"Brother... Where are mama and papa?" A young girl asked as she looked around the wooden corner that attached her and her brother's room. The young girl wore a baby pink frilled dress and pink shoes to match. Her eyes were green with a spot of golden brown in the same place in both eyes. She had pink tinted pale-tan skin, and a few light brown freckles on her pink cheeks, and her long strawberry blonde hair pulled up into a wavy ponytail. The boy looked up from his fish bowl, and blinked. " I dont know." He replied plainly. He looked to be about 9, while his sister looked 5. His short brunette hair covered the tip of his brown eyes. He has the same color of skin only his was freckle free and his cheeks were less pink than hers." You can check the kitchen. That's where I saw mama last, making lunch." He continued. She nodded." Thank you, brother!" She said, and ran to the kitchen.
" Mama! Kiechi said you were in here andA-AHHHHH!"She screamed, covering her eyes as tears streamed down her face. She fell back, crying." MARYLINE!" Kiechi yelled, and ran into the room, his father's dagger in his hand and the pouch strapped onto his white jeans. He also wore his plain collared white shirt tucked in his pants, since they just came back from church. The second he stepped inside, his eyes widened at the pool of blood that trailed from Maryline, his little sister, to his mother's dead carcass. He saw that the wind was blowing in from a hole in the window, that seemed to be caused from a bullet, and that then made him realized his mother was shot. He didn't know why the killer would do so, but it must've been big to the person. Maryline! Go tell father!" Kiechi demanded. Maryline stood up, nodding, and ran to her father's office room.
Mean while, Kiechi walked to his mother's body, filtering the air with the collar of his shirt. He stared at the bullet hole that was inside his mother's forehead. He then saw a shadow moving over him, and he looked to where the source of the shadow came from. Then, a gunshot was heard, and Kiechi fell back, his shoulder shot. He held his new wound, wincing in pain and gritting his teeth.
Maryline ran into the kitchen with her father behind her." What is going on here!" The father yelled. The person who had shot the wife and Kiechi's shoulder was his old high school friend, who used to be his wife's old boyfriend. His black eyes pierced fear into the father, and his shoulder lengthen black hair swayed in the wind that blew in from the hole. He growled, and shot the father in the forehead, killing him the same way he did with the father's wife.
"FATHER!" Maryline screamed, covering her mouth, tears flying down her face." KIECHI WE HAVE TO GO WE HAVE TO GO!" She yelled, and ran to Kiechi, grabbing the sleeve of his shirt and pulling him out of the kitchen, Kiechi slowly running behind her." AH! LET GO, MARYLINE, IT HURTS!" He yelled, and pulled away. Maryline looked at his wound, wide eyed." Kiechi! You're bleeding!" She said, surprised. Another gun shot was heard, and the corner of the wall chipped off from the bullet hitting it."GO!" Kiechi yelled at Maryline." But what about you!" Maryline asked back." JUST GO!" Kiechi yelled, and pushed his sister out the front door. Maryline stumbled and fell onto her hands and knees. The front door slammed behind her, and locked.
" Look, I dont know who you are BUT YOU WILL NOT HURT MY SISTER! He yelled, taking his hand off his wound, and charging at the man with the dagger. The man's eyes widened manically, and shot Kiechi's other shoulder. "AGH!" Kiechi yelled, and paused for a moment, then growled." KyyyYAAA!" He yelled, and stabbed the man's leg, his hand digging in the wound also. He pulled his hand out, and ran for the door while the maniac ex-boyfriend, named Daniel, grasped his leg, yelping in pain. Kiechi quickly unlocked the door, and ran out." LET'S GO!" He yelled, and grabbed Maryline's wrist, running. Maryline got dragged up to her feet and ran behind Kiechi out of town, hoping that the man didn't come after them again.
" Where are we going, brother?" Maryline asked, after wrapping her older brother's wounded shoulders with strips of ripped cloth from the bottom of her dress." I dont know... But hopefully somewhere far away from thereā¦" Kiechi replied, and held Maryline's hand.
