Guys im so sorry for the long wait. but nevertheless, here it is, chapter 8. please review. it gives me inspiration to continue!...lol.
Though a new morning dared to dawn, the night reigned over the plateau with silent darkness engulfing it. Yet in this peace, there lay awake one little heart filled with fear and sadness. Jewel lay wide awake in her bed with eyes wide open. Not completely understanding, yet not completely misinterpreting the jeopardy that had so recently found its way into her life, Jewel lay with a cover of fear around her. Letting a single tear of despair drop from her small cheek, jewel stripped her herself of her sheets and crawled down from her bed. With feet planted on the ground jewel made her way down to that realm of tragedy.
Tiptoeing her way down the stairs, her small frame was outlined by the glow of the night. She paused as she finally approached her destination. She stood trembling in full contemplation. Turning the knob of the door , she let go of her fear, and pushed forth her courage as she opened the door and walked into the room. She stood still for a second taking in the sight that lay before her. Her father, ill upon the bed, barely breathing with her ever so loyal mother sleeping right by his side in the rocking chair. Swallowing a wad of her fear down, she made her way closer to her father' s side.
"Daddy." she called barely above a whisper as she stood by his side.
"Daddy,…I know you cant hear me. Grandpa told me it was a cause your sick. But daddy," she said focusing her little face in his, " I know your strong, I know you'll get better and come back to play with me and mummy. When you left the other day mummy gave me her necklace to make me feel better, …………maybe,… maybe it could make you feel better too daddy." she said looking deep in to his closed eyes. With that she took off the necklace and opened his hand gently and placed it in his palm. Then curling his fingers back into a fist with her small ones, she took his hand and placed it back upon his chest and kissed him on his forehead.
"I love you daddy."
And with that she took a breath of hope and alleviated her heart of the fear and sadness that had so easily found its way there. But before her exit she turned and looked back, and as contentment filled her little heart, she smiled. Then with a peace of mind she yawned, and let sleepiness guide her back to her room.
