I Was So Scared

When I reached the top, all the men were lying on the ground.

Some were missing their hands, some their legs.

Blood was coming out of some, and some were just lying on the ground because of the big hole in their chest.

Daulla crushed the head of the last man, as blood gushed out of his body, covering both mine and Daulla's face red with blood.

"Dau...lla?"

"Lil...Das"

The ground itself was dyed red with their blood.

"Lil...Das. You are...okay?"

Daulla slowly approached me and touched my face with her red hands, and hugged me.

"I am sorry, Lil Das"

I...I...

"Please forgive me"

I hugged back and said, "I am glad you are okay"

She is okay.

I am glad she is okay.

I could feel her heartbeat on my chest. It was beating like crazy.

"Lil Das"

"Thank you for being safe"

"I was so scared"

"Me too"

"I thought I lost you"

"Me too"
