The Beginning and The End
I watched as it roared and leapt going from one home to another destroying, consuming and getting stronger each time. I listened to the screams and cries for help from all the other people as the beast pounced on them while I sat with my family cowering and comforting each other. My younger twin brothers cried out as the beast grew larger and attacked more. My mother held the twins close, softly singing a lullaby; comforting them while my father stood in front watching as the beast destroyed our, once beautiful, land.
I curled into myself, my eyes shut tight as I tried to block out everything, the sights, the smells, the sounds of the horror that lay before me. However, no matter how hard I tried, I could not block out the nightmare of our friends, neighbours and the people of our town dying at the hands of the beast. "Help! Please someone help!" a voice cried, my father looked around, searching as my mother gave a cry of "here we're over here!". The voice cried out again but was accompanied by others "please help, we have wounded". My father looked at my mother, who nodded her head at him. Mother turned and gave me the sleeping twins and ran off with father towards the voices and towards…the beast!
I placed the twins behind me on their blanket, our only possession we had saved, and turned back to watch my mother and father. All of the voices were revealed to be kids ranging from the twins age to three years older than me (2-20yrs old). Father was bringing the last of them up to where I was when mother tripped, when we weren't watching the beast had grabbed mothers dress with its claws. "Alice!" my father cried "peter!" my mother shouted back fearful as the beast turned to her, father raced down to where mother was and pulled her up, ripping her dress in the process, but it was too late and they knew it. Turning back to me as I got the younger children behind=d me, they said something together as they held each other close but I couldn't hear it over the roaring over in my ears as I watched the beast attack and consume my parents. I stared in shock as the beast shook its mighty head, I hear the children crying around me. Turning around I took charge as I got the older kids to help me get the younger ones into the forest behind us. "No time for tears now, you have to take care of the twins and the other little ones, stay strong when everything calms down then you can cry" I thought as I turned to pick up the twins one of the older kids, a girl around my age, came over and picked up the younger twin.
"I'm Elizabeth" she said "I'm Nicole, that's Feliciano you're holding and this is Lovino" I told her. She nodded and turned to follow the other's, I turned to take one last look at my home and stood still as stone as I watched the beast watch me with its amber eyes and all I could think was…'Dragon'.
