Chapter 1

HI! THIS IS JUST A STORY I CAME UP WITH ONE DAY, HOPE YOU LIKE IT :D VOTE AND ADD TO YOUR LIBRARY IF YOU LIKE IT. I WORKED REALLY HARD ON IT :) ENJOY!!!!!!!!

A chilly breeze blew into my window which sent a shiver up my spine. I pulled my blanket up my to face, searching for warmth that wasn't there. I started to wonder why it got so cold so quickly in my room. I opened my drowsy eyes for a peek. I saw that my window was open a bit.

I started to think how that could have happened. Maybe my sister had left it opened so that fat cat of hers could come and go as he pleased. I groaned as i got up because it was still so early and I didn't need to get up for another few hours.

I sat on my bed for a few seconds as I stretch my arms. I yawn a couple times as I made my way to my window. Before I close it, I look out the window to see horrific sight.

Blood covered the streets of my beloved village. I can see people running and screaming. I see people in black uniforms killing everyone. I gasp at the sight. It so horrible.

I quickly look over the the bed next to mine on the opposite wall. I ran over and pulled the blanket to find my sister, Sophia gone.

I put on my snow boots under my night gown and grab my long coat. I ran out of my room and went to my father's room.

"Dad?", I said as I look at his room. The room looks normal expect for his bed.

I walk to his nightstand and open the drawer. I pull out his hand gun which he keeps for emergencies.

As I ran out of the room, I felt a hand grab my ankle before I make my way outside. I yell and see a head pop out.

"Sophia!", I say with relief as I go down to hug her. "What are you doing down there? Wheres daddy?"

"I heard screaming outside," Shes says in a scarred whisper. Her soft blue eyes were filled with tears and fear."I ran to daddy's room and he told me to hide. I don't know where h-he is..." She starts to sob in to my arms. "I'm really scarred Erin!"

"Shhhh, its Ok. We need to leave this house" I Say.

"Where would we go? What about Daddy?!"

"We will find him, Ok?" I say while i grab her hand and walk her back to our room. I grab one of her long coats and put it over her nightgown. She puts on her snow boats and we both run outside.

Everybody is running in different directions, so i don't know which why he force is coming from.

I remember that my Uncle Keith has a small cabin in the woods. Its a couple of miles into the forest, but i think I can navigate my way there. I just pray that my Dad is alright...

"We are going to run to uncle Keiths's house, we will be safe there, ok?" I do hope i remember where the cabin is. I only been there a couple of times with my dad. But I do know that it is off a small trail to the east.

I grab Sophia's little hand and I run to the forest opening. I keep telling her to just run and that everything is going to be alright. Its get harder to tell her when i keep losing hope myself. After about 20 minutes of fast running, Sophia starts to give up.

"I can't do it anymore Erin, my feet hurt." She cries out. Put i keep pulling her to make sure she doesn't slow down. "We are almost there...just hang in there sweetie..."

She trips on a root popping out of the ground. I turn around and crouch down to help her out.

"Are you ok Soph-" I say before I'm interrupted by a Voice behind me.

"Well, what do we have here? A couple of little pathetic humans i see.." I hear a guys voice behind me. I turn around to see a man with black uniform, pointing bow and arrow at us.

He has it aimed directly at us and the look on his face shows he won't hesitate to pull it.

"A couple if kids won't really be helpful in the slave industry. Maybe best if you two disappeared." He said as he got an extra arrow out.

"Please, don't do this," I say,"just let us go."

"Where is the fun in that?" He says with a evil grin. He lets go of the arrow and just in the nick of time I drop to the floor and pull Sophia's arm so she drop too.

I pull the hand gun from my coat pocket and pull the trigger, aiming at him. A bullet lands on his leg. He falls to the ground, but starts to slowly get up again. Before he could shoot another, I empty the rest of the load in his chest. I'm both horrified and relived that he won't be getting up again.

I drop the gun on the ground and turn around to check on Sophia. My eyed widen at what I see.

The arrow missed me, but found it's way to her stomach. It was dugged in all the way to middle.

My eyes start to tear up as kneal beside her. I lift her head and rest it on my lap. She is whimpering and tears are streaming down her face.

"Er-rr-in...." she tries to say with short breathes.

"Shh, don't speak, it will be ok, you'll be ok. You'll be ok.."

"P-promise?"She whispers out. She rest her hands on her stomach, over her wound.

"I promise."I whisper as more tear escape my eyes. I wanted to scream out. But all I could do is rub her face gently.

I promise, l promise, I promise...
