Merlin!
In a quiet street, in a quiet village a sound of a woman is heard screaming, begging for help. No one see's to it as the village is small and poor, but small children who are on the streets listen and pray that the screaming stops soon and whoever is screaming are at peace. Only the adults of the village know that the screaming is coming from the work house a vile old building situated at the top of the hill with iron gates to keep the orphans inside. The village never sees or hears the orphans, the only children they see are the ones that are at peace and their bodies are pulled away in the funeral carts with the pretend mourners following to the over crowded churchyards.
Now within the walls of the workhouse a small fragile women lay on a small thin mattress she had beautiful black air that was covered in sweat, her feet had blisters on them from the walking she had done. Earlier in the day she had walked into the village and had collapsed in the square. The villagers quickly scooped her up and took her to the workhouse they could see she was with child and that it was on its way. The woman was being cared for by a surgeon and a old women. Both of them kept telling the women to push with all her strength she had left. Eventually after three minutes a child was born he was small and had bright blue eyes just like the blue sky that was seen on a bright sunny day and small ruffles of black hair that was black as the coal that was by the stove.
"Congratulations it's a boy."The surgeon said taking the small child away to be cleaned up. The old women hovered over the bedside.
"well done child"
she said and walked over to inspect the child. "he's a healthy looking boy."
The women in the bed was breathing lightly she feebly raised her face from the pillow and said
"let me see my child and then I can die."
You musn't talk about death yet. Said the surgeon handing the women her new born child and then leaving her and walking to sit with the old women in the corner.
"my son you will be the greatest perso anyone will be proud of. You will make me proud. I love you"
with those last few words the women layed her head down and took her last breath. Immediately the child began to cry out for food which made both the old women and the surgeon race to the bedside. The surgeon checked for a pulse but there was nothing he scooped up the child and handed him to the old women.
It's over, she's gone"
"ah, poor dear so it is" she aid taking a sip from a green bottle which she kept in her pocket. "poor child a life without a mother"
"you needn't bother sending him up to me if he cries, it's very likely he will troublesome. Give him a little gruel if he gets hungry" with that the surgeon put on his hat and gloves. Before leaving he looked to the young women and said.
"she was a good looking girl, where did she come from"
"she was brought here this morning, she collapsed in the village. She must have been walking for quiet some time as her shoes were ripped to shreds, but where she's from nobody knows and will know"
"just as I thought the old story, she has no wedding ring or no identity, well I bid you goodnight."
The surgeon walked out leaving te child in the hands of the women, before she started caring for the child she took another sip out of her bottle then proceeded to dress the infant wrapping him up in a blanket.
"I wonder what they'll call you when they see you young child and what will become of you"
Little did she know that he will be called Merlin and will go on to great things and will find a family who will love him and care for him.
