Nightmare

"Catch her and get that baby."

"We have to capture them or the great empress will punish you all."

"Don't hurt her. Capture them alive. Great empress will punish them herself."

In the dark, a woman ran carrying her baby deep inside the forest where even the light from the moon could not reach its surface. 

In the dark nothing was visible as the baby opened her eyes only to cry but a hand covered her mouth and the woman continued to run as she kept mumbling in a low voice, "Shh..don't cry. We will soon be safe, Mother will protect you."

Between the various sounds around that came from so many people running on the ground covered with dried leaves and twigs from the trees sacttered everywhere, there was a sudden loud sound.

Thud!

Ahh..!

A sudden bright light appeared from somewhere and the next moment everything went dark. 

"My Queen!"
