Call of the Heart - MMFF

"But we're only human!" I shouted and was completely beside myself ... I just wanted to get out of here. Everything had ... changed. "People? How long have monsters been humans? ”He asked, his undertone just making his disgust clear. He didn't hold her back. He didn't have the urge to talk to me, I knew that when he pulled his gun.
"What are you doing there ?!" I asked shocked and took a few steps back, stumbling. He laughed. It wasn't an amused, warm laugh, however - no ... It was freezing cold and calculating. It gave me goosebumps that I had never felt so quickly before and the hair on the back of my neck stood up when he held the gun out to me. "What you always do with monsters: slaughter them!" He shouted and at that moment I asked myself who was the real monster here: He ... or me?
I just shook my head violently and was scared for the first time. Real fear. "Please ... you understand ..." I tried to persuade him, but he only reloaded the weapon and had a cold, deathly glint in his eyes. "Time to say goodby!" He hissed and put his finger on the trigger. After that everything went very quickly and yet as if in slow motion ...
He grinned sickly and pulled the trigger, reflexively I threw my arms over my head, ducked and closed my eyes and hoped ... - no, prayed that it wouldn't be the end!
But I only heard a body fall to the ground and opened my eyes, blinking slightly. I took shallow breaths, being careful not to make any noise, then forced myself to slowly straighten up.
"You have damn nerves, little one," grinned a young woman with her hands on her hips - behind her, the lifeless body of the soldier who had threatened me with the pistol. His gun was a few meters away from him. I was so relieved that it couldn't be described any more and I fell on my knees. There were tears in my eyes ...
"Valere ...", I mumbled through the now rolling tears and found myself a little heap of misery ... She sighed softly and came up to me. I felt her smile and when I looked up and she stopped in front of me, I saw it too. "Valere ..." I repeated, resting my forehead on her feet and clutching her ankles. She crouched down slightly and put a hand on the back of my head and hugged me closer to her. "It's okay ... Nothing happened ..." I heard her mumble and felt something wet patter on my back ... It was the rain ... And it wasn't long before he started crying with me seemed ... The sky was darkening ... just like the fate that lay before us ... ALL of us ..
