The Side Effect

"Father! Ella!!!" 

Abel screamed as he ran towards their burning village. He was up in the mountains for his usual hunt when he noticed a huge cloud of smoke coming from their village. 

Understandably, he rushed back, only to find that everything was burning with mercenaries killing and burning everyone and everything everywhere they went.

Screams filled the entire area, and Abel ignored them all as he rushed to their burning hut. There, he saw his father Bert and Ella bathed in their own blood.

"Ella!!!" Abel screamed as quickly approached his pregnant wife. He cried as he quickly carried his wife in his arms, "Oh please, Ella… Please hang in there…" 

"Abel, I feel so cold," Ella weakly whispered. "I can't feel our baby moving inside of me…"

"No, hang in there, please," Abel cried out in hushed whispers. "I'll save you, Ella."
