Amelia: "What can we do?"
Elias: "There is a place, hidden from the Council's reach. A sanctuary for those like Liam."
Xander: "Are you suggesting we go into hiding?"
Elias: "For now, it's the safest option."
Amelia looked at Liam, who was playing quietly with his toys, oblivious to the danger.
Amelia: "I don't want to uproot his life again."
Elias: "I understand, but the Council won't stop."
Xander took Amelia's hand.
Xander: "Our priority is keeping him safe."
She nodded reluctantly.
Amelia: "Alright. We'll go."
Elias: "I'll make the arrangements. We should leave tonight."

They packed only what was necessary. As the sun set, Elias led them to a hidden path behind the cottage.
Liam: "Where are we going?"
Amelia: "On an adventure."
Liam: "Will it be fun?"
She smiled softly.
Amelia: "We'll be together. That's what matters."
They traveled through the night, the forest guiding them with whispers and gentle breezes. Finally, they reached a clearing where a small village nestled among the trees.
Elias: "Welcome to Havenwood."
They were greeted by friendly faces, others who had sought refuge.
Resident: "You must be Liam. We've been expecting you."
Liam looked up at them with curiosity.
Liam: "Hello."
Amelia felt a sense of relief mingled with uncertainty.
Amelia: "Thank you, Elias."
Elias: "You're safe here. Rest now."

In the days that followed, they settled into their new surroundings. Liam bonded with other children who shared similar abilities, and for the first time in a long while, Amelia felt a semblance of peace.
