Silent N i g h t
As silent as the lurkingd e m o n s . . .
Night sat quietly on the old abandonned mansion porch. Then her cat, Shadow walked by her leg and purred. Night smiled slightly. The only person, no thing in the world that could make her come close to a smile was Shadow, the night sky, and roses. Then, the sound of the large old town bell rang disturbing her train of thought. Night looked up seeing it was almost night time and she got up and brushed the dirt off her skirt. It had been nearly fourteen years since she had moved into the streets, and found Shadow. Night walked down to the town to search for some scraps of food for Shadow. Then they stumbled upon an old cherry blossom tree that was still alive. Weird, it the middle of winter and it's still alive...I wonder if... Then Night placed her hand gently on the old tree and felt a spirit within the tree. Then Shadow jumped on the tree branch and said, "So, it's a spirit trapped within it keeping the tree alive 'til now." Night nodded slightly and walked off again. Shadow jumped from the tree and followed right behind her.
