Tran

I am running as fast as I can. My feet hurt... I think I'm bleeding and  my heart is beating so fast I can hear nothing but blood bumping through my veins. I can't let them take him , even if that means I have to die. My husband died fighting for the baby.I still remember his screams while they were burning him alive.Since then I am on the run.

I wanted to die , to leave this terrible world behind and close my eyes forever ,but I could't. At least not before I brought my beautiful boy in life. It has been only a few weeks since he was born. His name's Tran ,like my father. My father was a great man , he was my inspiration and my idol .

He was executed for fighting against our goverment. The system has changed dramatically the last decates. After the war between humans and Betas , after , we lost to humans, we were obliterated . Betas were people with special powers who could control and read minds, and they had the ability to  make you  feel things they wanted you to just by touching you. We scared them. It was only natural. But there was a time we lived in peace all together. I wasn't alive then but I've read the books.

The war lasted  more than 15 years. I wasn't alive when all this happened but my father was. He was a Beta too. When we lost he run and hided away. He did his best to keep us safe, but he as most Betas left was found and murdered too.

There are three things that can get you executed these days, firstly you should never turn against goverment ,second never kill somebody and finally be or hide a Beta. These three things are the ultimate sins of our society, and right now I am running for breaking one of the three rules. It wasn't his fault to be born a Beta, it wasn't mine either.

Little Tran, awe my sweet baby, I have to make sure he will be safe. My little sunshine , I know one day you will change the world like you family has been doing for centuries now. He is crying way too loud right now. I can hear the footsteps behind me, but I am almost there.

I am going to the one place I know I can go when I need to. The Serina Church.The  huge white tower is probably the only building in this city wich is not covered entirely by glass.

As I am approaching the building I hear no steps behind me. Tran has stopped crying so they must have lost us for a while at least.

I am wet and dirty from the rain outside. The warmth of the church makes me feel much better, I always feel better in here. Priest Kali will take care of you kiddo. Just like he did when I was younger.

"Gizzal  ! What happened to you? My poor girl come with me"

The first place they will search will be the church. I have to make sure Tran will be safe here but he will not if I stay with him.

"I can't ! Priest Kali you have to take him and keep him safe. His name is Tran ana None can ever know what he is! I'm begging you keep him safe. "

I hate to do this but I push the priest and the baby and after kissing his forehead I run out of the building. I have the blanket in my hands so it' seems like I'm holding the baby. People are too scared of Betas even if it's a baby we are talking about. They will not touch the baby, not even bother to check if it's still in my hands,or if the blanket is just empty , wich in this case it is.

They will execute me right away when they see me. Their guns are burning you alive and nothing remains of you. Goverment thought this would be a much easier way to kill someone, they are all sick but they will pay one day. Soon .

I feel a hand pushing me.My legs are scratched and my whole body is bleeding. The blood that covers me is actually warming me up .I am ready to go. I'm leaving knowing that I have left my mark on this world. I feel the wind trough my hair , I don't know if it's because of the helicopter above me or the weather is just getting worse but I enjoy it for the last time. I'll miss these little things but I know I'm going somewhere better.

The light from the flames of the gun are causing my eyes to close , and the warmth of the flames is hugging my body. I breathe in , I breath out . For the last time.
