A Mother's Determination System

Chapter 20

N/A: I'll be updating on random schedule, since school started again :__D 

<First Perspective, Elizabeth> 

... Honesty it's- 

No, I have to stay in the middle. 

If i go into a shop, there's no guarantee that I'll be free. I'd probably end up getting surrounded.

I can't stay in front of the crowd, since if someone comes out with a sword, they might accidentally strike the person behind me. Like what that woman said. 

I might get them killed. 

... I... 

Then... 

Should I run?

...

If I run, what happens to Neo? 

...

I'm not leaving him in the hands of a stranger.

But... 

I can't stay here, because I will get caught. 

I'll be thrown into chains either way...

.

... I'll probably have to disappoint granny Zhou... 

.

.

.

Yeah- 

Oh. 

Su Young. 

...

Why didn't I think of that earlier?

 I can just tell Su Young. 

That way, I could save a lot more trouble; I'll probably pass by his shop when we leave, and he could go find Neo. 

Not only that, but I'd assume that the other guys behind me, might feel inclined to watch over him too. 

The gallops came closer, and there were a few individual ones that were distinctive from the rest. I had no idea what was happening, but the sudden change in pace started to rush a sense of impatience through me.

"Woman, you better not run off with my boy." I managed to warn in the best intimidating tone I could muster, while looking towards the end of the visible street in an anticipation. I unconsciously started to cutch my clothes, wrinkling them with nail marks with a neurotic tension in my neck; the paralysis froze my entire body like stone. 

It was as if my fingers were squeezing for the sole reason of wakening me from this unrealistic mini-boss battle. 

I couldn't glance at the woman anymore, I couldn't even fathom on turning my head; someone would have to cut my nape, and do it manually if they wanted to. 

I was terrified. 

More than I ever thought.

I didn't want to die. 

... I'm going to die.
