Walking In the Shoes of Bellatrix: Step Lightly
-Prologue-
On a dreary afternoon a young family had been taking a walk to the store. There were many paths to the little grocery store in the center of the town. They stood there wondering which one to take making sure that if it rains they wont get soaked. They look to the woods, and then down to the empty highway.
“Can we take the shortcut through the woods daddy!” There young snow leopardess daughter shrilled with excitement for she loved the outdoors and loved to hike. Her strong and broadly built father walked loudly on one side of her and her tone fit mother walking lightly on the other.
“I don’t think it would hurt to go through the woods this afternoon.” His voice strong as his rather striking facial features moving with elegance as he talked. Bearing his teeth as he smiled to his daughter as she jumped up and down with excitement to his response. Not knowing what would come next during their trip.
As they walk down the dank and wet path through the woods sticks and leaves crunch beneath the pressure of there feet. The noises of which the little leopardess daughter loved so much about hiking in the out doors. Though the stepping from the leopardess family made such loud noises it couldn’t drown out the one they soon heard near the end of their journey through the woods. The noise was one of which every parent hates to hear. The sound of a crying youngling could be heard no less then a mile away. The small family rushed out of the woods to find a small husky pup crying all by herself.
“Who could do such a thing to a precious young fragile puppy?!” The mother had said picking up the pup and cradling it in her arms. The pup smiled to the leopardess mother, the pup happy she is finally getting some comfort for she has been left alone for a good many hours. The mother looks to the pup and then to her husband. “What should we do?” She asked though knowing the obvious right thing to do. “I shall call you Bellatrix.” The mother whispers into the ear of the small pup and cradles her rocking her to sleep. Though it seems everyone is happy you might want to take a closer look.
