2 Always (1/2)

The rough blustery winds buffeted the little girl's dress. She rushed into her mother's warm embrace. Finally she found herself to be safe, engulfed in the embrace it gave her a barrier of protection. Her mother's strong arms wrapped around her small body, promising her well-being.

”Mo-m-maa..” Margaret shuttered.

”They killed my friends.”, the little girl buried her face in her mother's chest. Emilia spoke nothing as she knew this coming. From the day she gave birth to Margaret, she knew the possible dangers wandering around her.

Five years ago,

When Margaret was born, Catherine, Emilia's maid warned her about the dangers surrounding her.

”Are you sure? Will it be safe to keep this baby alive? You know very well that they are after you!!”, Catherine warned Emilia.

”She's the only hope for me. I vow to protect her till my last breath. She must live.”, Emilia told as she looked at the crystal child. She smiled as she noticed that her child had her features, her doe like eyes, straight small nose, skin as white as porcelain, except for the blueish purple eyes and platinum blonde hair which she inherited from her father, which she knew would cause trouble in near future.

The girl had a moon shaped birthmark on her left chest. A crescent moon surrounded by 3 stars, which when connected formed a triangle. Touching the birthmark, Emilia smiled bitterly. She must protect her precious asset from them.

Present scenario.

”Margaret listen to Momma”, her mother pleaded with her hands cupping the small face.

”The world is not a safe place for you. If I leave you, do not cry okay? You must live”, the crying mother tried to pull her lips to smile but she failed.

She wrapped a simple pendant around her daughter's neck.

”Keep this pendant safe, never loose it. It's very special. RememberN-E-V-E-RL-O-O-S-Eit ”, the girl nodded as she carefully listened to her mother.

”Momma loves you”, Emilia kissed her daughter for the last time.

Having no idea of what was happening, she saw her mother leave the house without turning back.

Moving out and running towards the barren land near her house, Emilia took out the dagger she hid in her pocket.The rain kept pouring. The scent of rain is dark and strong. The sky roared with the lightning flashed the dark sky.
