Summary: It started when she was young, in her dreams.

(peek-a-boo)

The crib was still in the dark room, the only light came from the musical mobile that twirled above the infant. It carried a haunting melody that in the dead of night could not be called a lullaby. 

The door to the room parted and her mother's kind and loving eyes watched over her to make sure she was alright. Satisfied the mother left the door slightly parted and went to retire, but not before whispering her affection towards the child. 

When she had finally gone and minutes had passed the crib slowly started to rock. The musical mobile stopped and the only sound heard in the room was the creaking coming from the crib. 

The infants bright blue eyes opened but no cries came from her precious little mouth, above her gleaming amber eyes twinkled and softly whispered raspy words were carried to her beautiful little ears;

"I see you."

Once again sleep claimed the infant, the sight of the strange creature in her bedroom soon forgotten in her dreams.
