I smile, the whirring of the Lady Liberty. I cover my ears as the speakers boom, Estimated Arrival: 2 Months! Curse these ears! Three sets of footsteps approach. "Hello miss." "Hiya honey." He smirks and a slight grumble on his breath. "This bitch." My ears perk up at the whisper. "I know you." I smile, "Get to the point, young man." "You're Mama Hearth!" I look at his face, "And you have strange tastes in bed, even behind your wife." He groans slightly, "Grab her, she harbors demon children."

I look to the other two, "You both smuggled Cubans, right?" They whisper to each other as another set march to us, "Let's kill this bitch for even thinking she can fuck with us." "What's going on here?!" One of the men turns and I nudge his foot with my cane. He looks back, then at his superior. He hesitates for just a slight moment, "Just validating her ticket, sir." "Leave her alone." They nod and walk away. I rub my cane's handle, "Thank you, child." The scratching of his head, always a funny sound. "They were out of line."

I chuckle, "You're the self-proclaimed angel I keep hearing." He grows stiff, "Huh!?" I smile, "I have good ears, child." "How? I never-" He gulps as my smile widens, "Mama always has her secrets." He sits beside me, "I had a vision-" "That you'd meet some kind of bat?" He leans towards me, aching to ask me how, I just smile and he nods. "I'm going to Kinelt, never been." "Why though?" I yawn, "I know when and where I'm needed." He leans again, finally it explodes from him, "What's it like, being blind?" I chuckle, "That's a stupid question, I can see just fine." He tilts his head, on the edge of his seat, "I daydream colors of brick, see-through panes of glass, the clouds I hear so much about. Everything you look at, it looks and feels beautiful to me. Vibrant greens, purple, never saw them, but in my head, it's all a masterpiece." "Wow." His ears, the slightest movement, they perk up.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

"It's the loud sounds that scare me, slight screams, then a soldier or a criminal's gunshot. I want to help the children of Kinelt while lying low. That's why I'm going." "I can help you." Here comes the deal, "I need your expertise, what do you want for it?" I smile, "It's simple." He aches for me to answer, every fiber of him leans towards me, begging for it, "The child on Lady Liberty, Jack Delora, keep him, Jean, Rose and I safe, get me a home, enough to house plenty children." He nods, it seems we both have a steal. "Deal, Miss Hearth." "It's Mama Hearth, child." He puts his hands on my own, over my cane, the lightest careful touch, deserving of such a delicate woman like me, "You have a deal, Mama Hearth." I smirk, "I heard you asking about sex to Kaylin." He jumps away and I laugh, "I was just curious how it works!" I smile wider and he points at me, "Don't look at me like that!" I burst out laughing, God, he makes it too easy.
