When you are given bad news you always need time to process what has just been said and that was what I did.
I just stayed still trying to process what my mother had just said,how could this be?
"Jessica, Jessica can you hear me?". Mom asked, snapping me out of my thoughts as I nodded.
I wasn't prepared for the unexpected news she just gave,even though I didn't like him that much he still supported me at times during hard trials.
This was a really big blow to my family. How will I survive this?
I saw him in goo
I walked into the alley and took out the gun from my backpack,the alley was a bit dark but I saw the two unarmed men that was in the car following me walk into the alley with me and I shook my head at their stupidity, they really no nothing about this place because if they did they won't have come here to meet me. I tilted my head to the side as I raised the gun and shot the first man on his shoulder. "Don't move...hands up". I told the other guy with him who raised his hands. "You too". I pointed the gun at the other guy who I shot and he was reluctant to raise his hand. Am sure someone must have heard the gunshot by now,I just hoped that the police were on the way. Even if I wanted to shoot them I still didn't want the police to pry deeper into my life they might find something I don't want anyone to find.
It felt as if I moved an inch that mom would smack my head because I could see how angry she looked, so I stayed put, not breaking eye contact as I spoke."Am not with any gun". I said and her eyes narrowed."Jessica don't joke around with me". Mom warned. "I told you I am not with any gun mom". I stated plainly."Mom, what's wrong?". I heard Rebecca ask as she stood at the stairs. "Nothing... Rebecca". Mom said to Rebecca. "Go and freshen up". Mom said to me as I walked up the stairs like nothing happened. Was she giving up that easily? I thought mom would drag this further but she didn't. I expected her to at least search me….well it doesn't matter if she believed me or not but I needed the gun for my defense. It's not like I loved lying but it was necessary that I defend myself. The l
I stared out the open window of the car as the cool breeze touched my face as the car moved.I would rather be somewhere else but my parents insisted that we must visit Aunt Laura's this holiday since she lived alone in a remote area,I can't believe I would just be seeing cows and chickens on what was supposed to be a nice vacation."Jessica,Jessica!" Mom yelled from her seat in front of the car beside dad.I glanced over to her."You don't have to look so gloomy because we are going to Aunt Laura's,you can't stay alone at home dear". Mom said.If only she knew I would rather stay alone,I
I switched on my phone and the light was the only thing that brightened the dark closet.Rebecca was trembling with fear. What has her all shaken up?"Do you know what?". I asked but got no reply as I shook her and she flinched and snapped out of her thoughts." Do you know what happened ?". I asked again as she shook her head."I..I was j..just in the living room when the lights turned off and I heard our window glass smashing…". Her voice trembled aa she spoke and she paused for a second and took a deep breath." Aunt Laura told us to run and we did,mum and I ran into your room as she told me to hide here". Rebecca ex
I nearly threw up at the sight of a bloody Aunt Laura,her stomach was wide open and I could see the insides of it. I suspected she was cut with a knife.Who could have done such a thing to her? As far as I know Dad painted her as a good and caring woman." What was that?". I heard someone say from downstairs as I stood up from the bloody floor that had soiled my pyjamas and ran towards Rebecca as I dragged her back into the room and closed the door.I opened my backpack and took out my pen knife, it was mostly used for cutting fruits,mum always asked why I carried weapons around and I also in my defense."It's
I smiled at my good luck as I dashed towards it and took the shotgun from where it hung on the wall. Aunt Laura must have encountered such events before; if she hung it in her room,I think she was going to get it before they killed her. I think these men knew her well. They had guns but they still used a knife to kill her, what did she really do to them or were they just here for fun? I had an experience with a shotgun from watching videos online, I know it wasn't much of an experience but if you knew me it was enough. I admired the beauty as I took it,this was the first time I had held this I checked amd saw it was loaded
I decided to go back to the house, so I cautiously ran back to the house and leaned in the walls outside and peeped into the room living window and I saw two men kicking dad in different places as mum was sitting on the floor her hands tied behind her back as sobbed and begged them to stop hitting dad.The torch light was on the table giving to the room.I sighed in relief as I was sure Rebecca wasn't there thank goodness she didn't come out."Please stop, please stop". Mom cried as the men continued their assault on dad.I was looking around the room to see if I could see an opening and run back into the house,this would be difficult since
I stayed in the bushes just waiting for them to come out of the house.I knew they would sooner or later because they were morons and didn't know the first thing about a hunting game.They came to hunt us but the hunters became the hunted.Minutes later they ran out of the house in search of me and I was tempted to shoot them but I held it in.Even if I was so happy with the freedom I was given I still couldn't kill them all so that the police won't investigate me and dog their nose into where they shouldn't.I needed to try and get into the hotel first and
