Disclaimer: not my, all hail joss :bows:

AN: the revised version of chapter one, now betaed by the amazing :drumrole: KarmaWiccan! she's wonderful people, sorted through all my mess of bad grammer and miss spelled words to present you this!

It's coming! It's coming! Running faster, faster, faster.

Run catch; run catch; the lamb is caught in the blackberry patch.

Watch out little lamb: the tiger comes-- eyes like needles... Run! Run! The
Strong Girl sits like a queen on a pile of hearts. No more now, not my
William, too.

No more biting. Snap. Snap. Mean old solider came; now my Spike can't play
with the other puppies. But don't worry, my Spike. Little toy soldiers all
in a row. Mummy will take care of it, and make it all better.

Daddy screams. I'll open the cage, and we'll be family again. The little
light flies away. No more trees to save it now-- all gone.

Grandmother fell. Ashes all over; no more coming back; ashes falling on my
new dress.
The tea and honey are spoiled. No more parties. Not yet.

Shhh, Miss Edith, Daddy will be home soon. Shhhh. The tiger comes with eyes
like needles. Shhhh. Daddy will be home soon, and we'll get you a new dress
for the party. You like parties don't you, Miss Edith? We'll have some soon.

Don't cry. Daddy's coming and it will all be better soon.

Shhhhhhhhhhh

AN: read and review please!
