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 for self defense". I would always say in my defense.
A Lady needs to know how to defend herself. There is evil lurking around every corner.
To be honest there was a different reason why I carried it, I was fascinated by it.
"A..aunt Laura ..they are going to kill us". She cried out as I covered her mouth and leaned her against the wall.
" Sh….". I said as I guided her with the torch back into the closet.
My sister can be so clueless at times.
Why did she scream? I had a hunxh as to what it was but it didn't make get the that bothered.
"Stay here". I said as I walked to the door and leaned on the wall beside the door with the torchlight on.
The man kicked the door open as he flashed his torch light into the room and then on the floor,he saw the blood footprint.
Damn blood it ruined my pyjamas.
" Come out and I won't harm you ". He said as he cautiously took a step into the room.
" Come out come out little girls". He chuckled as he walked into the room fully before he could turn to me. I jumped on him and stabbed his neck as he tossed me aside like a rag doll and my back hit the wall and I groaned in pain. He's Strong but I was smarter and I got up immediately limping a little from the sudden impact and ran out the door as I heard him shoot his gun without any direction.
I was sure I stabbed the man in the neck,but one can't be so sure.
His colleagues came running up the stairs and I wanted to run into my parents room but it was locked.
Oh come on of all times this had to be locked and the bolt was working,I dashed into another room.
I made it just in time before they could see me.
"Sam!Sam!" I heard the man call.
I leaned on the wall as I used my hands for directions as I went further into the room,I could risk turning on the torch,I stabbed my toe on something and I gritted my teeth and took a deep breath. I can't scream and give away my position.
I was not a foreigner to pain,it always stayed with me.
"Find them!Find them!". I heard someone shout.
I hope Rebecca won't act stupid and leave the closet.
I heard footsteps approaching me,the man kicked open the door and flashed his torchlight into the room.
I was just leaning by the side of the door unarmed as he shot into the room in different directions,but mostly concentrated on the bed. I covered my ear with my hands praying that he wouldn't come in.
He must have thought that would be where all scared tenngers would hide. I scoffed at his stupidity.
After shooting into the room and bed aimlessly raising dust from the bed ,he stopped. I had to cover my nose with my palm so I wouldn't cough,this must be the guest room that wasn't used frequently.
" Did you see her?" Someone asked.
"No". The man shooting into the room replied.
How can he see me when he's too scared to walk into the room?
" Damn it ,the girls killed Sam!". He yelled.
So he died? Good for me.
I thought he would have survived after that stab ,I thought it was a shallow stab. I rejoiced in my heart at a job well done,they killed Aunt Laura. I killed one of them. It was fair.
I haven't felt so free before.
"He's a fool for dying in the hands of little city girls". He said as he spat on the floor.
Disgusting.
Being in the middle of nowhere where sound was heard,did anyone hear the shooting?
Who would even call for help at this time,I didn't even know what time it was.
" Let's go downstairs, we have unfinished business there". The man said as I heard retreating steps.
How do they know we were girls?
Were they spying on us?
This doesn't add up,they clearly didn't come here to steal that's for sure but what could Aunt Laura have done for them to come here?
For a minute I thought my mom was the one who was on the floor,good thing it wasn't. I would have flipped if I saw her there and I know well enough it won't end well,I needed to be calm in this situation.
I know they were either waiting for me outside to make a move or they were still searching for me, I didn't hear footsteps and so I suspected that they went downstairs but I can't be so sure,maybe they were waiting for me to make a move and then they shot me.
But I had to go see what happened to my mom.
I was still contemplating what to do when I heard footsteps and mom crying.
" Let go of me!You animals !". I heard her cry.
I knew she was struggling with them,that means she was safe.
I heard a slap and she kept quiet and my heart filled with rage,my body shook how dare they hit her.
"Look what your kids did to my friend!". The man shouted.
I tiptoed to the door and opened it slightly to see the two men in the hallway,their flashlights were on as they pointed into the my room where the dead body of their friend lay.
The man holding mom was gripping her hair so tightly that I was sure it was hurting her scalp, she was crying silently.
" They didn't do this, they ain't here". Mom said as she shook her head vigorously. But she knew too well who did it.
The man slapped her again.
"Shut up and stop lying. I saw your two daughters, just pray I don't get my hands on them ….I will make them suffer...but in the meantime why don't I make you suffer.". He said.
If he suspected that it was us and not Dad that killed his friend, then where is dad?
