The one that got away

The night I lost everything

Andy

My heart was beating so fast, I was scared it would lead the vampires right to us. That, or it would burst out of my chest. Both options sound rather unappealing. I just kept running as fast as I could.

I let my hands rest upon my knees when I reach the highway. I look behind to see my father running towards me.

"Where's Josh?!" I shout my voice trembling with fear.

He grabs me by the shoulders and looks into my eyes. I almost didn't notice the tear running down his cheek.

"Listen very carefully Andy. Keep your machete close and don't stop running okay? Get somewhere safe, don't stop, don't look back. I'll go find Josh and meet you there okay sweetie? I love you." And with that said, he quickly gave me a kiss on my head and ran back into the woods.

I kept screaming, shouting his name but he never came back. The only family I had left were in those woods. I couldn't just run away.

Gripping my machete tight in my hand, I decided to run after him. I got inside the old barn and saw my family with their throats torn and bloody with their eyes lifeless. I dropped my weapon and fell to my knees. I kept screaming their names, hoping they would wake up by some miracle. I crawled my way to my Dad and hugged him while my body couldn't retain my sobs. I was devastated, I was angry, hungry for revenge...I was alone.

Suddenly I hear slow footsteps coming from behind me. I quickly grab my machete and turn around ready to attack when I see a man with two boys.

"Hi there, little girl. Don't be afraid. We're hunters." said the man.

The two boys kept starting at me curiously. They seemed about my age.

I wiped my tears away with my sleeve, not letting go of my weapon. The man continued to speak. "My name is John Winchester, and these are my two boys Sam and Dean. Would you like to come with us?"

After thinking about my other options, I realised I didn't really have any. I slowly nodded and earned a small smile from John.

"I won't leave my dad and brother here." I said my voice cracking up.

"Sammy will take you to the car while Dean and I worry about the rest okay?" He said.

I wanted to protest but I didn't have the energy to do so. It's like my heart had been ripped out of my chest.

Sam took my hand and started walking outside. He was shorter than me and younger. After a moment of silence he said: "So what's your name?"

"Andy." I wasn't in the mood to talk.

"Well Andy, don't worry. Everything will be just fine, we will take care of you."
