Un-Broken Silence

"Leave him alone! Please! AHHH!!!" I screamed as they continuously stabbed my dad all over.

"Please, stop! Daddy do something please!" Emily cried as they dragged her in the middle of the room.

"Leave them alone please! Lea-AHH!!" I cried as I saw them rip open Emily's shirt and began touching her.

My dad tried to break free from the grip of the men but he was too weak and his wounds were very deep and bleeding badly.

I tried to get out of the ropes but it was no use. I was so weak and thin from all the torture that my lungs felt like they were about to collapse. I heard my sister scream out and what I saw was beyond my age.... "NO!!!"

I shot up from my bed panting, sweating, crying. I looked around my surroundings to see that I was in my room. I laid down afraid to speak.

That happened eight years ago and from then, I have been afraid to speak. I know that I have my brothers to protect me but those days still drive fear into me even now.

I drown in my past, all the fear, all the torture... they haunt me even now. Darkness consumes your soul and everyone around you is good... but to me... I can't trust them. Silence became my friend. It's the only one I can trust. This is me...

I am the human statue.
