A Journey to You

“Run! Hide and go away from this place and save yourself and our daughter. I will hold them off,” the husband said to his wife while fear and sadness is evident on his face. Fear, not for himself but for the fate that will come to his loved ones and sadness for he knew that after this he will never see their smiles again. “I love you, now go!” before the wife could reply, a strong and dangerous howl was heard and is coming on the place they are hiding. With tears in her eyes, she ran as fast as she could for she has a little angel that she needed to protect and keep away from danger, and as she thought that she finally lost the enemy that is running after them, an arrow was shot and landed on her back and was added by another. She felt the excoriating pain that is caused by the arrows but she can`t let the pain stop her for their lives are at stake and her main purpose is her daughter`s safety more than hers. Hours have passed and the fast running, the arrows on her back and the loss of blood had taken a great toll on her strength and as expected, she finally reached her limit and fell down. She brought herself up and went to the nearest big tree to hide and take a little rest. She looked at the baby inside the little basket and found it sleeping peacefully like an angel. The area is peaceful and only the moving of the tree`s branches and the sound of insects are the only noise that she could hear. She then checked the small flask which contained a blue colored liquid which helps them hide their smell to keep the enemies from tracking them from afar using their sniffing abilities. She carefully looked at the liquid and realized that it`s only a matter of time till it runs out. The sound of disturbed birds from a distance caught her attention and fear attacked her system again. She knew that her time is also running out due to blood loss and as she was looking for a place to hide her baby, she spotted a well not far from the tree she was hiding. She then only realized that they are now in the mortal`s area. The sound of breaking tree branches and some heavy footsteps alarmed her. She took her child to the well and open the little basket and poured all the liquid on her baby to hide its smell, she then also took her locket and put it on her baby and gave it her goodbye and last mother`s kiss before closing the basket and tie it on a rope that was in the well and slowly send it down hoping someone can find her little angel and save it. She then put the flat wood on the well`s mouth and run again but even if she had rest a bit, it is not enough because the enemies finally caught her not a kilometer away from the well. “The baby is not with her.” one of the enemies told their leader “Where.Is.the.Child!” the leader growled in anger but she just smiled and made the leader`s anger worst. “Where did you hide it you b***h!” the leader again angrily asked her while holding her hair so tight so he could have a better look at her face. “You have to kill me first before you could find my daughter,” she replied. “As you wish,” not a second later a slicing and thrust of sword was heard. “Look for the child, she must have hide it not far away from here and don`t come back until you found it!” All of the enemies went to different directions leaving the mother lying on the ground with a smile on her face and tears in her eyes hoping that someone could save their child from their cruel world and a possible crueler destiny. That someone from above would send someone to protect their little angel, the child from the prophecy, their little Hope. With her last dying words, she pleaded and look at the moon “Please protect our baby, protect the child that was once with you before you send her here.” At that moment the moon shone brightly witnessing the deaths and hearing the pleas of the people asking for their little angel`s safety and protection.
