“DEVINA RUN!” My mother screamed at me, I obeyed her and ran straight for my room and slammed the door locking it and moving my chest of drawers in front. Tears streaming down my face I could hardly breathe, I was scared for my life I didn’t know what to do. I grabbed my phone and dialled my brother Martelle’s phone. My hands was shaking like mad and my legs felt like jelly. The phone rang a few times before he answered.
“Dev, what do you want? Its 3am and I have to be up for college in less than 5 hours.” He lazily groaned.
“M-Martelle, the-there’s someone downstairs. He k-killed dad and he’s got mum. H-he slit dads throat there was blood everywhere! I don’t know what to do!” I stuttered trying to speak through the tears and be as quiet as possible.
“Devina, where are you?!” he basically shouted down the phone which made me cry harder.
“m-my room I ran up here, locked my door and barricaded it.” I rushed out.
“okay be as quiet as you can and climb out of the window and run to Scott’s, I am on the way!” and with that he hung up the phone, all the screams and banging around and smashing stopped downstairs and the house was in dead silence. I tiptoed over to the window and opened it as quietly. I sat on the window seal and swung my legs around out of the window and jumped onto the roof just outside my conservatory, I heard a massive bang at my door and turned to see an axe stuck in my door splitting it. My heart was beating so hard against my ribcage I was worried it might break through. I quietly shut my window and made my way to the edge of the roof, there’s a wooden ladder type thing on the wall next to the roof with wisteria twisting around it. I carefully grabbed onto it and hulled myself on to it, I know it’s sturdy because I climb down it all the time when I’m grounded. I slowly climbed down making sure I don’t fall, then I heard smashing and shouting coming from my room. “where the fuck is she?!” is what I made out from a deep husky male voice, was he talking about me? Anyway I don’t care, My feet touched the ground softly and I let go of the ladder and made for the back gate. I swung it open and started running as fast as I could to my brothers friend Scott’s house, It was just coming into view when someone grabbed my arms and forcefully pulled them behind my back and covered my mouth with a funny smelling cloth, I kicked and screamed and tried to get away as much as I could before my body started going limp and my eye lids started to get heavy and then I braced myself for what was going to happen, I’m going to die.
