Peter’s POV I turned to look at her. ‘’I’m scared .’’ she blubbered. ‘’Don’t worry. Everything will be alright.’’ I placed my hands beside her cheek and comforted her. I turned slowly to the door again and walked swiftly towards it while holding my phone to light the way, This, I got there and looked at the wheel bed .A baby, suckling her finger ,was lying helplessly on it. I wondered who might own the baby, I shined my light on her. Hence, she lit her face with a smile , not long enough she started crying, I thought of what might be wrong with her. So I decided to carry her out of the bed. Hence as I placed my hands on her, I felt a little warmness in her. Occassionaly, her body has begun to look pale as if it suffered severe burns. She cried the more. I placed my phone on the bed and carried her to my shoulder so that she could stop crying . AFTER SOME MOMENTS M SHE STOPPED CRYING WHILE THE LIGHT OF MY PHONE TURNED OFF ALL OF A SUDDEN. She giggled a bit as the light went off. I wondered what sort of thing is meant to happen this night. The room was filled with darkness. I carried her toSuzanna and also helped her to stand on her feet so that w could get off from the hospital. She stretches her hands so that she could carry the baby. I obliged and gave her the baby. I supported her with my hands , while she carried the baby so that she could walk so fast. We walked out of the hospital in darkness and headed towards my car. The baby never stopped giggling Suzanna embraces her.We reached where I parked my car, so I helped her to enter the cat, while I also turned to go to the driver’s seat. I walked to the back of the ca, unfortunately ,I set my gaze on a sallowed figure at the entrance of the hospital. It looks so terrifying I waited and looked through the darkness to see who was ther. After some moments passed, the shadowed figure disappeared . I got startled A warm wind blows swiftly ,as everywhere was in total darkness. I wondered what sort of night is this. I looked up to the sky and realized that the moon at the horizon of the earth had disappeared. The twikling stars have lost their brightness, and fireworks were not blasting at the surface of the sky again. An owl sound engulfed the atmosphere. The fear in me knows no bounds. ‘’Peter! ,lets go.I’; scared as the night gets darker ‘’ Suzanna speaks as she waited for me to enter the car, so that we can vacate from the place. I rush to the car door and entered .This,I ignied the engine and reversed. Unfortunately,my car hits something that I couldn’t comprehend. The clashing sounds sounded so loud .Suzanna got scared. She holds the baby so tight. The engine of my car turned off on its own. I twinge the key again and pressed the bake pedal so had. Hencem the engine started again .I switched the gear to drive and released the brake pedal hurriedly. I turned the steering sharply, and drove off from the hospital. I never cared to know who got hit , since all that has been happening for a while now was so terrifying. I raced out of the hospital vicinity and headed towards my home. I looked at my rear mirror,and it seemed as if someone is running after me. I crossed my mind and puts on the disbelief that the hospital is cursed or being haunted. I drove some kilometers away from the hospital before I could get home. If it takes me so many hours to get back home compared to the time I spent when I drove my wife to the hospital at an instance. Hence mwe get home, I opened my car door hurriedly and walked to where my wife sat, I opened the door and helped her walk out of the car. She managed to get up mso we walked side by side inside our home. We get to the door , and I twinge the doorknob to open the door. However, the baby never stopped giggling .She covered her face with a smile. We walked inside and switched on the light. The rays of the light buried 9the child .She yelled and cried out louder.I quickly put off the light and wondered what was going on wit her. Suzanna comforted her. We walked to our bedroom. Suzanna walked to th bed on her own. She places the child on the bed and switched on a faint vase light placed beside our bed. The light reflected on the child’s face.I stood closer to the door and looked at what she was a bout to do. Suzanna opened her eyes so wide, as she sees the baby’s face. ‘’My daughter ‘’ She speaks slowly. I raise my brow as I heard her calling the baby her daughter. I felt it would be better not to assume that, the child was our own. I waled closer to her , as she sobs. I get to where she was and looked at the baby’s face. She smiled as she also set her gaze on me. Her smiles lit my world. I felt a little pull in me,it is just as if something came out of me. I lowered myself to her and uses my finger to clear her hair from her face. She is so beautiful and has a pointed nose like her mother. I felt so good.My dream comes to reality. I looked at myself and sees myself as a father. Suzanna was still sobering while our daughter continued to giggle as if someone was playing eith her. Unfortunately,I took a glance at her forehead and sees a scar on it. I looked at the sca and it took a shape of a triskelion. I felt the urge that I have seen something like that before on someone but I couldn’t remember at that moment. I never said a word about that, I had a belief that my daughter is not an ordinary child. Even the time of her birth speaks a lot about her. I draw Suzanna closer to me and kiss on her forehead. We embraced each other , and the light fades off.
