A Mother's Heart

A Mother's Heart IV

Huh... What's that?

...

...

...

...

I opened the curtain to see many...
Normal people.

Who don't bite.
Or have blood on them.

Maybe... Mom is here!

I then put on my shoes and try to be sneaky to avoid noise...

Tents were surrounding the place.
Filled with normal people who were hurt.

I should ask someone maybe they know what she looks like.

I approached someone, great thing I have a photo of her..

Excuse me sir! Do you know this person? I showed a picture of my mom.

He looked at me

Oh sorry kid I don't know who that is.

He got down to my level

Hey why are you alone hm?

He touched my hair

I can help you find your mother.

He can find my mother! But... I don't feel safe with him.. Aside from that, my mother I can find her!

Okay! Then I grabbed his hand.

Walking and walking...
The whole day we asked a lot of people.. but still no is the answer..

The path became narrow and dark
He turned.

Uhm... Sir? Are you sure that we are suppose to go here? I asked

Hey you trust me do you? We have to look for your mom right?

Hm we are going very far now...

Yeah... I yawned

I can carry you if you're tired.
He offered his hands

To sleepy to make a decision I straight up went up to him.

He held me in his arms

He smells like my dad too... Ellie thought.

Just call me Ellie sir... My eyes close wrapping my hands on his shoulders.

Good night Ellie...

I hope your sleeping...

The man then brought Ellie to an abandoned shack house...

He then lay her down on a chair... Wrapping her with ropes.

He looked at an empty jar

Ellie... So beautiful... Stay like that for a while...

A phone rang

Later then... The man left

Meanwhile Ellie still lying on the chair, a cockroach approached her face.

Eh.. what's this.. I tried to throw the cockroach but...

Huh why am I in ropes.

Ah I knew that guy was bad..

I tried to get off the ropes, thank god my body is small.

I managed to got out.

Ah where should I go. I gasped for air because there are no windows.

If I stay here for a long time he might catch me or worse..

What the!

I saw...
A jar...
Inside it's a human brain?!

I heard sounds near the door

I lay next to the door, listening.

Hey Angie I found another kid.

Let me guess...

A girl?

You got it!

Alright great.

Uhm how about that kid?

Uh Shelly? Oh that kid I don't know yet, he has been of great help to us y'know?

Having a kid in our group makes it hard...

All right he's yours after I'm done with him.

Shelly... I have to tell him!
Ellie then moved to the side... She accidentally fell the jar.

The brains!

I think she woke up, be right back An..

He hanged up

I have to hide!
Ellie spotted a vent

She ran to the vent even though it was really dusty.

Then the door open

Ellie...

Ellie?

Don't hide from me? I just wanted to look for your mom...

I was just being kind...

Yet you hid from me? Is your mom going to be happy when you repay kind people like that?

Ellie tried to cover her mouth wiping her tears...

Don't cry right now Ellie..!

Come out now...Ellie.

This is not funny.

Are you here?
He lifted a box then approached near me.

Hm..
He lifted the white cloth...

Then the cover of the vent opened
