RUN!

"Let's move!" he yelled running down the narrow passage surrounded by flesh, glancing back at the two boys beside him. His nose picking up the scent of the cold snow.

A memory of his younger self staring at sister Agnes's dead body lying on ground as Mother Theresa tossed the spade on the ground came back to his mind. "Mr. Fisher, clean this up," she ordered the pale thin man who nodded before heading for the door.

Paul quickly applied breaks as Barbara suddenly crashed through the wall and landed inside the following room, which he realized had a window which wasn't yet covered by the flesh. The dark sorcerer appeared heading for her slamming against her onto another room.

"Come!" Paul yelled.

They followed him inside the dark room heading for the window. He violently opened it, cold breeze whooshing inside. The sight of the few cannibals fighting one cannibal which had a great axe which was being controlled by Hector, while William moved the steep snow off the sleigh, with the help of Jack came to his view.

Anna lied inside the sleigh, rolled with a blanket and there was no sight of Charles.

"PAUL! CHARLES DEAD! I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU TOO!" Barbara's words returned.

His forehead wrinkled. "That's far," said the boy with chestnut hair, looking down.

"Listen to me, you try going down there and dodge those huge creatures, you see those people at the end, they are going to help you, take you to paradise are we clear?"

"Are you not coming?" the blonde-haired child asked.

"I am, but I have to first, finish something here,"

"How will we get down? What if they hurt us?" the boy with chestnut hair asked.

"Fine, I'll take you to them, all of you," he said getting out the window and standing on the balcony. The two followed him out.

He realized there were too far from the bottom. He glanced at the two children and back at the ground. "It's too far," the blonde-haired boy complained.

"Okay, let's all ho..."

A Baphomet suddenly appeared from nowhere knocking the balcony off as they all went tumbling onto the ground.

His eyes caught sight of the baby get tossed out of the basket. "No you don't," he mumbled, tightening his grip on the girl in his hand, reaching his hand onto the baby.

He caught the baby, which touched his arm, sending him into another time.

The sound of canons being fired filled his ears as he ran up the endless corridor, screams from children filling his ears. Finally he reached the outside and the sight of thousand ships came to his view as his eyes widened. All the children running up the hill toward him. "Save us Paul!"

He finally snapped out of that time and came back to the presence. That was when he realized they were all on the ground and the pieces of the balcony were levitating above them. His eyes widened as he stared at the giggling child, reaching for the levitating objects. Was it the one that made the pieces of the stone balcony levitate?

The cannibal carrying the wooden house turned to a huge tree. What was going on?

"LITTLE PAUL!" William's voice yelled.

He quickly got up and saw William in a distance waving. "Everyone go!" pointing at where William was.

Everyone started running, dodging the cannibal's feet, running for William. If Charles was really gone, how was...

They finally reached William who came to them, taking the baby and the out-conscious baby from Paul's hands "Everyone in the sleigh," he ordered the two new children who ran for the sleigh, heading for the sleigh. "We got to move,"

Paul stopped. "I can't come,"

William turned to face him, his forehead knitted. "I have to go get Miss. Barbara, you must all leave,"

"Little Paul, you can't go back there, Barbara said once you are out, we must leave and you've got your sister,"

"She's dead," his voice sounded shaky, tears running down his cheeks. "Pamela my sister is dead, it ate her core,"

William's eyes widened. "Little Pau..."

"I'm sorry Sir Will, I'm not leaving Miss. Barbara, Charles has already lost his soul because of me, I can't also let her lose her soul," moving backwards.

"Little Paul, listen to me, come back here," reaching his hand toward him.

Suddenly Barbara in her serpent form flew out the wooden house that was tumbling down, as she landed a few distance from them. "I'm sorry," running back, for Barbara.

"Paul!" Jack yelled, getting on his feet limping after him but William held his arm. "Don't, we leave,"

He then looked up at Hector and noticed all the other cannibals were racing for Miss. Barbara. "Oh no,"

"They are heading for Miss. Barbara," Jack said, pulling his shot gun from his arm. Hector screamed crazily running after the cannibals. Jack also ran past William. "Children!"

They were already gone. He turned to face the remaining children. "Everyone under the blanket," heading for the sleigh, putting the unconscious girl and baby under the blankets along the two boys.

"We cannot leave them," Anna softly spoke.

"Anna?" he said, rushing to her, holding. Tears rolling out his eyes. "My big girl."

"Are you crying?" she asked.

"No, I'm just happy,"
