"Im Home!"
I decide to hide quickly for whatever reason, i go out my window stealithily and hide in the dog house we used to have, i barely manage to fit in but i make it work.
I start stressing, thinking about what could possibly be going on.
Some time has passed, which has felt like forever.
Then i remember something, i forgot to close the window, i throw a small peek at the window from the doghouse and notice the window open and a figure, a dark figure, i cant make alot of it but it looks like a man, it aint dad so?
My curiosity gets the best of me and i am still looking to see what he's doing, he keeps searching my room like, he's looking for something.
Wait a minute
Is he looking for
For
Me?
I immediately stick my head back in, and i start praying.
Please, god, please spare me.
Suddenly i hear my window creaking and breaking a bit, and a jump sound, then footsteps, they get increasingly louder and louder, signaling the man is getting close.
Am i really done for.
Im gonna die.
No, no, i cant, not now, not yet.
I dont want to die.
No not yet
God plea-
"Should i? Eh no, what am i saying, no human can fit inside a doghouse, especially not one of that size."
A manly voice, it aint dad, he seems to be going back? Has god answered my prayers?
The footsteps start to get quieter and quie-
"Ah what the hell, can never be to sure."
Im fucked.
The man gets closer and closer and i start accepting my fate.
Bang
A gunshot? Im terrified and basically frozen in place, the man stopped too, did someone kill him?
"A gunshot? Did she kill someone?"
"That fucking dumb bitch. Hopefully Matilda didnt kill that young one, i dont like dead bodies."
Matilda, what?, who?,
The mans footsteps get away slower and slower.
Im saved.
After what feels like eternity, i hear a car starting up, and after another 10 minutes of silence, i decide to go out. I go around the house and see tire marks on the front, i decide to investigate and also see some blood.
What happend?
Should, should i go after them?
I enter the house and eat whatever tiny scraps of food we got left, i sit at the dinner table, all by myself, wondering if my family is dead, even worse if i can do it anything about it.
How could this happen?
Why did this happen?
I glance at the knife i used to cut my bread
Should i? I mean, i cant, i cant survive.
I grab the knife
I cant.
I start to break down in tears
I cant. Not, how could they.
How could they take them, my dad, my mom, my sister.
Brother, i wonder what what would you do.
I lay by my window, look once again at the doghouse and see a falling star pass, makes the dark beautiful night sky shine even more.
I sigh, take a deep breath and make a wish.
It's been 4 days.
Its been, i think 4 days, ever since the incident, i still have no idea where my family are, i dont sleep well, dont eat well, cant think straight and my mind has started to see things.
I've been walking for 2 days, exhausted, but i gotta keep following these track tires, while they're still here atleast, i cant just give up on my family, i know dad wouldn't, i know brother wouldn't, even though he went missing, i know they're alive, somewhere out there, i promise, i will find you all.
I walk, and walk and walk and walk...
Its night, already?
I decide to rest a little, i grab some leaves, make a small pillow and lay on a bench, as im about to ooze off, i hear dogs barking.
I check around once just to make sure, but i realize It's just my mind playing tricks on me.
I close my eyes, and try to get some sleep.
A water drop falls on my eyes, really rain, now? Well, i guess i need to fill my waterbottles, what, what am i talking about i threw them somewhere.
I start to get up but i feel, i feel something, someone on top of me.
I dont even have the energy to think, to,
"Get, get off me."
I barely rub my eyes and open them slowly.
Oh its just Chester, i say to myself.
I close my eyes hoping to go back to sleep.
Chester starts jumping around on me.
Get off, you're not real.
"G-get off, you're you're not, NOT REAL!"
I push him off, using what little strength i have left and he starts to cry out.
I open my eyes again.
"Che- Chester is that really you?"
"You're the only family i have left for the moment."
I get up from my sleeping position and sit down.
"And, that rain? It-it was your drool wasn't it."
"Aha, ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"
I spread my arms wide open
"Come, come here, come good boy."
Chester jumps on me and i fall back on the ground.
"Thanks Chester."
I hug him tight.
