The day seemed to tick on a little slowly, and it was hot for a summer day. Rose spend the majority of the time learning cooking from her mother. Learning how to cook fish tonight for dinner, and preparing vegetables on the side. And after that, she learned how to patch clothes, and fix a tear in Tarries shirt.

Soon, it was afternoon, and it was time to tale the clothes back inside. As she unclipped the dresses and placed them back inin the box. As she did, she watched the sun set. Strangely, the sun seemed to be settinga little fast, as if it wants the night tp jist happen.

Suddenly, Rose felt sonething at her side. It was their dog, Nova, she wagged her tail, wanting to play. But then Harrie, Novas owner, called her back in. Rose took the box, and went back inside.

"Come and eat."

Called Dad, once Rose had put the box in her room. Everyone gathered at the table, Dad said the prayer.

"Our dear lord, we are thankful for this day, we thank the sun and the moon. We thank you for bringing us together as a family, and we thank yoou for this meal, Amen."

Everyone began digging into tjeir dinner of cooked fish with carrots and potatoes. Mom spoke.

"Rose cooked the dinner."

Rose couldn't help but give a laugh. Thats when she heard it.

"Under Attack!"

The distant cry was good enough to inturupt the family dinner. Mother gasped, Father stared at the door. Rose dropped her fork, and Harrie and Tarrie almost choked on their food. Nova, who was sitting under the table, was growling.

Dad spoke, "It's most likely a false alarm. I'll go check."

Mom spoke, "Kids, if there's ever-"

She was cut off by the sound of the shout much louder, everyone turned and saw Dad had opened the door. The continued.

"Everyone we're und-!"

The sound was cut off, and Dad shouted.

"Dear God everyone get in the bunk!"

And suddenly, all at once, Everyone else jumped out of their seats, knocking them over. Dad ran out and into the darkness, and Nova sprinted after him. Harrie was yelling.

"Nova! Nova come back!"

Mom shouted, pointing to the master bedroom.

"Get in the bunk now!"

Rose ran as fast as she could, her anxiety and adrenaline pumping her legs. She swung the door open and crawled underneath her parents large bed. There was a trapdoor, Rose pulled it open and jumped right in. She fell down into the dirt hole, leaving the trapdoor open, hoping for her family to follow-

*Floooooooom*

Suddenly, came a large, erupting sound! Almost like an explosion or earthquake, Rose looked up at the trapdoor opening, only to see the bottom of the bed. And the dancing shadows of fire!

In sudden panick, along with the sudden burst of energy powered by blind fear. Rose screamed, and suddenly, with her hands, she began to dig. Despite the room already being large, her parents filled it with emergency supplies of canned foods and contained waters. Rose was scared, where was her family? Whats going on? That was when she heard it.

That was when she heard the screams.

Oh dear God the screams, she could hear thrm, she didn't know where it was coming from, but she could feel the screams. Shaking through the walls, the screams and cries of so many people. Oh God no, her family must be out there! Suddenly, Rose stopped scratchimg at the dirt, she turned and ran to the stairway. She had to get out, she had to get her family! But just as she lifted her head above the entrance, the bed collapsed!

Hitting Rose om the head and sending her falling! She hit on the cold cube dirt ground. Her head was now in mass pain, but she had to get out! She stumbled to her feet, standing in the now pitch black bunk. The screams were louder, shouts, shrieks, and wails. Rose plopped to her knees, her hands to her ears trying to block the terrifying sound. She fell to her side, sobbing, then, the sounds faded.

Then quieted.
