The night was still very young and filled with stars illuminating the skies, all sitting in their perfect position.As the two locked hands and walked slowly under the brightly lit skies, they could feel emotions surge through their body, and their heart raced even faster. Levi prompted a stop on a little wooden constructed bridge standing right before the big bright moon.“Promise me you won’t leave me”, Levi said as he looked straight into her eyes. His eyes looked teary, spelling fear in bold letters.“Never” she whispered, “I’m not going anywhere”.He stood still, looking at her with a thousand thoughts running through his head. The guilt of having to hide something from her was killing him. Overwhelmed by a sea of emotions, tears dropped from his eyes.“Why the tears, don’t cry,” she said as she cleaned the tears off his eye.“I wish you knew why,” he thought to himself. “Please forgive me, I’m doing this to protect you”, he continued. He reached out and hugged her very tightly.

Just like you, we lived in a small house with a lot of good memories, and one night while I and sister were sleeping, my dad rushed to our room took us from the bed, and hid us somewhere in the house. His last words, “Whatever happens, don’t make a sound and don’t come out, and then I heard him and my mum argue. As soon as the men stepped in, they shot my mum and within a twinkle of an eye my dad was down as well and it happened on this spot, this was where we lived with our parents. You see this pot doesn’t only hold good memories for me, bad ones as well.I watched both my parents die, right in front of me and I wasn’t even allowed to cry. My sister Catherina was too young to understand what was going on at the time. For days weeks, and months I couldn’t sleep. Whenever I closed my eyes, I would see them; their images were imprinted in my mind. And I swore to take my reven

As she sat there with her face down crying, she felt a touch on her shoulder. The touch felt familiar and was confirmed by a voice that called her name. It had to be Levi, but how possible was that?“Bethany,” Levi called out.It felt as if she was in a trance, “Am I dreaming,” she said still trying to snap out of her shock, her face sore from crying.“Oh my God, Levi, this is you. How? I thought you were supposed to travel with…” Levi cut in, “Yeah, but I had a change of mind, there’s nothing to go back to. Why are you here? Are you traveling?” He asked.Bethany yelled with a shaky voice, “No! I came to stop you from traveling.”“Why, I thought you didn’t want to see me?” Levi asked rather surprised.“Who told you that?”“I called you several times but you weren’t taking my calls so I thought… wait!
