"I can't let him find me! Heaven knows what he'll do when he finds out I've escaped. I need to get to Wukong before it's too late, hopefully he can take care of you."
The woman looks down in her arms and slightly pushes a blanket out of the way. A baby girl opens her eyes and coos at her mother.
"Don't worry my sweet angel I won't let that awful man hurt you."
A loud crash noise is heard from the distance, followed by a deep voice yelling.
"[ ] You have something that belongs to me! Don't think you can just get away!"
The woman quietly yelps and starts running towards a temple.
"Come on, come on! I'm almost there!" The woman says under her breath.

(???: POV)
As I'm meditating I hear a female screaming in pain in the distance. I exit my temple only to see my friend [ ] being attacked brutally by a man. She's holding a... baby? I rush over and shove the man back. The force of the shove throws him into a nearby tree, knocking him out. I look back to see my friend severally wounded crying while holding the baby close.
"[ ] Are you alright?!? Who's baby is that?!? Hold on let me get something to patch you up first!" I start to run inside but my wrist is grabbed, holding me in place with a killer grip.
"[ ] What are you doing?! Let go! I need to get supplies or you'll die out here!" I continue to rant about how if she doesn't let me go she won't make it.
" Wukong Shut up and listen! I won't survive even if you give me all the medicine in the world. He has injected me with a posion that has no cure." She stares at me with empty eyes.
"What?! No you can't die! You're my best friend, you can't just leave me!" I say trying to hold back tears.
"Wukong please... I don't have much time but I need you to promise me something."
"Anything [ ]...."
"Please take care of my daughter, raise her to be strong like you. Promise me you'll do your best to raise her. I trusted you with my life and now I'm asking to trust you with hers."
"I can't raise a kid! I'm a legendary hero not a legendary father figure!"
She starts to cough out blood and her eyes start to close.
"No,no, no! Come on [ ] don't close those eyes, I'm begging you!"
" I'm sorry Wukong looks like my time is up." She smiles warmly as he eyes fully close and her body goes limp"
I start to cry, no I start to sob. She was my best friend and now she's gone. I'll honor her wish and try to raise this baby to be the very best. I pick the baby up gently, and turn around so the little one doesn't see [ ]'s corpse.
"What am I even supposed to call you?" As if magic a piece of paper falls out of the blanket the baby is wrapped in. I read the paper and smile at the baby.
" Lydia huh? Somehow I think that name suits you little one."
I goes inside and rock the baby to sleep, I then put the baby on my bed and walk outside. Staring at the lifeless body of my dearest friend I grab a shovel and start to dig a grave.
"I promise I'll do my best for you."
(Sorry if it's cringe! It's my first time writing in this style and I hope it was easy to understand!)
