"The Alluring Woman was once vigorous, everyone adore her. Her life was precocious. She is watched by the lustful eyes of men. Her golden hair shines whenever she dances gracefully which make their world crumble."

I listened to my mother as she tells me her own story over and over again. She tucked me into bed while stroking my hair while she tells me the story entitled The Alluring Woman and The Chivalrous Man. I never get tired of listening it. I don't like fairytale books that she used to read me because it was always the same, it just always end with happy ending cliché. I love her own stories because it was like Grimm Brothers stories that ends badly.

And I love it.

Mama continues, "Almost all men wanted her to be their wife. But the only man that the Alluring Woman had chosen was the Dignified Man. Envious men are looking at him with bitterness and strife."

I smiled at her and yawn, "Please continue, Mama."

"She loved him and will do anything just for the Dignified Man she adore. And the Dignified Man did the same. Years had passed, The Alluring Woman realized that the man she loves didn't love her no more."

I yawn again, my eyes are too heavy to watch Mama tells me her story. She continued telling the rest of her story until all I can remember was, "The Alluring Woman killed the Dignified Man she loved."

I felt Mama stood up from the end of my bed and flicked off the lights. I fell asleep and didn't let my mother end her story.

It was in the middle of the night when I hear a loud bang downstairs. I removed my blanket around me and lifted my small legs and hopped down from my bed. Rubbing my eyes, I then heard another loud bang followed by a deafening scream of my mother.

"Mama!" I screamed at the top of lungs. I rushed to open my door and jogged downstairs. This little body is hopeless because I move slower than I needed to.

What happened to Mama?

Where's Papa?

My tears are starting to flow, I coughed when I see smoke coming from the living room.

I don't know what is happening, all I can see is that our house is burning.

"Mama! Papa!" I cried through the smoke. Our furnitures are now burning, flames are everywhere.

"Alina!"

I heard Mama's voice in the kitchen, so I did my best to get there. My nightgown is ripping off because of the flames, and a wood fell over me.

"Mama!" I fell on my knees and cried over my burnt skin on my left arm. That's when I saw Mama trapped on a fallen ceiling, I cried out loud because she's burning too! I couldn't see her clearly because of the fire smoke.

"Mama I'm here! Mama!" I screamed at her, she looked at me, her eyes are scared and then I saw the monster again. It's pointed claws are gripping her burned arm, she was covered in blood and my mother is crying.

The monster's crimson eyes sliced through mine, I screamed in horror. It was the scariest face I've ever seen; ragged bloody skin, sharp teeth, and black twirling horn. It was going to take my Mama, no..

The remaining ceiling is cracking and there were falling debris everywhere. Mama was still in the hands of the red eyed monster.

I can't stand up because my little body is still trapped with a fallen wood and my skin is throbbing. I want my Mama..

"Alina!" I gasped when someone took out the wood from my body and carried me in his arms.

"Papa!" I cried and burried my little face in his ripped and burned shirt. "The monster will take Mama.."

Papa wrapped his arms around me tighter, "Shh don't cry, I will save your Mama." He said with a hoarse voice. A part of me knew that Papa is hurt, he has burned skin too and blood trickling his head.

I didn't know what happened next because my eyes are closed, and then I heard that the front door crashed open and Papa and I were outside. Cold air welcomed me, I saw that the ground is filled with snow. It's winter.

Papa is running away with me from our burning house.

"Papa what about Mama?" I cried.

Papa put me down beside the willow tree, he took off his shirt and wrapped it around my body, warming me from the cold night.

"Stay here Alina, I will get your mother." He kissed my forehead and he sprinted away towards our burning house.

I watch him ran to our house and got inside, I waited for them to get out safe but everything exploded.

"Mama! Papa!!!"
