Life isn't always easy for everyone... It has and a dark side that some people have to face and fight to save the ones they love.  And they are ready to do anything to protect them, even to sacrifice their own lives for them...

It was a dark night. Everything inside me was screaming to not let her go. I just became a mother. What a mother I am, if I leave my child alone, abandoned in front of a cold door... I know I'll never see her again, so every minute I take a moment to look at her beautiful big blue eyes, that shine in the dark night. Since the first time I held her, I realized how much light this girl gives to my dark world. How much light and love, she brings into my heart. She's the brightest star I ever had the chance to see in my life. And she was mine... My beautiful shining star. And then suddenly I had to give her. What a sacrifice God! A mother's sacrifice, for the safety of her child. I had waited so long, with so much patience, excitement, happiness to hold her, to see her and give to her all my love.  And now she will never have it. I still remember her smile and even more her crying when I was leaving her. These passed two days it's ringing inside my head and my heart breaks little by little. Tears come to my eyes in every thought of her and it's difficult to breathe. This pain... This pain is unbelievable. I'm a strong woman, even if I don't seem like one right now. No one can imagine by only looking at me, how many times I got shot, bullets piercing  my body, ripping my flesh apart and got them out by myself and then stitched my wounds up. But this pain can't compare to any of these. And when that storm burst, I knew how scared my little girl would get. She is afraid of thunder, I've learned that from the few days I had her and was pouring rain ever since. Will she have anyone to take her fears away? Someone to hold her when she falls down..? Questions with no answer.

CRISTOPHER "Com'on! Hurry up!!" He said with a thunderous voice, making my feet run quicker in the immensely storm. It's so slippery on the ground but I'm trying to run as fast as I can to reach Cristopher my dear husband. His platinum blond hair got wet as it's pouring since we got out of the bus reaching our destination. His blue piercing eyes are filled with worry, agony and sadness. I never saw them getting so dark in melancholy as they are now... It's a difficult decision for  both of us. I feel my heart tightening in my chest even at the thought of doing what I'm about to do. He wears his brown classic jacket  with a plain white shirt inside and black pants. Always attractive and on point with what he wears. Despite the wrinkles around his eyes, his mouth and some through out his face he still remains an attractive man, proving to me that nothing can take away his charm. We went through so many difficult times but and good ones too, that I'll always treasure inside my heart.  Although it's all worth it, I don't regret a thing, except from tonight, because I know even if it's for the best that I'll regret it my whole life.

VALERIA "Wait I wanna see if she's okay..." I said desperately looking down at my embrace meeting two big beautiful blue eyes. Every time she's looking at me like this I'm melting... I'm melting with love, all this innocence before my eyes. I'm so worried, so scared and I feel my eyes burn but I'm trying to hold up my tears.

CRISTOPHER "She's beautiful. We have to go now honey... "

VALERIA "Okay... Wait! She's crying... She's afraid of thunder. Shhh baby... Mommy is here you don't have to be afraid Crystal. It will stop." My poor baby she's so scared like she knows, like she understands what's about to happen and she's begging me. Begging me to not do it, take her back home with me. And that's all I wanna do now... All of us to turn back home together. Become a normal family. But I know it's not gonna happen.

CRISTOPHER "We don't have much time babe. We can't risk to see us..."

VALERIA "Are you sure about this...?" I said in anticipation, trying to make him rethink his decision, trying to change his mind desperately like any mother would react in a situation like this.
