Snippet #1430430

Wolfswood was tackled by a stampede of children, all shouting "Big Brother!" which only drew out more children from every corner of the church turned orphanage. There was no way he could put Milly out of his head, but at least they were alive, even though they all thought he was dead, he knew it would be okay. He would wake at the crack of dawn, no, before it, and then go and see her, he did remember the obscure little house, but hadn't thought anything of it. Milly must have been heart-broken, he knew, like he would have been had she died, but he would go back to her soon. He kept on thinking as he greeted and played with the children cheerfully. They were all well! He was simply overjoyed, grateful for God's help in the endeavor against that lunatic Knives. But what had Mary meant by 'her condition'? Maybe losing him so soon after they had become intimate? Yes, that was it, Sister Mary had always been a sharp one, but that couldn't stop him from loving her all the more.

The kids were all exhausted before their bedtimes even came around, and Wolfswood felt the same. He laid down in the room that had been his, all that time ago, seeing how it had been kept exactly the same. Sister Mary had never given up hope that he was alive. And Milly would be so happy tomorrow! He'd be there before she woke up, and when she opened her eyes, he would be the first thing she'd see. He couldn't wat! Not to mention the opportunity to see the look of shock on Needle Noggin's face. He chuckled, then fell into a deep sleep, dreaming of all the possibilities tomorrow would bring.

(This next part is just after he wakes up, if you guys are still in the night before I'll wait a bit before the next post)

Wolfswood woke up at 4 in the morning, long before the light of day, and quietly made his way outside, dressed in fresh clothes from his closet, then rolled his motorcycle a bit down the road before firing it up. He made it to the house just as light was coming over the horizon, and made his way inside quietly, practically tip-toeing through the door.
