Moodless

My father came back.

We were terrified of break ins now. They happened every night. Those stupid Angrys kept looking for us. So Trenton and i found a safe place to hide. We pulled down the latter to the attic and rushed up there at the simplest noise. We found ourselves there often. Sometimes for hours, so we found board games and cards.

Then one day we just didn't hear the break in until the foot steps approached the room we sat in.  one step then another. we had no where to bolt. Then the figure formed in the door way. It was my father.

"dad?" Austin said standing up. My father whipped out a pistol and aimed it at my brother.  Within seconds he pulled the trigger and my brother's blood splattered the walls. Trenton Caught Austin in his arms before he hit the ground. I couldn't even manage to get out a scream. Everything happened so fast. Then That moment everyone talks about , that slow motion terror. I watched my Father pull the trigger again and the bullet pass right through Trenton's body. Now my voice sounded. It echoed through the house. I gathered Trenton into my arms as he still heaved air into his lungs. Now his blood ran down my arms. I looked into his eyes, they went stone cold, he stopped breathing, and his body went limp. Then that slow motion moment again. I look up and I'm looking down the barrel of my father's gun. I took a breath. Then the bullet. I saw it just like you would in the movies. It spun and Periced my skin. Within a blink of an eye I was staring up at my father. I was barely holding on to life. Then He pulled the trigger on himself.

He laid next to me. Blood running from the wound on his head. I took a hold of his hand and watched the hurt leave his eyes. It all just drained away. He Was finally free.  I felt the pain begin to fade and my eyes start to drift shut.

I let go. I let go of it all. All the pain and hurt. It was all over, we were all free from a world falling apart.  My mind blank and everything was lifted off my shoulders.  I died knowing...........that time stands still when everything is taken away from you. Every good memory. Every smile and laugh stolen. Your Family Changed before your eyes.

But i also died knowing what hope and sacrifice is. And how my father Never meant to hurt anybody........
