The wounded Lioness

"Papa!! Mama!! Look!!"

A young girl with a beautiful smile on her lips present her medals and awards to a couple inside the tiny house.

"Heh..is that all you got?"

A young boy who look exactly to the young girl also barge in with much medal and awards on his hand.

"What?? Hey that's not fair how did you get too much award than me?"

Complain by the young girl.

"Maybe because I'm more genius than you are."

The young boy reply with a proud smile.

"Now... Now no fighting inside the house remember? Go wash your hands your mom cook your favorite food today.*

The father of the kids get in the middle of the twins fight patiently.

"YEY!!!"

The twins yell in delight and race to wash their hands. A family of four eating happily when the scene suddenly change.

"Run dear!! Don't come back. Take care of each other. Big brother take care of your little sister."

Their wounded mother guide them away from those people chasing them. They saw their father being shit while protecting them.

"But Mama!! What about you?!! Come with us!!"

The young girl cry in her plea never let go of her mother's wounded body. The mother hug her twins really tight. Conveying all the love she have for them. She then push them inside the secret passage.

"Go!!!"

She look at the eldest son. The eldest among the twins hesitate yet seeing her mother's eyes full of determination, he drag her younger twin sister and ran inside the secret passage. The moment use all her might to close the huge door.

"Remember Papa and I always love you both. Live well, happy and healthy my loves. I love you."

The mother's last word before the door close with a bang.

"MAMA!!!.. MAMA!!!!"

The young lady keep on banging the close door with her small pist. Screaming , shouting her , crying for her mother. Yet no answer from the other side. The young boy beside her also crying silently. Trying to act though and brave as what he promised to his mother. Carrying a small bag he hold his twin sister's hand.

"Time to go."

In crack voice he encourage her.

"Mama..."

The she look at him with pleading eyes. This already happened many times. They always successfully scape unscratched to those who's chasing them. They don't have no idea why those people with heavy guns always chance after their family. Their parents never allowed them to ask about it and only tell them it's an adult things.

"It's fine... they're will be fine. We will pray for their safety okay? For now we need to go."

The boy wanted to convince her yet his voice and tears betrayed him. They're not even reach their teens how they can survive in this cruel world. He took out the paper that's inside the bag. Whenever they're escaping their parents give them this bag and always tell them that if ever something happens find the name inside the paper in that address.

"Fred Castillo. What do you think he look like big brother?"

The girl read the name on the paper.

"I don't know. Let get moving first. We need to find a place to stay for now before we look for him."

The two of them walk in the dark passage. It's like a maze yet with the help of the map on their hand they find their way out. When they successfully reach the end of the passage a middle age man same age of their father is waiting for them.

"Hello twins I'm uncle Fred."
