I smiled at my good luck as I dashed towards it and took the shotgun from where it hung on the wall.
Aunt Laura must have encountered such events before; if she hung it in her room,I think she was going to get it before they killed her. I think these men knew her well.
They had guns but they still used a knife to kill her, what did she really do to them or were they just here for fun?
I had an experience with a shotgun from watching videos online, I know it wasn't much of an experience but if you knew me it was enough.
I admired the beauty as I took it,this was the first time I had held this I checked amd saw it was loaded, I still heard the gunshots from the hallways,I searched through her drawer and saw a torch,a broken mirror and head band,I put one torch and hair band into my backpack.
I waited till I heard another gunfire and I dropped the mirror on the floor and it broke into pieces.I walked to Aunt Laura's window and opened it and flashed the torchlight down and saw hays on the ground,it made me think this was an escape plan,was she running from someone?
I had a good idea.
I took the shotgun , walked to the door and slightly opened it and peeped into the hallway.
I saw them as their torches were still on.
The man was still holding Mum's hair as the other was still leaning by the staircase.
Another gunshots fired and I took that opportunity and dashed into the hallway and fired at the man who was holding mum.
"AH!". he shouted as he retreated back into my room and mom ran into the room as well as his colleague shot at me, being a novice his friend was quicker so i ran back into Aunt Laura's room.
He was still shooting as he walked down the hallway towards aunt Laura's room.I peeped out a bit and he shot the door and the particles of the wood hit my face. I had to close my eyes so it wouldn't get into it.
I knew I couldn't win this fight I was still a novice I took the broken mirror pieces and placed it on the window frame and as i carefully jumped out the window with the shotgun still in hand and I landed on the hay,I got up immediately as I heard more gunshots,I ran the opposite as I heard an ear piercing scream ,am sure it caught him.
" I will kill you!I will kill you!". The man shouted thunderously from the window and I chuckled inwardly.
How can he be so foolish that he didn't check the window before looking down.
After I ran a great distance into the bushes I brought out my phone in search of a signal.
I know that what I did would anger them more so I needed to call the police,but still my family.
The torchlight was turned on so I stumbled on something and fell, breaking my phone screen in the process.
Really of all things that would happen it would be this?
I still got no signal and there was only one option left. I needed to get back into the house to the living room or drive the car away.
I can't leave my family here,but if I dumped them here I would be free from anyone's controlling hands when I turned 18.
No I can't think like that after all the progress i have made so far and the bond we share now I can't break it.
I decided to go back to the house, so I cautiously ran back to the house and leaned in the walls outside and peeped into the room living window and I saw two men kicking dad in different places as mum was sitting on the floor her hands tied behind her back as sobbed and begged them to stop hitting dad.The torch light was on the table giving to the room.I sighed in relief as I was sure Rebecca wasn't there thank goodness she didn't come out."Please stop, please stop". Mom cried as the men continued their assault on dad.I was looking around the room to see if I could see an opening and run back into the house,this would be difficult since
I stayed in the bushes just waiting for them to come out of the house.I knew they would sooner or later because they were morons and didn't know the first thing about a hunting game.They came to hunt us but the hunters became the hunted.Minutes later they ran out of the house in search of me and I was tempted to shoot them but I held it in.Even if I was so happy with the freedom I was given I still couldn't kill them all so that the police won't investigate me and dog their nose into where they shouldn't.I needed to try and get into the hotel first and
I ran as fast as I could but I wasn't faster than who was chasing after me as he drew my backpack from behind and I fell back and my butt landed on the floor. The gun was still firmly in my home but my phone fell on the impact. I turned to shoot him but he was strong. There's no doubt as he kicked my back and my face fell flat on the floor but I was still holding the gun as if my life depended on it. I wasn't the type to act reckless. I calculated everything I did.He crouched down and held onto my hair dragging me up. The biggest mistake he made as I tried to hit him with the tip of the gun but he held onto his hand and dragged it out of my hands while holding me down with his other hand. I knew he was strong but not this strong.I was overpowered but I wasn't feeling scared one bit. The only thing I felt was exci
