Chapter 1


Sarah sat her back straight as she waited to come out of hiding. She had just left the secret hidden church in the alley and needed to get to her home before seven when the patrols went out to look for Christians. Sarah smiled. yes, i am a Christian. It had been her second time coming to the meetings. i cringed away from the road when a armored truck rolled by. then i slid out of my hiding place and made a wild dash for the side of a car to hide.
Micah crept out and sank down behind the same car, and tensed when he saw her. he didn't move, mostly almost held his breath. he'd seen her at meetings. she kept to herself. he placed a hand over her mouth and moved closer. "don't scream..i'm from the meetings..." he whispered, before moving or her shoving his hand away. i could only stare she was so pretty.
Sarah turned and had to clamp her jaw so she wouldn't start drooling and gapping at him. "what are you doing here?" she hissed back.
Micah shrugged, "i'm helping you get home...."
she glared at me.. before standing and running down the street. right into the arms of a big burly man who only had one thing on his mind. Sarah stared up in frozen fear at the man. she knew, and it terrified her. she tried struggling but he laughed into her face. his breath foul. he started pulling me into the alley.
Micah came up behind the man and slammed the metal grate down on his head and caught sarah as the guy fell. "come on..we have to get you home before anyone else tries to take you....but...i need your help first...my ma died...just two days ago..and i don't know how to take care of a baby..." Sarah smiled. "since you saved me...i'll help..." Micah thanked the stars above. more time to talk to her! He let her go a grin on his face. "this way...follow me..."