I hope they didn't kill him?
" I will count from 1 to 6 and if you don't come out your mother pays for your crimes girls,I hope you ain't that heartless to see your mom get killed!". The man yelled.
"1..2.."
"Don't come…". The second man hit mom's stomach with the back of his shotgun as her leg grew weak but the other held her hair tightly.
" Ah!". She cried in pain.
A normal person should have run out to save her by now but I was nowhere near normal.
"Shut up". the man said to my crying mom.
"Just let them go, they are still kids' '. Mom cried.
" Kids? Kids wouldn't murder a man".the man scoffed.
A man should murder a woman.
That man deserves whatever happened to him.
"3...4…"
A glass smashing downstairs interrupted the man's counting and three gunshots fired as the other went to check what happened,I snuck out slowly and made my way to Aunt Laura's room,when he reached the end of the hallway gunshots were fired at him as he dodged and I dashed into aunt Laura's room.
Good thing it wasn't locked. At least having old and rusty bolts now can be handy.
Who shot the gun?
Something made me believe that dad was still alive.
I turned on my flashlight and the first thing it landed on was a shotgun hung on the wall.
Oh my goodluck.
My face turned into a sick smile.
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
I ran as fast as I could but I wasn't faster than who was chasing after me as he drew my backpack from behind and I fell back and my butt landed on the floor. The gun was still firmly in my home but my phone fell on the impact. I turned to shoot him but he was strong. There's no doubt as he kicked my back and my face fell flat on the floor but I was still holding the gun as if my life depended on it. I wasn't the type to act reckless. I calculated everything I did.He crouched down and held onto my hair dragging me up. The biggest mistake he made as I tried to hit him with the tip of the gun but he held onto his hand and dragged it out of my hands while holding me down with his other hand. I knew he was strong but not this strong.I was overpowered but I wasn't feeling scared one bit. The only thing I felt was exci
FLASHBACK Rebecca and I were playing with our dolls when I snatched Rebecca's fool from her hands and when she tried to take it back I held unto it more tightly and refused to let go as she cried and called mum,I was 5 then and she was 6 years but I was always the strong one that would never cry. "Mommy! mommy!". Rebecca called tearily but I refused to let go of the doll.I like seeing her upset and crying. Mum came running into our room when Rebecca cried more loudly,mom glanced over to my doll beside me and then at me dragging Rebecca's doll with her and walked up to us and knelt in front of us and took the doll from us and gave it back to Rebecca,she took my doll from beside me and gave it to me but I tossed it angrily on the floor. &n
I waited for a long time before I concluded that Paul wasn't going to show up even after Felix screamed,I guess he has no compunction for his colleagues.He is indeed a heartless man.I think Paul only cares about his brother who I killed so I guess he isn't bothered.My body was still hurting and my stomach felt as if it's insides were twisted. It was an uncomfortable feeling and I didn't like it one bit.I limped closer to the house since my body refused to function properly since Felix gave me the beating of my life so when I was limping back to the house I followed where he lay and spat on him and continued limping to the house,he beat me up pretty badly and I didn't like it my
I was so nervous as I stared at the office that mom and dad had brought me to,my 7 year old self didn't like it one bit,I was not comfortable with the woman who crossed her leg sitting with her legs crossed."What is your name?". The woman asked me in particular and I had to state up to my mom and she smiled at me."Jessica". I replied to the lady who smiled in return."That's nice to hear Jessica,my name is Miss Sarah and we would be seeing each other often so I look forward to our meeting,now let's begin…..how did you feel when you stabbed your mother?". She asked and I narrowed my eyebrows.I didn't say anything because I saw no need to know who this stranger was that mom and dad brought me to."Jessica dear, please answer". Mum said."I didn't feel anything". I replied and that was the truth I felt nothing.It felt as if it was t
It was dark in the visitors room but I didn't hear any footsteps anymore and then I opened the door and tried knocking on my door again this time the door opened and I went in."Thank goodness you are alright". Mom cried out as she hugged me.I won't say I was alright because all parts of my body hurt but I could still move so it's alright I guess.She and Rebecca pushed the wardrobe on the door,guess they grew smart enough to know that they should just leave the door open.I turned on the torch and mom gasped when she saw my bloody body."Were you shot?"Are you alright?". Mom asked worriedly as she checked my body for injuries.Typicalom ,even though I didn't complain about feeling pain,she would always check my body for bruises any time I returned back home from school. It was not as if I was being bullied
