" Daddy," I said before running over to him and embracing him.

" Alex we don't have time for hugging, you got to pack your stuff quickly before we go," he whispered softly in my ear

" Why did you kill that guy, and why do we have to pack, and where is mommy?" I asked in confusion

" We don't have time, but I promise you mom is fine," he said brisk fully, "Mommy is waiting outside, so please pack sweetie."

"Ok daddy," I said before I ran to my closet, fishing out my clothes into my backpack. I did this until I heard a sound, more like a shriek. I turned around and saw that daddy had shot another man with his harpoon.

" Come on honey-" but my daddy didn't finish his sentence before the guy that had the harpoon trust into him, shout daddy in the back of his chest.

The man's final words were, " That's for killing my partner." then he died.

I raced over to my daddy. I saw that he was alive, but was losing blood fast.

"Daddy?" that was the only word I could muster up.

"Don't worry honey, I'm about to go to a better place." He answer and spit out crimson blood, "Just tell mommy I love her-" he suddenly gasped for air.

"I will daddy, just don't die on me" I sputtered out, as tears slowly hit my cheeks.

" Sorry honey. I love you" those were his final words before his eyes closed, summoning him into eternal sleep.

"Daddy, daddy? Wake up please!" I pleaded, while a flood of tears continued to fall from my eyes. I continued in my sobbing until my mommy's voice blasted.

" Alex where are you??!!"

"Mommy I'm in my bedroom, and daddy's dead," I screamed

"Hold on I'm coming." she shouted. A few moments later she appeared in the doorway. As soon as she saw daddy's corpse, she dropped down and gazed at his lifeless body. The sight of his body took away my mom's usual calm aura and morphed it into a fragile and panicky one. She leaned over him and cried out, " Oh Harold, why'd you have to die

"Mommy, he said he loved us and was going to a better place." I said trying to comfort her, but it only made her start to sob. So I joined her in her sob instead. We did this for what seemed an eternity, until we heard glass being smashed.

"Alex run to the basement and don't look back." commanded my mom with authority.

" But mommy what about you." I argued

"Don't worry about me , I'll be fine." she promised

"Ok." I said before grabbing both my teddy bear and backpack. I ran towards the basement until I heard my mom's voice.

"Unnngh!"
