"The sky is so clear tonight" Nelson said as his eyes shimmered like a thousand lights.

"Hehe, its beautiful isnt it bro?" I said letting out a small giggle as i studdied the amazment on my brothers face.

"Whats so funny!?!?" He said sitting up and glaring at me.

"Oh its nothing, just cant belive that this sky is so captivating no matter how many times i look at it" i let out a satisfied sigh. Distant screams filled my ears and both me and Nelson looked at eachother in horror. We darted out of the clearing we were stargazing in and ran to tue village. I will never forget that image for as long as i live. The sight stunned me as our home was being burned to the ground. My brother ran in before i could grab him so i ran in after him. Following my brother we ran to our house and my dog came limping out. I ran to him and held him close as i burry my face in his smoke and ash coverd furr. My brother stopped in his tracks as the expression turnd from worry to horror. My eyes followed my brothers gaze. Tears started to stream from my eyes. My mother.....the one person besides my brother i could trust....was dead.
