I landed in a dark room
with an incredible thud. I heard a baby cry and I instantly knew it
as my Amanda. The person who grabbed me seemed to be gone so I rushed
towards the cry. There she lay, in a small cot, my tiny little one
year old daughter. I scooped her into my arms and whispered quietly
to her, rocking her back and forth.
"Hush little
baby...Mommy's here now...Mommy's here..."
I stood with my baby
for a long time, just holding her.
"Mama...,"
She
nuzzled into the soft material of my dress, and it was only then that
I remembered what I was supposed to be doing.
I slumped to the
floor clutching Amanda close and wept.
"Ma ma...No cry,"
she whispered
"No...I just want to go home baby,"
"We
see...Dada...Soon..." she mumbled the closed her eyes.
"Sleeping babes in
the wood," a voice muttered
"Who's that!"
"Sleeping baby girl,"
"Stay away from me!"
"Sleeping little darling,"
It was getting closer
"STAY AWAY!"
"Sleeping dead and cold,"
the voice came out of the darkness.
"No...No...Its not...its
not...," I gulped seeing the person, my eyes filling with fear.
