Darkness filled the surroundings. Whimpers of a young boy is just all what you hear. Panting and unable to move, his body's trembling so much. His muscles are shaking. His eyes were tightly closed. He is hiding behind a hige tree that he can be sure that his figure will be hidden from the people's eyes. His feet and legs were injured and wounded because of his running on the lawn, trying to escape from his family. The moon's round and big, the howling of the wolves are loud enough to make the young boy's cry in dread.
His sore body is shaking.
"Please make this pain stop." Whispering to his self while gripping his chest where his heart won't stop beating so loud. His mix emotions are making him more tired.
The young boy's body gradually lossing it's sense.
His breathing became painful and his eyes slowly closed. All he can do is to lie down on the cold and dirty ground. His torned clothes didn't help him to fight the strong wind.
The skies almost filled with brightness because sequential of the lightning and the roaring sounds of thunder. Looks like a big storm will come. Unfortunately the boy can't do anything but to lie down and accept the fact that he will face this storm.
But..
No matter what happens. He will never go back from the place where he came from. From the place where he experienced hell. Where the place he felt unloved and useless. The place where his so called family mistreated him like an animal. He will never forget this day - this day where escape from his hell hole.
Even if this is the most unluckiest moment of his life but this the most important and happiest day of his life. The second where he stepped outside of his family's house is the time for him to have a new life.
He is satisfied enough to say that he's happy even if his experiencing a painful night in the lawn.

Jeremiah's POV
I slowly opened my eyes, the sunlight hits my bare face onky to find out that I'm lying down the ground. I tried to move my arms but all I felt was soreness althroug my body. I can't move. My small and skinny body are almost buried in the mud, cause of the storm last night.
I feel so sick. My stomach is growling I almost forgot that I didn't eat a single food yesterday. My head's spinning and I want to throw up. My body's in heat. I feel like I have a fever.
"Oh my, who are you? Are you alive? Is he dead?" A woman suddenly blocked my view of the on the sun. My lying body on the ground suddenly became numb.
"The boy's still alive." A man who abruptly came beside the woman spoke. I looked at them with my curious eyes.
I blink a few times to let them know that I'm still alive and breathing. I just can't move my body and my sense are still unstable.
"This boy could be a good pic but I think he's too skinny. Look at his body. I think no one will pick him." I heard the woman said to the man beside her. They're whispering at each other.
"We will never know Cassandra. Maybe just a little bit of magic, we can turn him into someone." The man smiled derange at the woman, he smiles widely that made him looks like a crazy man.
"You little... Just be thankful that I can't say no to your conditions." The rolled her eyes at the man. After they talked for a few more seconds I just watched them the whole time whispering at each other thou I don't really understand some of the things that they said because they were so close at each other.
They both looked at me in the same time. Their eyes were like scanning me and studying me. I want to say something, I want them to help me. But my mouth can't say a word. I can't speak because I'm sick. And I think I'm having a high fever. And I'm still lying on the ground waiting for them to help me.
Suddenly my stomach growls so loud.
"Oh my, looks like you're very hungry young man." The woman spoke.
"Come, we'll feed you." The man said and my eyes sparks so sudden. I want to say 'thank you' but I can't.
The man slowly helped me to sit, and the woman shaken off the dirt on my clothes then the man carefully picked me up from the ground.
"Did you sleep in here?" The woman asked. I slowly nodded my head to give her an answer.
"You poor thing. I'm sure you're having a bad health right now. Look at your body, are you eating?" The man asked.
I just stared at him and blinked a few times.
"Let's leave now." The woman said.
The man carries me on his back while the woman walked behind us.
We entered a small and simple house. I think, this house is their property.
