Story ... Chapter 1
“Never tell tales of what you don’t know or understand, because the monsters might be the ones who keep you safe”


The rain poured down as if the heavens where crying. Tess sat staring at the door waiting for it to open and her mother be there with moor wood to fight away the cold that was creeping in. but the young girl new that her mother was never coming back, for she was dead and in a different world, safe from this horror she sat in. the smell of blood, rain, fear, and death was enough to make one sick, but it was worse when the beast came around the second time to kill. Tess heard the Screams come from out side as she lay in her little pool of blood, her dear friend May screamed as she was torn apart but the monster out side…

Tess woke up in a sweet, cold and shivering in the cool night. She sat up in the darkness and stared at the room she was asleep in, the other beds where full of sleeping children, who where salves, lost, or orphaned, or just simply not wanted. Tess looked over at the clock on the wall with its yellow numbering and saw that it was only 2:44. She through about getting up and starting early on the chores she was assigned for taking up a useful bed, where any other person would be grateful to have in her position. Tess was 7 and she new what hell was all ready, and these people here had no idea what it was and she was willing to let someone else have this bed. Shed rather sleep in the barn with the cattle, horses and dogs. It smelled better out there then it did in this room that was over stuffed with human bodies. The room was in lines with beds that where 3 high, and where there was hanging room there where cots hanging from the ceiling.
She laid there in the bed looking at the bottom of the bunk that was above hers, she slid her feet on to the cold wood floor, a small shiver ran up her spine as she walked across it, and grabbed her clothes of her chair. They where considered boy clothing but there where no more dresses, or none that her lanky body would fit in. she slipped in to the breeches and the white shirt… it was now a grayish white now from a lot of use, her socks had holes in them. the boots where the best part, a soft leather that had many uses before she had gotten them, old but still useable, they still kept out the rocks and water and sand, and they fit just right not to big and not to small. Tess smiled a little as she slipped them on and tied them up; she brained her hair and tided it with a small piece of fabric that she had found one day when she was cleaning in the sowing room. And with that she turned and left the over crowed room and its occupants asleep.

Tess quietly walked by 6 other doors and down 2 flights of stairs, when she came to the bottom she took a left in to the kitchen and took an apple and out the door she went. The air had a bit to it as it did most the time in October, the light from the sun was not yet coming up and the moon was not quite out of sight just yet. Tess moved across the yard in a stealthy movement and slowly slid the barn door open, the dogs rose to meet her there. She lit a match and put light in to the lanterns by ever stall and door. The smile slipped in to place as she started mucking out the horse stalls. Everyone had water and some new hay to munch on, grain would come a little later when others where up. This was the best time in the day, not light but not dark and not a soul to really bother her as she tried to out run sleep and bad dreams.
