The shouting of the guards fills the air and I turn back to my mother and father. "What's happening?!" I cry. My mom places her hand on my head and wipes my tears.
"It's okay. You don't have to be scared, mommy and daddy will deal with this." I nod and cling to my father's pants. He looks down at me with an unsure smile. "Lucy no matter what whenever you see anyone in uniform run. Okay?"
I nod and my father ruffles my hair. Both my parents pull me into a hug. "You go run into the forest and don't stop. Don't worry we'll be right behind you." I nod and my parents pull away.
The sound of shouting and footsteps get louder and I turn to the forest. I give one last glance to my parents before I take off running into the woods.
I run and run and run.
But my parents never catch up with me.
