Yo! this is my first time at an AC fanfic so please tell me if there is anything i can do to make this better :3 No flames though my heart cant take it.
My mother grabbed me by the wrist harshly and looked out of the window at the fiery hell that was now our village. The sounds of gunfire still ring in my ears every time I remember the day I lost everything.
Mother quickly wrapped me in her green shawl to protect me just that little bit more before being dragged out of our burning home at a sprint. We ran for the dark. The dark was safe from the white men. I saw others either side of me reaching desperately for freedom before their bodies twisted into shattered forms and fell in the snow. I looked to my mother and she looked to me. Her eyes were as wide and as scared as a deer that was staring at a wolf. Something whizzed at us and I saw my mother fling forward at the impact and fall down the snowy slope into the woods. Her hand was so tight around mine that I fell with her face first. As soon as I had recovered I stared up at the blood smeared snow. A bundle was covered in snow next to me.
"Aluli?" I cried scrambling up out of the fresh powdery snow. I saw her lying down on her side. "Aluli!" I staggered to her side and rolled her onto the front. Her face was screwed up in pain and she hissed as she ripped her eyes open to stare into her daughters eyes. Those big black frightened voids.
"Angeni… run and don't look back. Promise me to stay safe." she gripped my tiny hand tightly that it hurt.
"What about you Aluli? I cant leave you, we need to go!" my voice cracked as I desperately tried to drag my mother up. The blood just stained the snow, the pure snow.
"I will always be with you Angeni…" blood started to drip from her lips and she spluttered "Run my little Spirit…. I love you….Angeni Alsoomse." in her final effort she sat up and kissed me on the cheek.
"Aluli! Don't, please!" I sobbed as big fat salty tears dripped down my face. Her hand smoothed my cheek then went limp.
The whole world seemed to stop. I didn't think, I just got up and took the stuff Mother prepared for us and then I took her bracelet one blue bead hung with two white beads either side of it. I put it with my fathers bracelet which matched hers except with black beads instead of white. Then I ran for my life. Away from hell. Away from the devils. That was my reason to fight. And I would not rest till they begged for mercy.
My name is Angeni Alsoomse and I was only 4 when tragedy made itself known in my life.
Aluli= Mother
Also my OC's name means Independent spirit in Native Indian. Hope you like it and please review!
