Prologue:Alishia

The loud explosions wracked the building and made Alishia stumble as she ran through the flames with her baby clutched tight in her arms.

She managed to get out on one of the many corridors and took a left when a loud explosion sounded in front of her. She had to make a quick U-turn in order to protect herself from being hurt.

She took a turn towards another hallway and restarted her mission of trying to get out of the building.

This whole ordeal started about ten minutes ago when she was sitting in the waiting area, waiting to take her baby for her weekly checkup when everyone suddenly heard a loud explosion.

No one knew where it came from, but it caused a lot of widespread panic and fear making everyone scramble to find a way to get out. She quickly removed her neck scarf from around it's place on her neck and used to form a extra protection around her baby.

She quickly fished out her phone and sent a text to her husband before placing it back and running for her life.

Her baby started wailing as the smoke started making sight and smell really difficult so she tucked her closer to her chest to shield her and continued running.

After sometime of running around trying to find the exit, her vision started becoming blurry around the edges and she was stumbling across the corridor.

Her breathing started becoming laboured and her babies wails were becoming less audible. The ceilings were on fire and started crumbling in on them, she tried as much as she could but one of the falling debris caught her leg and her baby slipped out of her hands.

Her wails abruptly cut off which instantly worried Alishia. When she tried to get up and go for her child another falling debris fell on her leg this time making her cry out in pain.

Her baby's cries could still not be be heard and since she couldn't go to her , she started crying for help,

"Help!!Somebody!! Anybody!Help!! Help my baby!! She's not crying please!!!"

No one responded and she herself couldn't get up because of the broken debris still on her leg. She tried pushing it off, but it was just too heavy.

Just when she thought all hope was lost, she head quick footsteps behind her and someone shouting her name,

"Alishia!?Alishia!?Where are you!?Talk to me!??"

Her sobs stuttered as she recognised the voice,"Evan!!Evan, We're here hurry!!"

The footsteps rushed towards her and she saw her husband's face through the haze in her vision and the smoke.

He asked,"Are you okay... you're hurt."

She shook her head as she pointed at where her baby fell,"I'm fine but our baby isn't, I can't here her Evan find her please."

He soothed her and responded,"Don't worry ,I'll find her."

Just as he said this, a particular huge piece of debris fell from the ceiling and blocked his only way of getting to their baby.

Time practically froze as everything seemed to go quiet. He stood there frozen as he stared at the obstacle between him and his child. An ear splitting scream pierced the air as Alishia screamed,"NO!!MY BABY!!"

She tried to push the pice of wood off of her leg but it just seemed to hurt her more, tears were streaming down her face as she kept screaming.

Evan still stood frozen as he stared at her obstacle for a bit more, before he turned around to help Alishia out of her predicament. He manged to lift the debris without hurting her and lifted her up in his arms while doing so. He started walking away as Alishia struggled in his arms to go back,"NO! WHERE ARE YOU GOING, MY BABY IS BACK THERE YOU HAVE TO SAVE HER!!!"

Evan took all her struggles in the form of punches and dared to correct her,"It is OUR daughter and I am helping her."

And screamed,"By doing what?!!Leaving her to die?!!" He responded,"NO, leaving her to become stronger...Don't worry, when the time is right, I will find her and reunite her with us. .I promise."

As if that statement alone triggered her exhaustion, her eyes drooped and she slumped unconscious on his shoulders.

He whispered once more before leaving the hospital,"I'm not leaving anyone of my blood behind, I vow it , she 'IS' my only daughter after all."

And he left the hospital with that vow floating in the wind.
