We ran as fast as we could, away from home, away from the man, the man who was trying to kill us.
I was up in my bedroom when i heard a knock at the door. I tripped over my own feet knowing it was my friend Lily. I slammed the door open, only to see my friend standing there with her big cheesy smile on her face. She knew what I intended to talk about the whole night, and she was okay with it.
She ran in as her mom greeted mine, and she chased me all the way upstairs.
Just as I plopped down on my bed, I heard a loud BANG come from the kitchen. I called to my mom, no answer. I ran down stairs as fast as I could, leaving Lily in the dust. I came in to the kitchen to see a pool of blood, swishing under my moms limp body. I cried out to her. screaming so loud my voice went scratchy, as I turned, through the tears in my eyes, I could see the outline of my friend standing there in shock.
She walked up to me, putting a comforting hand on my shaking back. I held back the tears. Just enough to hear a faint "creeeek" coming from behind us. I whipped around in sync with Lily. A tall muscular man, with brown hair flowing over his dark green eyes, jumped out from behind the wooden door, we stared in shock.
"If you run now, you just may not die tonight, but at some point, I promise you will." He growled.
I was still crouching over my moms dead body, but Lily could think fast, she gripped my hand with incredible force and bolted out the door. I soon got my balance and ran with her. Out the door, through the gate, out of the neighborhood, and away from gun point.
I ran as fast as I could by Lily's side. We stopped when our legs gave in and we crashed down onto the pavement, scraping our knees and palms on the hard ground. We slowly got up by griping onto each others clothing to help us up.
I limped up to a house, hoping to ask for help.
"What are you doing?!" She yelled at my sweaty back.
"I'm asking for help" I managed to pant out.
She walked up to my side, panting with me.
We knocked as hard as we could, quick pounds to the wood. Every once in a while, glancing behind us for the man with the gun.
The door swung open without warning, the boy who stood there had raven black hair, gigantic blue/green eyes that stared at us with confusion. But before he could say anything, a wave of words exploded from us. He waved his hands in front of his face, signaling us to stop talking.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa," He bent down to get to our level. " What happened."
I breathed heavily while Lily answered his question.
"I was a-at her house, we heard a bang downstairs, w-e went down to see what was going on we found her mom dead on the floor, th-then he went after us. You were the first house we saw, please help us." She started to tear up. The boy leaned in and hugged us both.
"Come on in. My names Phil."
