Hal took her hand it was so warm and smooth, his mother's hands had always been ruff and cold with dirt under the fingernails. She then guided him out the door and alone the cobbled street. This must be a dream Hal though this lady is far to beautiful and kind to take interest in him any minuet now he wake up to the sounds a screaming and men shouting and his stale bread, but at this moment he was walking down the road with an angle and the truth was he never wanted to wake up.

She pushed open the door and Hal was meet by a wave of warm air the lights were dim and the sound of people talking softly made Hal relax but still he did not let go of the tight grip he had on the ladies hand. She strode over to the counter, ignoring the looks form the men his mothers told him ment money.

"what would you like ma'm?"

"well" she breathed dropping down on to her knees so her face was level with Hal's "what would you like?" she purred

"I don't know" Hal gasped

"you don't know?" she laughed again

"well I'm sure I can choose something nice for you" her face was so close to Hal's now that her could feel her cold breath on his face.

"one beef pie" she said snapping up to the mans height, talking the plat she guide Hal over to a small table in the window of the café. One it stood a single white candle with wax dripping down its sides and on to the table Placing the pie down in front of Hal

"tuck in" she said taking a sit opposite him

The pie tasted like nothing Hal had even eaten before the rich sauce dribbled down his chin the pastry was soft and the meat was tender.

"I see you enjoyed that" she said laughing a she lent over to whip his mouth, "you're a very lovely boy Harry and you'll become a very lovely man too" she said smiling at him then her faced dropped

"I need to go now" looking down at her hands "why ?" Hal voice broke and he could feel the painful stink of tears in the back off his eyes

"awh, sweetie" she said standing up and extending her hand again "lets get you home"

Hal dragged his feet how ever long it would take to get home wouldn't be long enough, a far to soon the door on the brother came into view and Hal began to cry

"now,now" the lady said dropping on the her knees and whipping Hal's eyes away with a cloth she pulled out from her corset.

"we'll meet again Harry I can promise you that but when your must bigger when you're a man"

"do you promise?"

"of course and I never break my promises" she said smiling again pulling a necklace from around her neck she placed it in Hal's hand he looked down and saw it was silver crescent moon with a smiling face

"why don't you look after that for me? And ill come back to get it one day"

With that she ruffled his hair and Hal trough his hands around her waited her the soft dress tightly.
