Chapter 3

We're playing with our younger brother in the playroom when the rebel alarm starts to ring. My parents have only every told us stories about all these things, but never have we experienced it.

Me and Ahren jump and run to Kaden who was once playing with blocks and now is crying hysterically. He is only four after all and we only just turned nine. How are we supposed to find the safe room again. What did mom and dad tell us.

"Think Eadlyn, think." Before I can the door bursts open and mom and dad stand there panting and looking around the room desperately before they find us. Mom runs to us with tears in her eyes as she brings us into her and we hug her the best that we can with her big stomach in the way. She takes Kaden who hasn't stopped crying and yelling for mommy even though he is being held by her right now. I take dad's hand and see that Ahren takes mom's. We all run to a metal door that opens when dad presses some buttons. We run inside and make it to a large room surrounded by guards.

"Daddy?" I say trembling.

"Don't worry, love. This is the safe room. We'll be safe and protected here."

I nod and my dad picks me up as he sits. I cuddle closer to my daddy and try to lower my frantic heart beat. I see Kaden asleep in mom's arms as they lay in one of the beds. My twin is talking with mom in a hushed voice so that he doesn't bother Kaden.

Suddenly the doors open again and Kyle walks in with his parents. I wave at him and he waves back as he is sat down on another bed by Marlee. His dad walks towards us and he and dad start talking. They're voices fade as I close my eyes and try to get away from this scary moment.

When I open them I'm back in my room. Scared I run out of the room and all the way to mom and dad's room. I slide passed the doors and jump on their bed to see all of my family sleeping peacefully. It makes me sad that I was sleeping all alone before, but I'm here now.

I go to dad's side and tap his shoulder. His eyes flutter open and he blinks for a couple of seconds. He opens the covers and I slide in next to him. I close my eyes and sigh contently. I feel safe and happy with my family and that will never change.

Something short and sweet. Hope you guys enjoyed and don't forget to review. Thank you, until next time- writinglover321.
