The Dead VS The Living

I remember when I was a little girl maybe a bout 6 to 8 my family and I would live in the woods of  Atlanta in a small cabin. I was always a talkative kid  and would play a lot as many normal kids would.

My life was peaceful, I had my family my dog, Luna ,and all the toys I could ask for. even though we lived in a cabin in the woods my parents would give anything just to make me happy it was a good life.

But one night that all changed when their was a banging on the door, we were confused there wasn't much people around were we lived so it was strange. My mother held me close on the couch as my father went to the door cautiously and opened it to reveal a very pale man staring lifelessly at my father. "Are you alright sir? You look pale." my father asked concerned.

What happened next will scar me for the rest of my life, the pale man growled, my father went to touch his shoulder when the 'man' bit his arm causing my father to scream.

" HENRY!"

my mother screamed for my father as tears ran down her face I sat in her arms frozen. Luna came in barking at the pale 'man' but the thing just ignored the puppy, Luna bit at him but the thing just hit him back causing the small golden retriever to yelp and fly across the room landing next to us. Father fought against the thing and looked at us holding back tears and mouthed 'run'.

Without a second thought my mother picked me up along with Luna and ran to the other room running away from my fathers screams. She ran to the closet and opened it putting me inside with Luna. "don't leave this closet until I come get you Luna will protect you,okay?" tears brimmed my eyes and my high small voice came out cracked, " Mommy please don't go! Please! " I begged her to not go but she just smiled at me and gave me her key neckless and kissed my head. "I love you princess, keep this key you will know why when your older.". She smiled once more and closed the closet door.

I curled in to a ball hugging luna as she whimpered and I cried silently, there was silence until their was screaming a ear piercing scream of my mother.

she is gone

I'm alone......
