Description

And now, here is a sneak peek from one of the chapters from my upcoming sequel, A Mate's Rebirth! This is a flashback scene with Belle singing to Georgie when he got scared. 
The song is from Walking Dead Game Final Season. I just think it fits. Enjoy!

*June, 1988*

Little Georgie was tucked in bed, holding his turtle plush close to him as Belle sat next to him. Georgie told his babysitter that he is afraid of the dark and the shadows from his lamp create scary images on the walls. Like monsters will come out to get him. Belle stroke his hair.

"There is nothing to be scared of, Georgie. I'm here." She told him.

"Sometimes I sleep in Billy's bed so I won't be scared." Georgie told her. Belle stared at him. She couldn't blame him for being a small child. Most children can be scared of the dark. Belle remembered when she was afraid of the dark when she was around Georgie's age. Afraid to get out of bed to see if monsters hide under the bed or in her closet. Then, an idea popped in her head.

"You know, I can sing you a song that will help you not to be afraid of the dark." She said. "Would you like that?" Georgie nodded and rest his head back on the pillow. Belle took a breath and begin singing with her lovely soothing voice.

"Never mind the darkness,
Never mind the storm,
Never mind the blood red moon,
The night will be over soon,
The night will be over soon."

Georgie listened to the song and smile at the sound of Belle's voice. Sounds like an angel. Belle continued to sing to him.
Bill hears Belle from his room. He got up from working on his desk and stood by the doorway to listen to Belle's song. He quietly walks down the hall to get to his little brother's room.

"Brush away the sorrow,
Brush away the tears,
Sing away your heavy heart.
The night will be over soon,
The night will be over soon.
For every night goes quiet,
And every moon grows blue,
Beyond the dark, comes something new."

Bill stood by Georgie's doorway and see Belle holding Georgie's hand as she sings. Belle noticed Bill and smiled at him. Georgie's eyelids are getting heavy. The song helped. Belle finishes the song.

"The sun will be rising soon.
The sun will be rising soon.
The sun will be rising soon."

Georgie closes his eyes and fell right to sleep. Belle smiled and stroke his hair once more. She whispered goodnight to him before leaving the bedroom. Bill and Belle quietly left the bedroom, shutting the door halfway shut.

"That was...p-p-pretty." Bill said. "Did you make it up? The song?" Belle turned to him with a smile.

"No. My grandmother used to sing it to me when I was little. She calls it, 'Don't be Afraid'." She told him. "When Georgie told me he is afraid, I just thought about the song. I guess I could sing it to him when I babysit him again." Bill nodded at her. The two walk downstairs while Georgie is sleeping peacefully.
