“MOMMA!!” The sound of a crying child roused Ilosovic and Alannah from sleep, and they ran into the bedroom that they shared. Katarina, who had just turned four, was sitting in her bed, sobbing and shaking. Michael had been awoken by his sister’s cry and was also wailing, not sure what was happening, but knowing that he was scared.
Alannah ran over to Katarina, enveloping her in a tight hug, and Ilosovic did the same to Michael. “Here now, my little ones, why the tears?”
Katarina sniffled. “I hadda bad dream.”
Alannah clucked in sympathy. “Poor darling. Do you remember it?”
Katarina nodded. “I was being chased by a big dark monster. I was so scared.”
Michael spoke up. “I scared too, Daddy. Chase monster away!”
Ilosovic smiled, then mimed holding a sword and spoke in a firm voice to the shadows. “Listen, you big dark monster! Don’t scare my children! For if you do, the Black Knight and his Lady will come for you and…”
Alannah grinned, and then spoke in a tough voice. “And chop off your tail, trim your ears, and give you a swift kick in the rump! Then we will pull out your tongue and pour boiling water down your throat! Beware the Black Knight, for he is the roughest and toughest there is!”
Katarina giggled, clapping her hands. “Hurray for the Black Knight! Michael, say Hurray!”
“Urray! Black Knight!”
Ilosovic and Alannah joined in the cheering, and then Alannah kissed Katarina on the top of her head. “Do you feel safer now?”
“Yes, Momma. You and Daddy chased away the monster.”
Ilosovic smiled. “And we always will.”
