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.

HAVOC CAUSED BY CUBS

Theodora and Augustus stood on the balcony that faced the shed. Though Theodora had to strain her ears to listen to the light sounds, Augustus could hear them more clearly.

"What is happening there, Augustus?" She asked when she couldn't understand it.

"I don't know but... I can hear their angry growls." He told truthfully.

Theodora tsked in annoyance. "If only we had someone in there to report us."

Augustus didn't say anything as he stared at the shed from a distance. Theodora too was silent for a while, observing her husband carefully.

She asked after a minute, not able to hold back. "What are you thinking, Augustus?"

Her gentle voice always opened his toughest exteriors.

His gaze didn't move from the shed as he spoke, "I am thinking about the cubs, Theodora." A pain flickered on his face. "They are... they are just the kids! They don't deserve this."

Theodora's face softened. She understood what her husband was trying to say.
