I cried as I held my father in my arms, "Papa stay with me" I said as I tried to stop the blood from rushing out of his abdomen. His eyes were closed and he was breathing very slowly, I heard shuffling and looked up to see my older brother unconscious and being dragged away by some men, "Stop" I yelled but they just held up their guns and shot at me, I screamed in pain when I felt a burning sensation in my stomach. I looked down and saw blood now gushing out of me. My eyes started closing and I slowly slipped into the darkness.
When I woke up I was in a white room with a machine beeping next to me, "Hi sweetie" a nurse walked in and I cowered back, "It's ok" she said and I nodded letting her come over. "Where is my family?" I asked and she smiled sadly at me, "I am sorry, your father passed away and your brother was not found. Since you're only 12 you will be living with your aunt and uncle" she explained and I started sobbing at the thought of my father dying.
