"Are you just going to let him leave, just like that?" The young man asked the baker.
The baker had been hiding behind the archway leading to the back of the bakery since the hybrid and the vampire entered. He caught a glimpse of the young man who resembled so much of himself in his younger days.
The resemblance was uncanny.
-He looked exactly like a carbon copy of the both of us, my love.- the baker thought to himself.
He had no tears streaming down his cheeks. They had long dried up years ago when he lost the two people he had loved the most. Memories of the past brought back nothing but heartache.
His wife ran after the traders who promised a better life for their son. But when she returned with fatal wounds, she revealed the truth that shattered their world. They had sold their son into slavery.
"We failed him."
