Short Stories

A separated family...

My name is Lily. I was 5 years old when I lost everything. I had a twin sister, Lira, and an older brother, Josh. My story began when me, my mother, Josh, and Lira were playing in our room, while our father cleaned the house. my siblings and  I were practicing our swordsmanship when I heard my father yell. My mother ran out of the room to check it out. I followed her. There were two men in red suits. Their eyes glowed a blood red like my mother's. My father yelled at them. He told them to get out and to leave my family alone. Then the men attacked him. My father turned into his End Knight form and fought them with all his might in order to protect us. He then looked at my mother and said: "Alyssa grab the kids and run, I'll hold them off!". That was the last I ever heard from my father. "Jet please be careful!". My mother was crying when she picked me and Lira up. Josh stayed close behind as we ran out the door. The last thing I saw as we fled our home was the men killing my father. I screamed as the tears rolled down my face. They heard me and started to follow us. That's when they shot an arrow at my mother, hitting her in the thigh. She dropped me. Lira yelled for me as they continued running to my uncle's house. My mother had no choice but to leave me there in the bushes, but I refused to stay away. I started to run after them, but they were too fast. I couldn't keep up. My mother ran up to my uncle's house and started to bang on the door. He opened the door with a worried look on his face "Alyssa whats wrong?". My mother looked her brother in the eye and said with a face full of tears "It's not safe here, they're going to kill us, grab your family and take my children!". He looked scared. My uncle came back with his wife and daughter. They started to run to the docks. My mother handed my siblings to my uncle and told him "Get in the boat and never come back!". "Alyssa aren't you coming too?" my mother just smiled and said "If I did who would keep them from finding you." and with that, they sailed off. I ran as fast as I could to get to them but, it was no use, I was too late. I started to run faster to get to my mother. I saw her up ahead standing on the docks. My mother's friend Diamond walked up behind her. She had an evil look on her face, her eyes glowed a demonic red, she was holding her ruby sword. I yelled to mother as loud as I could "MOMMY LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!". It was no use, she couldn't hear me. I watched as Diamond killed my mother. That was the last thing I saw before someone grabbed me and it all.Went.Black. I woke up in the nether and from that day on I was taught how to use my powers and how to work my wings. They trained me under the influence of the shadow lord. I wasn't just a little girl anymore. I was a trained killer. My only friend was a boy named Eli but we will learn about him later. For now, this is goodbye.
