The Darksoul's Secret

The Fire

It was late September, when the leaves were stuck in their beautiful colors, that this season became much less beautiful. The sky was dark that day and it was dry from the lack of rain. Sonya and Blitz were playing in the yard when they heard a loud crash. Thunder had struck for the first time in three months. Blitz froze and looked around for a moment before running to the house. Sonya followed her older brother and hid under a table.

"Sonya," Blitz asked smiling a bit,"why are you hiding?"

Sonya thought about the question," Why aren't you? The thunder means lightning and lighting means storms. I don't like storms!"

"How many times must I tell y-" Blitz was interrupted with another crash, this one was much louder than before. He looked out the window and saw that lighting had stuck the barn.

"Blitz? Is everything ok?" Sonya asked, shaking because of the storm.

"We have to go. NOW!" Blitz said as he ran to the barn. Sonya didn't follow.

Blitz ran to the barn and realized that his parents were inside. He listened for a moment, waiting for them to say something there was no response.

"MOM! DAD! SAY SOMETHING PLEASE!" Blitz cried as his tears fell from his face onto his paws.

Sonya heard the cry and ran outside. She said nothing and just stared at the flames as they grew. She began to cry herself when she heard the fire pop. Blitz ran over to her and hugged her. Their faces both became soaked with tears.
