Chapter 37: GOLDEN EAGLE

"It hurts!... am I going to die?" a little girl said to his elder brother while caressing her knees and crying. She scraped her knee when she stumbled to the ground in the backyard of their house.

"No, you're not going to die. it's just a small scratch...don't worry it'll heal in no time." her older brother said, blowing her knee to ease the pain and hugging her tight.

"Are we going to die here, Eli?" asked the young Yule, tears flowing down her cheeks. They're being held hostage in a filthy place. Eli wraps his arms around her and takes her hands in his.

"No, we're not," Eli answered, his teeth clenched and his voice agitated. "We'll get out of here and make them pay for what they did to us."
