My lungs burn as i run for my life "be carefull!" I scream to my maliah,my ten year old sister"almost there!". I gotta admit running from the goverment almost every day is just about as fun as getting your eyelashes plucked one by one but if that's the price for freedom i'm willing to pay it.
* * *
we don't stop running 'till we enter our hideout. I bennd over to catch my breath as maliah runs inside and shuts the gate. We live in an old garge in the outskirts of the city,the place must have been a beautyfill place before,full of life,happyness,family vibes and all that shit,but that was BEFORE our not-so-dear president decided that it was a good idea to force everybody to moove into the "headquarters" whare they can keep every part of their little ant's nest under control and bomb everybody who refused to do as they ordered.
I can't say i'm the goberment's biggest fan,i mean they practically took every member of my family,killed them one by one,now it's just me and my sister ,who got away from the goverment's hands with our aunt's help,she was like a mother to us ,the image of her face bathed in blood haunts me,and the smell of her burnt clothes and hair makes me whant to give up every time i breathe,i can still hear her last words ringing in my ears"maya,promise me two things:to always take care of your sister no matter what, and... make sure you are the one to bring the goverment down" i blink as a wharm tear rolls down my freezing cold cheek.
"Arghh!"a blood chilling shreik awakes me from the terrible memory,i quikly whipe the tears away and run to the basement where Maliah was reading "are you ok?" I ask her in a extremly worried tone "it's my wound,the pain's killing me" she says trough a knot in her throat "just hold on" i say as i reach out to brab the alcohol,i carefully remove the bandage that keeps the bullet wound protected, what i see is horryfying,the left side of her lower back is all bruised and covered in dry blood. The very moment i start dipping the pice of cloth in the medical alcohol maliah starts to squirm and scream"i..!" She creams in pain "you what?" I say in a surpringly calm tone"i..i...i cant keep going" "maliah please! Dont let go,not just yet"
"Please maya,let me go, i need to rest"
"No,please dont leave me!"
"Promise me you'll save your self"
"Maliah don't...." Unstopable tears blurr my vision and leave a cold trail as they fall
"Everything's gonna be okay"
"No it's not!!youre dying!!"
"hold my hand"
"NO! I refuse to belive that..." More tears
She starts coughing and i know this is it...my sister's death bed
"I love you sis" she says with a raspy voice as she draws her last breath.
