"NO!" Skye woke with a start. She lay there on the cold stone floor thinking about her nightmare with silent tears streaming from the corners of her eyes. The dirty alley in which she had been sleeping seemed even darker at that moment than it usually was.
Keeping in mind that she had to go visit her daughter again the next day, she tried to force herself into another fitful sleep.
…-.-…
Life had settled into a somewhat normal routine a week later for the couple. Having Skye in the family was extremely entertaining and a lot of hard work. Another member in the house also came with more responsibility. They always had to be on the lookout for Skye, just in case; after all, the house wasn't baby-proof.
Not to mention the fact that they had to be up half the night if she started screaming. It was impossible to sleep through the racket she caused no matter how hard they tried. She had quite talented vocals. Maybe she was a future singer.
Some problems that they hadn't seen coming up were their careers and how they were going to manage Skye during their work times. Cody could still work from home, doing her articles, but she had to go out sometimes for her photography and research whereas Squib's tennis could not be played at home at all.
DING DONG!
"Squib. Can you get the door please?" Cody shouted from the bathroom where she was bathing Skye.
A minute later, he was in the washroom holding a white envelope.
Cody took one look at the envelope and knew who it was from. "Read it out loud."
Things have gotten complicated so I don't think I will be able to contact you again anytime soon. That's all I can say for now. Keep my Skye safe. Don't let her out of your sight!
"That's it?" Cody asked.
"Yeah. I think she wrote it in a rush."
"This is just getting weirder by the day. Who is Skye?"
They looked at the gurgling baby in the tub and wondered: who is Skye?
…-.-…
There was a pain in her side suddenly. Someone was kicking her.
"Get up bitch!" they shouted and kicked her again.
Oh no! They've found me!
She tried to get up but she kicked her back down.
"Gona try and run away again? No, that won't be happening again. This time, there is no escape," he growled out before closing in on her.
No one heard her cry for help.
…-.-…
Sorry for the long time. Now there's a little suspense too. Review!
