Black smoke twisted its way up into the clear night sky as the two figures ran throw the forest, franticly trying to out run their poseurs.

A scream precede the air that mad the women looked behind her in alarm, the little boy at her side looked franticly around at the woods around them.

The women stopped and looked around for a moment, finding a low bush, she pulled the little boy over to it.

“I need you to get under this bush and stay there. Okay? No madder what, you have to stay under this bush, you under stand?”

The boy nodded “But what are you going to do mommy?”

His mother looked him in the eyes as more screams filled they air “Don’t you worry about me okay? I’ll tray to come back, but I may not be able to. You under stand that right?” he nodded “Okay I need you to get under there now”

With tears in his voice he answered “Okay” Turning to the bush he lay down to claim under it.

“Tack this!” his mother handed him a ring "I love you" she kissed her finger and laid them on his forhead, "Remember that." standing she turned to and startted to run.

Curling up in a ball, the boy watched as his mother despaired into the woods, the thin gold ring clasped title in his small hand.
