destiny's mistake

chapter one

My eyes were blurry..
Sweat dripping off my forehead more from the anxiety I was facing rather than the fact that I was running..
My heart beat was unsteady reminding me of the heart shattering murder I had just witnessed. I tripped and landed on my face.. Ouch! My knee hurt!...
But I couldn't stop , if they had killed her they were probably coming for me or maybe both of us..
No!  I couldn't let that happen..
I wouldn't! So I ran faster
..i let the wind cleanse the physical part of my pain..
Remind me that tomorrow could be better.. That it had to be, or at least I'd make her think it was..
Cause that was my responsibility and as a good soldier..
I wasn't going to give up on my mission

I quickly maneuvered the corners that led to our humble home and relief hit me as I saw it within a distance.. I was going to make it!

I stumbled inside the house I had learnt to call home and I was relieved when I saw my baby sister sleeping in her bed..
No idea of the horrors that the night beheld.

Lifting her slowly off the bed, I started making my way for the door when I heard voices downstairs..
THEY were here! Well there went my plan for not waking up this beautiful angel!

I shook her slowly and for a split second as her hazel eyes opened I forgot the pain..
I saw hope..
Then it turned into confusion.

Placing my finger on my lips I set her slowly on the floor

Her look was questioning but she understood the danger that was lurking in the air..

The quickest way out of the house was already blocked and the window wouldn't be of help as the dogs at the back would cause a ruckus..

I HAD TO FACE THEM!!

I made my way down the stairs almost breathlessly as the shivers on my spine reminded me that I had never killed anyone..

But maybe I didn't have to kill anyone..

"Hello?!.....Dad?... Is that you?? " I asked and watched all of them turn to  me in confusion

"Where's mom ?? " I asked my voice breaking...
Then what had been quiet sobs turned into wails...
"I want my mother! " I screamt...

They were wearing masks but I could tell which one was the leader..
He had an aura of ego around him and his assassins seemed to appreciate it...

Well this could either go well or I'd be joining my mother in her grave..
Was I really ready to die?  I didn't think so!! There was no turning back anyway ....

                                                                           

"Miss petrova?!"

I looked up and I was met by Mrs. Green's furious eyes... This was not going to end well.

I raised my eyebrow hoping she would repeat whatever question or theory she'd just said but she wasn't budging, she just stared at me like I  had stolen candy from her kid.

"what? "

I tried to sound kind but my resting bitch face and voice didn't allow me  ...her facials twisted in irritation then she scoffed and walked away..

That wasn't my fault was it? ..i didn't think so too

The nightmares were becoming too much but I didn't have much of a choice..
I had learnt how to live with it..
I wasn't going to stop now
