I'm running in the woods, nothing but the sound of dogs barking,no, snarling at me. my chest hurts due to the pounding of my heart. The woods are dark and cold, but I have no choice but to be here. I regret helping that young man from being murdered. He was so sad, and he DIDN'T deserve that!
Now here I am... a fourteen year old girl running for my life from a pack of dogs with my long, straight, red hair that is all in my face. Not in the attractive way either. 'I guess I should of saw this coming' I thought, 'When the law is broken the results usually end in,well...death'
"There she is! Get her!" shouted a familiar voice. It's the soldier that tried to kill the man. All the sudden everything got blurry. All I saw was the truth, and it might as well be a caption in the air-I AM A GONER. I tried everything, sprinting,hiding,climbing trees; but I always felt unsafe-alone.
"What the-" started the solider, I remember his name now. It's Nicholas. Then I heard a scream.
"Summer! Finally!" exclaims my sister, Astrid. She is the eldest sister and is good with herbs. She is very kind to my twin, Elizabeth, and I. as well as her twin, Sandra.I know they care, but it gets annoying. At her foot was Nicholas with an arrow in his heart. She removes her dark, long, smooth hair from her face. Then she bends down and takes the arrow from the chest of the dead solder. "You know, Me and Sandra wont be here forever to save your butt!" says Astrid with a smirk on her perfect, pale face.
"Yup! we won't be here forever!" says my sister, Sandra, from the trees. Sandra,unlike Astrid, isn't that good with herbs...she is the athletic type. She swings down from the trees like a monkey chasing bananas. As usual, she lands perfectly on her feet. Her and her twin dressed the same, the normal camo tank top and shorts with a dark green trimming. "I love you Summer, but it's true." she looks at the solder and shakes her head."He deserves it..messing with Summer and us."
"I know it's true! and I never said I needed your help." I said, They always treat me and Elizabeth like this! We are ten years younger then them..but they aren't our mothers. " I'm going home.. See you for dinner." I grab my bow and my arrows and I ran home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I arrived at the small house I call home. Elizabeth see's me and runs to me,crying, and hugs me. "Elizabeth! How are you? What's wrong?" I practicly yelled. I need to be able to know my sister is safe or I get angry, and crying doesn't show me that she was safe. "Elizabeth! Tell me what's wrong!" she points at the room inside the house and I can already smell the house perfumed with the sent of blood.
"I tried to help Summer... but my bow... it was out of my reach..." Elizabeth managed to say between sobs. All I see is my mother on the floor,dead. I feel a sharp pain in my chest that feels like it can kill me. Is this agony? Pain? Sadness? Or is it all in one? Either way, I don't like this feeling. "This isn't the worse part.." said Elizabeth, she points at the wall and her face becomes serious and she stops crying. "This is." On the wall was a note written by the team of solders that Nicholas belonged to, called The Blood Cravers. It said THIS IS WARNING ONE; YOU ARE NEXT
"Oh my gosh.." I said slowly as I backed slowly away from the wall. This is all so fast, Nicholas, mom, now this? I cant believe this AT ALL! I heard the door open and all I hear is screams from Astrid and Sandra. I can tell in their voices they were aware what was going on and that they were shocked. their faces were extremely pale,almost dead like.
Oh... my... gosh..." said Astrid. She was on the verge of crying, she was over the body of our mother and she was sobbing. Sandra had her hand on her twins shoulder, trying to calm her. "How could you let this happen?" screamed Astrid at Elizabeth. She was all red and made Elizabeth tremble. "You were suppose to protect her!". Before I let my twin defend herself I butted in. "Guys!" I screamed. I had it with arguing, we need to stick together. "Get cleaned up and pack. With two showers, two will pack at once. Then we will switch. Now hurry!" and everyone scattered. Because Astrid and Sandra took the longest in the shower, they went first so me and Elizabeth were packing,
"I tried, you know" said Elizabeth quietly. "I wish it was different... that it wasn't like this." She was looking at me with our identical brown eyes. They look so beautiful on her, also our identical hair stuck to her face from the tears. I remove the red hair from her cheek and hugged her
"It's okay, I believe you" I said."shh... Mom is still here with us, so we got to get out of here so she can say 'Wow, what smart children I have." Do you want that?" She nods so I continued "Good, so lets hurry.
Astrid and her twin left the shower so me and Elizabeth jumped in. After that the real adventure began.