FLASHBACK Rebecca and I were playing with our dolls when I snatched Rebecca's fool from her hands and when she tried to take it back I held unto it more tightly and refused to let go as she cried and called mum,I was 5 then and she was 6 years but I was always the strong one that would never cry. "Mommy! mommy!". Rebecca called tearily but I refused to let go of the doll.I like seeing her upset and crying. Mum came running into our room when Rebecca cried more loudly,mom glanced over to my doll beside me and then at me dragging Rebecca's doll with her and walked up to us and knelt in front of us and took the doll from us and gave it back to Rebecca,she took my doll from beside me and gave it to me but I tossed it angrily on the floor. &n
I waited for a long time before I concluded that Paul wasn't going to show up even after Felix screamed,I guess he has no compunction for his colleagues.He is indeed a heartless man.I think Paul only cares about his brother who I killed so I guess he isn't bothered.My body was still hurting and my stomach felt as if it's insides were twisted. It was an uncomfortable feeling and I didn't like it one bit.I limped closer to the house since my body refused to function properly since Felix gave me the beating of my life so when I was limping back to the house I followed where he lay and spat on him and continued limping to the house,he beat me up pretty badly and I didn't like it my
I was so nervous as I stared at the office that mom and dad had brought me to,my 7 year old self didn't like it one bit,I was not comfortable with the woman who crossed her leg sitting with her legs crossed."What is your name?". The woman asked me in particular and I had to state up to my mom and she smiled at me."Jessica". I replied to the lady who smiled in return."That's nice to hear Jessica,my name is Miss Sarah and we would be seeing each other often so I look forward to our meeting,now let's begin…..how did you feel when you stabbed your mother?". She asked and I narrowed my eyebrows.I didn't say anything because I saw no need to know who this stranger was that mom and dad brought me to."Jessica dear, please answer". Mum said."I didn't feel anything". I replied and that was the truth I felt nothing.It felt as if it was t
It was dark in the visitors room but I didn't hear any footsteps anymore and then I opened the door and tried knocking on my door again this time the door opened and I went in."Thank goodness you are alright". Mom cried out as she hugged me.I won't say I was alright because all parts of my body hurt but I could still move so it's alright I guess.She and Rebecca pushed the wardrobe on the door,guess they grew smart enough to know that they should just leave the door open.I turned on the torch and mom gasped when she saw my bloody body."Were you shot?"Are you alright?". Mom asked worriedly as she checked my body for injuries.Typicalom ,even though I didn't complain about feeling pain,she would always check my body for bruises any time I returned back home from school. It was not as if I was being bullied
After explaining the plan to them mum and Rebecca pushed the wardrobe out from the door and Rebecca."I don't want to do it". Rebecca said,her whole body was trembling because of what I asked her to do."Just go out Rebecca nothing is going to happen we are right behind you". I whispered.She just wants to ruin the plan that I thought of, this is the only way to do this and it is boring .Since mum didn't want me killing anyone she continued staring at me strangely.I don't blame her though,I was carrying two shotguns and my pyjamas were soaked in blood so I think she had a clue of what happened but didn't want to say anything about it.After much hesitation Rebecca finally opened the door and walked out slowly,her body was trembling. She left the door open and the torch was turned off waiting for the right time as she slowly mad
It felt as if I moved an inch that mom would smack my head because I could see how angry she looked, so I stayed put, not breaking eye contact as I spoke."Am not with any gun". I said and her eyes narrowed."Jessica don't joke around with me". Mom warned. "I told you I am not with any gun mom". I stated plainly."Mom, what's wrong?". I heard Rebecca ask as she stood at the stairs. "Nothing... Rebecca". Mom said to Rebecca. "Go and freshen up". Mom said to me as I walked up the stairs like nothing happened. Was she giving up that easily? I thought mom would drag this further but she didn't. I expected her to at least search me….well it doesn't matter if she believed me or not but I needed the gun for my defense. It's not like I loved lying but it was necessary that I defend myself. The l
I walked into the alley and took out the gun from my backpack,the alley was a bit dark but I saw the two unarmed men that was in the car following me walk into the alley with me and I shook my head at their stupidity, they really no nothing about this place because if they did they won't have come here to meet me. I tilted my head to the side as I raised the gun and shot the first man on his shoulder. "Don't move...hands up". I told the other guy with him who raised his hands. "You too". I pointed the gun at the other guy who I shot and he was reluctant to raise his hand. Am sure someone must have heard the gunshot by now,I just hoped that the police were on the way. Even if I wanted to shoot them I still didn't want the police to pry deeper into my life they might find something I don't want anyone to find.
