With your silhouette castings shadows of your lovely face. I watch the sky as a million dreams are shining. Little dreams, little dreamers.

•Narrator's POV•

Through laboured breaths Ruelle prayed that they would escape this situation unscathed for the sake of their children and the love of her life fighting to keep them safe. She didn't want her to feel her efforts were in vain.

KABOOM!!!

The rusted steel door that was their last line of protection flew from it's hinges making them both let out a loud horrified scream as they scrambled in a corner, creating some distance from the intruder.

"Mhm,Mhm,Mhm. They really put in the effort to hide you two didn't they. Too bad it was for nothing" said the witch as she stepped inside.

She ran over and grabbed Ruelle's throat. In a panic Martina took a big swing at the back of the witch's head which made her let Ruelle go.

Ruelle heaved to catch her breath from the burning grip.

"Did you just touch me you grotty human!" Hecate seethed holding her head and falling unto the ground.

"Shit that was easy" Martina quipped dropping the rock unto the ground.

"Too easy" Ruelle muttered checking on the sleeping infants.

"Gosh why aren't they like this when it's night time. Miriam and I could have gotten more sleep" Ruelle said as she kissed her God son on the head as he sucked on his fingers while laying down.

"Kwah"

Ruelle head snapped to the sound to see Martina eyes wide in horror.

Martina coughed up blood, a few remnants of it landed right on Ruelle's face. The tall, red skin, dark eyed woman towered over her with a huge triumphant grin. Martina looked down at her stomach to see a dagger lodged through her.

Her frightened gaze went to Ruelle before Hecate withdrew it from her making Martina land on the ground with a thud.

Upon hearing that Zenith was up and rubbed his eyes and looked over at his mother before rushing over to her body and started dragging her.

"Mama, Mama, kay?" he asked as she smiled up at him. Ruelle looked up at Hecate as she stood by and watched the sight in glee.

"Don't worry your going with your wretched mother very soon little abomination" she raised her dagger to strike him as Martina tried protesting. Ruelle's hand grabbed the rock.

"BOOM, CRASH !!!"

The huge collision made Ruelle jump to cover her children but within a few seconds she heard screaming of an enraged witch.

Two firey hands squeezed her but she didn't stop cursing and shouting.

"You won't get rid of me that easily!" she choked out before pointing her lower finger out.

The firey hands squeezed tighter making her head spin right off.

The witch's head now laid a few feet away from her body. Right as a dark mist went off lowering over her small body, Hina awoke with a loud cry.

"Hey, it's okay" Ruelle consoled grabbing her arms. Kaz and Zora were awake as well and just stared at their mother.

Ruelle looked up to see the firey hands were gone. Her gaze then averted to find Zenith.
