" I promise I will protect you at any cost " 
" Thank you for coming into my Life I love you . " 
Jennie envelope Marvin in an embrace. 


***********
" Who ever did this to you is going to pay with his or her life I promise you that " . A very harsh voice echoed in an empty room
 " Thanks I know you will always help me " . 
Valerie said and embrace her sister in the dark sobbing and her sister clenched her fist in anger. 


*******************
" Don't be scared I will be here for you .forever love " . Egbert said and placed soft kisses on Mary's fore head as she gave him a tight hug

" Sometimes I feel like pushing you off the cliff and running down to the bottom to catch you . You kinda affect me emotionally and get me angry most times but I won't hurt you and don't be scared of me . I will protect and always be here for you ". Rhoderic said close to Odet's ear . 
And she nodded smiling . 


*************************
" Right now I think I know the way you are feeling but it can't change a thing. But did you really think I would love someone else other than you ??" .
She didn't say a word and it made me feel am talking to myself. 
I took her face in my hands . 
" Did you ??" 
She only nodded and I smiled a bit and pulled her in for a hug .
" I love you more than anything in the world and I will protect you from your enemies and fake people ".
" Is that a promise ?" 
" Yes it is ".

PROTECTED

     Actually life on the street was pretty amazing . No Valerie and I get to eat whatever I like . I made a new friend her name is Alicia but I call her Ali . she is way older than me but was very discipline and beautiful. 


  Sometimes I don't even know what am doing but I was just doing things unusual and stupid. Sometimes I burst into loud laughter or I cry every single tears out . The both of us stayed in a little cottage . 


  My wicked step sister seems to like me alot as she keeps hunting me round the city . It has been two weeks since I have been alone with Ali  and I was getting used to it . A little girl like me on the street , just nineteen years on this difficult planet Earth. 


  Since I was a dish maid , I was used to that hard life it was easy for me to earn money . Ali was also hard working she provides alot for the both of us . There was a man always begging her to come back home but Ali always refuse . I work in a very rich family with two twin who always make me go mad .


  Something weird happened today , I have been waiting for Ali to come back but she didn't return . I was so scared how will I even sleep. 


" There she is " . I heard a very familiar voice . 


It was my worst enemy . Valerie she was with that man wearing mask .He grabbed me harshly . 


" No where left to run " . Valerie said close to my ear .


" We are going home dear no more street life " . 


" I don't want to go anywhere with you " . I sounded like a scared child . 


" You should have been dead by now I refuse to kill you so that can still keep signing me those papers and I get all the money , all the power , all the fame and you get nothing " . Valerie said has she stuck my hair behind my ear. 


      " And you are so kind  . Now take her to the car and  throw her into the boot . Be fast " .The mask man nod and was about to pick me up when I bite his hand as hard as I can and ran away . 


" You Idiot . Go after her " Valerie shouted at the top of her voice . 


I was as fast as the wind . It was easy for me to run cause I have been doing that always . The rain didn't resist as it fell heavily  making my vision blurry but I couldn't stop not now when he is catching up.


Soon I was at the middle of the road and I was run over by a car . 


   Death here I come , welcome me into your humble world of darkness. 


Or maybe am not dead yet cause am in no heaven or hell . Everywhere was dark . I can't even see thing . But I could feel I was lying down on a bed . I tried to seat up but I can't my body ache and I whimper in pain as I made an attempt . My head , feet , legs face were all band .


   Why did I survive I wanted to die that made  me remember Valerie . Maybe am kept here by her because everywhere was dark . I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep . 


Is it day or night ? I don't even know. 


Oh no . A gasped escaped my lips as I shot my eyes open wide . I heard footsteps walking towards me and soon stopped. I felt someone towering over me . I felt icy fingers on my ear and soon on my hair . 


Those cold fingers travel down to my nose and soon on my lips. 


 After a long while , I heard the door closed quietly . 


Did the person even move to the door . I was so scared .


" Pearl , Mom , Ali " . I called after a while hopping one of them will answer my call but every where was dead , silent , cold , dark like a grave site .
