Back at the Keep, Colin (lil soulhunter) lays in
his crib looking up at the ceiling and all the pretty
colors. He begins to cry. "Waaaaaaaaa....Waaaaaaaa!!!"
Lil Soul is hungry. Suddenly, he hears footsteps
coming and he settles down just a bit. 'Oh boy, Mommy is
coming! Mommy is coming!' he thinks to himself. When the
Nanny's face appears above his crib instead of his
mommy's Colin gets scared and cries even
louder.
The nanny pics him up and tries to comfort the child.
"It's ok Master Colin, Mommy will be home soon. In the
meantime, lets feed you." She pull out a small boda bag
filled with fresh goats milk, and a small nipple
attached to the top. She lays Colin back, cradling him in
her arms and begins to feed him.
No matter
that Colin eats hungrily, he still wishes his mommy
was home and holding him. He misses her touch, her
smell, and most of all her soothing voice. He looks up
at the nanny as he eats, little tears still in his
eyes. The Nanny notices the tears and still tries to
sooth him. "Don't worry little Master. Your mommy and
daddy will be home soon, and all will be ok again. I
just hope that Lady Mystique sees what good care we
are taking of you. I really don't want to feel that
woman's wrath." The nanny shudders alittle.
At
hearing Mystique's name Lil Soul smiles behind the
nipple. He likes Mystique, she is very pretty and takes
such good care of him. He seems to like when everyone
seems to tremble in her presance. He can't wait to see
her again as well.
He slowly drifts off to
sleep, thinking of Myst. Then his mind drifts back to
his mommy and daddy. How he wishes they were home.
How he misses the soft, gentle voice and touch of his
mommy and the strong, yet caring voice and touch of his
daddy. He longs for the times of bouncing on daddy's
leg.
His dreams are filled with happy thoughts.
As Colin drifs off to sleep and finishes eating, the
nanny carefully changes his nappy and lays him back
down into his crib, tucking the blankets all around
him. She leans down and gently kisses his forehead,
"Sweet dreams little Master. Everyone will be home safe
and sound very soon." She then turns and stokes the
fire in the fireplace to keep the room warm. She walks
out of the room and goes back to the kitchen to clean
the boda and get it ready for the next feeding.
