*pant ,pant*

Scared ,
He was scared...
Rushing through the dark woods,
Running with everything he got
He lost the number of times He stumbled
But he could care less at the moment
All he could do was to run...
He was scared
Very scared
He wanted to go and rush
to his safe place
He wanted to be held in that
tight embrace,
He wanted to cry out loud.

It was dark , chilly all over
These woods were too haunting
for the 6 year old ...

Only his small small pants were heard,
Even after running for hours
All that came in his vision was
the vast trees...
The never ending forest.
As if he was stuck in a mirage
which kept on repeating .

His pants were torn ,
He had wounds all over his body ,
Blood kept stick to the pants
And all the much..
It hurted him a lot .

Stones pricked his feet
with each step he took,
But he couldn't stop to take a look
He had to RUN!

His shaking hand ,
A revolver loaded in his hand,
His hold firm on it

His gasps echoed through the darkforest

Suddenly He heard sounds of people running  armed

Suddenly
He heard sounds of people
running armed..
He knew their destination ,
the innocent soul was afraid just
After hearing those sounds...
What would you expect from someone
who was forcefully brought to this
cruel and evil world of elders.

He hid himself behind the trees,
Clasping his mouth with his small hand
Filled with bruises,
Trying his best to hold his breathing,
Or they'll find him.

Tears were brimming his eyes,
He really didn't want to do this,
Why do they have to force him ?

But
He has to survive
He has too...
He has to save her,
Can't let her suffer there,
Not with that demon.

He shakily held that revolver upfront
He aimed it and undid the safety
and...

*bang*

"Sorry,I'm sorry"

He threw the revolver to the ground
And ran to the guy whom he shot.

He held that guy Trying to wake him up
Tears flowing out of his eye one by one
For the first time ,
He killed someone ,
Someone innocent .

"SORRY, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY "

He pleaded to someone he knew
would not hear ,
Still....

But he can't stop
He can't stay here
He has to run,
Give that demon the proof ,
He has to save her..

He stood up slowly Trying to gain back the strength that he lost,
He stumbled as his leg was numb
Due to the shock.
And he started running again.
