"Lila!""Mom, I'm coming" five years old Lila hurried to the car and entered the back seat, her parents were sitting at the front. She cuddled her teddy."My princess is sitting alone at the back, want daddy to come and sit with you?" She nodded. Her dad got down from the co-pilot's seat and joined her at the back."Let's go, honey," he told his wife, who smiled and turned on the ignition. Soon the car hit the road. The car was at high speed and her mom was trying her best to stop it."Stop it, honey""I can't!!" Her mom screamed back, tears rolling down her cheeks. Her dad moved forward and tried to control the wheel, but it was still fruitless. He turned to his wife "Let's jump"Little Lila was already crying. Her dad turned to her and held her on her shoulders."How much do you trust your dad?""Very much," the girl said in between her tears."The seatbelt is stuck!! It doesn't wasn't to come off!" Her mom said in a panicked voice."Very much?""Very much""Close your eyes' he tol
Rem opened his eyes to see himself in an awkward position, or maybe not him, but Lila. She was lying next to him, her head on his chest. He wondered how they had ended up in that position, he was still at his end of the bed, so it meant that Lila was the one that rolled over to his side.Gently lifting her head and placing it on the soft quilt, he got off the bed, tucked her in, and left the room.When Lila finally awoke, she rubbed gingerly at her eyes to adjust to the brightness. The sun was already up, its rays rushing into the room through the porthole. She lay in bed, blankets and quilt holding her firmly and cozily in place. She wondered how she was neatly tucked in, and immediately remembered that she was in Rem's room and they slept together, he was nowhere to be found, so it explains who had tucked her in.She rolled from one end of the bed to the other, a smile on her lips. How she had dreamed of this, a day she would have a comfortable bed to herself, and not the uncomfort
They were all dead, but he wasn't shedding a tear. This was not the time to cry, he had to stay strong. He lay on his father's back as his father ran. They were still after them, they won't rest unless they were both eliminated.His father ran through the forest, not stopping, behind were sounds of hoof beats."Father, they are catching up," The young ladpanicked, looking back to see where the sound was coming from. His father did not reply, he couldn't because he was in his wolf form, but he quickened his pace. And soon, they arrived at the edge of the cliff. It was so high above that they couldn't jump. Below was running water, it ran from the cliff and formed a river below.His father stopped, slowly changing back to his human form. He fell to the ground because he was weak and tired, the injuries on his back and his knee bleeding non-stop. Their bruises all over his body were so much that the young boy couldn't help but tear up looking at his father in that situation. He knelt be
Ten years later....."Wake up would you?" Sam tried her best not to shout. Lila looked at her friend, she almost looked frustrated but that didn't mean she would give in, she would never do that. "Lila is right you know, this isn't a good idea" Cindy, who was sitting on the floor at a corner said supportively."Wow, now she's right? Look around, both of you. You like here? This place?" Sam waved her hand in a circular motion, indicating she was talking about the house."We are four months behind rent for crying out loud! Aren't you tired of suffering? Of being looked down upon? Aren't you tired of all this?" Sam added."This still doesn't make what you are saying right. Prostitution, really? I don't think you can even hear yourself" Lila looked at her friend like she was insane."It's not prostitution, it's stripping, and what if it was hook up? What's wrong with that? Isn't it just sleeping with men? Are you trying to keep yourself? For who? It's not like prince charming would
She watched Sam as she carefully packed her belongings into a new bag she had recently purchased."So you are seriously leaving?" Cindy asked in an unconvinced manner."Is that a question?" Sam answered with rolling eyes. picking up some clothes she threw them in Lila's direction. Lila caught it before it touched the ground."You've always admired these clothes on me, you can have them, I'll stock up on my clothes once I get there" Sam muttered, but there was no smile on her face.Lila accepted the clothes with mixed feelings. She would miss Sam, the three of them had all been through thick and thin together.Zipping up her bag, Sam raised to a standing position, hands akimbo as she examined the room."I wouldn't miss this place one bit you know" she tried to smile."But I'll miss you guys, so much. I just wish you guys could come along, but I can't force you guys, so..." She carried the backpack and hefted it over her shoulder."I'll have to get going" she smiled, looking at her two f
But it wasn't a ditch, it was a deep hole. She screamed, or maybe she screamed, she thought she screamed, but the scream only sounded in her head, her mouth was tied so no one could hear her, not like it mattered anyway, it was better she died in this hole than allow them to do those horrible things to her.The hole seemed bottomless, she closed her eyes, even though they were already tied. She wondered how deep she had gone, but stopped thinking when her back hit the base of the hole, because the pain that followed suit was so unbearable, and she lost consciousness instantly.________________________________________He watched the deer as it stood motionless, ears pricked and head upright. She sniffed at the air, searching for a telltale scent that might drift downwind. She took a couple of steps skittishly, shifting her position and dancing nervously, ready to bound away at the slightest sign of trouble. Her fawn skipped about her feet, happily oblivious to the fact that they were b
"How did you get here?" He asked, trying hard to hide his curiosity. She looked at him in disbelief."What?" She wasn't sure she heard right. Did he just ask her how she came here?"How did you get here?" he asked again, eyes not leaving her. He talked very peacefully and calmly like he had no problems in this life. This made her calm down."I was kidnapped" She replied, still unconvinced that he had nothing to do with the kidnap."Where were you kidnapped? What happened? Tell me everything" he inquired, still calm.She studied him, he looked sincere, like he wasn't among the kidnappers, so she told him, everything, starting from the point where they captured her.He listened as if he understood everything she was saying, but he didn't. Cars? what was that? There was no such thing around here. And when she got to the part where she fell into a hole, he became alert."A hole?""Yes, it was so deep, bottomless, I thought I was going to die" she explained. She didn't know why she was tel
"It didn't work?""It worked""Now I'm scared" The man stated fearfully, he was already shivering."Don't be, we would find a way to deal with it" Achak replied in an encouraging tone."How? If Winslow finds out about this, he would use our head for breakfast" the man who had initially spoken, Derrick muttered. He was really scared."He won't, unless you tell him about it, we are the only two people that know what happened, we could just tell him it didn't work, and he'll torture us and tell us to try again, that's what we have always done, hasn't it? What difference does it make if it worked this time, we could still say it didn't". Achak insisted, he was far away from being afraid."Pull yourself together, if you behave downcast, they'll know something is up, you don't want to die do you?" He asked his friend, and Derrick, who had been shivering like a leaf shook his head."So it didn't work, the donpull failed once again. We have another month to breathe" Achak said with a matter-o
