A/N: I APOLIGISE OMFG I AM LATE, ONCE AGAIN -.-

I live in an illegal village at the base of a large volcano. My family is poor and cannot afford a real home in the city. Everyday, we are afraid that the volcano will erupt and our small village will be completely wiped out. We live out in fear that everyday could be our last. 

"Misa! Help me here!" My mom called for me. I headed out side when suddenly, I felt the ground almost rumble. My eyes widened and fear crept into my stomach, making me shudder all over. "The volcano!" 

I peered up and saw lava slowly flowing from the rim of the volcano as ash and rocks fell into our village. I heard some screams as some lava landed right before my eyes. 

"We need to evacuate!" The men of the village shouted. Thankfully, we had only less than fifty people in our village and could evacuate fast. I followed everyone as people panicked to try to get to safety. I could see the lava pour out of the volcano and rocks forming along the way. We weren't too far away from the volcano itself.

I frantically searched for my mom and little brother but could no find them and was swarmed away by the group of people rushing to leave.

I raced against the people, in the opposite direction just to see my mom sobbing without my little brother.

I rushed to her and tried to get her to evacuate but she wouldn't budge, she just stared a body on the ground. 

It was my brother. His face was burned and he lied motionless on the ground. A tear slipped my face as eroding lava came pouring down and suddenly, I am swimming in a pool of lava. 

And somehow, I'm not dead.
