"P...Please, my baby!" The woman pleaded as the healers took the infant from her arms. "I.. I need my baby! Don't take away my daughter!" The woman continued to wail.
Hearing her mother's sobs, the infant cried out and reached out for the comfort of her mother's embrace.
"Miss, please. You have the pox." The head healer said, sounding exasperated. "You need to be sequestered!" Two other healers, dressed head to toe in white including masks and gloves, came forward to restrain the mother.
"My daughter! I want my daughter!" The mother continued to sob, her tears blinding her as she fought against the healers trying to reach her baby.
The infant continued to reach out for her.
"Take her to the confinement room." The head healer ordered before turning to the mother again. "You're child will be well taken care of, I assure you."
The mother continued to scream and fight as she was pulled into the back of the temple.
Once her mother's cries could no longer be heard, the infant quieted and looked up at the healer holding her with curious gray eyes.
"Don't worry dear," The healer said as she rocked the infant. "You're going to be just fine."
Outside the temple lightning flashes twice, on the second flash it exposes the silhouette of a tall man looking into the window at the child. The healer woman held the baby protectively to her breast as she stared into the man's cold eyes.
He smiled widely, and the healer gasped as the man's enlongated canines came into view. The man traced his teeth with his tongue as if expecting a tasty snack, as the healer took a frightened step away from the window. She dug into her robes and pulled out a tarnished holy symbol. She held it infront of her like a shield.
Lightning flashed again, and the man was gone.
The infant turned her gaze to where the man had been and reached out with one tiny little hand. "... dada..?"
