Chapter 5

I quietly walked along the outskirts of Konoha towards my home. The burning star was silently fading away whilst the moon rosed from the east.

The morning sky's light soon switch off as smaller glistening rays of light appeared across the dark, blue, cloudless sky. The gentle wind grew slightly colder, blowing at the shadowy trees.

I continued to stroll straight back into the village, heading towards my apartment. Small, dimmed street lights flickered on and off, citizens scurried to locked their doors whilst animals ran through the ally way.

I took my time, kicking a used, beatened up can while my hands searched for warmth in my pockets.

A blood curling scream erupted the cold silence of the streets. In an instance lights of homes switched off. The sound of clanging keys and doors locking, echoed throughout our street.

I dashed home.

"STOP!" A high pitched voice screamed from my floor.
Oh god no.

I arrived to the front door of the apartment, I quickly caught my breath and broke opened the door. I ran as fast as I could up the spiral steps to the top, regardless of the painful numbness in my legs.My footsteps thumped loudly onto the steps as my hands slided up across the side bar of the stairs to give me balance.

I came to a hault in front of my room.

Room 13. The unlucky number

I panted crazily, trying to gasp onto any air there is. I slammed my hands onto the door knob and swung open the old, wooden door.

"MUM!" I frantically searched through the living room,  throwing the pillows and cushions everywhere, searching for any clue.

I ran to the bedroom, and saw clothes sprawled everywhere amoungst the beds and the carpeted floor. I scanned the room quickly before my eye caught a red stain, trailing towards the kitchen.

Without thinking I opened the kitchen door and barged in.

There layed my mum, on her stomach, helpless on the tiled kitchen floor.

A butchers knive plunged deep within her back as blood poured out from her back.

I ran to her and kneeled beside her. I turned her over and saw her horrified face. Her eyes and mouth wide opened. Her skin was as pale as a ghost and cold as the heart of the killer.

My hands were shaking crazily as I held onto her. "MUM" Tears poured out as fast as a waterfall.

I hugged her lifeless body and cried harder each second.
"Mum. I will avenge whoever killed you. I love you so much." I placed her head slowly onto my lap.

I held onto her fragile hands and slowly leaned towards her face.
"I loved you so much Mum."
I ever so gently kissed her forehead as tears leaked down and stained her face.

"I promise. I will. Avenge you." I said as my eyes darkened.

"Annnnnddd. CUT!"
Chatter filled the room as my uncles, aunties and my dad came towards me and my mum.

"Not too shabby kiddo." My uncle praised me.
"Good job Wakana" my Dad smiled at me and ruffled my head.

"Erm, mum can you get off now, your ketchup is staining my clothes, I have school tomorrow remember?" I tried pushing my Mum off my lap but she stayed put.

"Mmmm, but I've had a tiring day today dear, give me a few more minutes." My mum snuggled closer before I stood up making her crash onto the floor.

"Haha I'm fine eveybody" my mum finally stood up and started to take off her fake contacts that gave her fake eyes, which was how she was able to keep her eyes opened for ages. Afterwards she untaped the fake, plastic knife and threw it in the bin.

"ARIGHT BREAK TIME CREW, GOOD JOB TODAY!" My dad called out to everyone.

Sandwiches,  hotdogs and drinks were placed onto the table as people gathered around. I reached out for a hot dog and gobbled greedily onto it.
"Say Wakana, was everything ok on your first day?" My dad seriously looked at me while asking me.

"Erm."
"Well we saw how your expression was when you were walking down the street dear" my mum interrupted while holding a can of soda in her hands.
"Wait a second, you were videoing while I was walking as well????"
"Of course, it was all part of our new movie." As my dad explained, another group of people came through the front door holding cameras and tripods.

"But dear, how on earth did you figured out that we were videoing?"

I rosed my eyebrows and said " really?"
I gave them back the letter they wrote me.

"Dear Wakana,
       After school can you please come to that old aparment I showed you, yesterday, around night time, while kicking a can down the streets with your hands in your pocket. Make sure you run towards the apartment after hearing a girl scream. I know you hate running but try.

Love your Mummy

P.S. We aren't videoing a movie.

"Oh" My mum said as she read her letter.

"So kiddo, what happened today?"
"Oh yeah, did the kids liked you dear?"

"Yup." My parents smiled at me.
"They even gave me cute nicknames." I say while trying to hold back real tears.
"Oh really? What kind of nicknames sweety?"

"O-h they m-made a huge list." My voice started to crack.
My head was cast down and I can sense my parents starting to frown.

"Monster, weirdo, creature." My mother gasped at the names and instantly hugged me.
"Now why on earth would those stupid children say that to you?" My fathers voice was filled with anger and disgust.

"My stupid hair colour." Trickles of tears dropped down my face.
"You listen to me honey. They are jelly of your fab colour." I facepalmed as my dad tried to be sassy.
"Listen. In this world critsism is always bound to happen, its your choice to either let it ruin your life, of you shrug it off like a strong person you are." My mum spoked to me while facing me straight in the eyes.

"Y-yeah thats what I meant as well" My dad sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck.
My mum hugged me one last time before standing up
"T-hanks"
"Quickly get your things and lets head back home" my dad said with a smile.

I am so lucky to have such an amazing parents.

"HONEY, DIP YOUR CHIPS IN THE TOMATOES SAUCE ON THE TABLE NOT THE ONE WE USED AS BLOOD!!!!! ITS BEEN ON THE KITCHEN FLOOR FOR GOODNESS SAKES!!!"

"Yes dear."
