The sun is rising over the horizon. It's bright light blinds me. It reminds me of when our lives were perfect. It's hard to think that this feeling was just yesterday when I woke up to the sun in my face. My memory gets shattered by the man grabbing me with both hands and throwing me down the steps. I feel my leg shatter upon contact of the hard wood steps.

My whole right leg is numb and throbbing. Chloe gets thrown down the steps a few seconds after me. She is crying. "We have to go! The door's right there!" Chloe says. I look over to the door and then I look behind me. They're coming down. I rush back to my feet as Chloe helps me up.

I limp over to the door. Blood dripping down my head and into my eyes. I see nothing but red. I hear the foot steps of the men behind Chloe and I. We reach the door and I grab the knob. The blood on my palm makes my hand slip off the knob. Chloe quickly unlocks the door and opens it. She runs out the door first. I lift my leg out the door and feel a piercing slash across my back. I hear one of the men laugh about their successful attack on me.
