'She can't look back there no time she must save him he so young If she stopped for a second they will catch them and then all those people who died will be in vain ,....the people that died ...why did her life was like that ..why did she had to lose the people she loved .... Oh my God she is died ' her thoughts was intrupted by men voices

" Where did she go ...she can't have gone far she is injured "

" She went that way there is blood on the tree branch "

" We must find them both her and the little boy we can't have any witness "

" You two go this way and you the other way and you follow me " the men didn't hesitate and took off running and searching every where they can .

Mean while the 16 years girl found a cave like structure and sat there panting and trying to listin carefully for any sign of the men who trying to catch them while rocking the little kid back and forth to try to calm him done , After a while he stopped crying and dreft to queit sleep .

An hour or two have passed she didn't know but there was no sign of anyone near the cave she was staying in so she let a breath of relief

Then every thing happens hit her

They were going home after visiting some relatives and spend really great time with them . Her father , and her maternal uncle was busy working so they left early for work and left her with her mother , little brother who was six years , her paternal aunt and her best childhood friend who was also her cousin whose twenty years

The two families were really close as you see her uncle and mother are siblings same as her father and aunt .. she loved spending time with them always ... Her older brothers were to come later the next weak as they were out of the country for something she didn't remember .

They spend Alot of time with them then said their goodbye , they rode their carriage and left , their relatives house was far from their house about 4 hours riding horses however they spend the whole trip talking tell suddenly the carriage stopped . The sixteen years old girl looked from the window and frowns " mum , why did we stop in the middle of nowhere ?"

" I don't really know maybe Arnist ( the carriage driver ) fall asleep " the mother joked trying to ease her daughter worry then they heared commotion and yells of pain they looked out of the window to find masked men killing the guards and driver . The mother imiditelly got into action and took out her dagger and stood in front of her kids she turned to look around and spoke " don't worry every thing is going to be alright God will protect us "

Her little boy looked terrified and said " mummy what they want , I'm scaried they are going to hurt us "

The mum's eyes soften and she bent done and touched her son's cheek still holding the dagger in the other hand ready to kill any one who think of coming near any of her children

" Don't worry darling nothing will happens to you I will make sure you and your beautiful sister are always safe because I love you more than anything in the world" said the mum

" More than all the chocolate in the world ? " said the little boy is bright eyes

" Mum we are not going to die.... right? " said the 16 years old girl with watery eyes

" Of course not you will live a long brave and happy life and I will be always proud of you " said the mother smiling to hide the fear she had , their conversation was intrupted by the carriage door yanked opened voilencly and their mother suddenly attacked the attacker kicking him I'm the face with all force that she got causing him to fall backward , she used the moment to push out of the carriage and to get her children out once they are out another man attacked but she didn't hesitate to put the dagger to his chest to get rid of the danger she turned for a second for her daughter and said in calm but ergent voice " take your brother and run there is an army training camp near search for any general and show them the family necklace only show the general no other one " she finished and turned to the men who started to advance again " I said run don't stop or look back till you reach the camp" the mother shouted while struggling to keep the men distracted from her children , the 16 years daughter pushed her brother to run before her and waited a second to nod for her mum and started running after a few steps she heared her mother cries in pain and turned to see her mother own dragger implanted in her stomach " Nooooo " she scream and started to move toward her mum not noticing the man coming for her with another dragger when she reached her mother she wanted to hug her and cry but she didn't have time the man hit her with the dragger in her thigh and was about to kill her when her mother pushed him with her last breath she had

" No.. you have to go , you have to protect yourselves and your brother " with one last glance a tear threatened to fall but she didn't allow it she push throw her grief injury pain and started running fast the fastest she ever run , she ran because her life depend on it more importantly because her brother life depended on it .

A mile had passed and she entered the forest that the carriage was moving on the road beside , she stopped for a second. Only a second to take a breath and try to search for her brother as quiet as possible while she was moving slowly she heared a snifle that was followed by small voice sobbing at the same time trying to be silent she followed the voice to find her brother hiding behind a tree curled as a ball

" Lan " She whispered ..it took him a moment to react and look toward her then his eyes widen and he ran toward her and hug her as tight as possible " It's okay lan everything is going to be alright .. you are safe baby ... I'm here ..I'm not going anywhere without you " after she finished she hear voicing of men coming so she carried her brother and ran till she found the cave they are hiding in till morning

Venus wake up breathing heavily with a tear staining face and aching chest

" It's okay .. he is okay.. it's just a nightmare with that bad memory ..Everything is fine " she told herself crying

" Oh God help me ... Please watch out for my brothers and all of my family I can't lose them " she prayed

And them laied on her side the last thing she said before she dreft to dreamless sleep was " mum .. I miss you .. forgive me I couldn't save you " she whispered
