Hot tears burned my eyes as I ran through the dark forest. My bare feet thudded against the ice cold snow.I panted heavily and choked for the air that didn't come. I could hear them behind me. They were gaining speed, I looked at the bundle in my arms. This bundle is the only family I had left. This forced me to run faster. I quickly formed a plan in my head, My legs couldn't last any longer. I came upon a tree that caved in just enough to place her frail body in. I bundled the child tightly as I hummed and tried to sooth her with smiles. "Korra, I love you, I'm sorry." I said softly, I covered the child quickly and started running the opposite way of the tree. I don't want them to know that I left my sister behind so I folded my arms in a way it looked like I still had her. "This way!" Came a gruff voice. They were much closer than I thought. I scanned the forest for a tall but climbable tree. fear clenched my chest as i heard dogs. I quickly found a tree and climbed it. maybe if i can climb the tree high enough they wouldn't catch my sent. What a stupid thought. One of the dogs were already barking at tree I was in. Nowhere to run now. I jumped down from the tree and drew my sword and got into position. Before i could even swing at them they surrounded me. Tears threatened my eyes as I trembled in front of them. Their masks hid their faces, so i couldn't see what they were thinking. without another thought i plunged at them. they did this to my family, to my viggage, they took everything from me. I allowed the tears to freely fall down my face as i stabbed one of the masked men. i pushed my weapon deep in his stomach and took it out quickly turning around to kill the next one. Laughter. Why were they laughing at me? I turned around to the man I had stabbed to find him drawing his own weapon. I felt numb as he took out his large sword. He wasn't dead. But why? I tried to urge my feet to move but instead i just stood there, terrified. Time seemed to move slowly as the sword dug into my leg. First I felt nothing, then the pain came, and it came too quickly for me to take. I screamed out more on horror than in pain And fell to the ground. They were laughing once more. They were enjoying this? The man then stabbed my arm. Bright lights went off in my mind as I choked on a yell. Then they all just sat there, chuckling and laughing to themselves. After what seemed to be forever of bleeding, the masked man once more held his sword above me. And just dropped it. Just dropped the sword and allowed it to pierce my stomach. I curled into a ball trying to hold back my pain, trying to make it all go away. Stars danced across my vision as looked up. They were gone. That must mean I am dying. Tears flowed down my pale skin a I thought about dying. No! I wanted to fall in love to have a family of my own and become an artist! I couldn't die now! And then the worst part was, was the fact that Im alone, all alone.I blinked a couple times and tried to look over to the tree I had set my sister. Once I found it I smiled and sang a lullaby that would never reach her.
