Come Home
Hello world
Hope you're listening
Alyss finished the washing up and started to dry it. As she did though, she looked out of the window that was in front of her. She continued to work mechanically as she finished the rest of the things and out them away, still looking out that same window.
Forgive me if I'm young
For speaking out of turn
There's someone I've been missing
She sighed, got her cloak and went out to the stable. As she passed her horse, she gave her and apple that she had picked up. Then she walked over to Tug's empty stall and stood there waiting.
Waiting as though her spending more time there would speed up Will's return home.
I think that they could be
The better half of me
They're in the wrong place trying to make it right
She thought about what he would have been doing at that time. From the latest information she had received from Halt, he would be in a prison in Skandia being tortured by a Jarl who thought that Erak didn't deserve to be Oberjarl.
Alyss shook her head and walked back into her horse's stall. All Lady wanted to do was cheer her up and Alyss was glad for the comfort that even a horse could give her.
But I'm tired of justifying
So I say to you..
Eventually though, Lady protested being used as a shoulder to cry on, as the fifth tear fell on her, she nudged Ayss off and pushed her towards the house, reminding her of her duties.
With one last hug, Alyss silently walked back inside the cabin.

Come home
Come home
Cause I've been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all I see is you and me
The fight for you is all I've ever known
So come home
~*~
The door creaked as it was opened and with the sudden wind the fire in the hearth that had died down flared back up again suddenly.
And just like that flare if the fire, Alyss had a sudden thought that Will had returned. She spun around excited, only to find snow starting to fall gracefully outside.
I get lost in the beauty
Of everything I see
The world ain't as half as bad
She fell onto her couch, only to move again at the harsh sound of her son crying. Ayss picked him up and started to feed him, watching as his face went from scrunched up, to quietly sleeping again.
For the first time since she had heard about Will being imprisoned, Alyss let out a smile. It was small, but for that moment, she had allowed herself to get lost in the pure beauty that was in front of her.
And the worst of it?
Will didn't know about him.
As they paint it to be
If all the sons
If all the daughters
Stopped to take it in
Alyss walked out to couch and gently sat down on it, holding her son towards her. Hd reached out and opened and closed his tiny hand at her. She gave another smiled and continued to watch him as he slept, the hours of the night slowly moving on.
Well hopefully the hate subsides
and the love can begin
It might start now..Yeah
Well maybe I'm just dreaming out loud
Until then
Her own mind helped her to slip into a slight slumber filled with pure dreams of happier times that were to come.
Will seeing his son for the first time.
Presenting her son to everyone, with a beaming Will next to her.
But mainly...
Will coming home to her safe and sound.

She woke up for a split second as her son moved and then they both fell back into the sleep god's hands together. Their dreams only slightly different in content.
Everything I can't be
Is everything you should be
And that's why I need you here
Everything I can't be
Is everything you should be
And that's why I need you here
So hear this now
The snow fell harder and the night grew older as they slept the dreams that were to happen someday. But the only thing stopping them was time.
