How such could happen was beyond me.
The house was a huge mess.
Things were scattered and broken like there was a huge fight that had happened right here. There was blood. Blood?
Wait!
Where's me-maw?
A whole new sense of fear washed over me like cold night air.
If she had left, there would be a sign or something that she would leave behind.
"me-maw?" my voice was shaky.
It was taking a whole lot for me not to cry. I could barely see. No, she's fine. Maybe she's hiding or something. Nothing happened to her.
When a ghastly cough reached my ears, I ran to the sound.
It was coming from a corner of the house cluttered with debris and a huge plank atop something. Gathering enough strength, I took it off.
There she was.
Me-maw was bleeding with a wound that was by the right side of stomach. There were bruises over her arms. She had put up a struggle.
"me-maw? W-what happened?" I cuddled her limp body close to mine.
This can't happen, at least not now.
Not when we're going to be free at long last.
Not when we planned to escape.
Why today?
"Lyra? T-they came; you have to run" she was acting scared and using up the last of her energy.
"Who came?" I was fighting back my tears but was failing miserably.
"vampire soldiers. They took everything and I tried to fight them" she coughed again.
Blood was still oozing out of her and it was scaring me. Everything felt off its hilts.
"you have to get out of here. It's not safe!" me-maw gripped unto my hand.
"I'm not going to leave you. Let me heal your injuries" I didn't know where I was going to get someone or something to fix her but I knew I had to.
"There's no use anyway. I'm already too old" me-maw tried to laugh but it turned into a cough instead.
The first tear drop fell from my cheek.
"you have to promise me something" she began to pant, struggling to breathe.
Her time was running out.
My breathing was heavy.
"me-maw stay with me, please" I could barely see what was happening.
Tears had blocked my vision.
"promise me, you'll go to Mystveil. All the answers are there"
"me-maw I-"
"Just promise me!" if she wasn't dying, she would've yelled at me.
What other choice do I have?
Me-maw has done so much for me and if this is the only way to repay her, then I'll do it.
Slowly I nodded my head.
"thank you" was all she said before her eyes fluttered shut. There was an eerie silence.
NO!
THIS CAN'T BE IT!
I can't lose me-maw, at least not now!
