In a dark alley in Mazabic street of Tarz city, a sixteen year old girl lay on a very old, tattered blanket and used a thin worn out fabric to cover herself. She was shivering badly and her teeth chattered, her eyes closed tight. She was having a fever after being beaten for stealing a bun in the morning. She was used to beatings, curses and oppression- all because she was a vagabond. She hardly spoke and even if she did it was always a whisper. Sometimes some bad guys wanted to violate her and took all her might to escape. But she had no where to go.
She had no money, nobody to call relative.
She thought of what happened 10 years ago and wept.
"Mummy, Daddy, why did you leave me behind? I'm all alone here in this cruel world" she thought in her heart.
She needed medicine and food but she had access to none. Maybe it's better this way! At least she can join her parents. So she just lay there awaiting her death.
"Death, what are you hesitating for? Please I beg you, take me away. I wanna see my parents!" she cried.
Suddenly she heard a sound. It was a hiss, a rather loud one. She quickly rose up threw away the thin fabric she used as blanket earlier. She turned to see a rather large python gliding towards her.
She wanted to scream so bad but knew it wasn't a good time. She's been praying for death to come but she didn't wanna die in this manner.
No, she won't die this way. She's already in so much pain. She immediately ran out with newfound strength and speed. Thoughts of hunger, pain and death had long flown away from her mind. The only thought in her mind right now was to survive!
She ran out of the alley and kept running not looking back even when she entered midst of people. She finally stopped when she thought she was far enough and might be safe. But when she looked around, her heart beat 200 times faster.
