I smiled as I stared at the little rock in my hands. It looked a bit like a person I knew my little sister would love it.
"Pebble's gonna cherish this, I know that for a fact." I skipped down the road not caring that I was a bit too old for that.
When a humongous snake came from no where. How the hell does a snake that big appear as if it's from thin air. I screamed and stumbled backwards cursing under my breath as I tripped.
Strong hands pulled me up, and I looked into warm brown eyes, the owner of said eyes was wearing a red ninja suit. Was he the actual ninja? Or was he just a fan?
"Hey kid, go home it's not safe." He said before running of.
Did he just call me kid? From what I could tell from his voice height eyes and body build we should be the same age, unless he's a late bloomer.
Ignoring his words i sarted heading towards home, or i tried to, apparently that overgrown worm was also heading in that direction and people were trying to run away from it. It felt like I was fighting some kind of invisible force. Normally I could slip through these people but today shoulders butted my own, people grabbed my arms thinking I was their kid, then screaming at me.
I don't know who Jayson or Amanda are, I don't know and honestly don't care if their alive, I just want to find my little sister and parents.
By the time I got to our flat... it was gone. I felt my heart shatter.
"MOM! DAD! PEBBLE!!" I kept screaming until my voice cracked. I couldn't get here in time.
I failed to save my own family.
I ran away from the rubble, I pushed my emotions to the side as much as I could. They weren't there. It's not like I would be able to find them in this mess. They were probably looking for me aswell. Yeah that's right, they're alive and looking for me the best thing for me to do was get to some where safe and wait this out.
My foot stepped on something hard and I stopped mid run. It was the rock I was going to give to Pebble expect now there was a crack on its waist. It must have fallen out of my pocket when I kept getting pushed around.
I picked it up and hugged it to my chest hoping against hope that my family was still alive. I retreated into an ally way begging the universe not to kill them.
To past time I rembered happy memories. Me and my sister helping our mum make a cake for our dad's birthday. The two of us whispering under my blanket in the middle of the night planning our perfect wedding. Wrestling on the sofa. Painting with my dad. Brushing Pebble's hair. Taking long walks in the forest, all four of us.
I felt something warm build up in my chest, I didn't pay attention to it first but it kept building up, I felt like I couldn't breathe. I opened my eyes and did the first thing that came to my mind, I pushed the warm feeling out of my hands. Yellow threads came out of my fingers I stared in fascination as they weaved together creating.. my parents and little sister.
I felt tears prick the corners of my eyes as I reached forwards to touch them, but they disappeared. An illusion that's what they were, a trick of the mind.
Just then this disgusting green goo came from nowhere and splattered itself on me. I gagged as I heard some people celebrating, the snake must be dead. I stood up determination pulsing through my veins.
I went back to the rubble of what I used to call home, I could see one of my favourite shirts ripped on the ground. I kept walking around not knowing what I was looking for when my foot hit something.
I looked down to find my parents bodies. I had expected this so all I felt was grief. Quiet tears streamed down my face. I borrowed a wheel barrow and took my parents bodies to a grave yard. Calling on an old favour I managed to get them graves side by side.
It was then i dissappeared into the shadows. I couldnt let social services find me before i found Pebble. So I would hide in the streets lie if I had to, but since I haven't found my little sisters body I refused to believe she was dead.
