"I was born in a fallout shelter in the Philippines.
When I was young my mum always care for my well being, every time I fell she's always there to pick me up, she feeds me three to four times a day.
Basically she's more than my mum she's my guardian angel.
It was a paradise for us, not just for me and my mum.
But for all the people living on that shelter.
But....
Those moments never last.......
Those soldiers infiltrated the shelter.
They started to round us up, and started to kill everyone who tries to defend themselves.
After killing those who defended us.
They started to segregate us starting from our height, age, gender, and race.
Everyday on that shelter was hell.
They taught us how to kill, by making the elderly kneel upfront and forcing us to pull the trigger.
If we disobey their orders they tortured us, drown us, electricuteted us, or whipped us.
And after that they locked us up in a cell with our mothers.
But.....
When I stare at my mother's eyes.
I.....
They were emotionless, her lips are pale, her hands are cold as ice.
Every time I attempted to get near to her, she will shout, and start scratch me.
After that she will crouch at a corner and starts to shiver.
She- won't stop murmuring my name."
As the young Saffron hugged her mother and said.
"Let's go home together."
Her mother looked at her and grabbed her neck.
"WHERE IS SHE!"
" WHERE'S MY DAUGHTER!"
she said.
"Hhhggghhh"
"Ack"
"Mum i-its me-"
"Mum!"
"HHGGHH"
"Mum I can't breath-"
Losing her breath Saffron sight started to turn black.
At that moment her mother, recognized her.
"S-s-s Sa- sa- Saffron."
And releases her from her clutches.
*cough*
*cough*
*cough*
"Huugghh!"
As Saffron gasp for air, her mother began to quiver.
"I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry"
"I'm sorry"
"I'm sorry."
Saffron looked at her helplessly, as she hugged her tight as they cried endlessly.
Weeks had passed her mother's condition worsened.
She doesn't eat, sleep, and talk.
All she did was stare at corner of the wall.
She couldn't stand to see her mother like that.
Months had past since her mother became ill.
During their field training Saffron didn't move a muscle when suddenly one of the opposing team tried to take her down.
In an instant she countered the attack and broke the opponent's shoulder.
*crack!*
As the instructors heard a scream they put the training into a halt.
And immediately Saffron was extracted from the training and so as her victim.
The victim glanced at her and saw no remorse on her.
As for her punishment she was electricuteted countless of times, but she didn't not scream, so they locked her up along with her mother.
As the personnels walked away.
"Lookes like their broken."
said the first one.
"So how many more do you think will be broken."
said the other one.
The the first one looked at him with a smile and said.
"Wanna bet?"
Next day.
While Saffron was eating beside her mother the sirens was turned on.
The personnel from the intercom tried to contact the other personels but was shot down immediately.
As they here gunshots every where, their cells was opened simultaneously, all the captives ran as fast as they could.
Saffron looked at her mother for a second, as she finished her meal.
The siren' s sound became muffled as she took her mother's hand and left their cell.
As they got near the exit, she saw corpses laying on the ground.
She and her mother continued to walk towards the exit.
A man saw them and escorted them to a truck near by.
Three years had passed after that nightmare.
Her mother returned to her normal self.
