Docks (??? World)

Waves whisper outside. A small wooden room, one door that creaks when she opens it.

Smoke, ash, charred wood. Bars.

Horrified fascination brings her closer to the cage. The crusted black bars remind her of a restaurant grill, and her mind flips back to the clippings the town has given her. She shudders, and looks around quickly.

She's alone, for now.

A spot of off-white grabs her gaze. Something crumpled on the cage's floor. She only gives the open door a brief thought before reaching through the bars instead.



Her mind wants to make some connection, but the visuals aren't strong enough. Something... familiar...

The floor creaks behind her. Amber spins, gun ready.

Terror

Horror

Adrenaline

Rage

She's still fighting, struggling, twisting, trying somehow to hurt this woman.

Her head .

Amber goes limp.

Johnny steps out from the building, then kneels, gently and reverently scooping Amber up.

"Is she okay, Mama?"

"Of course, child. It's close to her time, and her flesh is weakening. Once we've completed the ritual, she'll be strong enough to bear God."

She turns and leads him up the docks, onto a forested island (http://hollow-way.livejournal.com/6050.html).
