Hello Everyone! This is a short chapter I know but I've got to get to class! If I have time tonight I'll post a second chapter!
~Disclaimer: I own nothing...and this includes the song "No One Is Alone" From the musical Into the Woods!
Esarosa was frightened, the men kept yelling at them. She was the oldest there, her being four minutes older than Inali and the children huddled around her terrified. Kamau had yet to leave her side and Inali was never to far off, the bad men had found him following and had hit him before putting him with the rest of them. They were sleeping right now, all but her and the warriors. Kamau was in her lap and Inali lay by her side. She felt Raven enter her mind moments before and leave it just as quickly. She knew that Raven was coming and she wouldn't sleep until Raven was here.
'Let me in my little wolf, we are watching you and I must use your voice' Raven's voice flooded into her mind and she willed herself to be calm, just as Raven had taught her when her powers came in.
'I'm scared, Raven, I want Momma' Esarosa thought fear seeping through the bond 'These men are scarier than the demons, they say things, mean things, they hurt us, was the witch wrong Raven, she said we'd be happy? We are all alone Raven, I'm scared'
'Shh, my little wolf, let me sing, you'll feel better' Raven soothed as Esarosa's eyes began to glow gold.
"Mother cannot guide you. Now you're on your own. Only me beside you. Still, you're not alone. No one is alone. Truly. No one is alone. Sometimes people leave you. Halfway through the journey. Others may deceive you. You decide what's good. You decide alone. But no one is alone." Raven's voice flowed through Esarosa and out of her mouth as Raven's powers spread out through the camp, causing everyone to get drowsy "I know, Mother isn't here now, Wrong things, right things, Who knows what she'd say? Who can say what's true? Nothings quite so clear now. Do things, fight things, Feel you've lost your way, you decide, but, you are not alone, Believe me, No one is alone, No one is alone."
"You move just a finger, Say the slightest word, Something's bound to linger, be heard, No acts alone. Careful. No one is alone." Raven sang softly through Esarosa
The warriors listened to her song as she sang, the lyrics seemed to be encouraging and uplifting "People make mistakes. Fathers, Mothers, People make mistakes, holding to their own, Thinking their alone. Honor their mistakes, everybody makes, Fight for their mistakes"
"One another's terrible mistakes. Witches can be right, Demons can be good. You decide what's right you decide what's good" They turned to her wondering if she was a demon or a witch or either. "Just remember: Someone is on your side, our side-, someone else is not, While we're seeing our side, Maybe we forgot: they are not alone. No one is alone."
"Hard to see the light now. Just don't let it go; Things will come out right now. We can make it so. Someone is on your side" Raven sang as she landed and looked at them.
"Hebu hoja nje (Let's move out!)" Gar said as they moved stealthily into the camp, Raven was instantly freeing the children with Ajani and Gar on either side of her. The other warriors quickly took care of the other children.
"Raven" Esarosa called running into her arms, Raven looked her over, inspecting her for injury. Once she was satisfied that Esarosa was unharmed outside of a few scrapes she turned to Inali. The little boy several bruises and cuts, she hugged him gently, whispering words of comfort as he clung to her. They had really beat him and she was not about to let him get hurt again. Ajani scooped up Kamau and held him tightly. The little boy clung to his father afraid to let go. Ajani looked over at his friend, his brother and saw that he had not taken his eyes off Raven as she comforted the children who huddled around her
