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.
