I come home from school. Laura is behind me.
"Derek!" she screams in pure terror.
I turn to her wondering what on earth she's shrieking about. She is standing there mouth wide open and pointing to the right where our home stood. I don't look at it.
"What?" I snap.
"Ou-our home," she whispers.
I look at our home or rather where it once stood. There is nothing more than a burnt structure. Nothing else.
Where's our family?
Where's our parents?
I stand there stunned. Beside me, Laura is crying. At least she can cry. I can't. I want to break down, but I can't. I wish I could.
I look at the house. It hits me hard in the gut. There's no possible way that anyone survived that.
No way at all.
Who did this? No, I don't believe that this is an accident. Someone knows who we are. Someone is after us. Who?
I have a theory.
The Hunters.
They want us dead.
Lara stops crying and looks up at me. "Hunters?"
I nod. "I think so."
"Are they still here?"
I breath in the air around us. "I don't think so."
Lara nods and looks back at the house. "Why? Why would anyone want to do this?"
I look at my feet. "Because they're evil."
She swallows. "Do you think anyone got out alive?" I can tell that she's afraid to ask.
I take a deep breath. "To be honest, I don't know. However, I don't think that the odds are in our favour."
Laura nods. "Where do we go now?"
I look around. "We live in the forest until something better comes along."
"And when will that be?"
"Hard to say."
It didn't matter to anyone what had happened to us. I knew that it didn't It was all a game to them, a game of death.
Well, I could play too.
