The Protector

The Nightmare

Moonya POV

I'm sitting in the kitchen with my mother. My father comes in and said, "Hello, girls." My mother said, "Hello, honey. How are you?" He said, "I'm feeling good in the morning." My father turns my way and says, "Hey there, sweetheart." I said, "Hey, dad." He said, "Well, how's my little daughter doing?" He starts tickling me and I started laughing. My mother said, "You know she's not little anymore." I said, "Its okay mom."

There was a knock on the door, my father said, "Stay here." My father walks to the door and opens the door." We hear a conversation for a while until gun shots were heard. My mother pulled me to a secret small closet in the back of the kitchen, she said, "Stay in there until I come back." I crawl into the closet and my mother closed the door and locked it. 

I heard her scream "Get out!! Get out of my house!!" I heard glass smashing against the wall, as well as grunts. Then I heard loud thud, I don't know what was going on. I heard two men talking, and one of them said, "She's not here, burn the place down." They both left and I started smelling smoke. I banged on the door screaming, "Let me out!!! Let me out!!!" But no one came to help. I kick the door open and crawl out of the closet, there was smoke and flames everywhere. I get up from the floor, I cover my mouth and started running to get out of the house. I tripped over something...or someone, I saw my father, he was bleeding. I said, "Dad?" I shook him, but he didn't respond. I called his name again, but he still didn't respond. I went back to the kitchen, I started coughing, I saw my mother on the floor. I said, "Mom? Mom?!" She didn't respond either.

I couldn't believe that that both of my parents are dead, I started crying and coughing at the same time. My vision started to blur, I felt like I was going to faint. I heard sirens of a fire truck and the ambulance. Thats when I fainted.

"Hey, wake up." I slowly open my eyes, with a gas mask around my mouth. "Good, your awake." I look around, then I close my eyes again. "Hey, wake up." I open my eyes again, I see my cousin standing over me. 

Great....my cousin, Jose, is here. My parents hated him, he would always cause trouble for them. Coming home drunk, nearing trying to assult me and do a gang rape on me. So, my parents kick him out, he lives in a apartment building, out in the ghetto. Thats where everyone gets robbed and killed. What is he doing here anyway?

Jose said, "Well, Moonya, how did you get into a mess like this?" I looked at him, what mess? I didn't do anything. He said, "Heheh, well, both of your parents are dead. Those idiots, hahaha!!! They deserved to die, anyway." I looked at him with a red face saying, "HOW DARE YOU?!" So I punched him, then he grabs my neck saying, "Do you want to live?" I couldn't breathe, I started screaming.....

The next thing I heard was my name being called by someone..... "Moonya!! Moonya!! Wake up!!" I open my eyes, I see Naomi over me, and I'm still at Andrew's house. Naomi said, "Moonya, are you okay?" I sat up and said, "Yeah, it was just...dream." Naomi said, "More like a nightmare the way you was screaming."

Naomi was right, it was a nightmare...of when I had a good life.
