*facepalm* Well, I needed something to work on during rehearsals, and I didn't want to write the others...

Disclaimer: NEITHER of these are mine, except Catherine, Nessarose, Doctor Lyle, and some future OCs.

Catherine Dovenchenko tiptoed through the quiet hospital. It was New Year's Day, 1926. Most people were out celebrating.

Not her. She had a job to do and she intended to do it.

How easy to steal away a babe from this nursery. Catherine smirked at her own thoughts as she slipped into the nursery, looking on the cards on the cribs.

Ryan, Kiana Alicia.

Donald, Kyle Johann.

Tello, Andy Carl.

Ravenwood, Nessarose Thea.

Catherine looked down the child in the last crib. Nessarose Thea Ravenwood. The baby was small, even for a newborn. There was a fuzz of red brown hair on her head already, and she had fair skin. Catherine reached into the bag she carried, pulling out an aqua blanket. Gently, she picked up the child and wrapped her in it.

Catherine slipped out, Nessarose Ravenwood in her arms.

She had done what she needed to do.

-W-M-W-M-

Doctor Alissa Lyle was not excited to bring the news to this new mother. But, what could she do? A child, kidnapped from the crib.

She walked into the room of the mother, looking sad and grim. "Miss Ravenwood?"

"Yes?" The young mother looked up. She was only sixteen, so young to be having a child. "What's wrong, Doctor?"

"I have very bad… very upsetting news." Doctor Lyle looked down. "Your daughter, she… she was kidnapped. I'm so very sorry, Miss Ravenwood."

Alissa Lyle had never heard such a heartbreaking noise in her life until now.

The weeping moan of a grieving mother.

I just realized, the first chapter of any of my stories is terrible. xD

Review please!
