Kianna's POV:
I had a tremendous pain on the back of my head. I groaned and my eyes slowly started to open again. When I opened my eyes I was in the spare bedroom at Bobby's house. I sat up ever so slowly and began to make my way out of bed and down the stairs. When I got half way down the stairs I smelt pancakes, bacon, and fresh blueberries. Was Bobby cooking? I walked down the rest of the stairs and smiled to myself. He must have some new girl or something, he never cooks.
"Hey Bobby have you gone mad or something?" I yelled out, instantly regretting it after a scorching pain came through my ribs. I had forgotten all about last night's little episode. When Bobby didn't answer me I figured he must've burnt something, or was hiding somewhere hoping not to finish making breakfast, so I went into the kitchen to see what exactly was going through his mind. When I walked into the kitchen I didn't see Bobby, but I saw a women with golden brown hair slaving over the stove. Ahh it all made sense now, Bobby want cooking at all, how foolish could I have been?
"Oh I'm sorry I hadn't realized that Bobby had company over." I said politely while taking a seat at the table, boy was I hungry.
"Oh Kiekie, your awake good, im sure your starving you hardly touched your food last night." I looked at her right as she said my name. I could recognize that voice from anywhere. I stared at her, waiting for her to turn around or even say anything else. This couldn't be possible there was no way it was her. When she turned towards me I couldn't help but gasp. I felt the air in my lungs start to swell up and I was having trouble breathing.
"Here you go sweetie… Oh you're looking a little pale do you need your puffer honey?" I felt the tears well up in my eyes. No this can't be happening I have to be dreaming. But it was so real; everything around me was so vivid.
"Mom?" I asked while she looked at me worry in her eyes.
"What is it Kiekie? Are you okay? You don't look so good." She said as she put her hand on my shoulder. I couldn't help but gasp I hadn't felt that touch in just over two years. And I just couldn't hold it in anymore. I got up from my chair and hugged her tightly hoping that she would never let go of me again.
"Madeleine darling could you put another pot of coffee on? I just ran out and I'm running late for work- Oh Kiekie you're up, how was your sleep honey?" I never wanted to let go of my mother but now my dad was here too? I whirled around so I could look at him; memorize his features for it had been too long.
"Daddy?" I ran over to him and gave him an embracing huge. He rubbed the back of my head like he always used too.
"What's wrong sweetie? Is it that boy again? I swear to god." I had to laugh at this typical father, always worrying.
"No, no I'm fine dad I'm just a little emotional I guess." I said while letting my arms drop from the only thing that has kept me going. He smiled at me and kissed me on the top of the head, and then went over and kissed my mother on the lips.
"I'll see you lovely ladies tonight, have a good day girls." He said while walking out the door.
"Oh, shoot he forgot his coffee again; I swear that man would lose his head if it wasn't for me." I smiled at my mother I hadn't heard her voice in so long, and had prayed every night just for one last chance to see my family again. I looked around the house at all of the family photos of us together. If my mom and dad were back then that has to mean that Liam was here too.
"Hey, mom where's Li?" I asked.
"He's out in the backyard playing in that little sand box of his." She said without looking up from her dishes. I took a deep breath and then went outside, only to see my baby brother Liam trying to make a sand castle in his sand box. I could hardly hold back the tears that were forming. He was so precious and innocent. He didn't deserve what happened to him, none of them did. I walked over to the sandbox and sat next to him.
"Kiekie!" he screamed in excitement, and got up to hug me. I held him in my arms a little longer then was necessary but he didn't mind, he never did. When I finally let go he went back to making his sandcastle. I looked around and knew this had to be some sort of trick or dream like state my family was dead. But at this moment I didn't care about any consequences, maybe I was getting my one day with them again, like I had asked for a million times.
"Do you need some help Li?" he nodded his head and handed me a shovel. As we worked on the castle I had a bad feeling about all of this, but shoved it aside until later. It seemed like me and Li spent hours on that castle for it was already getting dark.
"Suppertime you too!" I heard my mom yell from the back door.
"I'll race you Kiekie!" Li screamed already running ahead of me. I ran slowly behind him, and when he reached the door he laughed and jumped up and down excitedly.
"Okay you've been practicing, you win this time buddy." I said while pretending to pant. When we both walked into the house my mom and dad were already sitting at the dinner table. I sat down in my regular spot and began to eat.
"Wait, wait don't be so eager, let's pray first honey my mom said." I smiled and let her pray, in the middle of her speech it was interrupted by a knocking at the door.
"Who in god's name could this be?" my father said while getting up to check the door. All of a sudden I felt this cold chill run up my back, and instantly knew something was wrong. I looked at the calendar on the wall and the date read December 20th. No, no this can't be happening again, hadn't I already suffered enough? I started to panic and stood up from my seat. My mother who looked puzzled was about to say something when my father came back in with a knife held to his throat. I recognized the man right away, and I wanted to wake up right now, I couldn't live through seeing this again. Tears started streaming down my face and my mother stood up pushing me and my brother behind her.
"Alright, now here's what's going to happen all of you go sit on that couch.. NOW" the demon yelled. My mother holding both of our hands brought us over to the couch and sat us down. I looked at my mother who had tears in her eyes, and who looked terrified. Why is this happening? I wanna wake up! The demon tied all of us up except for my mother. I knew what was coming next and I couldn't help but scream out in frustration. I was lashing at the ropes but they were too tight.
"Please, please don't do anything, they never hurt anyone." I screamed while sobbing. But the demon just smiled at me and then slit my mother's throat right in front of me. I heard my Li screaming and I couldn't take this anymore, I needed out now. I was screaming and sobbing but it seemed like no one would help, there was no on too help. The Demon dropped my mother on the floor, and grabbed my little three year old brother. Oh please god noo.
"Kiekie, noo please don't let me go!" he kept screaming over and over again. I screamed everything at the demon but he wouldn't listen to me.
"Please stop! He's just a child Please! Take me instead!" I said while uncontrollably sobbing. He grabbed my brother and then slit his throat too and let go of him right away.
"NO, No, no" Why can't I wake up? I need to get out of this nightmare. Just then my dad turned towards me tears in his eyes, the demon grabbed him but he wouldn't take his eyes off of me. And then my dad said to me, while crying:
"Kiekie, don't forget I will be your guardian, when all is crumbling, and I will always steady your hand. I love you baby girl and I'm so sorry." He said and then the demon cut his throat too.
"No! I wanna wake up! It hurts too much I wanna wake up! I don't wanna be here pleased!" I screamed.
