Chapter 1
One month ago…
'Avilla!!"
I ran to the back of our house and opened it, stepping out I looked around and I saw a very fast figure coming from the woods behind our house.
It was my father's friend, the policeman
'Avilla!!!" he ran fast towards me, he was breathing hard.
I squinted behind him to see what he was running from but the area was empty.
I could see his face very clearly now, it was red with sweat and the sweat made him look like he just crawled out of the river.
'What's going on?" I asked him
'You need to come with me, it's your parents…" he started to say
I didn't wait for him to finish when I took off in the direction he had just come from.
'Wait!!!" he chased after me,
I didn't wait, if something has happened to my parents then I needed to make sure they were okay.
I waited when I got to a vast area and I didn't know the way to go,
'This way" he directed
He led me to a clearing and allowed me to see for myself.
'Mom? Dad?" I covered my mouth, MOM! DAD!
I looked down at their bodies, they were lifeless and pale, and the tears began.
'What happened?" I whispered
'I don't know, I was patrolling the area when I found them," he said
'We have to call an ambulance," I said standing up from the ground.
'Avilla, we can't," he said
'What do you mean? We have to help them, please!" I try grabbing him
He just looked at me, 'it's too late, and they are already dead"
I place my head on my mother's chest and cry.
'I am so sorry," he says through unshed tears.
I sit on the ground and hold their hands till there were no tears left to cry.
A week later, I sat on my bed wiping my wet tears, I couldn't shake the fact that my parents were gone.
I stood up and walked over to my window, I looked at the place they were buried. Tears fell freely from my eyes till I couldn't take it anymore, I went back to my bed to lay down.
I remember my dad saying
'You are different, you are so much special"
I always asked why and they wouldn't tell me anything else.
I stayed for a while before I got a call from my aunt…
