Chapter 1
She ran into the night, where to, she didn't know. But she knew she must
not give up! Her child's life depended on it. Her life as well, but that
didn't matter anymore. When she first found out she was with child, she was
upset. She couldn't let this child go through what she had to. What he had
done to her, she shivered while running. When she gave birth, there was
nothing she could do for a couple years, now she had a chance to escape,
for her daughter to be safe. But who would take a creature like her
daughter, or herself for that matter. They had been mutated into beings
with paws as feet, bodies covered in black fur, and pale white faces with a
red nose.

"You look like dogs!" he sneered, his pale blue eyes focused on her. She
closed her black and white eyes and continued on. Her long dark robe was
flying around her in the wind. She did manage to cover her mutated bright
blue hair with the robe. Hopefully they were too far behind to see her now.

"Mama?" the tiny form in her arms said. She was awake now.
"Yes sweetie?" her mom asked.
" We going away from the bad man?"
She nodded. "He wont hurt you again."
Her daughter smiled and went back to sleep.

She ran faster, she had heard a noise behind her and fear was taking over
her body. Also unfortunately something else was as well... Fatigue.
She couldn't run forever. She had to find someplace to hide.
That's when she saw it.... A watertower....
