When My Life Came To An End

The Beginning

"Ahhhhhh!"

What the fuck is that? I jump up and put my bunny slippers on. I walk downstairs and see my mom and Ivory hugging each other and my dad trying to board up the windows while holding a knife.

"What's going on dad?" He doesn't even acknowledge me.

Suddenly, there's a crash from the kitchen. I look and hear moaning.

"What the fuck is that?" Nobody responds.

Suddenly, my dad is yelling.

"Go to the attic now!"

We run up the stairs and mom hurries and pulls the string to the attic down. We all climb up the creaky stairs and I see the inside of the dusty attic.

I hear my dad grunting.

I look down and see him stabbing people.

"Dad, stop!" I yell but he doesn't listen to me.

My mom pulls me back and says, "Clean up the attic and take Ivory with you."

I grab Sarah and take her to the corner, she's holding onto her unicorn tightly.

"Sissy?"

"Yeah?"

"Are we going to die?" She asks in a frightened voice.

"No, were going to be fine. Just help me clean the attic. Okay?"

"Okay."

She helps me clean the attic, while my mom is helping my dad kill the intruders. I don't know why they're killing innocent people.

Then I hear silence.

I hear heavy footsteps come up the stairs. I get ready to defend myself.

"Kids?!" My mom quietly shouts.

"Yeah, we're over here." They come up and help us clean. It's quiet throughout the whole time.

Once we're done we sit down in a circle.

"Mom, Dad?"

They both look up and nod their heads.

"What's happening?"

They don't say anything but, "Don't worry about it just go to sleep."

So I lay down and my sister cuddles up to my mom while my dad still has the knife in his hands staring blankly into the dark.

I don't fall asleep because I'm scared of what's happening outside. I hear gunshots, yelling, cars beeping and honking like there's no tomorrow.

"Dad?"

"Yeah"

"What's happening?"

He looks at me and says. "I don't know."

Then he says something that breaks my heart.

"If your mom and I die, I need you to take care of Ivory. You have to do everything in your power to survive, alright honey?"

"But your not going to die, dad. You're staying here with mom, Ivory, and me." I say nervously.

"I know sweetheart but you have to face the facts and the facts are hard to face. We might die. Your mom and I are at an old age we can't survive like how you and Ivory can." He says quietly.

"But like I said, your not going to d-" he cuts me off.

"Listen!" He shouts quietly.

"It is a fact me and your mom will die. You!" He points at me.

"Have to survive, okay?"

"Okay."

He scotches over to me and hugs me tightly. I hug him back.

"I love you my fluffy bunny."

I laugh.

"Dad, I'm not 6 anymore." I point out.

"I know but your still my little girl."

"Yeah yeah." I roll my eyes.

I finally go to sleep but it's in my dad's safe and comforting arms.

I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow but I know I'm not ready for it.
