The beginning
It was raining. A young boy probably around 10 was running, he was scared. He spotted a large rock and hid behind it. Three men came running by, they were dressed in black. 'where did that little brat go. We are dead meat if boss finds out.' he said throwing his gun on the ground with frustration. 'He's just a kid, what harm can he do ' said the other one. The boy heard them talk and was shivering at the site of the gun which was on the ground. 'Let's just tell boss, we killed the family and burned down their house ' they agreed after some thought they decided to go back. They took of their mask left.
The little boy watched their backs as they walked away. He was shocked, he didnt know what to do. He was scared but he saw their faces and he felt anger building inside him. He would never forget those faces. He looked around, it stopped raining, he ran towards his house.
His little cottage was almost burned to the ground. He couldn't bare the site. He cried helplessly thinking back on how the three men attacked his house and shot his parents. He managed to escape with his elder sister. Both of them ran towards the forest. Two men followed them when the third man set their house on fire. They shot his sister on the shoulder she fell on the ground screaming in pain. ' Run Alvin, run. Save yourself, don't let them catch you' she said as blood poured out of her wound. Alvin ran, that was all he could do. He heard a loud scream and turned around, he saw the two men, one of them stepping on his sisters shoulder crushing her wound. He held a gun in his hand and shot her point blank at her head. Alvin couldn't process what just happened. He was too scared to think. All he knew was to escape. He had to save himself. He had to run.
15 YEARS LATER.....
Elizabeth was packing her stuff. it was last day of college. Her dad would pick her the next morning she could finally go home. 'hey lizzy we are planing a party tonight. You wanna join' said Alisha as she opened the door. 'l' ll be their ally'. Ally and lizzy has been roomies since the beginning. It was sad to part ways with her.
The night went by, they had fun at the party, the two friends pulled an all nighter spending their last fews hours together, reminiscing their college days. All the trouble they caused, all the fun thay had and before they knew it the sun was up.
Elizabeth POV
I spend my last night with ally, she was like my sister, I spent the last 3 years with her,she knew everything about me, she stood by my side and was truly my best friend. I couldn't belive I wouldn't see her as often as I used to. But I had to move on. Dad would be here soon and I had to finish packing. After 2 hours I took my suitcase down. Ally helped me with my luggage. Her family would come in the afternoon, so she had some time to pack her stuff. I heard dad's car, Alice put out her head from the back window she was waving at me. 'lizzy' she shouted. Although I was sad to leave ally, I was equally thrilled to meet my family and finally be able to spend time with them. 'We'll meet soon lizzy, don't give me that sad look' ally said before giving me a hug, we said our goodbye and she moved upstairs. I hope we'll meet in the future and our friendship stay strong.
I rolled my luggage out the hostel gate and Alice ran upto me, she jumped on my her hands around my neck and legs wrapped around my hip. Alice is my little sister. She's 10. My dad came up and hugged us. He gave me a kiss on my forehead and took my luggage. 'How have you been lizzy, I'm so glad u r comming back. I've set up your room, I think it's beautiful you'll surely like it.' said Alice excited. 'I've been good Alice, thank you for setting up my room baby' I told her. I've missed this little bundle of joy for the past 3 years. 'Hey sweetheart, ready to go home?' asked dad. 'YES' me and Alice said together. Dad laughed and started his car, off we went.
My family consist of my dad, mom, Liam, me and Alice. Dad owns a cloth business and Liam who is 2 yrs elder than me, helps dad in business. My mom is a teacher. Alice is our adopted sister. Dad bought her home one night 10 years back, after her parents died and she was just an infant. Mom said she is the daughter of a very dear friend who passes away. Alice has been part of the family ever since. She is the youngest and the most spoiled one amongst us. Liam is the most matured, he is handsome and brave young man. I always thought Alisha and Liam would make a good pair. Nevertheless we all loved each other dearly.
It was a 2 hour long drive. Dad put on the stereo and out came my favourite songs. Me and Alice was singing along. 'hey dad let's get some sandwich. I'm hungry'. 'We are almost home Alice. I'm sure mom won't appreciate us eating outside when she has prepared lunch for us'. Alice was pouting and I could help but adore her cute little face. 'we'll get sandwich tommorow Alice.' I saw her face lit up. 'Alright lizzy, you are the best sister in the world' she said as she hugged me. Dad smiled at us through the rare view mirror.
Although my hostel was just hours away from my home, I didn't visit often. I would only spend a day or 2 at the max. Since everyone worked or studies, I would spend most of my time alone when I visited home. Now Liam is back and it's summer vaccation so mom, dad, Liam, me and Alice will be home together after a long time. I couldn't wait to get home.
