A Girl

Erin close her eyes, and helplessly let The Lady to kill her.

Erin can feel a cold sharp claw are on her neck.

Erin took her last sigh.

"(I wish Lily was okay, and live a long life)"

"SHAAAH?!"

Erin heard a sudden screech.

Erin open her eyes, and see...

"W-What the-?!"

Erin see something unbelievable.

A girl is standing between Erin and The Lady.

The Lady is startled, and growl angrily..

"GRRR... YOU..."

The girl just stood silently.

Erin can feel the claws are slightly moving away from her neck.

"..WHAT..DO..YOU...WANT..."

The Lady's red eyes are looking directly at the girl.

Erin feel a sudden urge to protect the girl.

"...GRR.."

Erin slip in between the girl and the Lady.

The Lady is startled, and slightly move her head back. Erin open her arms wide to protect the girl.

"This girl doesn't do anything wrong.. You prey is me, so keep this girl out."

"...GR..R.."

The Lady loon at Erin intensely, and chuckle.

"..HEHE.."

The Lady put her monster-like hands in front of Erin's face.

"..IF..YOU..WANT...ME...TO..SPARE...THIS...CHILD.."

"...STAB..YOURSELF..."

Erin is surprised by what the Lady's word. Erin look at the Lady's sharp claw that suddenly look more sharper and longer than before.

Erin can feel a drop of sweat run down from her forehead.

Erin look at the sharp claw, and hesitate to do what the Lady said.

Suddenly -

"Huh?"

The girl step forward to the Lady.

Erin is surprised, -

"Hey! Don't! You should go!"

Erin grab the girl shoulder, and trying to pull her back. But the girl doesn't budge at all by Erin's pull.

Erin felt something is not right. Erin can't see the girl face clearly.

"..GRR...DON'T...STOP...HER..."

The Lady is growling at the girl, and then bring her terrifying face closer to the girl face.

Erin is trying to pull the girl back with all of her power, but the girl won't budge at all.

Erin is trying to find a way to get the girl away, but then-

"..You're the one who should stop.."

A sudden light appear.

Erin is surprised by the sudden light. Erin look away from the light because of how bright it is.

Erin shield her eyes with her arm, and look at The Lady..

The Lady is back to her Lady form, and trying to shield the light as well with both of her arms.

Erin look at the girl.

The girl seem calm, and Erin is surprised by how calm the girl is.

Erin want to call out for the girl, but suddenly-

*WOOOSH!*

A sudden gush of wind starts to blow, and Erin is trying hard to keep her eyes open, but the wind is too strong, and it's starting to make Erin's eye hurt.

Erin try to call out for the girl.

"H-Hey! Let's get out from here!"

Erin is still trying to keep her eyes open, and then her vision starts to blurry.

A drop of tear come out from both of her eyes, and Erin still wants to keep both of her eyes open.

"Ugh! H-Hey!"

Erin call out for the girl again, and stretch out her right hand to the girl's direction.

"Let's get out from here!"

Erin still wants to try to get the girl to safety, but-

"...Sorry..."

The word come out from the girl's mouth.

Erin is surprised by the answer, and want to ask why,-

*WOOOOOSSSSHHHH!!!*

The wind is starting to be getting more and more strong and violent, and the light is getting even more brighter.

Erin's eyes can't keep up, even her body is having a hard time to stand still.

Erin is trying to stand still, and then-

"..?!"

The girl rotate her head, and even though it's hard to see clearly with the bright light, Erin can see the girl's mouth.

"..You have to go.."

Erin is surprised by the answer again, and then the light is getting more and more bright. Erin take a last look on the girl face before she close her eyes, and then she hear something familiar coming out from the girl's voice.

"..Because This Is My Promise.."
