War is like a hell. Its a good place to die and a good place to suffer. Everything is chaos with so many blood, gun fires and many building had been collapsed and destroy. The smell of the death, rotting flesh from all of the fallen comrades and enemies. The cool wind that blows around you doesn't seem to help to rid of the disgusting smells. The smells of dust, smoke and blood form the surrounding area.

As you venture further into the hell of screams and shouts from nearby soldiers get progressively louder. Gunshots and explosions are surrounding closer as you continue creeping further into depths of hell. Debris from explosions are landing closer and closer around you.

You were running into the hell with your parent and little sister who were much younger than you. Your little hand was grabbed by your fathers rough and big hand. Your little sister, Aurora was held closer and protectively by your mothers embrace. A small family and filthy cloth and been torn and cut bruises who were trying to surviving from the explosions and gun fires that were surrounded your family.

The city had been crushed, crumbled and completely destroy by the explosion of the bomb from the enemy. Another explosion came nearby and almost killed your family. Your mother and sister fell on the ground together and Aurora who was still 5 years old started to cry in her mothers arm.

"Mama!"

She cried to her mother and your mother look at her angelic cute face with tears on her bright baby blue eyes. She tried to soothed her daughter to make sure shes not crying anymore and calmed her with her beautiful voice. While shes doing that, your father turned around and hurried back to her side with you still in his armed.

"Emma are you okay?" He said in worried in his eyes and help her up to get on her feet again.

"I'm okay Jacob. We need to get out from here quick!" But before they can continue running like a refugee, an army from the enemy have already surrounding them with guns on their hands, aiming at them and ready to shoot if there's any threat. Jacob release his hand from yours and raise in the air with both hands to show that he was unharmed and moved forward slowly. A sudden panicked attack you when he released your hand and move forward.

"Papa no!" I started to cried and grabbed the sleeved his shirt with my small hands. Jacob turn around and looked at you with a sad and terrified on his face.

"Luna my dear, go to your mother and stay behind me. No matter what happen, whatever happen to me, take a good care of your mother and sister, understood?" I just nodded my head while sobbing tears and ran behind to my mother who held closer to my sister.

When I reached to her, she quickly opened her armed and held me in her embrace, protectively along with my sister who was still in her tears. Feared and terrified were clearly showed in his face and he slowly looked at the enemies with guns on their hands.

"Please I don't want to cause any trouble. We just want to pass by and find a safe place for my family." He tried to explain to the soldiers but apparently he can't just beg to the soldiers especially with the enemy that make war in your country. But the soldier doesn't say anything or neither put the guns down either.

Then there this man maybe in mid thirty or forty with a lot of badges and stars on his cloth. His cloth looked different than the other soldiers and that make him looks like he as the higher position in the army. He looked at us and smile like this is fun for him.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here? My, my what a beautiful family you have here. I must say, your daughters look so beautiful even though very filthy." He still with his smug smile on his face when he looked at me and my sister.

"Please sir,--" Before Jacob even said anything, the man interrupting him.

"Where are my manner? Forgive me for not introducing myself. I'm a Commander Hubermann at your service. You and your family really in the wrong place and the wrong time too."

"Commander Hubermann please have mercy on my family. We were just want to pass by and find a safe place for my family." Jacob know that it is useless to beg for mercy especially to the enemy that having a war in your city.

"Have mercy you say. Maybe I can give you mercy if you gave both of your daughters to me. They make a very good specimen for our project."

"No! Have me instead but not my daughters please." Jacob was trying to controlled himself before he makes any more trouble while his wife and his daughters were crying behind him.

"Well you only make things even worst." Commander Hubermann said in a very bored tone in his voice while taking the guns from one of the soldiers hand and shoot Jacob in the chest without any warning.

BANG!

Jacob hold his chest and there was blood on his hand. He suddenly kneeled down and fall on the ground. A warm blood quickly rushing through out on his shirt and dripping on the ground. Emma was yelling in horrid of what happen to her husband and quickly rushing to him. She sat beside her husband while holding his chest to stop from bleeding more while sobbing beside him. His bloody hand touched her cheeks softly to wiped her tears.

I also running while holding Aurora in my armed and quickly sat beside my mother and we looked at my father lying there with blood everywhere. I started to sobbing tears and touched his cheeks. His grey eyes look at me with so much love but yet very weak until his eyelids close and stopped breathing.

We were all yelling and crying of his death and the man who killed him just watching us grieving our fathers death. Then our mother stand and looked at them with such an anger in her eyes.

"You did this. He doesn't want any trouble with you but you killed him." She said with his blood all over on her hands and cloth now.

"I know. It's just the way we do it anywhere and now your daughters will be an orphan soon." The realization hit her when he said that but it was too late because another loud shoot hit on her abdomen. She can feel the blood bleeding from her abdomen and slowly she fell on the ground.

When I saw that happen, I was screaming for her and running beside to her. Her bright blue eyes were lifeless now and she doesn't breath anymore. I said no for so many times while sobbing like a crazy traumatic child. My hands that were covered with my fathers blood now mixed with her blood.

Aurora was still crying beside our father's death body but then she stood on her feet and quickly came to me. When she near to me, I quickly hugged her and never let her go from my embrace.

"Get them. I want both of them in the quarter now." The Commander command the soldiers and they quickly grabbed both of us. I started to scream and fighting them but it was useless because I was still 7 years old and still a little child. They take us in and locked us into the abyss of darkness.
