This is teaser for an upcoming characterA Story by Raylene
I was crushing up some rosemary to give to the day coming by at noon.
I heard the children upstairs playing; some even came down to run around my feet . I heard a knock at my door I looked up as the two children wrestling in the den froze "William , George you two go on upstairs." The two boys nodded as they knew better to be around for a customer. I brushed off my gown, as I tried to keep the shin on the gowns I got as gifts. I opened the door too see a young woman holding something in a basket, I cursed as she wore the dressing of the clergy . "Madame Hesperia?" I crossed my arms "Who is asking?" The young woman clearly new to the system shook "The head priest told me to drop off this child here." I smiled "Did ya just join pass?" The girl nodded "My name is Judith" I sighed as I looked in the basket and yelled up the stairs "June, Rose, Violet, Meadow!" The girls soon already running down the stairs "Yes momma?" June the eldest in the house looked at the basket "What is the story behind the baby?" I smiled "Girls , this is sister Judith our new delivery lass. You four take the young one upstairs and get it bathed." Meadow jumped out of the group "Oh I hope it is another; troll baby they are soon adorable!" June took the child as the others cooed at the new arrival. The nun looked at me "I was told you prostitute yourself to afford these children?" I scoffed "Niegh lass I sell magic to folks who want that extra something." The nun let out a sigh of relief "Did the Preist tell you anything about the child ?" I asked to see what she knew The nun thought "I believe the child is half Faye yet we do not know of which race. The boy was left with us last night and bit one of the sister so the priest sent him here." I was confused "It looked like a girl to me." The nun smiled "Really I am just guessing the child would not hold still for us to even cloth him." I sighed knowing what I had on my hands "Was the child left with a name?" The nun shook her head "I shall name her Hazel then." The nun smiled as I closed the door behind me knowing; the new addition to be a fawn child as babies you can not tell gender unless you bath them. I heard the screams of the girls trying to wash off the new baby. "Will you hold still Poppy?!" I heard the girls yell I guess my name would have to be a middle name as the girls would call her that from now on. © 2016 Raylene |
