”Please wake up by Morning” He said with a low voice, Kissed Natasha on her fore head and left for his room.

NATHASHA’S DREAM

Flashes of bright light severed and constantly shone in her eyes as she walked around a building that seemed familia to her.. She walked up the stairs, hearing the voice of a man and a little girl. She walked closer towards the voice, coming to an open verander

”Emilia.” The man called touching the little girl of about 8 years old. Natasha stood and watched closely

”This represents our family” The Man said pointing at the stars above which Natasha peeped also to see

”That big one is me, followed by your Mother, Your Brother and You, being the smallest one” The Man said and Emilia smiled just then a little boy ran out

”Daddy..” He called out and the man carried him too

”Daniel.. I thought you were sleeping” The Man said and a woman walked out also, looking very beautiful

”Sleep?? Daniel is a cat.. He doesn’t sleep” She said and they all laughed hugging each other very tight..

Natasha watched them smiling with tears rolling down her eyes as she enjoyed the lovely view.. Suddenly, the light flashed in her eyes and she saw herself downstairs at the gate blood everywhere, she was surprised until she heard a voice

”Emilia!! Emilia” She heard the voice of the woman and she saw the man laying in blood.. Some Men were standing with guns shooting

”Dad!! Dad!:” The Little boy ran out immediately

”Daniel.. Run.. Run…” The man shouted with his last strenght, but before the little boy could run away a spark of gun shot hit his face.. He managed to run out through the flowers…

”It’s alright.. It’s alright” Spartacus said immediately

”I’m here.. I’m here” He said and Natasha opened her eyes

”What happened?” Natasha asked

”Calm down” Spartacus said

”You are alright” Spartacus said and Natasha weakly looked at his face, she lifted her hands and touched the scar in his face recalling the gun shot on the little boy. Spartacus held her hand softly

”How do you feel now?” Spartacus asked

”Better” Natasha said touching the bandage in her hands

”Did we save her?” Natasha asked

”Yes you did” Spartacus said giving all credits to her and she smiled trying to sit up and Spartacus helped her
