I thought I was lost. I had nothing to live for, nothing to look forward to... until he found me.
Chapter 1
Memories
I awoke suddenly to find my room filled with smoke. I started coughing, the smoke entering my lungs and making it hard to breathe. Rolling off my bed I hit the ground hard. I grabbed a jacket and pulled it on over my pyjamas. A low growl emitted from the window. My curtains were drawn, blowing eerily in the still night. Eying the door, I started towards my window. I tore open my curtains, revealing a blood splattered window. A scream escaped my mouth as I saw the torn remains of my dog below my window. I backed away from the window turning to run out the door. Walls of flames blocked the only other exit out, setting the posters on my walls alight. I ran for the window, jumping onto the blood drenched sill. My jacket caught onto the jagged edge of the window. I pulled at it, begging for it to either tear or rip loose but it wouldn't get loose. I quickly removed the jacket and jumped out, barely missing the carcass of my dog. I clamped my mouth closed to stop me from vomiting. I kicked up dirt as I sprinted to the end of my backyard, away from my burning house. Turning back, my heart ached. My families screams brought tears to my eyes as I watched them trying to smash the windows on the second storey of the house. I started screaming for help, awakening the neighbourhood. People came running from all directions, some shocked and others terrified. I remained hidden in the darkness of the tree as they gathered around my home. Deafening creaking caused a sudden hush to flow through the crowd. I watched in terror as the roof swayed before crashing in, flattening the house within seconds. I sunk to the ground, the images of my parents and siblings calling for help racing through my mind. I didn't even notice when I was picked up and carried away.
