Awakening

Green eyes. Green eyes awaken me from a painful sleep. My back feels like a thousand little knives are stabbing my spine. My head feels as though someone has just punched me  and my arms and legs are so numb. When I look up again I see smoke and fire bellowing around the trees. I looked up to a young boy with brown hair and the most beautiful green eyes. " You're awake, thank goodness, I was so worried" the boy said with worry in his voice. I try to sit up, only to have the world spin in uncontrollable circles. The boy helps me stand up, which was very difficult as my ankle was killing me. I look at the forest around me to see that there was fire, smoke and red, red blood everywhere. It was all that I could see. 

When I looked down to my left I saw two crumpled bodies. Each covered in a thick coat of red blood. Their bodies were badly injured and their faces were indescribable. The body on the right was small and fragile, a young child. Near the tiny body was a fire damaged teddy bear. I tear rolled down my cheek. Whenever a child this young passes away, it makes me think of how little time they had to live, how much they had to experience in life. I look away so that I don't vomit. I walked over to a very large piece of metal, surrounded by seared grass and smoke. When on closer inspection I found that there were four extremely injured people behind it. Their limbs were all bent at awkward positions and their faces were like the two bodies before them. But as I got closer one of them looked-.... no. I saw a sapphire ring on one of the bloody hands of one of the bodies. The only person in the world who had that type of ring was my mother. My dad made sure that it was the only one of its kind, just like my mother he said. I ran over to the body of my mother. I put my hand over my mouth to stop myself from screaming and gagging. There I found my Father and sisters injured and ..... dead. I stumbled and fell to the ground. I screamed and cried till my throat was raw and my eyes were stinging. My parent s and sisters who I loved to bits were dead. I couldn't believe it. The tears came like waterfalls, I couldn't control my self.

I felt a strong hand grip my should, helping e up from the ground. The boy wrapped his arms around my body and patted my back reassuringly. I cried even more then. " I'm so, so sorry". I looked up to the boys face to see too, that several tears were streaming down his face. I couldn't bear it anymore. "Please, get away from me." I said with a cry. 

I wanted to be alone, but I guess I already was.
