," the nurse said, "C`mon now, let leave the Matron to work…and Sasha, don't stay up too late."

"I won't," Sasha told her with a chuckle.

The door of her office closed and the young woman chuckled to herself at her friend`s worry. It wasn`t like she stayed up too late a lot of times. It just she was always so into her work, that she never notices when the time goes by.

The blue haired woman returned her attention to the papers in front of her before she started to work again, the sound of her pen loud in the muted silence around her. Time passed slowly as the paperwork became less and less and soon enough, she was finished with her work.

Sasha stretched herself, letting out a yawn as she glanced at the clock on the wall. It was well past three in the morning.

Time to go to sleep, she thought standing up.

She walked out from her desk and made her way toward her lamp turning it off. Then the woman was about to make her way toward the door when a sudden bright golden light from the window drew her attention.

Sasha froze blinking for a few seconds before making her way toward her window to check the surroundings, but whatever that light was, it had completely disappeared making her wonder what exactly she had seen.

Then she heard it, a sound she had become quite familiar with in her Orphanage.

The sound of a crying child.

Sasha didn`t even pause to think about it. Her decision was already made the moment that sound had reached her ears. Her body was already moving on autopilot, quickly grabbing her coat from where it hang and made her way downstairs, toward the front door.

She unlocked it, and opened the door.

There, lying in a bundle of clothes was a small baby. Sasha stared at the child for a few seconds, completely taken aback for a few seconds before kneeling beside the small child.

The baby looked to be a few months old at best and with the small patch hair on the head and the pudgy face. She picked her up and the small child reacted to her touch as the eyes opened.

Sasha blinked.

The eyes were silvery color, so bright that for a second Sasha thought she was looking at the reflection of the moon but it took her a few seconds to realize that it was actually the child`s eyes.

The woman took hold of her and started to hum a song to the small baby, something she usually do when she take care of the smaller children, and it seems to work upon the baby for the crying subsided until it was silence once again.

Sasha glanced around the empty area in front of the Orphanage. The front gates were locked shut from where she can see, so how did this child get in here? She was confused but she was never one to turn her back on a small child.

"Come now little one," she said, "let`s get you some place warm."

The baby didn`t move and the small snores were the sounds Sasha could hear as she stepped back inside the Orphanage. It caused a small smile to grow upon her lips although, she wondered what kind of parents could abandon a small baby on her doorsteps.

See, it`s just story shorts. I`m sure readers of Child of Heaven knows who Sasha just picked up in her arms right now. Well this is it for this chapter of Falling Stars. Hope you have enjoyed the insight on the other POV of characters in Child of Heaven.
