Cries are heard from a abandoned room in the tower. They are the cries of a girl. A broken-hearted girl. A girl who in her young age, has lost everything good in her world, and been given a burden. Without the knowledge to escape, or to go back, all she can hope to do is to move on. But how is moving on possible if for 9 months, and on, you must carry the constant reminder of being abandoned.
Melody is the cause of the cries. She sits with her head to her knees, sobbing in the corner of the room, her chest rising and falling at uneven paces. She has one hand wrapped around her knees and the other placed on her protruding stomach. She doesn't know anyone. She has no sense of comfort. She does not know the meaning of family anymore. She just, doesn't have the answers that she needs.
She sits up slowly, still unsure of what she can and cannot do with a small child in her. She suddenly feels a kick, which causes a strange reaction. A smile. She wipes at her tears, trying to prevent her makeup from smearing. She looked down at her stomach with harsh eyes, not understanding how such a horrible thing could have caused her to smile. But, her eyes, which were shooting daggers, quickly melt to tenderness. Her eyes once again well up with tears, and she begins to cry, but this time it is quiet, and less violent.
