" Aurora, my daughter, go, you have to go from here ....mom dad loves you ....just go and remember that you have to live for us no matter what you face..... just go...."

A lady who was wearing luxurious White dress which was full of indifferent pattern of blood said while lying on floor helplessly, her dark black hair were covering her pale skin. Her voice was terrified and shaking. She looked at her seven year old daughter who was crying and then she pushed her and crawled towards a man with all of her strength who was laying near her and lastly, she held his hand with her red hands, after holding his hand she took a deep breath and put her head on the chest of him . She looked at Aurora for last time with her crystal blue eyes which were full of tears and closed her eyes and that room filled with loud voice of sobbing of Aurora.

"There…. there kill her" three men with guns start running towards them .

"Miss, we have to run...come with me"an injured girl of 25 years held Aurora and ran from there and when she sensed that those men were coming near her, she jumped from window and hid into dark bushes.

"Find them they must be near .....find them and kill that girl"

A man who wearing a luxury suit shouted they could look at his luxurious leather shoes which had stains of blood.

Ramona put her hand on Aurora's mouth so that those People can't hear them.

"Miss don't worry we will be safe " she said softly to her. Her body was shaking and there were deep cuts on her hands and her right leg was bleeding. After an eternity every thing become silent she took Aurora in her hands and ran away with all her left strength and reached at the crowded place.

As they walked through the crowded streets, Ramona kept a close eye on their surroundings, making sure they weren't being followed.

"Stay close to me" She whispered as they maneuvered through the crowd.

Aurora nodded, her heart pounding in her chest. She clutched onto Ramona's hand, grateful to have someone by her side in this terrifying ordeal.

Together, they disappeared into the maze of the city, determined to outrun their past and build a new future, free from the clutches of those who sought to harm them.

Ramona noticed that some man wearing black clothes are looking here and there in crowd. She hold Aurora and went into back alleys and hidden pathways to avoid any potential danger and went into two floored house and said "you have to trust me and do whatever I ask " . Aurora noded silently and then she took a scissor and cut down long hair of Aurora and changed her clothes into a old clothes which were of some boy. She did some makeup on Aurora so that she look like a boy and could hide her moles and skin color. She distinguished Aurora as a boy and changed her clothes which were full of blood.

They were about to leave that house but a loud voices stopped her. "Ramona , is that you" Ramona looked at that middle aged lady and tears start coming out from her dark eyes like she is feeling pain of every scratch on her body she said,"Mom, I have to go to pay my debts. Take care of yourself and of brother" Her mother went towards her and arranged Ramona's long hair and tied them tightly. "From today you are not supposed to talk about me and and my job", Ramona said and left that house without turning back and could only hear her mother voice where she was crying like someone is dead.

They found a small café and decided to take a break, sitting at a table in the corner where they could have a clear view of the entrance.

Ramona ordered some food and drinks for both of them, trying to ease the tension that had built up during their escape. Aurora couldn't help but feel grateful for her bravery and determination to keep her safe.

As they went out she gave Aurora a hat and sunglasses to further disguise her appearance. Once they were ready, they carefully made their way towards the city's outskirts, avoiding any attention from the checking authorities.

As they entered entrance of bus stop Ramona took a deep breath, trying her best to appear calm. She saw some men in black and a police officer. Police officer stopped her and looked them over suspiciously.

"Where are you two going?" he asked, his eyes lingering on Aurora.

"He is my little brother," she replied confidently, pointing to Aurora. "We're going to stay with our aunt in the city."

The officer nodded, seemingly satisfied with the explanation, and waved them through.

They both let out a collective sigh of relief as they entered. They knew their journey was far from over, but at least they had made it past the first hurdle.

Finally, after what felt like hours, they entered into a bus. Ramona bought two tickets to a neighboring town, ensuring they would put more distance between them and their pursuers. They boarded the bus and found seats towards the back, trying to blend in with the other passengers.

As the bus pulled away, Aurora couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. She knew they still had a long way to go, but with Ramona by her side, she felt a renewed sense of hope. They were determined to leave their past behind and start anew, far away from the dangers that had plagued them.
