A MAZE OF GREED

"Don't stop, Ruth. Run, run!" Thea yelled again while moving her hands. Before Edwin turned her around and got a chance to see her face, Ruth pulled her hand up and jabbed his nose. Edwin wailed in pain as he felt his nose go numb with pain. Instinctively he freed Ruth to cover his nose with both hands. He bent over a little as his eyes watered because of pain. "You!" He hissed in anger as he leapt again for Ruth. But she managed to run before he could catch her again. Her head turned around in shock when Edwin's hand tore her dress when he tried to grab her. It also surprised Edwin as he had not intended for this to happen. He looked up from the piece of cloth in his hand to see gorgeous hazel eyes. He stood rooted to his spot as his mind went blank. Ruth managed to get out of the property and ran with Thea without looking back. The guard came panting, but Edwin didn't notice him as his eyes were still trained on the gap in the wall, through which Ruth escaped. He slowly looked at the brown fabric in his hand, and the image of those alluring hazel eyes flashed in his mind. He clutched the fabric tightly in his hand, and the word left his lips in a whisper.

FINDING A NEW HOPE

Thea prepared some soup for the dinner as they did not feel like eating anything. She and Ruth were in Mrs Payne's room. The small house had lost its warmth. It felt lifeless and dull.

Mrs Payne had not moved from her place. She kept staring at the cold tattered mattress where once her husband sat smiling at her.

Her tears had dried after a day's cries. The numbness and the fatigue remained as her companions.

"Mrs Payne... Mrs Payne!" Thea called her name a couple of times.

"Huh?" The lady blinked at her dumbfoundedly.

"I have prepared soup for you." Thea said. She put two bowls in front of her. One was for Ruth, and the other one was for Mrs Payne.

"I do not feel like eating anything, my child." Mrs Payne turned her face away from the soup bowls.

"I understand, Mrs Payne. But you have not eaten anything since morning. You have cried so much and are exhausted. Please eat some." Thea tried convincing her.
