Explosions.
That's all I hear. I'm being jostled and bumped about in Max's arms.
We finally get into a black tank and begin moving.
I'm set on Max's lap.
"You can open your eyes now," He says.
I open them and blink at the light.
"I want mommy and daddy," I sob. Tori takes her glove covered hands and wipes my cheeks.
"Do you know what dead means?" She asks.
I shake my headno.
"Well dead means that... the person isn't coming back," Silence," That's what happened... to your parents,"
I freeze, my breathe quickening. No.
Tori
I hate telling the child that. I've only met her for an hour or so but she's already stolenmy heart. I know that Andrew Prior's daughter is four, but she only looks about two.
It breaks me, when I see the child burst into tears over her dead parents. I saw Max freeze when he saw this couple get shot by the attackers. I assume they were Natalie and Andrew.
The two were running to a little boy, who had a mixture of features from both of them, with a gun shot to the stomach and leg. Their son, Beatrice's brother.
I take the little blonde from Max and cuddle her to me. She whimpers quietly, before her breath slows down and they become even.
We wait it out till we get to the coumpound, praying a bomb won't send the vehicle over.
All of my chapters are short, because I have the attention span of a 2 year old, very sad and not a joke. :/
