The cries of a baby were soon heard.agnes sighed in relief she had thought the baby would be born with claws or a ahairy body but to her surprise it was human.shebknew if the clergy learnt that she had just helped the wanted witch deliver her little demon into the world she would be thrown out of the kingdom.Bt she knew the truth.she had known vespera since she was 7 yrs and she knew that she wasnot all evil as rumours had.They had studied in the same pre school and 2ere very close.vespera was was widely known for her outstanding beauty.she had the features of a goddes and the voice of an angel.her skin was snow white and here eyes were emerald and sparkly.she looked nothing like a witch. If one was told she was an evil force they would laugh themselves to the ground.
Agnes loked at the baby in her hands."run Agnes,get out of here they are coming ..."vesperas voice came through with pain .suddenly a blue light appeared.it was a portal.vespera had opened a door way to the forest.they heard the horses and knew that the Kings men were approaching."go Agnes get out here,"what about you...wat about ur baby no vespera let's leave together""for how long will I hide....they won't stop searching for me.how many more innocent lives will I take just to keep my self safe.that kid is all I have it's wat I've been fighting for this whole tym....." the soldiers were at the door."we have u surrounded vespera no more running."it was the arch bishops voice.agnes froze she knew she had to leave fast lest she is considered a traitor."ill take care of the baby for u Agnes I won't let any harm come to her.""its name will be lyra"those were the last words Agnes heard from vespera before going through the portal.There were more than a thousand soldiers outside the barn.thmemvers of the clergy had co.e together with all the monks.they believed vespera was a demon who could only be defeated by prayers and holy water .vespera closed her eyes and she saw a clear image of everything outside.the leaders of the church had surrounded the barn each holding a rosary In their hands.they had set up candles around the barn forming a cross.she smirked.this people did not understand hoe powerful she was.
"Oh come out and face us u spirit of the dark.come face us if u drenthe archbishop said in a mocking voice.she laughed slightly knowing she could wipe them all out with a click of her finger.bt she knew this had to come to an end some day.she had to protect her most precious procession.her baby.she hadn't even seen its face.a warm tear trickled down her cheeck.she had to make them pay.one by one.bt she could only do that if her child lived.And the child could only live if no one knew she was born.she said a short prayer then closed her eyes.this was her end.she heard someone approaching the door to the barn.it was the archbishop.she couldn't let anyone come in or else her succrifice would be of no use if they saw her and knew she had given birth.so in a swoosh a great fire erupted outside the barn starting from the furthest corner of the barn.it cosumed every thing.even vespers herself.it happened so fast that nothing remained of it.not even vespers bones were left.no one survived to tell the story.the placed became dark.ther was a dark cloud over it.0
