Chapter three, the end of everything
It was Thanksgiving Day, and it wasn't happy, my mother was dead… my father was dead, and we had no food, none at all. I sighed as I searched the empty cupboard. I decided we had to get food to me and Thalia went to the market, Samantha had to run across the street, the boys would only be alone for a few minutes. After it had been twenty minutes at the market, a large fire truck drove by, I had that feeling. I grabbed Thalia's arm.
"It's headed to our house!!!" I dropped the basket I was carrying and ran as fast as my legs could carry me, and I tripped a time or two, scraped my knee…
I reached my house and watched it burn to ashes In horror, especially when it had been put out, I had to look away when I saw four small burnt bodies laying on the ground…
I felt sick, my mother was dead; my father was dead now my brothers, I was alone! All alone, I have nobody! I can't live through this…
I ran, I didn't know where I was going, I never wanted to see this place again. I finally fell stumbling a few feet downhill, I was cut, scraped and scratched, the cuts were dirty, and painful.
I can't take life! I screamed as loud as my voice would let me, and then I lost my voice and sat, cold, hurt and crying. I can't take it, I can't take, life! I have to die, I won't take this suffering! I crawled toward the woods and found a sharp rock, this would do… I was going to kill myself. I held it high and plunged it into my chest, no sound came from me because I had lost my voice, but I could feel it, I knew I was dead…
Death, was easy, quiet, calm. It was silent... But, I could hear faint voices… Who did they come from?…
I opened my eyes, noticing nothing except for the fact that I wasn't' dead, but how!? I had stabbed myself, I felt death! How was I alive? … Now I started slowly realizing my surroundings, once my vision wasn't so blurred, I listened I wanted to hear the conversation… "Poor girl, she commit suicide, she must have a tough life…" "I'm glad we found her, perfect timing too, I almost couldn't save her…" I had to wake up fully, to see where I was, and who these guys were.
