14: Flashbacks

Italics are the flashbacks.

=============

Your little self run from your older siblings, who was playing tag with you.

The smell of burning wood fills your lungs.

"Everyone, the exit!" You hear your older brother said.

Then a man cloaked in white, with ice blue eyes entered the building. He went to your family and tie them up.

"You." You say. "Why did you do this?"

"I did tell your mother and father to run, didn't I?" His voice was cold, colder than the icy plains.

"You-you monster!" You yell.

A faint voice appears. "Run." It was your beloved mother.

"Go." You father said.

You run out the door, while the cloaked man holds a diamond sword.

There were screams. Screams of death. Screams from your loving family.

But you still ran.

Eventually, you go to a magiks user. Someone you known a long time.

"Alyssa." You knock on the door.

"Come in (y/n)." Her angelic voice said. She looks about 20 years old, but she's looked like that since you've known her.

You run to her and hugged her, and let out your bottled up emotions.

"Mom, dad... no!" You sob.

"Shh." She shushes you, in a motherly manner.

"But..." You started

"You mother and father knew this would happened." Alyssa said.

"Then why didn't they prevent it?"

"If they had tried to kill him, they would get punished."

"Why?"

"He is the youngest son of a lord. And, he is a High Priest."

"But-but he's a monster!"

"Yes, he is, child." She smiled.

"What will I do now?"

"We will run to a village far away from here."

"Okay... let's go."

You finish your swords practice in the woods and return to the village. When you get back, all of the buildings were black and purple.

Then you see Alyssa. She was laying against the wall, with blood on her clothes.

"Alyssa!" You run to her. "Who did this to you?"

"Z-Zane." She said.

A voice appeared behind you.

"Me." You turn around to see the man cloaked in white.

"You again." You say.

"Hello, (y/n)." He said.

"(y/n). I will teleport you to a set of coordinates. Look for Zoey. She is my sister." Alyssa whispered.

"No. You will die from using all of your energy."

"At least you will live." Alyssa said.

"No! I can't lose you! I lost so many people I loved. You're the only one left." You start to cry.

"No, I am not. Zoey cares for you dearly. She was at your baby shower. She will take care of you. Promise me you won't forget to find her."

"I promise. And I'll never forget you."

"Good." She said. "Remember that I love you."

There was a blinding light.

"She's waking up!" You hear a familiar voice.

"(y/n)." You hear Jeremy say.

"Wake up." Alyssa's voice said.

Much luv <3
