It had been a long day. With drooping eyes and waning strength, the little ones relented from their toys and games with an urging by their parent. As the lights went out and the kids went to far away lands in their heads, other things were stirring to disturb the dreams. From the darkness, creeping, crawling, grotesque creatures stalked towards the bed, eager to turn even the most wonderful dream into hideous nightmares.
On the shelf in the corner, stood the family's chess set. Long it had been the parents chess set, giving rest and enjoyment to the toil of the day. Now it had been passed to the children who, much like their parents, enjoyed playing with the pieces. Despite having little understanding of the rules, small worlds would come into existence with the pieces leading the imaginative stories. One of the pieces, a small pawn, was often used in the games. Loved by the kids, it had grown fond of them.
Although the other pieces were often consumed with the business of other agendas, this small pawn was normally thinking of the children. With the creatures creeping towards the kids this night, the pawn would have none of it. Tonight, the kids would remain in their dreams, undisturbed by the darkness around them.
