There is an explosion of color, a crisp, sharp breeze that chills the body and forces crowd to walk faster, passing the couple meandering through the park. Raven links her arm with Irene’s before leading her to one of the wooden benches.

“She will be here in a few moments. She will bite you,” Irene states, effectively shooing her away.

Raven slips easily into the crowd, altering her shape and keeping a close watch on her lover. She sees the child move carefully towards Irene, follows the girl’s glance to the walking stick and purse lying on the bench. An easy target. Quickly, Raven steps forward, grasping the girl’s hand as she reaches into the purse and hauls her away from the crowd.

“Ow!” the girl yells, struggling against her, small limbs flailing frantically.

No one pays attention and Raven believes they think of it as nothing more than a mother disciplining her child. She smiles as the girl’s teeth sink into her hand. “No more of that,” Raven orders, setting the girl down, who looks at her with wild, terrified eyes.

“Whatcha gonna do to me?”

“Take you far from this cold place,” Irene replies with a smile.

“Would you like to get a hot meal, Anna Marie?” Raven inquires, watching the girl’s eyes widen.

“How do you know my name?”

“All will be explained, child,” Irene replies and the girl looks suspiciously between the two.

“Are you gonna take me back—“

“No,” Raven replied adamantly. “You will never have to go there again.”

The girl seemed relieved at that and nodded, letting herself be pulled along as they entered the throng of people. Raven linked her arm with Irene, smiling. Our own little family.

She never did notice the sorrow in her lover’s gaze.
