It was early in the morning or late in the night, though I couldn't tell and didn't pay much mind to the fact. The thing that woke me up was the sound of my father yelling and things crashing. Being a little girl I was confused and frightened, but my curiosity got the best of me and I crawled out of bed and quickly ran to the door opening it just a little, as not to be seen. My father held his back against the door and was yelling for my mother to hide. Looking out the window next to the door I saw men with torches banging at the door.
I was so frightened I didn't want to be alone, so I opened the door and clutched the frame waiting for my father to acknowledge me.
"Daddy?" I said quietly not expecting him to hear me, but he did and looked at me as though he had forgotten about me and was afraid and surprised to see me.
"Sakura!, sakura honey go to the bathroom and close the door. Don't come out until I call for you." he said trying to sound as calm as he could. There was another loud bang at the door "You'd better give her to us or we'll force ourselves in!" a voice yelled from the other side of the door.
My father grunted as he pushed against the door. "Sakura go now!" he yelled sounding more scared than angry.
I jumped at his outburst and ran across the room to the bathroom shutting the door and curling up in a ball. I sat against the wall and listened. I heard screams from mom and dad and a sound which met the men had finally broken in.
Sitting up I removed a tiny piece of wood from the wall and looked through it. There were a lot of men In the house now. Some were holding back dad and the rest were pulling mom out the door.
'Mommy!' I thought racing out the door and to my mother. Clutching her dress tightly I didn't let go when they try to pull me off of her.
"common' you little brat get off!" one said as he tried to pry me off of her.
"Mommy!" I screamed over and over. I looked up at her to see that she wasn't struggling anymore and looked down at me with sad eyes instead.
"It's ok baby" she said "let mommy go"
Taking advantage of my distraction they pulled me off of her and dragged her out the door. I was about to run after her when dad held me back. "Sakura stop it!" he cried. I kicked and screamed knowing I couldn't get away. I ignored the tears streaming down my face as I watched her being pulled away.
"MOMMY!"
My last memory of her was her smiling at me even though she was about to die. I was so confused and stared at her helpless until she was consumed in fire.
That same night my dad took us away to live in the forest where no one would dare to look. It was said to be evil and that whoever walked in was never seen or heard from again.
