Chapter 10-Nightmares
A 9 year old Kevin was sitting on the couch watching television. A little girl, named Susie, Kevin's little sister, went up to him.
"Big brother, can we watch the TV together." Susie said politely smiling.
"Sure sis." Kevin said.
"Thank you." Susie said.
"Can we watch cartoons?"
"OK."
Kevin turned on the cartoon channel. Susie began laughing at the cartoon when the character slipped on a banana.
"Cartoons are so funny, right big brother?"
"Yeah, cartoons are pretty funny."
Kevin's parents walked in..
"Good morning kids. What are both of you watching." Kevin's mother said.
"We are watching funny cartoons mommy." Susie said.
Suddenly they heard a knock at the door.
"I'll get it." Kevin's father said.
He opened the door, standing there were two men.
"Hello sir, we are from Ryan Industries, we are here to ask if you can take a quick survey?" One of the men said.
"Why yes I suppose I can." Kevin's father said.
"Do you have a daughter?"
"Yes I do."
"How old is she?"
"She is eight years…wait why should I be telling you this, I don't think anything about my family is any of your business."
"We'll I guess we have to do this the hard way and take her by force!" The other man said.
One of the men pushed aside Kevin's father and saw Susie on the couch.
"Come over here!" One of the men said as he walked up to Susie. Then suddenly Kevin's father ran up to the man and punched him. The man then shocked Kevin's father and threw him against the wall.
"What the hell are you doing!" Kevin's mother yelled before she was also shocked.
Kevin then quickly took Susie's hand and ran. Kevin hid in the closet with Susie.
"Shhhh, be quiet and don't let them hear you," Kevin said whispering to Susie.
Susie just sat there with tears running down her face and trying not to breathe heavily. But then the door opened and one of the men grabbed Susie. Susie was kicking, scratching, and screaming. Kevin was wildly hitting the man but to no affect. The other man pushed Kevin back. Kevin had tears running down his face, he was scared, trying to protect his younger sister. The men just laughed at the site of Kevin.
"Don't worry, she will be the salvation of Rapture." One of the men said.
Then the man punched Kevin in the stomach. Kevin just laid there crying, trying to make the pain go away, trying to save his sister. Then after he lost sight of the men he heard gunshots. After Kevin lost the pain in his stomach, he ran into the living room, and he saw both of his parents dead. Kevin fell to his knees and began to cry.
"No, no this can't be happening, this can't be real, no it's just a bad dream, it has to be a bad dream!" Kevin said.
Suddenly Kevin saw a bug crawling on the floor and the bug bit him.
"Go away you stupid bug!" Kevin yelled as he smacked the bug away. Kevin then returned to his regular age. He heard Susie's voice.
"Why couldn't you save me?" Her voice said.
"I tried, I really tried, I am so sorry please come back to me Susie, I miss you, I'm sorry." Kevin said still crying.
"You couldn't protect me, you didn't save me, they took me away."
"Please Susie forgive me I tried my best, please I beg you forgive me. I will find you, I swear I will find you one day."
"Wake up, hey dude, wake up." Jack said as he shook Kevin.
Kevin woke up sweating.
"Are you OK?" Delta asked.
"I'm fine I just had a bad dream." Kevin said.
"Well lets all get back to sleep." Jack said.
Jack and Delta went back to sleep. Kevin stayed awake staring at the ceiling thinking about the day they took Susie and his parents away from him.
