A terrible tragedy

After a lovely time at the park, the couple and their daughter drove out to a far off place in the country of London where Claude and Dao-Ming's secret place stood. Claude drove the car with Dao-Ming in the passenger seat, while Lily happily bounced in her car seat. " my! your excited are'nt you sweetpea?" Dao-ming laughed.

" oh yes! i can't wait to see your secret place!" Lily exclaimed as she clapped her hands, Claude looked in the rear mirror and chuckled,

" she is just a bundle of energy" he whispered over to Dao-Ming, " yes, always so passionate and...explosion filled" Dao-Ming replied doing jazz hands. " she obviously gets that from you" Claude stated tilting his head towards his wife, " yeah well she doesnt have much patience, which comes from you" Dao-mIng stated poking Claude's shoulder.

" whatever" he chuckled and turned into a path that led them into a forest, " ohhhh it's in the forest! score!" Lily yelled rocking her fists into her side. " oh yes, Lily loves nature she loves to go to zoos and all that stuff" Claude said having that (AH HA) moment,

" i love the nature and the animals and the flowers and plants and trees snd bugs!" Lily shouted in a fast speech, Dao-Ming laughed at her daughter's excitedness reached back and ruffled Lily's hair " slow down there kiddo we need to take notes" she said. " oh dont worry i'l teach you guys everything!" Lily said stretching her arms out for emphasis.

when they finally reached their desired destination Claude got out of the car and opened Dao-Ming's door and proceeded with Lily's aswell, as soon as she was granted permission to climb out she raced out the car and danced around in pure joy." and she's off" claude said making Dao-Ming laugh, " yay yay yay yay! the forest!the forest! we'er at the forest!" Lily chanted, jumping with each rhyme.

the couple chuckled together and watched as wonder and awe clouded Spider Lily's eyes, " honey... this is the secret place, this is your father's forest...and now, we'er sharing it with you " Dao-ming said making Lily gasped and run up to her father and hug him tightly, " thank you thank you thank you thank you so much your the best!" she cried into her father's waist.

he patted her back and kissed her forehead " come on there is much more to it than this" he stated making Lily more excited,

they stopped at what seems lik a curtain of leaves, CLaude and Dao-Ming allowed Spider Lily to open them herself revealing to her round eyes a beautiful waterfall with a peacefully pond decorated with fish and Lily pads along with other watery plants, over whelmed by the beauty and meaning Spider Lily began to cry tears of joy,

" ooohhh baby com'er" Dao-Ming cooed as she and Claude took Lily in their arms and hugged her " we love you very much dear" Claude whispered to Lily,

Lily sniffled and sobbed in her father's neck, she creaked open her eyes to see a strange man pointing a gun at them. with a gasp she quickly pulled herslf up on her arms and pointed to the man " daddy watch out!" she screamed but she already felt the bullet poke through her father's chest as it went straight through his back.

" DADDY!" Lily cried out pulling on his coat, he stumble forward but caught his balance and in a split second he grabbed hold of Dao-Ming and ran away from said man. he huffed and struggled as he felt the bullet burning his insides, several more bullets flew by. some sadly hitting the two adults. Dao-Ming cried out in pain as two bullets landed in her arm, she grasped her arm tightly as agony covered her face.

Lily cried and screamed when she heard wind of the bullets fly past her ears, one bullet dug a deep wound in Lily's leg making her hold in her intense scream of pain. to Claude this was not what he wanted his little girl to witness on her birthday, he held her closer and put her infront of his body as more bullets lodged themselves into his back.

all three creatures could hear the sound of dogs and men barking and shouting after them, Claude was begining to lose the ability to run. he grew exhausted as the anti-demon bullets made him grow unconsious making him run slower every second, his breathes became shorter. he coughed and fell to the hard forest floor in a blury vision, all he could see after that were the siloettes of his daughter and wife.
