I stared at the scene infront of me.i wanted  to scream but I couldn't. I wanted to cry but no tears came.it was like I was stuck in a trance every thing looked blurred and surreal.

The smoke.
The blue and red lights.
The stretchers.
The faint hearing of my name.

"Sierra! You need to leave here now. Sierra!! Listen to me" I felt my shoulders being shook but I couldn't comprehend.

A flash of white caught my attention.in the darkness I could still see the outline of a body.my heart skipped a beat.the body was not open but covered from head to toes with a white sheet.I ran

"Sierra! No" someone had yelled but I didnt have the strength to look back.my mind was going haywire.with each step I took I increased my pace. Till I reached the very body.i didnt know if i was prepared to know who was under the sheet about to be taken to the ambulance.with shaking hands I lifted the cover.And that's when it happened.

I died.

Because I swore that the day my mother would be gone I'll die with her.it had been a joke we usually cracked. But now I wasn't in the park having a picnic with her nor was I shopping for the best Christmas gift I could give Dad with her.

now I was in front of a burnt down house with police cars sparred everywhere,ambulances scattered around,.sirens ringing like bells in my ear.

The tears finally came uncontrollably.
I grabbed her hand slapping her face lightly . "mum! Mum wake up please I know your sleeping, mum. NOOOOOOO!".I screamed till my lungs felt dry

I heard shouts and I looked up from a distance I saw two men all dressed in black as they approached it looked like they were falling and swirling No i needed to stay conscious to be able to wake mama.

Next thing I know I couldn't breath and just as I was about to fall the men grabbed me I tried struggling but it was no use. Black spots began to take over my vision.

Then it hit me i was never going to see my mama again.i gave up.

I gave up.
