Chapter 56 : Unlikely Allies
*Eliza*
The building must have been used as some kind of common space for the people of Abe’s village. It was a wide, open space with several long tables able to seat dozens of people as well as bookshelves lining the walls. There was a single hallway leading away from the common area, and one of the doors was ajar. Light spilled into the darkened hallway as I held Scarlett’s hand and led her forward.
I could feel her hesitation. The air around us was thick and electric. One glance at her face and I knew she was likely going to faint when we reached the room, especially now that childlike laughter was filling the air around us.
The voices of women cut through the chatter as we approached the door. Scarlett paused, digging in her heels.
“I can’t,” she squeaked, looking up at me with wide eyes and a flushed face. “I can’t!”
“Why? He’s your son—”
“He has no idea who I am. He wouldn’t have been told anything about me, Liza. I was never considered his mother. I was just a vessel—”
I grabbed her by the shoulders. “Stop it, Scarlett. Look at me! Look at me right now.”
She sheepishly held my gaze, tears welling in her eyes.
“He’s probably terrified. His father was just killed, and he was taken by strangers to this place. Now I’m here to take him. I’m just another stranger taking him to another strange place—”
“You’re taking your son home, Scarlett,” I said with force, wiping a tear from her cheek. “He needs you. He’s always needed you. He should have never been taken from you to begin with. I don’t care if that’s how things are done here,” I ground out, tears welling in my own eyes as she began to crumble in my arms. “It shouldn’t have happened. It shouldn’t have happened to you and I am sorry. I am so sorry—”
“Are you here to see the boy?” came a light, feminine voice down the hallway.
We both turned our heads at the same time, finding a woman standing a few yards away from us. She gave us both a sympathetic smile, her eyes creasing as she beckoned us over.
“Abel said you looked just like the boy. Look at you,” she took Scarlett’s trembling hand as she came within reaching distance, her fingers closing around Scarlett’s. “Oh, my dear. There is no doubt this child is yours.”
The woman must have sensed the emotional turmoil Scarlett was experiencing. I reluctantly let go of Scarlett, watching as they turned into the mysterious room. The sound of laughter rang through the air, followed by the clanging of toys and little footsteps darting around. There was more than one child in the room… there had to be.
And I was right, I realized, as I crossed the threshold of the doorway and stepped into the light of a large room decorated with all of the colors of the rainbow. At least a dozen children, most under the age of five, zigzagged around the room in a chaotic fashion while four women tended to them.
Scarlett was standing in the center of the room with the kind woman’s hand pressed lightly against her lower back. The woman was speaking softly to Scarlett, her eyes fixed on Scarlett’s face.
But Scarlett was rigid as a statue, her back to me, her eyes focused on a small boy with a gleaming mop of cherry red hair who was playing with blocks in the corner of the room.
My heart was in my throat.
