The Mighty Fall

Did you trip down 12 steps...

   I woke up to a loud sound that I couldn't identify right away. I grabbed my switch blade and headed to my door. I opened it realizing what sound I was hearing. The flames were intensely hot and the smoke was getting in my eyes. Then I heard her screams. "LUCY," I cried out. I quickly headed towards her room, but was two late. "OCTA-," she screamed, but was cut off by a piece of the ceiling collapsing on her. "LUUUCCCY," I screamed and reached out towards her, but another part of the ceiling was about to collapse on me.

   I dodge it and kept moving down the hall way I passed my parents room. What I saw horrified me my dad was pined to the floor by a piece of the ceiling. "DAD," I screamed. "Octavia... get out and.. find... Wat-," my father said, but he was also cut off by the ceiling collapsing on him. "NOOO," i sobbed out. I need to keep moving... keep... moving. It was getting hard to breathe. I lifted my shirt up over my nose and mouth steadying my breathing. I headed down the stairs quickly and carefully.

     I then a loud crack and looked up. A part of the ceiling was falling towards me I tried to dodge it, but it fell on my left shoulder.I cried out in pain. I tried to get out from under and luckily did. I ran out the front door to see part of the top floor of my house to concave. I turned around I didn't want to watch it fall apart.  I then remembered what my dad said. "Octavia... get out and.. find... Wat-". What did he mean who was he talking about? I was going through my memories trying to find anything around what he said. There I found it.

    ~Flash back~

   My family were sitting at the table enjoying dinner. "Daddy," Lucy asked, "What were you like when you were younger." I dad looked up from his food. I could tell he was in deep thought thinking about his past. "Well..Um... You see I was an Orphan at a young age," My dad replied, "I was at this orphanage called Whammy's House where genius orphans go. I was found by a man named Watari he brought me there with another little boy." I looked at my father he smiled remembering the memories of those days. "You must off been brilliant then," I said to my father. "Ahh.. not as brilliant as you Viv," He replied getting up and ruffling my hair. I giggled.

~End of Flash back~

    All I had to do was find Whammy's house and ask for Watari. Simple, right? No, it is not simple I live 40 minutes away from Winchester by car. I was estimating at least a 2 hour walk if I kept a consistent pace. Luckily i remembered every detail how to get there. Here I go off on my journey to find a safe haven.

*Time skip*

    Yes, I was finally in Winchester the sun just rising. I headed down the road to find Whammy's House. Some one would have to be up by now I was estimating the time was 6:00 a.m. I was down the street and saw about 20 meters away was Wammy's house. I went to run, but my shoulder hurt and I whimpered. I slowly started heading towards the building, but i felt a rain drop.

   Great, just what i needed. It started to rain harder and every drop that hit my shoulder caused me to tremble in pain. Almost there keep walking... al most there. I knocked on the door and soon some one was there. Everything was getting blurry and the I could see the black spots all over my vision.  "Are you all right miss," asked a older man. "My.. dad..told...me ...to find...Watari,"I whispered before falling into the darkness.
