The City Of Beginnings

Chapter 2

I hid behind a tree. I was running for so long that I couldn't breathe anymore. I looked from the side of the tree and sighed in relief. He wasn't anywhere to be found. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder "Tag you're it!" Said my brother and ran away "No fair" I yelled "you're faster" and started running behind him. "well thats what you get for being younger" he responded to me right before he bumped into a tree. He fell on the ground and didn't move "Gapi" I yelled and ran to him. He moaned and clutched his forehead he had a wound on it and there was blood running dow his cheek.

But something seemed wrong. The blood wouldn't stop coming. And suddenly the trees disappeared and were replaced with darkness. I was standing in a puddle of blood. My brother was lying in a strange position and his clothes were ripped. "No" I whispered "No" I said louder while backing away. I bumped into something hard I turned around and there was the man who killed my brother. He lifted his hand and I saw he had domething in it. It was a really big knife. He looked me in the eyes. Something about them made me shiver. He swung his knife.

"NO!" I screamed and lifted myself up. I looked around myself and saw water. It was bright enough to see everything, but the Sun wasn't were it was supposed to be. It was blocked by really dark clouds. I sat up and curled into a ball. I started crying. I was afraid. I had no one. The knife man took everybody away. He is a bad man. The one that doesn't deserve to live. I sniffed and looked at the water again. It was beautiful.

It gave me a feeling that somehow I will be alright. But it was just a feeling. Nothing more.

I felt like I had no power but I forced myself to rise. I had a big lump in my throat and I had trouble breathing. My body hurt. It was funny that I couldn't find any wounds from the jump it sure felt like it. I turned around. The first thing I spotted were trees. Then I realised it was a forest. My home had trees too I remembered. I felt my chest become heavy. I wanna go home I thought to myself.
