บท 249: A Child's Love 2

"Why do you think Mother hates us just because we look like her?" a small high-pitched voice that sounded so ugly was heard at the back of the dark cave.

"Shhh.. don't talk too loudly. There will be an echo. You know that Mother's wound heals very fast. She might wake up and see us." The bigger of the two whispered in the darkness. They had lived for two years hiding from their mother. They have watched a lot of their siblings who were not like them die.  He and her sister were special just like their mother.

When their mother went out of the cave earlier, they followed her silently keeping a distance. They saw the three strange creatures that somehow resembled their faces but they did not have bodies like them. They only have four limbs that look like theirs but they don't have the extra 8 thin hairy legs that they used for crawling.
