7 One night in years ago (The First Fire-Part 2)

The blackness outside scared her. Father is gone. The lightning took him.

She turned her back and run limply while cried harder towards her standing stiff mother. She keeps shaking her mother and despite her heartful effort, her mother remains still.

The unmovable Sophie still struggling so hard inside her mind. After a while, she no longer can't sense her husband's presence. When the power of spell getting weakened, she tries again refocus all her remaining energy to break the spell. Drained with energy after breaking the spell, she falls down and crushed Erin who stands in front of her.

Erin heard very clearly her anguish mother's last word before she loses consciousness due to head injuries from the hard impact of the floor and been sandwich by her mother's heavy body on top of her.

"If only you weren't born, then I can go with him."

Sophie immediately realizes just now how horrible her words sound even to her own ear. No wonder her husband was so upsetting with her mouthing those careless words. She quickly removes herself from crushing Erin body any longer.

"Erin? Erin darling, I'm sorry. Please wake up now. Mommy's here. Don't be afraid anymore." Sophie repeated those words over and over while shaking Erin's small body.

Looking at Erin's unconscious state, Sophie starts sensing new disturbing energy radiated from her daughter body. Erin's eyes opened suddenly, but only white area appeared in it. The small body got hotter and the sweet smell mix with of charred getting stronger coming from her.

At the Erin's scrapped knees area, the abrasion skin that just bleeds a little suddenly overflow like water from a fully open faucet. Sophie became frantic, she no longer shakes gently Erin body like before but shaking it stronger with her shaky hands.

"Erin! Erin! WAKE UP!!"

Sophie keep slapped Erin so hard while screaming for Erin to wake up. Her right hand and Erin both cheek getting reds but Erin's condition remains the same except the charred smell getting stronger and while the sweet smell getting fainter.

There something vaguely familiar about Erin's strange, but Sophie cannot recall at the back of her mind, but this is enough to confirm that her screaming instinct is right. The blood must be stopped because not only it can jeopardize Erin life due to blood loss, but something sinister might come uninvited soon enough. Sophie just knows without she can't' explain to own herself how she gets the feeling the bad is coming if Erin still not wake sooner. Sophie doesn't want to think too much about it because her main goal right now is to save Erin from bleeding to death.

She just loses her husband, there is no way she will let her precious daughter dies just like that.

But Sophie was too weak after dispell that has been cast on her by her husband. There only one option left that can save her daughter life.

The blood from Erin's knees still not stop flowing and Erin's face getting paler by seconds. The small body also getting colder. Wasting no more time, Sophie pulls her daughter to her lap and embraces her tightly.

"Mommy so sorry but Mommy loves you so much, please remember that."

During that time the slower Erin's blood flow from knee wound, the words Sophie's keep repeating to Erin also getting fainter.
