Chapter 1. They Come Back Again
Every night i wake up thinking to myself why is this happening the coldness through my legs,the empty feeling,loneliness,and my dreams. I remember the cold shutter night and it was pouring real hard, as soon as i heard the door click i assumed it was my dad coming home from work. As one foot steps in with big black wet army boots now i know its not him. I run upstairs while seeing red flashing and hearing sirens,gunshots, and cannons. Im calling out my mothers name there's chaos everywhere the windows are break and more soldiers in, now im really scared to death.
I hear my name from down the hallway "Alyssa, Alyssa" the way the soft sweet voice goes right through my head i know its her my mother. I run down the dark creaking hallway saying "Mum, mum" in a scared and timid British accent. I see her red silky hair in a tight pony tail to the side with the black and blue barrette that dad had bought for their last anniversary. We hug and than she tells me to stay close i can tell she is frightened as well cause of the fear in her blue glimmering eyes. She opens the rusty door that leads to her bedroom and she locks it behind her saying " I had a feeling this was going to happen." After she was done talking i finally came back to my sense . Oh my god the others! I ask my mom who looks very pale kind of like a vampire "where are the others, are they okay?"
She doesn't answer my question all she says is "Oh you must be terrified but don't worry you'll be safe after this..." She trembled and stuttered when she was talking. She pulls me to the red closet whose paint was peeling off and opens it. At first i thought it was nothing but then when she pushes her crystal white jewelry box with the ballerina on top to the right side of the closet i see a door on the wood floor and she opens it. After examining the dark hollow tunnel she tells me to jump so i do as im told. I look up waiting for my mother to jump in as well but before she does windows with the teared up drapes break and glass splatters all over the floor. Soldiers with uniforms and black gun machines bigger then myself come in and grab her. Some start shooting at me i try moving but one got me in the arm im crying while the blood is streaming down to the gray cement ground.
Before another shot is fired a deep stern voice stops it saying that they'll handle me later. The last thing i hear from my mother is run and follow the shadow. So im bleeding in a tunnel without my mom to help me. I can't see the shadow so i start walking while holding my wound with my hand. After a few couple hours i see two tunnels leading to different places i was confused and didn't know which way to go so i tried cross sausage is out. After i did the little game i got the right tunnel but before i could enter i saw a bright light coming close to me and it whispered to me :follow the left path and keep it left if you want to live." in a ghostly and flat voice. Im expecting it is the shadow so i do as im told.
Im back i go downstairs pour water on my face and wonder where my family is, are they ok, and are they safe. I question myself could they be dead and what did the soldiers mean by handling me could they be waiting for the right time and why was there a war. Every night i think about meeting my family again before i blow the candle out, say my prayers, and go to sleep on the cold rough bed with a pillow as soft as my dark red hair which is not very soft, and with a blanket that rips each night and i have to resew it. Its not right for a 14 year old child to live like this but i've learned to toughen up and deal with it.
