A naive mistake - I

Knocking on the door of her neighbours apartment, Evelyn had a huge smile on her face as it opened and her daughter ran towards her. 

"Mummy!" Arabella ran and hugged her legs immediately and squeezed them as tightly as she could. "I missed you so much!" 

Evelyn chuckled. She reached down and put arabella into her arms making the little one grab her legs around her waist. Her heart might be in the happiness and warmth it felt. 

"Hello you," she whispered into her neck and took in the baby scent. "I miss you so much, my baby." She nuzzled into her neck making Arabella giggle.

This was the reason that she had to kidnap and kill people but she was fine with it. These people who were no better and had done much worse than what Evelyn was doing.

At least her reason was to protect someone so innocent.
