Aria POV

It's been Fifteen years and all these nightmare is killing me . I can't forget those innocent scared eyes of my mother.After what happened that day ,I loath myself. I hate for not doing anything for her . it was obvious that I was the reason she was killed .

Aria's eyes scan her whole body making her curl up like a ball. She remembers those deadly cries,soothing her scar on her dress remind her of the wicked words and gruesome face . Aria sigh gazing through her open clear window.Her small frame started to move towards the clear admiral horizon . Aria look pale ,it was clear that the terrible nightmare is draining her .But every time it happens,she remembers her mother last words " Be brave and kind my darling,this world needs you.You are their only saviour."At that moment she was not able to understand those words, but now she knows why her mother said so.

Aria stood on the wooden frame and search for anyone to see her but it was clearly silent.It is past midnight so everybody must been asleep ,even the horses and birds are asleep. She took a deep breath filling her lungs with fresh wind of forest mist and chilling wind.

This always works" Aria smrick spreading her arms and falling into the cool air on the green dew soft grass.She look around and started to walk towards the dense part of the forest.The walk took some time and she reaches to her only place where see can see the world clearly.Looking at the clear bright moon and those thousands of twinkling stars her mood lift up. She closed her eyes and drift into her own clueless world laying under an old oak tree.

Her golden eyes were shining from the clear moon light when she heard a soft whine of an animal .She look around and saw a mother fox with her small baby .The small pup was trying his best to wake her mother up by moving around her head and tugging her ." Hey baby ,come here "Aria lifted the pup and started to look at his mother checking for any injury.It was night but the moon light was giving her every opportunity to see clearly.The fox leg was wounded terribly, the attack was clearly from a big animal.Aria knew the mother fox will not be able to survive but looking at the baby whine and innocent eyes her heart broke. She thought how she was no able to help her mother ,it did broke her heart again.

Aria sigh and look at the fox whose life was draining slowly in front her baby. She took out one of her hair pin letting her hair loose on her back ,she slowly stroke the pin in her bare palm letting her red warm blood clearly outside . She look at the wound and let a few drops fall on it smoothly.

Aria stood for few minutes as her soft palm started to recover as it was at first. She look at mother fox who was healing rapidly as if she was not wounded at all. The pup wiggle from the clutches of Aria and ran to his mother, sniffing around to her face. She look healthy now " Aria was happy to see the reunion.The fox started to lick her pup showing she was ok .The fox stood and look at Aria's eyes , bowing her head she turn to jump into the dark path to her home with her pup. Aria was happy to help someone once again.

This was a secret that no one's know about .And she was intended to not tell anyone about this.Aria knew what will be the consequences of letting this secret out. SO she has to keep inside her till her grave.Aria told herself looking at the dawn which was covering the dark horizon.
