When My Life Came To An End

What happens now?

I woke up to peace and quiet. I sit up and everything comes flooding back to me.

What is going on? Why are people trying to kill us?

My dad sits up and it seems like he's gearing up. For what? I don't know.

Everyone wakes up with a fright and it seems like everything rushes back to them too. My dad stands up and looks at us.

"When I go down there, I want you to follow me. Grab all the things you need and walk back up to the attic. Do it quietly and quickly." My dad says urgently.

"Okay." We all said simultaneously.

We walk down quietly. My dad first then me, Sarah, last is my mom.

My dad has the knife in front of him, ready to defend his self at all costs.

You know something always pop out, black people don't play.

We walk down the stairs quielty. My dad looks around and waves his hand.

"I want all of you to get a knife or some type of weapon. Except Ivory."

"But daddy, I want a weapon too!" Ivory screamed.

"Shhh!" My dad told her. "You're too young to have a weapon, let alone a knife."

He went and checked the whole house. My mom and I went and found a knife.

I wonder what's happening outside. I don't hear anything at all. I don't even hear the loud chirping of birds.

Then we hear a crash.

I look up and see my dad running back to us screaming.

"Go back up stairs, now!" Ivory's scream for their attention.

We run upstairs but we forgot we closed the attic door. So my mom goes and pulls the lever down. We hurriedly run up the stairs, but I turn around to see my dad on the ground with the intruders biting and pulling at him.

"Dad! Get up!"

"Go! I love you, take care of your sister for me!" He screams.

There were more intruders coming to the loud commotion.

"Go, hurry up!" My mom screams.

We went up the stairs but a stranger caught her ankle. She screams as they pull her down and she bumps her head. There was blood everywhere.

"Mom!" I yell.

"Help!"

I went down and grabbed ahold of her hand and pushed with all my might but she wouldn't budge.

"Let go, honey." She says sweetly.

"No, mom! You can't leave us!"

"Save yourself and your sister, I love you so much!"

"Mom! No!" But she let go and they circled around her and started biting her. It looked like they were eating her alive.

Ivory was crying loudly in the attic with her unicorn. One of the strangers looked up and ran towards me but I ran the rest of the way up the stairs and quickly shut the door.

I was breathing hard.

"Shhh Sarah, it's going to be alright."

She ran to me and cried quietly.

"They're not going to get us. We're safe."

"But mommy and daddy aren't safe." She said.

I didn't say anything because what are you suppose to say to your 10 year old sister when her parents just died right in front of her eyes.
