Chapter 25 - Mother

Eve could smell the rusty metal and wood in the air. The floor beneath her was so cold ,she could feel the moist wooden pieces from the rugged floor poking her skin through the light material of her dress.It took a few seconds to adjust herself to the darkness around her.

Her eyes fully turned to hazel, fringed gold throughout her eyes.After few seconds she could clearly see around the room in the darkness. Though she couldn't differentiate between colors, but still she could see the whole empty room. She stood up from the cold floor, which didn't affect her warm blood. She heard footsteps near the door which got louder as someone neared the door. Eve doesn't know what she was doing here, the door opened with a thud and two petite woman emerged with a rolled blanket in their hands. The blanket in their hands moved in slow motion indicating the presence of something inside. The blankets moved to show the face of the child in one of the women arm ,the same happened with the other one too. They moved close to her and stopped in front of her. They didn't look at her, making it evident that she's invisible to them. 

"I've covered them with my energy for now, this could last for a few years in hiding their identity. Take them to the other end of the world",the  women in blond hair and red eyes gave the child she had to the other women who tried to hold both the child in her arms. 

"But my lord, I can't leave you alone here, you should come along to take care of the princesses ",she could see the concern in the other woman's eyes. She must be her maid.she couldn't see her face clearly since she was hiding under a hoodie. 

"No Closta,I have to handle the situation here, I might not survive the war but, I want my children to be safe Until they are ready to face the reality,''she removed two chains from her neck, and placed the sapphire one on one child and the red one on the other. 

The red one, the red pendent in the chain which she has. The same she has as a remembrance of her parents. She looked at the women near her. This can't be true. No. 

"But my lord",the other woman hesitated for a moment. 

"Fast closta,we don't have much time.I command you to leave now",there were sound of footsteps again, but this time it was much louder and as if so much of people rushing towards them

"yes my lord",the maid vanished the next moment into thin air. Eve gasped at the moment she saw her disappear. Magic or spell,She couldn't say.

The other women,who might be her mother faced her for the first time. Eve could see her eyes clearly, she is her carbon copy. Same eyes hair and smile. The mother she longed for is standing in front of her now. She wants to hug her and cry her heart out she was clutching the pendent to her chest,when her mother walked toward her slowly.Eve could't move that she stood dumb founded .

"Mom will always love you darling",she raised her hand to touch eve's cheeks.when her hands was on the air,an arrow shot through her from behind ,splashing blood all over her face.
