Erik's POV "It's late Kelsey. Time to go to bed. Say goodnight to mother" I said as Kelsey yawned. "Good night mother"Kelsey said to Christine. "Good night Kelsey. Sweet dreams." Kelsey hugged Christine and ran to her room. I kissed Christine on the cheek, and she vanished. I walked to Kelsey's room. She was in her pajamas already! I was shocked. How long did it take? Well, she does wear a nightgown, so she only has to slip it on over her head. I walked into the room. I snuck up on my daughter and picked her up. She did a little yelp and was giggling when she found out it was me. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I layed her down on her bed. I pulled the covers over her and put her stuffed animals in place. I kissed her on her cheek. She then planted a kiss on my deformed face. It felt heavenly on my face. I smiled at her as she snuggled within the covers. I was about to blow out the candle, when Kelsey said, "Father, can you sing to me? Mother sang me to sleep."
"Of course my little Angel of Music." I sang so heavenly. I gave it all I had:
Night time sharpens
heightens each sensation
darkness stirs,
and wakes imagination
silently the senses,
abandon their defences
slowly, gently,
night unfurls its splendor
grasp it, sense it,
tremulous and tender
turn your face away
from the garish light of day
turn your thoughts away from cold unfeeling light
and listen to the music of the night
close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
purge your thoughts of the life you knew before
close your eyes,
let your spirit start to soar
and you'll live, as you've never lived before
softly, deftly, music shall caress you
hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
open up your mind
let your fantasies unwind
in this darkness that you know you cannot fight
the darkness of the music of the night
let your mind start a journey through a strange new world
leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
let your soul take you where you long to be
only then, can you belong to me
floating, falling, sweet intoxication
touch me, trust me
savor each sensation
let the dream begin
let your darker side give in
to the power of the music that I write
the power of the music of the night
Kelsey slowly closed her eyes. I kissed her on the forehead, blew out the candle, and went to bed. Now, we have a family; Christine,Kelsey, and I. I loved my girls very much; almost more than music, but what I loved even more was being with my family.
