Forever is Forever

 How long does forever mean? Well no one ever wrote down a certain time that represents it, It is just the word forever no time but all the time in the universe.                                                             

 

James was asleep when I slipped out of bed and went to find the kitchen to cook breakfast. The house was so huge and if I were to take a wrong turn I would fall to a dead end.

 

   James sleep through the time I cooked for me, but when I went to get him up he was gone. I thought he went to get HIS breakfast so I went down stairs. I looked at the giant Grandfather clock in the back of the dinning room it sounded like it was beating with my heart. I stood up to look at it closer when James walked in the room.

 

“Good morning beautiful, how did you sleep?” James asked as he removed his blood-spattered shirt.

 

“After that dream I slept like a baby.”

 

“Did you eat yet?” James walked over to me and put his arm around me.

 

“Yes I woke up just after you left I guess and made me something.” Something in his eyes made my feel out of place.

 

“What’s wrong James?”

 

He stared off in to space for a minute then looked in my eyes.

 

“Maredith when I was out hunting I heard a baby cry.” I thought he meant an animal or something.

 

 “Maredith it was a human baby it was lying on the ground just crying so…” James looked at me and I knew what he was about to tell me.

 

 “Maredith I couldn’t just leave it there so I brought it here.

 

He went out of the room for about three seconds and returned with a baby girl. I looked at her, she was beautiful and I knew I had to keep her.

 

“James what if this is someone’s baby that they left in the woods for awhile?” She looked at me and smiled like she knew me.

 

“Maredith she looks like you, Brown hair and eyes and she has a face like me people might think she is ours.” James and I where thinking the same thing.

 

“James we have to keep her, we’ll hide her from other people for awhile. Then start going around with her to places and people might belie us when we tell them she is ours.”James had her in his arms but she started to cry so he handed her to me. The second she was in my arms my visions started to act up; I was in an ally with this baby but I looked older and the baby younger maybe only a week old, I was talking about sending her back to the time now and maybe I could save James then I ran with her but I called her by a name, it was pretty, Edith-Lynn.

 

“Maredith, Maredith what happened are you alright?” I looked at James he was holding Edith-Lynn

 

“Edith-Lynn.” I called out warily
