The Glitch

One Ending, Another Beginning

A storm, lightning, thunder, together they roar louder than a lion. This storm was to scare off travelers from the wishing well. A well that almost anything you wish for comes true. However, although the storm was very dangerous, it didn't stop this woman. She ran to the abandoned village where the wishing well was located. Every now and then a flash of lightning would strike near her. She ran as fast as she could as well as trying not to slip. Soon, she arrived at the center of the village. For some reason, the storm wasn't as violent near the center of the village.
The woman grabbed a piece of pure gold from the medium-sized basket she was carrying. She unraveled a towel that was covering something in the basket.

Then cries from a baby were heard. The mother put down the basket gently, and scooped up the baby in her arms. The women walked closer to the well and threw the gold piece in it. She whispered something so silent that when the wind blew it was impossible to hear her. The mother looked down at her child, smiling yet crying at the same time. She placed the small child back into the basket before she disappeared.

The baby cried, and cried. Until a light orb floated around her. It floated near her chest and went into her heart. The baby instantly fell asleep.

It seemed as if there was no hope for the baby, especially since she was in the middle of an abandoned village. However, miracles do happen. A young boy poked his head out from his hiding place and ran up to the baby. He grabbed her and started running to the nearest village. As he ran out of the village the ferocious storm guarding it soon calmed around him. He kept running and running. Later on, when he finally reached the next village, the boy turned the girl in to an orphanage so they would take care of her.

After the orphanage took her in, the whereabouts of the boy became a mystery. No one had ever seen him before.
