Higabuki Kazusumu P.O.V

All around flames burned.

The heat with your radiated off of them scorched The very room around us it was horrifying to say the least.

Locked in a room with a raging inferno we we're practically forced to watch as the flames which would eventually claim our lives slowly approached us their orange tint flickering within the air which came in through a broken window, I looked upon my sister and my mother as we looked at each other, before residing ourselves to our Fate the firefighters would not arrive in time and no one was coming to save them.

Next to me layed a dagger, this dagger was held within its sheath waiting for to be drawn I looked down at it as my mother and sister looked at the flames and then back at me.

"Mother, Sister.... I'm afraid our options lay before us we either kill ourselves with this or let our bodies be consumed by flames."

Each of them looked down my mother had eyes of sadness, and i knew precisely why. Ever since me and my sister were kids my mother had always tried to protect us the best she could and now she was within a situation where she could no longer even guarantee our freedom from this hell and the only options that we're left in front of us was either a quick death, or a painful death.

My sister looked upon the ensuing flames, her mind ran wild with horrific images of being burned alive by those orange flames feeling the skin slowly melt away the burning feeling of all her nerves being set ablaze and eventually her whole body being consumed in Orange flames as she screams in the hope of some being hearing her but nothing would come to save her.

The two of them continued to make up their mind for never in a single day did they ever think that this kind of thing would happen to them, their life was already hard and they couldn't imagine that something bad could happen to them when everything that could have happened to them already did and lo and behold by a cruel act of God their entire house was now burning down the door was unable to be open because the lock had broke keeping them locked in place they were on a the 10th floor of the hotel, meaning trying to leave through the balcony was basically a no-go.

Everything pointed towards their demise and the Kazusumu family looked on upon this with eyes and souls fill with sadness horror and above all else unsatisfaction their lives were just starting after the cruelty and that bethought upon them and now all that was being taken away, just like how their happy life were once taken away.

"Brother." I looked over at my sister as she was crying. "I don't want to die...." She started crying as she turned and hugged me, I hugged her back as tears started to form and fall from my eyes as well. "We can't die, not now, not after we worked so hard to make our life better."

I held her close her head was practically buried within my chest as she clung on to my jacket, the flames grew closer to us as I continue to hold her in clothes trying to shield her from our impending demise but there was nothing I could do against this storm of fire.

Soon the two of us felt arms wrap around our shoulders and pull us in clothes as we're laying upon something soft, we looked up at our mother who was smiling down at us tears tears where trailing from her eyes as she looked over at the dagger and nodded her head.

Slowly I reached for it and grabbed it, I then looked over at a broken pipe and then at the dagger. Then a slammed it's weakened blade into it breaking it into three pieces, I then gave one of theses pieces to my sister and mother making it to where we each held a piece.

My sister was trembling as she looked at me, seeing as we where going to commit suicide together I reached down and gently took her hand she looked up at me as I smiled to her.
