Don't Let Them Catch You

"When the stars retreat, and the moon bleeds blue. When love bows to a pure soul, free of vengeance, and hatred and sorrow," his words were ushered, as if he were telling her a secret, "Is when I'll be with you."

At the time, Aura didn't understand.

"Now run. Think of it like the catching games we used to play." He whispered, pressing a parting kiss to her creased forehead.

"Don't let them catch you."

So she ran.

But she never saw her father again.
