The Cursed Kingdoms

Prologue

Hello to everyone!

I hope you like my first story - I wrote it a while ago so it may not be great.

THANK YOU TO miracleevers18 FOR THE AMAZING COVER! :D

I looked down at the grave that had just been covered. I was trying so hard not to cry but I couldn’t stop the tears flowing down my cheeks silently. I was holding my brother, Andy’s hand. He had a blank expression on his face as he looked down at our parent’s gravestone, which read:

“Here lie Mitchell and Kathleen Mackenzie.

Beloved Parents and Friends.”

I looked up to see who else bothered to turn up to the funeral. I could see Mr. and Mrs. Younger – our next door neighbours – and a few people that worked with my father in the office. Nobody else cared about our family, not even my grandparents had come! I saw people starting to leave and didn’t have the strength to tell them not to go. I looked back down at the gravestone and remembered how our parent’s lives had been so cruelly taken away from them.

We were all in the car on the way back from our favourite restaurant. It was dark and the street lamps weren’t on. There was a man in the middle of the road. Dad stamped on the brake and swerved to avoid hitting him. The car crashed into trunk of a tree. Dad died instantly. An ambulance was called and we were all taken to the hospital. Mum died within 10 minutes of reaching the hospital. Andy and I survived with fractured bones. The worst part for me was that I didn’t even see my parents when they died; I was unconscious the whole time. When I woke up 2 days later, I saw my brother in the bed next to me with red rims around his eyes.

I closed my eyes and let the last of my tears fall on the gravestone. Then I looked up at my brother. Andy gave a weak smile and squeezed me hand.

“Let’s go home Susannah,” he said.

And I nodded.
