Thump Thump Thump. The sound of a beating heart. A calm beating heart, which knows no fear no trace of despair. A heart embracing death a harsh and painful death. Flames engulfs the lone figure on the ivory wood. Then silence, no more thump.
The cries of a new born fill the room the hurrying footsteps of nurses eager footsteps echo in the room. Tears of joy fills the new born mother's eyes as she beholds the sight of her beloved baby girl.
And as the last tear is shed so is the last breath.
"Are you sure it's mine?" says the young man. " One look at her and you will know she is yours"
The young man was hesitant. He walked over to the cradle and saw the large gold eyes staring right at him " she has her eyes," says the young man to his friend. "She's mine isn't she?" One look at the baby and the young man knows. Deep down he always knew Ameera would never betray him.
He takes the baby in his arms " Careful," his friend says with a smug look. Takato knew this baby was going to be trouble, and he was not going to give up his life for this child. He signs the discharge forms. Out he goes into the world, this beautiful yet wicked world with his child. A child who will redefine history.
