When I ran in the direction of the scream. I froze in horror at what I saw. It was my family.
My mother, My father and My brother Tom were all tied to a pole.
As I neared them I saw their body was badly mangled, covered in blood.
I realised my mom & dad were both dead.I collapsed on the ground screaming like I wasn't sane anymore.
It was Tom who had screamed. He was still breathing. His breathing was strained and raspy.
I decided I had to save him..He looked at me. I released him. He collapsed to the ground.
I lifted him and lay his head on my lap.
He whispered to me hoarsely as tears ran down his face.
" I won't live much longer. you have to get out of here while you can. You will live for me. "
That's when I realised he had a knife lodged in his spine. He was bleeding out.
He cringed in painI looked at him and said
" No you won't die, You will survive.
We will get out of here alive "He looked at me desperately & said
" They will come back. You need to run. Please save yourself. Survive for us . "He smiled and said,
" Always be happy. You are the best sister anyone could ever have. I will always love you. So will Mom and Dad "
with that he closed his eyes. He stopped breathing. I realised he was dead.I gently kissed his forehead. Tears brimmed my eyes. I left my family there and walked away without turning back.
I had lost all my family in just a few hours. I had No one to live for.I was an orphan.
Suddenly I saw those two men. They were following me ready to pounce on me at any moment. I was terrified.
As one man tried to catch hold of me I attacked him with the knife I had found near my brother's dead body. I slit his throat open in one blow. He collapsed on the ground
The other man by this time was trying to pick up a log. I kicked his chest before he could and stabbed him in the heart and in a blink he breathed his last.
Killing was now not terrifying but it filled with a great sense of power.
I had avenged the death of my family. I felt a strange sense of satisfaction by this. I started to laugh hysterically.
I stabbed them multiple times. Till my rage had subsided. By the time I was done the men were beyond recognition.
As I realised what I had done. I was horrified. My face was covered with blood stains. I saw all the blood on the floor and was terrified. Both the corpse looked like their insides had been ripped apart. Fright and the loss had turned me to a monster. The innocent little girl in me was dead. I felt heartbroken.
I ran blindly and Suddenly I fell into a river..I gasped for breath. I tried to keep myself on surface. Everything was a blur. I lost consciousness.
When I woke up. I was surrounded by a small group of people.
I heard from that I had been swept all the way to their village by the river.
I stayed in the village, until I recovered.Finally I decided to go to my Nana. As she was my only family left in this whole wide world.
That brings me to the road that I'm walking down. I'm just a few steps away from my Nana.
As I rang the door bell there she stood smiling, she hugged me tight.
I explained to her about everything..that had happened.
She broke down to tears, We had only each other to console.
I had nightmares for a long time
Even today when I think of all that happened in those few hours. I feel as if all that was a dream.
Except it cost me my family.
Today I live with my Nana and I'm finally happy. I guess I survived the horror
