one
mom? dad? where are you? i wondered as i checked all over my house.
i immediately stopped into a halt when I heard a cry of pain. i slowly made my way towards the sound and stopped once i saw a door slightly opened.
i pressed my back against the wall and quietly walked to the door. the closer i got to the door the louder the cries got. when i finally got to the door the cries eventually turned into screams begging for someone or something to stop.
i peeked through the creek of the door. my breath hitched as i looked at the horrid scene. my dad had scratches all over his body blood dripping out from them, a man close to him with a knife pressed against his cheek and my mom? her hands were tied behind a chair screaming for the man to stop.
i accidentally let out a whimper to which my mom snapped to her head to. i stared into her eyes and something in them was practically pleading for me to run and to get out of here as fast as possible.
as soon as the man turned his head in my direction i started to run. i could hear his foot steps behind me pounding harder than my heart. i caught my breath as soon as i stopped by the front door. i turned the door knob and ran outside. as soon as i was outside i didn't hear the foot steps following me anymore.
