Walking (Blog Assignment #3)

Sophie, a widow woman, lived in the woods with her daughter, Julia, in a very tiny town in Switzerland. Every month, they visited Sophie's Aunt Lili, that lived kilometers away from the town. They needed to arrive as soon as possible because the forest was very dangerous, in which Sophie had very bad experiences before because one man tried to kidnap her. From then on, she always carried a knife with her just in case something dangerous could happen. Sophie knew that there was a lot of risk in taking her daughter with her, but she didn't have family in the town, neither friends so she couldn't leave Julia alone. Aunt Lili was very sick, so she needed to visit her not every month, but every week.

During her way to her aunt's house, Sophie was trying to make no loud noises, becuase this could be the sign to a dangerous animal, or to a kidnapper. Meanwhile, she was singing a song to Julia, so that she could fall asleep, and make her easier the way. Then, she heard laughs, and steps of people that were running and shouting at the same time; so Sophie started to run faster and faster, because she knew that she and her daughter were in danger. Suddenly, someone took her from her back, making Julia fall to the ground. She knew, that she had a knife, so whe waited to the exact moment to stab him to defend her daughter and herself. Finally, she did it, she killed the man saving their lives.
