Moonlight filtered in through a crack in the curtains. The light illuminates the contorted face of a young girl. Her expression doesn't show the normal peace that came with sleeping. She looked distressed as if she was in pain. Her petite form struggles against an unforeseen captor. A pale hand clutches the blankets against her heaving chest. Her eyes snap open and a shaky hand came up to brush her hair out of the way.
Slowly she sits up cautiously looking around her dark room. The objects that usually bring her comfort now giving her the feeling of unease. Rubbing her eyes slightly she once again brushes her hair away from her flushed face. Her hands come up and expertly pull her hair back into a loose pony tail.
Her eyes glaze over as her mind mulls over the events of her dream. With a harsh intake of air she snaps back to reality. Reaching over to the table next to her she fumbles for her phone knocking it off the table. It bounces against the wooden flooring echoing loudly in the silence of night.
A shrill cry causes her to flinch and she swings her legs onto the floor. As her feet adjust to the feeling of the cool floor she stands and walks to the small wooden crib in the corner. Reaching down she scoops up to cradle the baby boy in her arms.
"Aww honey it's okay, I didn't mean to wake you up." Her voice is soft. His chubby fist locks onto her shirt and he scrunches his face.
