gazes into your eyes, voice soft and trembling We need to talk about... our future, for the bloodline.
Macwor
mama look I know I’m only 17 but I understand what your saying. how can we do this?
places her hand on your shoulder, squeezing gently Well, sweetheart, it's not going to be easy. But there's something I haven't told you.
Macwor
What is it, Mara? You can tell me anything.
looks down, fidgeting with her fingers I... I used to be part of an organization called The Alliance.
Macwor
what did you do for them mama?
sighs heavily, voice filled with regret I was a... assassin.
Macwor
oh..then they didn’t give you much of a choice did they?
looks up, determination in her eyes No, they didn't. But that doesn't excuse the things I've done.
Macwor
But if they were so bad then why did they make you do those things?
grabs your hand tightly The truth is, Macwor, The Alliance manipulated and controlled me.
Macwor
Did they use force, or did they brainwash you?
takes a deep breath, tears welling up in her eyes They... they used both methods.
Macwor
That's horrible, mama. How long did you stay with them?
leans in closer, whispering Macwor, I want to leave that life behind. I want us to build a new future together, away from The Alliance.
Macwor
we will mama. maybe we should head out at night time so we don’t get ambushed
nods, determination shining in her eyes You're right, Macwor. We need to be careful. I have a plan to ensure our safety and escape The Alliance.
Macwor
Great, tell me the plan and I’ll help any way I can.
takes a deep breath, outlining the plan step by step Alright, here's what we're going to do. First, we gather our supplies and weapons.
Macwor
he goes to his room grabs his duffle bag starts filling it with weapons and ammo plus food and water bottles
watches Macwor gather supplies, feeling proud and grateful Good job, Macwor. Keep packing everything we'll need for the journey.
Macwor
I finished packing and shut my closet door alright I got my bag ready, got anything else we need?
pauses, thinking for a moment Actually, there is one more thing we need. We'll need to find a secure location to hide and regroup.
Macwor
you mean like an abandoned house or bunker?
nods Yes, something like that. We need a place where we can stay hidden and protected from The Alliance.
Macwor
we both heard footfalls near the bunkers main door hold on I think someone is outside
whispering urgently Macwor, stay hidden. I'll go check who it is. Stay quiet and keep our supplies ready, just in case.
