She ran as fast as she could. She could see the flames and instantly knew they were in danger. She was crying, people kept grabbing at her, screaming at her to stay away from the house. Saying that it was goo late, that there was nothing she could do. She didn't listen and ran into the house anyway. She ran into the living room and then the kitchen. She screamed at what she saw. Her mother engulfed in flames. She ran into her parents' room, her room, the bathroom, anywhere she could think to find somebody but found no one. She ran into her little brother's room, and screamed again at what was seen there...her father burnt completely through. There was a noise behind her and she turned to see her brother on the floor. She ran over to him as quickly as she could...he was still breathing, but barely. She grabbed him and carried him out of the house. They were two feet from the door when the house completely collapsed. "S...si...sister, please stop crying." She looked down at her brother and nodded her head. She carried him over to the crowd and asked for a doctor. An ambulance was there quickly and took her and her brother away. She was waiting in the hallway of the ER when a doctor walked out of her brother's room. She could tell by the way he looked at her that something was wrong. She jumped up quickly and ran over to him. "Is he okay?" She asked frantically. "I'm so sorry but...we couldn't save him..." She stopped listening after that. Those four words kept repeating over and over in her head.
"We couldn't save him...
"We couldn't save him...
"We couldn't...
Kagome woke with a start. She was crying again. The same nightmare again. It has haunted her since the accident over seven years ago. She remembered it like it was yesterdayBoth her parents burnt to death...Her little brother dying in the hospital. Kagome sighed and wiped away her tears with the back of her hand. She glanced at the clock. It was 6:00 A.M. She sighed again and got ready for school. She walked into the hall, got a towel our of the linen closet, and went into the bathroom to take a shower. She walked back our 15 minutes later and back into her room. She searched through her dresser for something to wear. She pulled out a pair of baggy, black jeans and a T-shirt that said in red letters, "When I can't sleep, I count the buckles on my straight jacket." She put on her clothes and brushed her hair. She put on some socks and a pair of black army boots. She put on some fishnet armwarmers, grabbed her back and left the house. Once she was far enough from the house, she grabbed a cigarette and lighter from her bag. She lit her cigarette and threw the lighter back in her bag. She sighed and continued walking to school. Once she got to school, she flicked away her cig and walked inside the school. 'Today is going to be hell' was all she thought and she walked through the halls.
