Power Outage

~Prolouge~

Gerard was at one of his friend's apartment, they were playing in his friend's room when suddenly the power source went out. A power outage. Great.

Gerard was already scared of the dark just like any other kid, but what happened next made this fear even worse. They heard the door open and close assuming that the parents of his friend were going the check the power source. Until then they just sat there in silence, waiting, they didn't wanted to admit it but both of them were deadly scared. After minutes the adults still haven't returned, and thats when they heard it... shots.

Shots and screams were filling the silence, both Gerard and his friend were terrified, they were frozen like that, Just looking at each other scared to check what was happening outside.
The parents stormed in, the father holding the door while the mother screamed for the Kids to hide somewhere quickly. So they did. Gerard and his friend choose the bathroom as their hiding spot, Gerard hid behind the laundry basket while his friend hid in the bathtub. During that time the adults tried to lock the door but the key was nowhere to be found, they must've dropped it while running, how fortunate.

The shots got more and more closer and the screaming became louder. "A terror attack" Gerard realized. Now he was even more scared, what if they find them? What will happen to him and his friend?
And just like that Gerard heard the door break. He froze, eyes wide and his hand in front of his mouth, his heart racing faster and faster. The next thing he heard was a scream, two screams to be particular. And then two shots...

It had became clear that the adults are dead. They heard the attackers walk around the apartment, right before the terrorist could leave Gerards friend accidentally let a loud sob out. The attackers froze, they opened the door to the bathroom and found Gerard's friend right after. They dragged him out of the tub by the neck as the kid cried and screamed for help.

"Gerard! Gerard please dont let them take me! Gerard!" It broke his heart, hearing his friend being so helpless and he can do nothing about it. Also his friends cry for help told the terrorist that there was another person in the apartment that they needed to kill.

Gerard heard another shot. That was his friend. Now he really couldn't take it. Light and quiet sobs escaped his mouth and panic grew in him as he heard steps getting closer to his hiding spot. But then he heard something, sirens. He felt a wave of relief when he heard the terrorist run out of the apartment and heard firefighters and police officers run up the stairs.

He quickly got out from behind the laundry basket, crying loudly and breaking down right as the police officers entered the apartment as he saw all the blood and dead bodies.
The officers carried him down and out of the apartment complex where his parents and brother waited for him. He looked so sad and miserable like that.

"Mom they killed Ray" Gerard cried "they shot him and his parents and I couldn't help them" His mom also started to sob, so did his little brother Mikey who was in his father's hands. His dad was just standing there, hugging his son and wife as they started to cry even harder.
