200 Thirst- Part 1

Sleep had come late and she had wanted to rest when her daughter-in-law came out pushing her back,

"What are you doing here? Trying to escape?" there was a snark in the young woman's voice as she asked the older woman. The moonlight was enough to showcase the older woman's face and hands that were covered in the bruise. 

"I heard some noise," came out the feeble voice of the old woman, always like a scared voice. 

"You old hag, you will hear more noise if you try to disturb my sleep. Get in!" the daughter-in-law gritted her teeth. Once the older woman was in, the young lady of the house with extremely thin brows looked around trying to gauge why her dumb dog was barking until she caught sight of a person standing in the shadow. 

Before she could question, suddenly a man attacked her to place his hand on her mouth to stop her from screaming and into her neck until the woman's hands fell slack and motionless to her side of the body.
