Chapter 3
We arrived in a small town outside of the kou empire "so what was your name?" Judar asked "Clover" I said "any last name" he asked "hmm" I thought for a moment but I couldn't remember my last name "no sorry" I said he nodded "no big deal" Judar said as we walked through the town. I looked over to see a woman with a baby in her hands "please child go to sleep" she said humming to her baby, I walked over to the woman "HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING" Judar yelled "shh you'll make the baby more mad" I said stopping as I got to the woman "tch" Judar looked away annoyed "excuse me ms but could I try to get her to sleep" I asked the woman "thank you young lady" the woman said handing me the baby, I sat down besides the woman I started humming a lullaby "hush-a-by, don't you cry, go to sleepy little baby. When you wake, you shall have, all the pretty little houses. Black and bays, dapples and greys, go to sleepy little baby. Hush-a-by, don't you cry, go to sleepy little baby. Hush-a-by, don't you cry, go to sleepy little baby. When you wake, you shall have all the pretty little houses" I singed the song as the baby was finally asleep "thank you so much ms" the woman said as I handed her, her baby girl "you're welcome" I said getting up and walking towards Judar.
We walked for a bit before Judar finally asked me what was on his mind the whole time "how can you sing like that" he asked "my mother taught me when my sisters were born... At night they couldn't sleep so I would sing to them" I said he nodded. We got to the Kou's palace, as we walked down the halls I couldn't help but have a memory of the night I died "hey Clover" I heard Judar said as he hit my arm "WHAT IM FINE" I yelled in his face "we're to my room now" he rolled his eyes "where's mine" I asked he laughed "you'll be staying with me" he said walking in the room "fine" I huffed as we walked in.
I was sitting on a chair watching Judar try to sleep "go to sleep Judar" I said he huffed "I can't I haven't been able to sleep the past few nights so shut up" he said I sighed and got up off the chair walking towards his bed "move over" I said he did as told, I sat on the bed I moved Judar's head on my lap stroking his hair "what are you doing" he said but before he could jump up I grabbed his head "hush child go to sleep now" I said humming a toon as Judar closed his eyes "Sleep my child and peace attend thee, All through the night Guardian angels God will send thee, All through the night Soft the drowsy hours are creeping, Hill and dale in slumber sleeping I my loved ones' watch am keeping, All through the night Angels watching, e'er around thee, All through the night Midnight slumber close surround thee, All through the night Soft the drowsy hours are creeping, Hill and dale in slumber sleeping I my loved ones' watch am keeping, All through the night While the moon her watch is keeping All through the night While the weary world is sleeping All through the night O'er thy spirit gently stealing Visions of delight revealing Breathes a pure and holy feeling All through the night" I singed to him as I lied my head on the back board of his bed. It wasn't long in the song before he was fast asleep and I was closing my eyes drifting off to sleep.
There in front of me was my sisters bodies and flames consuming them, as I got farther away "WAIT NO" I screamed running to get them but I couldn't catch up to them "PLEASE MAKE THIS STOP" I screamed as I fell on my knees "Clover wake up this is a nightmare" I heard katie say I looked up seeing my sisters bodies again "WAKE UP" she yelled "SOMEONE HELP ME" I screamed.
