As Serenity rounded the corner, she saw her salvation. It wasn't like she was actively looking for it, but is just seemed to show up when she needed it the most. The small sign was hard to see in the darkness, but for some reason, tonight it seemed to glow, as if to make it more visible. Serentiy smiled in relief and headed of to the door that was marked "Shelter" and walk in.
"Hello..." Serenity's voice was barely audible and the front door secretary barely heard her. "Hello dear... do you need a place to stay?" the woman's voice was kinda and gentle. Serenity nodded and smiled slightly. "Yes.. please.. and some food to if that is alright.. my daughter hasn't eaten in days... and she is really sick... please if you can help her...." Serenity's voice trailed off and she looked down at the small limp body of her daughter, Harmony. The Woman leaned over the counter and peered down at the small girl. "Dear Lord!" She came around the counter for a better look at the child. "This little girl is close to death!... she need's medical attention!" the woman called over to another man, and he came running. "Don't Worry hunny.... we have a clinic here with a doctor... your child will be fine... we'll just take a look at her..." The woman bent down to take Harmony out of the stroller and Serenity's eyes flashed feral, She growled. "DON'T TOUCH HER! She growled and moved closer to the woman. "I will take her!" The woman had fear plastered on her pale face, all she could do is nod and lead the way.
Later that Night...
Harmony has been given fluids through an IV Drip, Serenity was spoon feeding her Chicken broth when ever the toddler regained conscienous. Serenity never left her daughter's side and would become very agitated when someone came near her. Finally after not sleeping for 3 days strait, Serenity feel into a fitful rest, her head on the bed that her daughter was sleeping in... that's when something happened.....
Serenity was sleeping when the vision, if that's what it was, came to her. She could see the men in black coats fighting with two young women, one looked younger than the other. She watched as the two women knocked all of the men down quickly then start to turn on each other, until the older girl some how made the other relax by flashing her eyes yellow, an act that was all too familiar to Serenity. *they are like me!* her mind was filled with relief as she watched the two woman walk off together. *wait! Wait for me!* she mentally called after them, then promptly shot up off the bed.
"What was that.." She said to herself as she stretched.
Harmony stirred in the bed in front of her but fell back asleep. "Don't worry sweetheart.... I know what to do now.." she whispered into her daughter's hair as she kissed her and went to find something to eat.
