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 stared out the open window of the car as the cool breeze touched my face as the car moved.I would rather be somewhere else but my parents insisted that we must visit Aunt Laura's this holiday since she lived alone in a remote area,I can't believe I would just be seeing cows and chickens on what was supposed to be a nice vacation."Jessica,Jessica!" Mom yelled from her seat in front of the car beside dad.I glanced over to her."You don't have to look so gloomy because we are going to Aunt Laura's,you can't stay alone at home dear". Mom said.If only she knew I would rather stay alone,I
I switched on my phone and the light was the only thing that brightened the dark closet.Rebecca was trembling with fear. What has her all shaken up?"Do you know what?". I asked but got no reply as I shook her and she flinched and snapped out of her thoughts." Do you know what happened ?". I asked again as she shook her head."I..I was j..just in the living room when the lights turned off and I heard our window glass smashing…". Her voice trembled aa she spoke and she paused for a second and took a deep breath." Aunt Laura told us to run and we did,mum and I ran into your room as she told me to hide here". Rebecca ex
I nearly threw up at the sight of a bloody Aunt Laura,her stomach was wide open and I could see the insides of it. I suspected she was cut with a knife.Who could have done such a thing to her? As far as I know Dad painted her as a good and caring woman." What was that?". I heard someone say from downstairs as I stood up from the bloody floor that had soiled my pyjamas and ran towards Rebecca as I dragged her back into the room and closed the door.I opened my backpack and took out my pen knife, it was mostly used for cutting fruits,mum always asked why I carried weapons around and I also in my defense."It's
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 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
