Pity.
"Omma!,Appa(mom,dad) I'm home!" I exclaimed as I dropped my school bag onto the tiled floor.
Silence was all I got as a response.
I felt a wave of terror as heard a loud bang that rung through the house.
I crept to my parent's room and saw something my mind couldn't quite register...my father dead.cold on the floor was the first thing I noticed. I looked over to my mother as tears stained both our cheeks.
I was frozen on the spot.
A man, with a gun pointed to her temple.
"This you're daughter!!" He screamed as he held me up against his chest, arm around my neck as the gun shifted to my head. I said nothing. Did nothing.
I was helpless
I'd rather MY life than my mother's.
"Leave her alone!!!" She screeched at the man who didn't even flinch.
He turned the gun back to my mother.
"Numbers! Now!" He demanded
She looked at me with a forced smile,"Don't worry. Remember our promise?. I love yo-"
Bang!
Dead.
Black
___________
"Ugh" I groaned rubbing my head to find my dead parents being carried in an ambulance in body bags.
I was being carried by an officer.
"Hey!!! Let me go!! Why are they in that!! What's wrong!!" I screamed trying to get out of his grip.
I looked around and saw our house on fire. All our neighbours watching from afar. Some saying
Poor girl
That's so sad
What a tragedy.
What happened
"Don't worry. Everything is gonna be fine. " the officer said while patting my head.
I was now sitting in the police car.
"Here" "this is what's left" he said with pitiful eyes.
A note attached to a camera. That's when everything kicked in....death.blood.tears.gun.
Memories surged through my mind sending shivers through my mind as I fell into black again.
My parents are dead.
Murdered
My mother sacrificed her life for mine.
Andwae?
But why?
