Dead trees whispering to eachother haunted Teller and Kaija with their shadows. Like gigantic monsters they spied from the darkness.
Teller brought her to the hideaway he discovered while he was walking in the dark dead forest.
That was before he heard her scared voice trembling with fear and tears. She was silently sleeping in his arms watching beautiful dreams about the sunset and pure dawn near the lake, midnight walks under the starlit sky and kissing beneath the old oak.
Kaija smiled and opened her eyes. Blue ocean of life touched his heart with its dreamy waves of deep calm.
She didn’t ask anything, just looked at him with kindness of her heart.
He noticed her sight. The sight full of dawn and silent melody going from the depth of her child’s heart.
Dreams were still alive in her memory and he took them to his heart. She shared her warmth with him that made him smile with an innocent smile of a little boy whose life was full of joy and happiness.
‘Wide open eyes of a dreamy child, heart full of hope and faith always ready for adventures. She is so naive and pure like a white dove with a grace of the swan and fearlessness of the crow. My fallen angel.’
— Why the crow is fearless? — suddenly asked she and he remembered that she could hear his thoughts.
— Because… em, because so are they. — said he looking at her. — I don’t know, but they really are so. Maybe because they’re always ready for every fatepath noose.
— Hmm… — sighed she and thought for a while. She looked at the glass sky. It was still dark like before the rain or snowfall.
They entered the small house or ‘Teller’s hideaway’ as Kaija called it. It was so so, but pretty warm and cosy. There was a fireplace and Kaija sat near it right on the floor. Teller sat by her and embraced her tight. He stroked her shoulder and kissed her neck.
Suddenly they heard a noise behind the door and looked at it.
