Vega stood leaned up against a chair watching her mother grab her bag. "Hey so we're going out to the store for a while I have a lot to grab for Ryan's birthday party." Her mother said.
"Okay cool see you when you get home." Vega responded her mother started to walk out the door with Ryan close behind.
"Oh and one more thing." Vega's mother turned around to face her again.
"We'll talk about what you told me earlier when I get back okay so we can fix it." Her mom said.
"Oh...yeah sure..." Vega muttered. Her mom turned back around and walked out the door with Ryan's hand Couched in hers. Vega walked up her stairs and toto her bedroom. "I shouldn't have told her now she want to "fix me" I hate it" she thought.
She then took out a book from her shelf. The books title was "Promise" she thought it was a generic book title but it was her favorite book and her favorite song had the same name. The book was about love.
20 minutes later
A loud crash from downstairs startled her from the world of her book. She closed her book and slowly walked towards her closed door. She heard faint voices coming from downstairs. She slightly opened her door to peek outside. The voices were louder now she heard one of them said " Okay I don't think anyone's home so we're good."
She quietly but quickly closed her door. She swiftly ran to her closet and shut herself inside. She was still able to see through the blinds. Her breathing was heavy and loud. She tried to stop her self since she knew how loud it was but she couldn't her legs were shaking and she was having trouble standing up. Her mind was running the what if's. "What if they brought weapons? What if they find me?" She thought.
"Call the police yes that's what I have to do." She took out her phone her hands still shaking. She told the police what was going on. She had never felt a felling like this she wanted to puke.
She heard loud footsteps climbing the stairs. She slowly sat in the corner and sat in a ball her head on her knees. The voices got louder one sounded like a boy who was on the younger side. One sounded like a man who was a bit older and one sounded like a woman. She covered her mouth and tried to hold back tears. She stood up and looked out the blinds and saw her door open. She almost gasped but she stopped herself before she could. She slowly sat back down trying not to make noise.putting her head back in her knees.
1 person entered the room he was tall and had broad shoulders he looked strong. He was wearing all black and he had a ski mask covering his face. "I don't think there's much in here but I'll check around." He yelled down to his comrades. Vega was shaking still she just wished she could disappear. "Will he check here? He'll check her won't he? No no no no no what do I do?!?!?" She thought.
She heard footsteps approach the closet she was in. "He's gonna find me! What do I do? The police haven't arrived yet!" She thought.
The man opened the closet an immediately saw her. Her head was still on he knees. She thought if she just sat there maybe he wouldn't hurt her. "Guys." The man yelled still staring at Vega. The 2 other people ran over.
"What's up?" The woman asked. They both ran into the room and saw Vega siting in the closet.
"What do we do James" the woman asked the strong man.
"Let's just leave her and get out of here" the younger sounding boy said. Vega finally looked up to face the people. She realized the other 2 where wearing the same as James all black and a ski mask. "We have to kill her." James said. These words cut Vega like a knife it all sank in they were going to kill her she's going to die these thoughts terrified her.
"We don't need to kill her." The younger boy said pleadingly
"No we need to, no witness remember I told you this or are you okay with letting your mother die?!" James yelled at the boy
The boy backed up slightly. With a shocked look on his face. It was clear he wanted to keep arguing but he don't "fine we can kill her but one of you has to do it. I refuse to get blood on my hands." The boy said
"I'll kill her then." James said. He grabbed Vega by the throat and lifted her in the air. It immediately become harder for her to breath as the man chocked her.
"Please don't!" She croaked she tried to kick him. She took her hands and grabbed the mans hands that were around her neck trying to make him let go of her neither of these things worked though.
"I won't tell anyone I promise just please don't kill me!" She pleated. At this point Vega was crying tears running down her face and falling onto the mans hands. The man pulled out a knife that almost glinted.
"I'm leaving I can't watch." The other boy said walking out of room. The woman stayed though. Vega's eyes were fixated on the knife. At this point Vega was struggling the most, she was kicking her legs around frantically. It was even harder to breath now since the man had been strangling her for some time. She tried to escape the mans grasp by hitting his arms.
"What do I do? I'm going to die!" She thought. The knife approached her abdomen and it's as if time had slowed for a moment the fear had sunk in this was it.
The knife had gone straight through her abdomen. She coughed up blood that flew everywhere."We should go now." The other boy said walking back into the room. Jason still griping the knife pulled it out of Vega's abdomen. She coughed up more blood before Jason dropped Vega to the floor. She let out a cry. Jason and the woman left first the younger boy turned around and they made eye contact Vega still crying. He looked empathetic for her. Before finally Turing around and exiting the room.
Vega lay on the floor of her bedroom her vision hazy her breathing shallow. Her once white carpet was stained red with blood flowing from her abdomen. She coughed and as she looked down she realized there was a pool of blood where she coughed. She felt as though she would puke up her own heart. Her fingers and toes were tingling. "It's so hot."
That was the only thought racing through her mind The heat from the wound gave her nothing else to think about.
Then a new thought flood her mind. "It was so loud." Her ears were ringing so loudly.
These were the only two things she could think about but then but then many other thoughts Rushed in " what do I do? What is the meaning of life? What is the meaning of death? I need help! Please make the pain stop!!" She thought frantically.
Soon she could not see could not hear could not smell but yet she could still feel but instead of hot her body was cold. Then nothing she couldn't feel any more. Her vision went white and she realized she was dead.
