Chapter 6: The Cave

**Nala P.O.V

"We have to leave before the rain begins or we won't be able to reach the cave before the moon rises," my mom urged me to follow her quickly.

I could hear sadness and tears within her voice as she hurries me to move fast. Not looking where I was going, I fell onto my knees. My mom turned around quickly.

"Get up Nala!" she shouted at me. I got up immediately frighten by her harsh shout.

"I'm sorry my child," my mom apologize while she held her head and break down into tears.

"I don't want to lose you just like I lost your father," she said while she cried hard.

Not knowing the best way in comforting her. I quickly got to her and hugged her; trying to solace her. She returned my hug. I moved my body away from her as I felt her hands moved slowly away from my body. She quickly places her right hand below her eyes, wiping away her tears.

"Let's go," she instructed me and turned her back walking straight.

I quickly walked behind her; while my feet shake and tears settled within my eyes, petrified of what was going to happened soon. As I walked further within the forest behind my mamma; clueless about where she was taking me. My body jumped frighteningly and stood still behind her as I saw her place down the large black bag she was carrying and went at the back of a large walnut tree. My tearful eyes widen, surprisingly as I saw her pulling a large box creating a loud sound covered in wild grasses. I quickly wiped away my tears not wanting her to see me crying again.

"Nala," she called me. "Please carry the large black bag for me," she said as she looked straight ahead of her and again started to pull the heavy box behind her.

I watched her carry the old box, scared to ask what was inside. I slowly bend down to take up the bag she instructed me to.

"Please hold the bag carefully," my mamma instructed me as she went ahead of me.

My light brown eyes flinch, and I pulled my hand quickly away from the bag in pain.

"Ahh..," I growled softly not wanting her to hear me.

I quickly peeked inside the large black bag seeing large iron spikes that looked just like nails. My heart started to race heavily within my chest. I quickly got up from the ground holding the bag safely not wanting to hurt myself anymore and ran gaining upon my mamma. As I ran towards her worries swept over me even more making my body feels heavy. I slow down as I saw my mom stopped; looking up a grassy hill filled with large trees.

"We are here now," she said softly.

I swallowed my spit within my mouth heavily; clenching to the end of the bag scared as hell.

"Give me the bag," she instructed me, while she let go of the large box.

My eyes open wide as I saw her pushed open the heavy box. Inside was filled with a large rusty old chain that made me wanted to puke by its terrible scent. My hand shivers while I gave her the bag. My mom stared at me while she took the bag from me and close the box. Within her eyes, I could see only worries. She knew I was scared.

"Nala," she called me while she walked around the large box towards me.

"Yes mamma," I answered her, while my entire body continues to shake.

"I want you to help me push the box up the hill," she asked me.

"Yes mamma," I answered her.

We both hold the front of the box and started to push the box upwards allowing it to hit down grasses within his ways. My feet slowly slide backward allowing the box to slide backward, for it was too heavy.

"Come on Hun we need to fight in doing this," my mom urged me to.

I growled while I started to help her in fighting to push the box up the hill until we were almost at the top of the hill.

"Good girl, we are close, we are almost there," my mom said while she pushed the heavy box hard.

I fell onto my knees the moment we reached on top of the hill, weak; breathing heavily as if I was going to pass out.

"You did good," my mom said while she touched me on my shoulder and walked past me pulling the box away.

My breathing suddenly changes, and my eyes widen seeing a large cave. I slowly got up and saw we were above the forest on top of a large hill; the view was beautiful, but I did not have the heart to appreciate such a beautiful view now. I was afraid of what will happen soon. I turned slowly to stare at my mom within the cave pulling the box open, while she breathes tiredly. She did not sit to rest but get straight to what she had planned to do.

My ears rang and my body jumped frighteningly while she quickly turned over the box allowing the heavy old rusty chain to hit against the hard ground of the cave. I coughed and covered my nose and mouth while it made dust rises blowing towards me. It did not seem to bother my mamma; she swiftly fans away the heavy dust and gets back to what she was supposed to do. I slowly walked towards her away from the dust while she now began to open the black bag with the weird sharp dangerous objects inside. She got up and quickly went over to the chain searching for something that she had seems to hide inside of it and there I saw her took out a weird metal object that was strongly attached to a piece of a short stick. She then went over to the sharp pointy object that was no longer within the black bag and started to use the heavy object from the chain hitting them within the floor of the cave forming a sharply pointed square. My heart raced within my chest heavily while she hit the sharp object within the ground of the cave strongly with all her strength. Her body shakes and sweats from the heavy work. Soon she began to place the thick chain around the pointed object surrounding the ground; until she was through. She fell tiredly within the center of the sharp square she had created.

"Mamma..," I called her frighteningly while I ran over to her; catching her within my arms.

"I'm tired Hun and too scared; I wish your father was here with me," she said while she cried burying her face into my chest.

I held her tightly within my arms and cried hearing my mom.

"I am too scare ma," I cried as I told her. "But we need to make this happened so we will always be together," I told her comforting the way she would always do to me.

She gently removed her head from my chest staring into my eyes, not sad but proud of what I had said.

"Yes, we need to, my baby girl," she said.

She got up from the floor and gently pulled me from the hard chain against my butt, pulling me to the end of the hill. We both sat close while I rest my head on her shoulder enjoying the beautiful view.

"I remember when you were born, you were beautiful," she told me.

I removed my head from her shoulder staring at the side of her face hearing her said that; while she continued to stare at the beautiful view as tears escaped her eyes sadly.

"I wish your father was here to see the beautiful baby girl I have conceived from his love," she said while she turned to look at me.

She slowly closes her eyes while I wiped away her tears and again turned her head away from me sadly. I hugged her and rested my head on her shoulder. We sat there for hours and watched the sun as it sets. The place started to lose its light. I then knew it was time when my mom turned to look at me sadly. I gently removed my head away from her shoulder. She gently removed from the edge of the cliff. I too did the same. She stood still outside of the sharp square close to it.

"It's time my child," she said sadly while she stares at me.

I nodded.

"Please strip yourself naked," she instructed me while she burst out into tears.

"It's okay, mamma," I told her trying my best to not make her feel bad even though I was petrified that it was time.

I slowly take off my clothes allowing every part of me to show and walked over to her. My mom gently takes up the old rusty chain from the ground. Her hands shake while she did, and she cries even more. I held her face turning it towards me while my body started to shiver from the cold wind at the top of the hill.

"We have to do it to protect me," I told her.

She nodded.

I stand in the midst of the square naked and closed my eyes not wanting my mom to see I was crying; while she chained me to protect me from walking into death's arms.
