No one could not talk as a white light blinded them. In front of them was a young lady, hair a stormy gray color. She had watery skin texture, and lightning colored eyes. She had a soaking shirt and black skinny jeans, colored like black-gray clouds in a strong storm. Her hands her covered in claws, as were her toes. Only Jack knew her. The Storm Harpy,Gal.
She looked at Jack, who shrank back in Aiko and Clara's arms. The older spirits (Aiko:older by 212 years. Clara:older by103 years) held him lovingly as a mother would. Storm looked at a couch and flew with her wings and sat on the arm rester. Another memory started
Jack is 5
Once again, Jack was forced ut of his house. Every winter, where the wind was cold enough to give eternal frostbite, he was forced out of his home. His nose was covered in cold red as Jackson was heard with his new step-mom.
Jack shivered as he walked, barefoot, towards the well, where Aiko was there, reading a book. Over the past two years, Jack and Aiko had gotten along so well. When she heard the faint crunching of snow, she turned to say were usual greeting, but paused, seeing him.
Jack was deathly pale and his face was flushed red. She set a bookmark in her book and set it in her basket. The blanket she had around her shoulders was removed and set around his shoulders. He could hardly register it as he closed his eyes. The basket fell to the snow, as did the two kids, as Jack was hugged with Aiko, his body looking for her body heat, as well as the blanket.
Aiko held him close as her mother came out, looking for her. She saw her daughter by the well as usual, but instead of talking to Jack, Aiko was holding Jack close to her. She rushed towards them, seting the lantern down next to them. Aiko looked up at her mother.
Her mother, named Saeiko, looked down at Jack. He had gotten a little worse. He was too pale as his face was furiously red, along with most of his body where heat was directed the most. Saeiko picked up Jack as Aiko grabbed the lantern and her basket. She followed her mother into her warm home.
Tooth looked at Jack, who was cuddled against Aiko, almost asleep. She fluttered silently towards them as Aiko looked up at her.
"What was his sickness?"
Aiko looked through her memories, trying to remember what it was. Finally she remembered.
"Hypothermia." One of the rarest and deadliest fevers is what causes less populaiton in her and Jack's times.
Tooth was shocked.
Saeiko let Aiko put Jack on her bed as she prepared to sing. Aiko slept on the extra matress on the floor as she snuggled in. Jack, who was still a little awake, wasnt prepared for the soft voice, singing in a language.
"nen-nen yo okororiyo suya-suya to oyasuminasai
nen-nen yo okororiyo yasashi hito ni sodachimasu you ni
kami-sama arigatou, enjeru (angel) mo arigatou
nen-nen yo okororiyo mama no mune de oyasuminasai"
"nen-nen yo okororiyo suya-suya to oyasuminasai
nen-nen yo okororiyo uruseru hito ni sodachimasu youni
kami-sama arigatou derai wo arigatou
nen-nen yo okororiyo mama no mune de oyasuminasai"
The memory ended when Jack fell asleep.
The girls were in a fit of adorableness, before North and Blaze shushed them and pointed to a trio at the side.
After all these years, the lullaby still had it's affect on Aiko and Jack, and even on Baby Tooth and Clara, as they were all snuggled up against each other. Tooth and Lily smiled at the adorable sight, while Blaze and Rose smiled from the way to get Jack to sleep.
Yes, they were going to treat him different. They all knew Jack had troubles sleeping, so they were going to learn this song somehow and help him sleep.
Aiko and Jack smiled in their sleep, remembering the lullaby on how they slept. Baby Tooth was snuggled in the crook of Jack's neck and Clara with her head resting on Jack's.
Clara didn't share a childhood high Jack. I will be posting a short story on her past.
