The cries of the little girl were heard again. The gentle shock to her mother's bare arm lying on the prison floor did not wake her.
"Mom ... I'm hungry." He shook his mother's arm.
"I'm hungry .. please ...."
The faint cry finally entered the ear niche of the mother. He tried to gather the remnants of his strength. Move the body, try to get up and lean against the prison wall.
"Honey .. here ...." The mother stretched out her arms, hugging her little daughter who would not stop crying. But that act seemed to drain his energy. Again he closed his eyes, helplessly drooping, giving up entering the realm of unconsciousness.
I don't know how long the little girl kept crying. Until what came out of her tiny lips was just a weak groan.
"Mommy ... wake up .. please ...." Then as if he had run out of energy, he hugged his mother's cold body, leaned his head on her chest and closed his eyes.
*****
The sound of footsteps starting to descend the steps of the stairs made the little girl wake up. He cried again, and fear and panic invaded him. The terrible nightmare came back, frantically shaking the mother's arm.
"Mommy .. Get up." More powerfully he shook the body of the mother who had not yet awakened.
"Mom .. there's someone."
The little girl widened out of the prison bars, seeing the nightmare that had arrived in front of the bars. But his black eyes were fixed with the other black eyes of a boy who looked at them in surprise. Investigating every inch of their bodies, making sure what he saw was a human.
Hearing someone else, the mother woke up suddenly, immediately pulling her little girl into a hug. He stared outwards at the bars. Passing the figure of the boy who was there, as if looking for a terrible figure who came to them.
"You who?" the little girl finally made a sound.
"Ak .. ak .. I'm Lucius."
Lucius answered. Surprised to see the woman's face full of bruises. His whole body was full of bluish bruises and the little girl .. was very thin and pitiful, no matter how long she was not fed.
"July ...." The woman repeated her name, then released a hug on her little girl to crawl towards Lucius in front of the prison bars.
"You're Lucius .. Sanchez's son?"
Lucius nodded as the woman mentioned her father's name. Then the lips were trying to smile. Lucius frowned ..I imagine the pain that the woman must have felt when forcing her lips to smile.
"Lucius .. handsome boy .. Will you help me, dear?"
Lucius looked into the pleading eyes .. quietly waiting.
"Did you see that little girl?" The woman pointed towards the inside of the prison.
"She's my daughter .. she's very hungry .. also thirsty. Will you help us? Will you secretly bring us water and food?"
Long they looked. Compassion came upon the little heart of Lucius. Seeing the suffering and helplessness on the woman's face.
"Is Mom holding you here?"
The question Lucius knew the answer to. But still he asked.
"really. I know you're his son. But please my daughter .. she is very hungry .. I beg you." The mother tried her luck. I don't know what choice the boy will make. Report his actions to the great mistress or choose to help them.
"Please help us, son." Those desperate words jolted Lucius' heart. Confidently he approached, holding the prison bars, approached the woman.
"What have you done that you and your daughter ended up here?"
The woman was stunned .. looked at the boy who seemed to be forced to become an adult immediately. I don't know what that horrible mistress did to her son. The woman smiled back.
"A mistake I made, and your father, and your mother's knowledge, son. I think you know your mother doesn't tolerate treason."
Lucius was silent ..His mind knew what the woman meant after seeing the little girl who was still turning her head to look at her. It would look like that when it was made in the female version, Lucius thought.
"But he's not a mistake .. he's a nice, sweet kid. Everything that happened was not his fault. I think you're bigger and you can think that what I'm saying is true, right, Lucius?"
The woman pointed towards her daughter. He begged through his eyes Lucius.
"Alright .. wait .. I will bring you your request. "
The woman breathed a sigh of relief and held Lucius' hand that circled the bars.
"I hope you're careful .. Your mother won't be happy to know it and know what punishment you'll receive if you get caught."
The woman seemed to know, her mother did not tolerate wrongdoing and betrayal. Lucius gulped, once again looking into the prison, into the black eyes of the little girl who was also looking at him in wonder, then he turned away, stepping silently left the stuffy dungeon.
