*** First I wanted to thank Icy Mike Molson for his comments on the story.
I can now improve some mistakes. I also managed to get the win2000 CD from
the system operator at school. He was very unwilling to give it up since
the last time we got it we used it to tackle the school network. But now I
got it and I can install the English spell check.***
CHAPTER 4
She yawned and slowly opened her eyes. Looking around the small cellar she noticed Runt sleeping on the ground. She sighed and wrapped the one blanket Rudolf had given them around him. She smiled at the sounds he made. He was dreaming of his life before being a street kid. She sighed and let her mind wander back to the time before she was a member of Kriff's group.
Ember? Wake up little one, time for school. Awwww Mom I don't wanna go. You have to girl, come on Ylia is going too, you can walk together. All right mom, I'm coming. Quickly she brushed her hair and slipped in a blue dress and went downstairs. Morning Mom. Good Morning sweetie. Did you sleep well? I sure did, what's for breakfast? I got you some bread and eggs. Mmmm yummy, thanks mom. While Ember was eating her breakfast Ylia came barging in. Good Morning Miss Mayle. Morning Ylia, want some breakfast? Nope already had some at home. You ready Ember? Al..Mos..ia. She said while putting the last piece of bread in her mouth. Bye Mom. Bye sweetie, have a nice day at school.
Hours later at the end of the day Ember and Ylia are walking back home. All Right Em, this is my street. I know Ylia, will I see you again tomorrow? Of course you will, you're mom would skin me alive if I didn't walk you to school. Just because you're a little bit older than me does not mean that I should be treated like a baby. "giggle" I wouldn't call 4 years a little bit Em. Ill see you tomorrow Em. Bye Ylia. And with that the two girls said goodbye and split up. Ember walked towards the end of the street where her house was. Mmmm, I hope mom is having dinner ready soon, I'm starving. She opened the door and froze. Mom? MOM? The older woman was lying on the ground. Mom, what happened Mom? Huh, sweetie? You. got to. run! But mom! Run sweetie please. O. OK mom. She heard somebody coming down the stairs and started running towards the door. The kid's getting away, GET HER! Ember sprinted through the door and came to a slipping halt. Where could see go everybody she knew lived at the other side of the city except.. Ylia. She ran towards the street where Ylia lived. Uhmmmm, now which house was it again? Oh, I wish I went there more often. Come on Em, there right behind you, remember. Come on Remember. The eight house at the left. It just popped into her head and she started running again. Please little girl, stop running. We don't want to harm you. You're lying, you hurt my mommy. That's only because she attacked us. How can she have attacked you she doesn't even own a weapon! "sigh" You don't get, she,. On that moment I reached the door off Ylia's house. I threw it open and ran inside. As I ran into the living room I came to a sudden halt. Inside Ylia was surrounded by 4 of the same persons as in my house. They were dressing her in the same outfit as they were wearing. Hey Em, You're going too? I froze while my mind tried to process the information. Ylia has betrayed me. Shot trough my mind. And before Ylia could say another word Ember had run out the door again and jumped trough the gap between the two persons who had followed her. She fled trough the city and was pleased to notice that her followers couldn't tumble trough the huge masses of people and even though she couldn't get rid of them, they could not catch her. This would be a lot of fun if it wasn't so serious. I wish Ylia was here to play with me. NO, Ylia is with them she's not a nice girl. Damn it, I'm getting tired. Hey kid, in here. Ember looked for the source of the sound and saw that it came from a child in a alley. Ah what the heck, I got nothing to lose anyway. She took a sprint towards the allay and felt the child grab her and pull her in a opening behind some boxes. Quickly he shoved the boxes before the hole and covered the hole from the inside with some bricks. I looked around and found myself inside a small room. One corner was filled with hay and a large blanket was thrown over it. Inside another corner was a small table with some rusty plates and mugs. She looked around and saw the boy remove the stones from the doorway. I gotta remove the so that Anya can get in later. Why were those men chasing you anyway? I don't now, I think they are slavers but I don't know for sure. She smiled: Thanks for saving me, I'm Ember. He grinned: No problem Madam, I'm Kriff pleased to meet you.
