there was once a time when there were no problems, a decent diagnosis. The necessary investigations were carried out using modern equipment. But that time has long passed. Also the place where they once lived, would probably not exist anymore. Like her beloved husband and their two children. Something had gone terribly wrong at that time well, otherwise they would be reunited with her family. In the most beautiful homes the you could have.

When the little boy and his parents left the house, Elisha put the jar back on the shelf to the other. It slid her gaze to a picture that they painted of a woman lies in the village.

When the work was completed, Elisha received a picture with three people. An elderly man with a beard, green eyes and dark hair, a younger man with a cheeky grin, dark hair and green blue eyes and a young woman. Blue-green eyes, long brown hair and a beautiful smile.
your family. Just as they remembered. Her husband, her son and daughter.
The artist had real talent. She had to admit. The picture was so realistic as a record of which they knew from before. Earlier, in which they knew and could use technologies.
As she looked at the picture, her were many memories. And tears. As much as she wanted to know what had happened. How she wished to be reunited with her family. But soon one should meet their needs.
"Wraith! The Wraith are coming! Into hiding! Run all the hiding place, "said a man who was in the village wanted to reduce its fruit and vegetable stand. Each
frightened at first, but knew was what to do.
quickly took to the main and ran to hide, that was just below the village.
through a secret hatch in soil in Elisha's house you could get a few meters below the ground and hide there for days without the Wraith would ever find them there.
It was an abandoned shaft in which a long, long time, the mineral that was mined, which was no longer needed apparently.
The tunnel stretched for miles below the village and access to Elisha's house could be found not so fast.
No one knew why the Wraith it there not find them, but everyone was happy about it. However, the suspected
Elisha had to do something with the mineral that was mined here from eternal time.

women and children were first admitted.
Elisha took her bag that she packed some time ago for such emergencies, and in which the most important drugs and instruments were also in the running and hiding.
you have helped two other men, women, children and the elderly to descend into the catacombs so-called help.
It was a very long and steep makeshift ladder that you had to climb down. Of course there were the younger and more powerful neighbors no problems with it.
Some climbed or jumped down the ladder. Others rushed due to the haste and fear.
Fortunately, no one seriously injured and so Elisha could take care of a pregnant woman to her to make it as pleasant as possible. It could not last too long and the village residents would have another.
Elisha estimated that it would take only a few days and praying that the Wraith would not find this time. She did not imagine what they would probably start with your newborn.
"If Is everybody here? Is my husband there? Is he here? "Tasha asked, holding her hands on her stomach as if to reassure the child that she had in it.
"Yes, he's here. Do not worry. He's fine. He will not be able to press before the birth of your child. Do not worry. Here we find none. Just relax. So much excitement is not good for you, "Elisha reassured the woman, and looked for molecules, the expectant father. When they found him, he was standing just behind the village elders and watched the last of the village went down the ladder and closed the hatch from the inside.
"We should as quickly as possible deeper into the catacombs. There we will find the Wraith not guaranteed, "Elisha advised the oldest. This
nodded and read before all others.
"I hope you is right, Elisha. While our supplies last for several days, but I doubt it this time, the Wraith will give up easily. Eventually we leave our luck, "said the old man listened with Elisha to the top where you could hear the darts and shooting at the houses. She quickly ran
behind the other villagers and led them ultimately deeper into the shafts.
you long ago, the shafts had turned into a refugee camp and set up at such times.
There were some chairs for the sick and elderly, a few chairs and shelves in which perishable foodstuffs and water were kept.
Each sought for themselves and their loved ones a place. Most sat on the ground and held in the arms.
Elisha had chosen a small corner in which she put her bag and began to unpack their belongings, medicines, ointments and instruments. Few residents had a few scrapes and scratches incurred during the run. Nothing serious.
worries she made only about Tasha. Soon your child would be born. Here, in the dirt and in the dark. The many candles and torches made the place not just beautiful. Slowly, she looked
around. Women and children were frightened, many wept and clung to their partner or their parents. Elisha saw the naked fear in her eyes. They, too, was afraid. But no one did. No one took her in his arms and comforted her. On the contrary. She had to be as cool and radiate strength and confidence. With a smile, she went to Tasha and the oldest and gave them a cup of water.
How much desired she makes her husband and her children at her side. When she went back to her place and even the village elders waited on them.
"many are injured?" He asked anxiously.
"Only a few. And there are only a few scratches. I hope it stays that way. Maybe I should still take care of the children and tell them a story to them of the fear, "said Elisha.
"This is a good idea of you," said the elder, and laid his hand on her shoulder.
"Poor Elisha. Who will take you but the fear? "He asked, looking the tears in the eyes of women.
"My husband and my children who are in my heart," said Elisha and wiped a tear from her face and called the children to draw around them.
"Children, come forth all times. I would like to tell you how brave warrior has won, "she cried and wanted to tell their story to an end, they began a couple of days in the village school to be told.
