"Mom?"
"Mom, I'm home"
I stepped forward into the house, sliding my schoolbag to the floor.
"Hello?"
Hm, nothing.
Quietly, I crept up the stairs. Maybe she was taking a nap. I wouldn't blame her, she works so hard. Finally, I reached Moms door so I slowly reached for the handle, carefully opening it so I wouldn't disturb her sleep. However what I saw next Would forever disturb mine.
"MOM!" I screamed rushing to the figure on the floor. Blood was oozing out from her chest as she took her last breaths.
I held her hand In mine as she desperately tried to say her last words.
"Run."
And with one last shudder of a breath, she was gone. My mom, gone. But how? Why? I don't understand what's happening. Suddenly a wave of anger rushed over me. That doesn't matter now. What matters is that shes gone... and somebody's going to pay. And with that I ran from the room not even noticing how the curtains had spontaneously set alight.
Within minutes my bag was packed and I was at the door. Clothes, Money, Food and... A dagger. I need to be safe. Finally, I closed the door for the second time and stepped out into the world.
"I'll never stop running Mom, Never"
Well, thats the prologue done and dusted...until I reread it in a few days and decide that its absolutely terrible. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the prologue and I promise to make a start on chapter 1 as soon as I've awoken.
I literally thought up this story less than a few days ago and yet I already have a sequel in mind. Wait until you see the family tree haha!
