It was my tenth birthday when mother took my brother and I to the large park to celebrate. Father was out to the store getting his last minuet gift because mother would yell at him for forgetting. The park was amazing and heaven for any child because it was built for all sizes. It had tunnels and secret passage ways through all the acres it had. It was like McDonalds but the playground tubes stretched through all the park. It went underground and over the in the air. Outside was places to sit and things to buy for the adults to enjoy. There was even a place where parents can get away from the sun and under with some shade.

"Go play while I call your dearest father." My mother told me stretching out dearest. I knew not to say anything and it was a sign that my mother was upset. When your mother is mad, stay AWAY! "Take care of your brother. You know he is not good at climbing, sweetheart." She nods a warning to be nice and to take care of him.

"Yes mama." I said taking Jacobs small 8 year old hands. "Lets go play!"

We ran to the tubes and as much as I tried to teach him to climb, he just wouldn't go. "No I wanna go tu the otha one!" He cried, having his tantrum. "Its my birthday, not yours!" I whined, pushing him up. Then next thing I know we are falling to the ground. I stepped wrong causing both of us to fall to the bottom. Next, I can hear him sniff so I panicked, "DONT CRY!" I pleaded, but was no use. Jacob cried and cried. "You want to see something? Look!" I said jumping up and down and hanging from the bars like a monkey. "I'm a monkey! Want to see me climb?" He nodded slowly, so without wasting time, I climbed running up the tube. "Ok! Your turn!" I said turning looking down, "Be a.." I froze, "Jacob?"

I race down and no matter where I was, I could not find him. Then the thought came to me, HE TOLD MOM! That tattletale!

"Mom! I promise I-" Then I saw it, my brother on the ground bloody and my mother crying being held down by the monster. Next, it lifted her by the neck, "MOMMY!" I screamed, but I couldn't run. My body was numb and I couldn't get myself to move. The monster turned with my mother in his mouth. His eyes were on mine, the red blooded eyes. "Aurora-!"

Crush

"NO!" My father screams charging after him with a pocket knife. Monster dropped my mother's limp body to the ground and stood waiting for my father to try to attack him. With no effort he dodged the last second and threw my father across the ground into a tree. He gasp in pain and his eyes were full of hate and pain. He didn't look like my father anymore, he was someone elts. He turned to me and he was back, "Run, don't look back." With that I found I was able to move. I fell to the ground like a spell was broken. "Run my princess Anastasia."

So I did and hearing his mutter don't look back and then screams. And that was the last thing I hear from the only family I had left.