When you are given bad news you always need time to process what has just been said and that was what I did.I just stayed still trying to process what my mother had just said,how could this be?"Jessica, Jessica can you hear me?". Mom asked, snapping me out of my thoughts as I nodded.I wasn't prepared for the unexpected news she just gave,even though I didn't like him that much he still supported me at times during hard trials.This was a really big blow to my family. How will I survive this?I saw him in goo
My mom continued crying and I just watched her cry. My mind was still in a daze,somehow I survived last night and I won't say I wasn't thrilled but I know I wasn't happy about it.Rebecca finally made her appearance from nowhere and with my mother hugging her tightly as she sobbed as well,I was probably the only weird one in the family because I wasn't crying.Heck I didn't even know what was making my mother shed tears, Rebecca maybe was crying because she was scared but I knew my mom's case was different,I haven't seen her crying this openly before.I was exhausted mentally so I left both of them and went and
The shooting continued and then someone started kicking out mom's door and we all had to hold onto the wardrobe so they wouldn't push it away."They are in here!". I heard a man yell as he continued kicking the door and we pushed the door with all our strength."Rebecca come over here and help us". Mom half yelled at Rebecca who was still sitting on the floor cowering in pain.Rebecca seemed to be in a different word as she ignored mom's words and held onto her knees shaking in fear."Rebecca!". Mom yelled at her but she still ignored her,I don't think Rebecca Dan even heard her let alone what was actually happening around her. It seemed as if Rebecca was in a trance and couldn't be woken up.
I checked the time it was 2: 43 am in the morning. The men actually came and they were early at that,I didn't hear the bell but I definitely heard the scream. He screamed like a schoolgirl that got her hear broken ,how ridiculous. I took my baseball bat as I peeked out my door and I saw and I saw flashlights on, I called the police and they were already aware of the situation,good this was why I liked the police in our modern city,they were always fast. Did mom call them? I Called mom and she answered in the first ring."Am awake". That was the first thing she said. Who would even not wake up after such a scream? "I just wanted to be sure". I replied. "Be careful and don't leave your room,I called the police already". Mom said,looks like great min
Rebecca was in mom's room so I went into mom's room and told them not to come out after I left. "Is everything alright?". Mom asked me suspiciously. This woman only suspects everything I do."Everything is fine I just wanted to set up a few things". I replied."What few things?".I asked and I sighed."Mom just go to bed and don't come out of your room". I half yelled as I walked out of her room and slammed the door shut. Why must she ask this much questions? Just because she's my mother doesn't mean she had to know about everything I do. "Jessica! Jessica!". I heard mom call as she walked out of her room and met me in the hallway."What are you planning?". Mom asked."Nothing bad I just want to put up some stuff for our protection
As we walked down the hallway my heart couldn't help but feel heavy just a bit,I don't know why I was feeling this Way. Did my Father not want to see me and mom was forced to bring us here because of what happened last night. That was the only thought that crossed my mind as we walked."Is everything alright honey?". Mom asked as she saw the distant look on my face."Yes mom everything is fine". I replied. We walked closer to Dad's room, Rebecca holding onto mom's hand as if she was a kid. I was not surprised at her behavior but she was acting too scared. Was she actually my sister? She gets scared too easily. When we got to dad's room he was still sleeping with different plugs in his hand,a bandage over his face,I felt sorry for him he was in a really
I couldn't sleep all throughout the night,as Rebecca was snoring beside me.I couldn't help but get up from bed and think about what my plan would be next.I would be a fool to think that they would leave us even if the police were protecting us.I needed to devise a plan soon.If I wasn't at home then I could get the plan as I wanted to.My whole body shook with excitement and I couldn't sleep. Rebecca's boyfriend was kind enough to leave his room for us and his family was understanding even though they didn't know what was happening.I think this was not the first time Rebecca had slept here,I know times she would s
