Iris looked in horror at the lone piano in the room. The keys were playing by themselves. Goosebumps popped up all over her skin.
"Darling, let's go," she said with more urgency. "Hurry."
Just as they were going to run, the door to the room crashed open.
Bang!
Dark, shadowy figures raised their guns and started shooting at them.
"No!" Iris shouted and dragged Jin Liwei and the babies they were carrying behind the piano.
Blood stained her white dress but she felt no pain. She was certain that she wasn't shot. She checked at the crying babies in her and Jin Liwei's arms and felt relieved that they were okay. Then her breath caught in her throat when she saw blood gushing out of Jin Liwei's right shoulder and left hip.
Before she could speak, however, the dark, shadowy enemies drew nearer. There was no way that she would continue to let this happen. She would protect her family this time.
