In the middle of the night there is a man with a sword running desperately on the road with his children.
The sky is so dark that there isn't a trace of moon or stars but the flame from the burning castle is making the outskirts visible from the human eyes.
The hands of the twelve year old boy and girl are entwined and determined to not let go of each other.
As they run, pursuers are coming with their arrows and swords aimed at the family.
The man is skilled and he successfully defended his children for sometime as they escape.
The man continue to escape and a man someone who looks like someone the man knows appeared.
The man with the child looked happy because of the appearance of this man but as he is smiling with joy the guy stabbed the man in front of his children.
The man instantly realized that he is being betrayed by this person he thought an ally and with all his might he grab his sword trying to kill the bastard.
The man only manage to graze the face of the bastard and with his last breath he said "Stay alive Charles and Charlotte... I love you both very much... I'm sorry I can't protect you till the end"
The cries of the little boy and girl echoes in the place as their father lost its breath.
The children ran desperately from the man who killed their father.
The boy thought why would their uncle do this to them.
They arrived in front of a small building. They entered and hide in that small, cramped place.
The boy and girl kept as quiet as they could to lost the pursuers.
No footsteps enter the small building and the kids felt relieved but the pursuers decide to do a very hideous thing.
Soldiers with torch and oil in their hands approach the surrounding of the building and started to burn the place.
The boy and girl didn't notice the fire until it is too late.
The girl cry and while her brother is trying so hard to think how to escape.
The brother is trying so hard to stop his tears from falling.
"Charlotte we need to live. We will live" the brother said
After he said those words tears from his eyes is falling so endlessly.
