Our running footsteps could be heard throughout the empty street. Running from who? I have no clue. All I know is mom woke me up, screaming about running before they find us. Before they killed us. I was a good 10 feet away from my mom when I heard her stop running.
"Ma, what are ya doin'?! We gotta go!"I yelled, turning to look at her.
"No. They want me, not you. You need ta go. Keep runnin' an' don look back"
What? Is she wacko?
"What? Are ya crazy?! I'm not goin' anywhere until ya come with me ma!" I yelled panicking. They'll catch up ta us soon.
"Ali, don be stubborn. Not now. You've got ta save yoursel-" her voice was cut off by the sound of gunshots.
"Ma? Ma!?" I screamed, running to her and catching her falling body. Her side was bleeding, as well as the spot right next to where her heart should beat.
"Ma! Ma? No,no,no! You can't die! You can't leave me. What happened to together forever? What happened to us against the world?" I ranted, panicking. My mama can't die, she just can't. Not now. Not before I gave her everything she's ever wanted; before I see that gleam in her eyes again.
"Alison, I need you to listen." She said, coughing. She never calls me Alison, so I know she's serious. I just nodded.
"Hun, you've gotta promise me that you'll take care of yourself. Promise that you'll have fun and live life." She said.
"I won't live a good life without ya ma. I don't know what ta do." I said.
"Promise me!" She forced out, blood spilling from her mouth.
"I promise, ma. I promise." I whispered. She looked like she relaxed.
"I love you, my Alison. My baby." She said, her eyes closing.
"I love you too, ma!....ma!" I said, shaking her. No,no,no!
"Ma!?" I looked up from her unmoving frame. I'm gonna kill 'em! I looked around but no one was there. Why hadn't they finished the job? Why would they leave a witness? Why her life and not mine? What had she done? All these questions were swarming in my mind as I turned back to her body. I picked her up and walked into the woods. I'm going to give her a proper burial. As proper as it could get. She deserved that much. I walked until I got to a small clearing with a river. Well this is as good as it gets. I walked to the middle and laid her down in the long, soft grass. I then went and picked some berries and flowers. Then I went over to her, put the 'bouquet' in her hands, and sat next to her. I took my book bag off and opened it. All my meds, some clothes, my toiletries, soap, an extra pair of shoes, and a letter were all insides. What? Then it clicked. She knew. She knew this day would come. She planned on giving herself up to save me. I looked over at get and sobbed over her body. The nonstop flow of tears was starting to hurt, but at this point I coul careless. I got the letter out of my bag and began to read:
Dear Alison,
I know thus is hard for you right now, but your a strong girl. You'll get through this, I promise.
Now, I need you ta run. Go ta 217 Bull Ln. The family across the street will help you. The key for your new home is under the roses. There's a stash of money in your pillow case.
I know this isn't the life you'd hoped for and I'm sorry for that, but I hope that this gesture will help ya move on a little. Give ya some peace.
Before I end this letter I want ta say that ya need ta watch ya back. Those people aren't known ta leave witnesses. I love ya much! Yer my pride and joy! Have a great life, darlin'.
Love ya,
Mom
Silent tears were streaming down my face.
CRUNCH! Looks like they've come for me.
I got up, closed my bag, put it on my back, and ran for my life.
'Well ma, I hope yer right.' I thought, right before I heard........
