The wind howled furiously outside the night streets of the peaceful little village of Nekia, a sign of a huge storm coming. It was past midnight, and most people were already in their warm and comfortable beds. Only a few were in the streets, wrapping themselves tightly with their clothes and running towards the warmth of their homes.
"GET HER!!" a soldier in a red uniform rushed down the street of Noir. He shouted furiously to his comrades as he pointed to a woman who's several yards ahead of him. A golden badge on his chest in the shape of a sword clearly showed that he was the proud captain of that particular squad.
Oh god, no! Thought the beautiful woman who was running furiously through the streets, stumbling on her rags as she ran along. A hood covered her head so that all you could see of her face were her eyes. Right at that moment, her beautiful emerald orbs were filled with fear for the little bundle she carried. Please, at least let her be alright! She dashed through the woods, the branches scraping her pale skin, leaving streaks of blood on them. Not even she knew where her destination was, but as long as she was alive, she was going to try to get away from those soldiers. It was her only chance. How did it ever come to this? She thought to herself. Everything was so peaceful and quiet, until… But before she could think anything else, she felt a sharp pain racing through her spine, and she knew she had been shot. No!! I will not give up! The woman of around 24 was determined to get away, and even with an arrow in her back, she would not stop running. Blood sprouted out from the wound in her backside, dripping down her old rags, seeping it through and staining her porcelain skin red. Energy was draining out of her with every step she took, and she knew she would not last long against the mighty squadron on horse. But she kept on running, running away from those horrid soldiers for a chance for her daughter to live.
BOOM!!! The thunder clashed overheads as the icy bitter wind swept by, making all the horses buck. The soldiers fell, landing on their backs, even the captain. He cursed as he got up, and tried to get back on his horse, but without success.
Taking full advantage of this, she ran on and on. As she ran toward the center of the village, a mansion gradually came into view, and to her it seemed 1000 miles away. With the little life she had left in her, she made a mad dash toward it, getting further and further away from the soldiers. She needed to do this out of the soldiers view. Well, at least I know she will be safe. She thought as she looked lovingly at her child. At last after weeks of worrying, for the first time she could finally be at ease. Running up the stairs in the porch, she knocked on the polished wooden door hurriedly until a maid finally came out.
"Yes?" The maid asked.
"Oh please kind lady, please take my daughter with you! Keep her safe! I'm begging you!" The woman said, running out of breath from the long run she just had and a lack of blood.
"I'm sorry, but my masters aren't home right now. Maybe you should ask someone else." The maid kindly rejected the woman, glancing at her at the same time.
"I know I don't look good right now, but please! You can hide her! Just keep her alive! Some day I'll repay you, please!" The woman desperately begged the maid, constantly glancing back to see if the soldiers were there yet.
"Well, fine. I promise I'll keep her alive, but when will you come back?" The maid inquired.
"As soon as possible! Thank you so much!" As she tried to catch up her breath the hood on her head fell back, revealing stunning raven hair even if they were all tangled.
"You… you are…" The maid stuttered, staring at the lady's hair as a look of recognition crept on her face.
"SHHHHHHH," The woman stopped her before she went on. "Yes, but don't tell anyone you saw me alright?" She carefully handed her the bundle. "Just promise me you'll keep her safe until I come back. Ok?"
"Of course, I promise." The maid cautiously took the little bundle in her arms. "I'll guard her with my life."
Before anything else could be said, the hoof beats of the horses were heard, and the woman ran on again. As hard as it is for me to let go, she thought to herself, I did the right thing. But she had lost too much blood that night, and no matter how hard she tried not to, she had to slow down. The soldiers were gaining, and there was nothing she could do about it. The maid could not stand watch anymore of this injustice, so she quickly turned away with the girl in her arms and closed the door behind her and went to her room. Seconds later, the whole village was filled with a heart-wrenching scream. Then, total silence…
"Oh god no!!" The maid cried out. "NO NO NO!! This can't happen! NO! Please, tell me this is not true." She sobbed on and on, but no body else was there but the little girl who sat beside her. She woke up, exposing her short auburn hair and beautiful emerald eyes just like her mother's. She was crying hard, without even knowing that she will never see her mother again.
Outside, the sky darkened and darkened, and finally, the storm was here…
