Illusions Interlude
So I have written something other than Transformers tonight.
Title: Illusions
Rating: T
Summary: I still don't have one yet. How sad is that? This should probably be the part where I say, help? There wasn't anything that she wouldn't do for her child. The world will remember her as the mother who died to protect her child and her child will remember her as the woman who erased herself to give him a life. Oftentimes the greatest deceptions are those hidden in front of you. A Naruto Crossover.

Gasping for breath through the terror clutching at her heart, Lily raced up the stairs with her child ensconced safely in her arms. Footsteps echoing through the house loudly as she tried to turn down the hallway leading to the nursery too soon, the panicked mother hissed through her teeth with pain as she clipped the edge of the banister with her hip. Forcing the pain to the furthest corners of her mind, fear-filled emerald glanced to the staircase behind her before flicking back to the dimly lit hallway before her.
Adjusting her grip on the child in her arms to keep his soft cries muffled against her shoulder Lily reached a hand into the pocket of her robe to grip the small tin of shrunken items she'd carried since learning of the price on her son. Dry lips pressing a kiss against soft skin that smelled of baby powder and of leaves being blown through a fall wind, Lily reached the end of the hallway and fumbled with the doorknob to the nursery before the door opened with enough force to impact the wall.
Sliding her foot beneath the door, the redhead made a swift backwards motion with her foot to close the door of the nursery. Wand in hand and spell already on her lips as she made the required motions, sharp eyes noted the almost intangible barrier covering the door. Secure with the knowledge that the barrier would give her the time she needed, Lily pulled her son from arms long enough to set him down in the crib that was nestled into the farthest corner of the nursery from the door. Red hair spilling over her shoulders and down her back as she kneeled, the young mother opened the sturdy chest filled with blankets that she'd carried up to the nursery not three weeks after her child's birth.
Colorful mixes of blankets were thrown to the floor as she searched for the particular set of blankets that she'd hidden away in the chest. Sighing in relief as her hands brushed the edges of the distinctive material; Lily grabbed a handful and pulled. Uncaring that she'd effectively emptied the chests contents on the nursery room floor she nearly stumbled as she rose and turned back towards the crib in the same motion. Shaking out the blankets with shaking hands, Lily wrapped them securely around the child paying no mind to the confusion shining brightly in eyes so like her own.
Licking her lips nervously as the stairs creaked and a fine shudder passed through her body, Lily flicked her wand to light the candles stationed in the four corners of the nursery. Brilliant flames of sapphire, emerald, ruby and diamond lit the room as she pulled a well-worn letter from beneath the crib's padding before tucking it into the blankets covering her child. Hand sliding into her pocket to close tightly around the tin, Lily pulled her hand from her pocket and let her grip loosen as the barrier surrounding the door wavered. Contents scattering across the floor as the tin bounced then rolled, Lily straightened and flexed her fingers around the wand in her hand as the markings she'd etched so carefully into the candle's wax flared.
