This is the third is my series now. Click on the clicks below to read from the beginning.
She turned and ran knowing
It wouldn’t delay them for long
She heard the screeches of sirens
The chop chop of the helicopters
The panicked sounds over radios
As she hid inside a barn
The cows she bunked with
Proved to be more compassionate
Than the animals trying to gun her down
Morning delivered raids and searches
On every building within a ten mile radius
And she was discovered by a farmer
The old man took pity on Lila
Mistaking her youthful appearance
For a young female human, when in fact
She was 85 years old
But her people aged slower
Her innocence was of someone much younger
The farmer was ware she was the one
All the fuss was about
The news claimed she was a wanted fugitive
He didn’t believe that.
When soldiers arrived, he introduced her
As his granddaughter, visiting him
Jay, The dark haired solider was taken
By Lila’s beauty and long flowing blonde locks
A week later he came by the farm
While on leave, instead of going home
The farmer tried to warn Lila
About how a man can break a woman’s heart
