The Purge

Drained

I drag the three dead bodies which who were my mother, Isiah, and Gale to a bedroom. Nasty. I can't believe I witness death from a kill. I slam the door. I sit against it and hugged my knees. I was violently shaking. I was hungry, tired, depressed, and weak. I can smell death from the room. Tears fall down from my eyes. I started to gasping and crying. I put my eyes against my knees then ball. I dropped the bloody crowbar from my hand. All I want to do is be gone from the world.

Screaming echoes come into my ear canal. I hear explosions. I forget it was day because I've been in the dark for so long. "No, make this stop!" I cried.

I crawl across the floor to the front window next to the door. Left was nothing. Front was flames and smoke. To my right, people running towards the abandon street. I bet they are going wreck more of the chaos. Wow, without the laws being able to stable them, people are just wild bulls.

"Son of a gun," I mumbled. The windows were knocked out from Gale and Isiah breaking in. There are holes on the basement door. Under the bed you are totally useless because you can be dragged and join the flames of death. However, it's only way of hope of my survival. I slowly crawl to the nearest bedroom I can get to. I can hear the echos of the riot getting louder and louder. By the time the Purge is over, there'll be nothing of the abandon house left.

I close the bedroom door. The blinds and the window's glass is still intact. "Barricade the door," I instructed myself. I look around. I ran to the dresser and push it with all my might to the door. I lock it as well. Good thing, the bedroom door has a lock on here. They'll have a hard time getting in. I breathe after I barricade the door with a heavy dresser.

I slide under the bed. This is going to be a long day and a long night in older to be rescued.

Five minutes later, I can hear people screaming and coming into the house. Oh no, please don't find me. "We found three dead bodies in here!" I hear one Purging civilian declared. "Burn this place, the place is already death." One of them said. "Oh no." I mumbled in fear.

I can hear them dumping the lighter fluids into the wooden and carpet floors. I wonder how long it's going enjulf the house or soon enjulf me into a fiery pit. Then I heard the flames roaring into life outside the bedroom. "Let's get out of here!" I hear one shout. "Good idea, let this place burn to ashes!" Good ahead you idiots, leave me to burn.

I soon peak out from under the bed. I can hear the flames becoming louder and closer.

A hour later, fire entered the bedroom I was in. It found me. I started to couch when the smoke went into my lungs. The flames is lighting on top of the bed. I can feel it. It's all around me even the heat. The smoke found me. I kept on coughing until a finally I passed out again. Maybe, I wasn't going to survive the Purge. I survived many times before however not this time.

Midnight, the Purge was finally over and done with until the next year. The help comes to help. "The Purge is over leaving the United States in seven hundred billion dollars in damage. Overall, millions of people were killed during riots and murders. People will receive life long scars from the Purges yet to come in the future." Says the news in broadcast.

188 Noel Street, abandon part of Washington DC with houses and factories. Firefighters and police put out the flames and checked to see if anyone was in the houses during the time of the Purge. Three were found dead. Burnt, bashed, and yet stabbed. The victims were named Sierra Kile, Isiah Boling, and Gale Gavin. Firefighters broke down a locked door that was barricade with a shelf. They found a girl under the bed uncouncious. "The girl is still alive!" Cries one of the officers. "You must take her to the hospital immediately or else she'll not make it!" The girl name was Audy Kile. From all the smoke she inhaled, her lungs are giving out. Audy was sent into a emergency operation. Will she make it?

_______Please Wait____________________

I woke up groggy. Aroma filled my nostrils. It smelled like pomrade. I hear beeping noises by my side. My vision was fade. Where am I?

I was under a light. I was in a bed. I was in a patient gown. I had a breathing mask upon me. I felt sore upon my chest. Was I out through the rest of the Purge or was I rescued and found?

I doctor came in along with a officer. "Oh good, you're awake. Miss, you are very lucky to be alive right now. Smoke almost failed your lungs. That's why people should give up cigarettes." Says the doctor. "Are you Audy Kile?" The officer asks. I nodded. I can't say stuff due to the mask covering my mouth. "I have sad news, both your mother and father was found dead by homicide. Along with two boys named Gavin Gale and Isiah Boling." The office explains. I already knew that.

I swail my arms calmly to get the doctors attention. "What do you need, Audy?" He asks. I show a with my hands like pretending to write. "You need a pencil and paper?" Doctor asks again. I gave him the thumbs up. "Be right back." Doctor leaves the room. "Miss. Kile, you are going to be taking into custody into foster parents in England. Their names are Eliza and Tyler Glimmer." Officer says to me.

Doctor comes back with a index card and pen. "My parents abused me and tried to kill me during the Purges even not on the Purge. They attempted to kill me once and for all. However, Gale and Isiah sacrifice themselves to save me from them. That's why I ran away so many times." I wrote that on the index paper and gave it to the officer. He read silently. "Don't worry, Audy, you are taking care of another parents out of the United States in England. You shall not worry about your abusive parents anymore." Officer reminds me again.

Good, I'm tired of being tormented while being I'm fear of the stupid Purges that the United States release once a year.

"Once you recover, you can go to your new home and family." The doctor told me. I smiled. Good. Peace at last.

__________Once Audy Recovered_____

I drag my luggage bag filled with my new clothes. I was in sweat pants with a long sleeve shirt on. I was greeted by cool mass of air. I walk off the plane. This was the first time riding a plane for my journey before. I was in better shape than I was couple weeks ago during the Purge. I was ragged up and my lungs were burnt out or I should say dry napkins.

I ran to my new foster parents, Tyler and Eliza Glimmer, with a hug and a smile. Their house was huge. I was in closure from my rough past of abuse and riot. That's over and I hope it doesn't happened again. "Audy, welcome to your new home." Eliza, my adoptive mom, says with a smile. I smile as well.

On my first day, I had a feast with turkey. It tasted so good. Then my life became happy ever after. No more abuse and best of all no more once a year Purges, that was dreadul. They took the lives of my only two friends Gale Gavin and Isiah Boling. They'll be miss and rest in peace.
