As I slowly woke up to the sound of birds whistling and the wind blowing,my 6 year old self instantly remembered that it was Christmas.I jumped out of my bed and ran out into my parents room.I climbed up to them and began to push their bodies out of bed.
After trying to push them out of bed,they awoke.
"Good morning my sweetie"Mom smiled that brought on a sunny day as her sky blue eyes laughed along,and were hidden beneath her golden locks
"Good morning mommy"I said as I tried to give the same sunny smile back to her
"Morning you two"Dad spoke but wasn't fully awake as his messy dark wood hair and his tired brown coffee eyes showed he was in a deep sleep
"Morning daddy.Now can we go open presents?"I begged
"Alright let's go"Mom replied as I ran to the living room and my parents followed behind.
"I made this is for you mommy"I handed her a drawing of her
"Oh it's perfect sweetie.Thank you"Her smile widened as she opened her arms out for a hug
I opened my arms,leaned into her,and closed my eyes,waiting to feel her warmth.Nothing was there though,all I felt was air.I opened my eyes and she was gone.I looked around in panic and became more mortified.Dad was gone too,all that was left behind was a large hole in the wall
"Mommy?"
"Mommy?!"
"MOMMY WHERE ARE YOU?!"
"MOMMY,DADDY WHERE ARE YOU?!"I yelled with all my might that my tiny lungs could handle as warm teardrops started to form
"ugh..."I recognized that voice.It was Dad's
"Daddy?!"
"I'm...here..."I looked around again and spotted him beneath beams and boards
"Daddy!"I run to him and begin trying to remove the thin boards and heavy beams off of him
"Daddy it's too heavy"the tears began to run down my cheeks
"It's alright I'll think of something"Dad comforts me
"O-Ok daddy"I wiped my tears away as I heard a sound coming from the hole.I turned my head and saw a large robot looking in
"Daddy look,help"I walked over to the robot
"No sweetie that's not help"Dad warned me
"No their helpers daddy.Hey! We need help!"I yell out
"They aren't going to help us"Dad states
"No look,one of them is right here"I point to the robot
"We need help"I speak to the robot as it raises and extends its arm towards my way.
I flinch instantly,closing my eyes and covering my head to protect myself.I feel the cold metal surround my small body.The metal hand closes in on me.Smaller and smaller the space around me becomes.Soon enough I'm being squeezed,unable to breathe.With no air coming to me, everything becomes black and quiet.
