October 29 1810
Jackson walked through the forest of Burgess, kicking a rock. He smiled as he hummed a small song, the moon shining on the dirt road he walked along, making it glisten. Jackson loved the night life really, it put his mind and body at ease. He looked up as he saw a owl flying away. He called the forest his home for now because he really didn't have a home. He slept in caves or trees for the most part but he didn't mind, it was quite comfortable. Heck he would even sleep on the snowy ground. Soon, humming turned to singing.
"Well, I know the feeling
Of finding yourself stuck out on the ledge
And there ain't no healing
From cutting yourself with the jagged edge
I'm telling you that, it's never that bad
Take it from someone who's been where you're at
Laid out on the floor
And you're not sure you can take this anymore"
Jackson twirled his staff, jumping on a tree branch as he closed his eyes. He was now at ease. Music always calmed him,began but mostly lullabies. Jackson jumped to another branch, looking over the forest. He smiled as he saw a mother bear and her 2 cubs. He watched a deer run by.
"Please let me take you
Out of the darkness and into the light
'Cause I have faith in you
That you're gonna make it through another night
Stop thinking about the easy way out
There's no need to go and blow the candle out
Because you're not done
You're far too young
And the best is yet to come"
Jackson ran across the branch, coating it with frost and smiled. He continued singing happily. He looked down as he continued the song, leaning against the tree and looking down at his feet and closed his eyes.
"Well, everybody's hit the bottom
Everybody's been forgotten
When everybody's tired of being alone
Yeah, everybody's been abandoned
And left a little empty handed
So if you're out there barely hanging on..."
Jackson opened his eyes and walked off the branch. the wind caught him and lifted him up in the air and Jackson smiled happily. He flew to the village of Burgess and walking along a roof, smiling as he saw the boy from earlier. Jackson now knew that everybody called him Jack and the little girl Emma.
"If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And if you can't tell, I'm scared as hell
'So just close your eyes
Oh, honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby
Oh, honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby"
Jackson sat on the roof and smiled as he watched the two.
"Hey Jack, bet you can't beat me at hopscotch!" Emma declared
Jack smirked "oh your on little sis, I can beat you anytime"
"Prove it!" She said
Jack smirked as he picked up a rock and tossed it. He began to play hopscotch with his sister, laughing and smiling. Jackson smiled as he watched them and laid down, soon falling asleep
