by a tree watching the excitement around the
house, Sophie jumps as something brushes her leg.
Looking down she discovers a cat walking and purring
around her legs.
Smiling at it, she leans down and
picks the tabby up.
"And just where did you come
from", turns it abit and finds what shes looking for,
hoping she has it right, ",,,, um,, mister cat".
A
light from the house begins to glow against the trees.
Glancing back she watches as the house appears to be on
fire. A smile crosses her face as she knows her months
of hell are now over.
Sophie watches the people
gather in the yard, talking happily about their
adventure here. She spots the pretty lady being hauled up
in front of one man, she appeared to be unconsious.
She saw the bruises and cuts on her, shaking her head
sadly, she was glad thats all the butcher had done to
her having witnessed the last woman that man created.
Sophie looked at each and everyone in the yard, but she
didn't see the one sought. He didn't seem to be anywhere
outside. Looking back at the house, it now completely
engulfed in flames, Sophie held her breath looking for the
man from the door.
Suddenly someone came from the
house out of the front door. The man on fire walked
out. Shaking her head smiling, she knew she would have
to thank him one day soon.
Turning her attention
back to the house, she dropped the cat and started
walking towards it. She had to know what happened to the
man,, 'Akira,, was that the name he told me?'
As she
drew nearer to the side of the house, a movement to
her right caught her eye(back of the house). As she
looked closer, Sophie recognized the man.
Running to
him, she didn't realize the cat had followed her. As
they both reached him about the same time, Sophie
watched as the cat went right to him, licking his face.
Some how she knew they were together. Looking down at
the man, Sophie made sure he was still alive before
taking off to the others.
Walking up at the fierce
looking woman, Sophie in awe of the warrior woman, found
her voice after a few minutes and told her about the
man in he back.
" Ma'am, one of your men is hurt
at the back of the house".
Not waiting for a
reply, Sophie back away from her and the others and took
off into the trees and home.
