THE DEAD OF MY PARENTS

I saw my dad stood up like a man that was very helpless, he tried to come up with a Way to protect his family, but every way just seems impossible, then he eventually said.

  " I kept the money the money in the forest, we need to go there, so I'll be able to take the money and hand it over to you" he said with a sad expression.

  "Okay old man, take your old butt and let's head to the forest so we could retrieve the money, I swear to God old man, if you are thinking of some dirty games, you won't leave to see the next day, even your wife won't even leave to see the next hour, much less your son won't leave to see the next 30 minutes, and I mean it when I say it" the man in black clothes said with a warning threats that would always remain in my memory. 

  My dad started walking till we reached  the door knob, and opened it, while contemplating, whether to go ahead or not, because I saw the hesitance in his actions, then he immediately stirred at me, like he was silently saying, "am sorry son, I should have been better" I understand his silence then I nod, so he would go ahead and retrieve the moneyso he can just hand it over this group of robbers, because right now am just tired of everything, I meant everything, everything just seemed so messed up as fuck, then he started walking steadily till he was outside our house, the house that give me that self of accomplishment, the sense of belonging, that euphoric bliss, that keeps me at Bay,.

 That was when I saw the man in Black clothes gripping my mother roughly as he held her firmly to himself, and started dragging her, then my mum involuntarily whimper in pain, the kind of pain that Pierce through my heart and soul, the man in white shirt grip my hair roughly and started dragging me, till we were outside, I felt nothing but pain, the I heard my dad roared in displeasure"stop it or else I'll not show you you where the money is". He's voice alone was quite intimidating that led all of them subconsciously led go of us, like a military commanders was commanding his officers, Me and my mom fell to the ground, then they continued walking behind him, and he continued walking as well, immediately me and my mom stood up and started following them in a more faster Pace.

  We continued walking for what seems like hours then I heard my the man in black said in anger evident in his bass voice" for how long are we going to continue Walking old man" the man shouted at my dad, then I heard no response from my dad Because he kept quite like he has been muted, then I saw him stop in his strides as he looked at a dry stick standing on the dry leaves that were spread all over the place, The bush was so thick the trees were so tall, the was forest was so eerie, the one that can make anyone has shivers down their spine, the my dad Started walking towards the dry stick and said to them, here is where the money is being hidden, but first I need something so I'll be able to dig" my dad said nonchalantly like he was just meant to do do it, when my dad act this nonchalant I know there must something hidden in his big mind, but I don't know what his thinking right now.

  "Just remove the stick right there and start digging already"the man in black said with desperation etched in his voice as he pointed at the stick which was at the far corner near a tree branch, then my dad started walking steadily towards the dry stick and walk back to where the standard stick was located then he started digging, there was bits of sweat dropping down from his forehead as he continued digging, then there was a blue box evident for the view of all of us, I saw my dad stopped digging and stirred at it for thirty long seconds "what are you waiting for old man, take the Cash and hand it over to us" the man I. Black said with his irritating Bass voice, the voice that always makes me sick whenever I hear it, then I saw my dad took the box and immediately threw the box towards me and told me run, without even thinking twince, I caught the box, and started running like my life depended on my legs, the man in Blue started chasing me, while I heard the deafening sound of a loud gunshot, that was when my legs loose it function as I stirred towards to sound of where the bullet was being fired, I stirred at my dad groaning in pain as we was weakly falling to the ground, he's eyes started closing, his shirt was completely drenched in blood, his hands held stomach as he groaned in pain, that was when I I knew what it really means to see ones dad dieing right in front of one eyes, I immediately held the box tightly, to hell with the box as I Started walking towards my parents, the man in Blue immediately caught the box, the box that right now I don't even give a shit, my father is my main priority, I didn't know when tears started streaming down my face, as I heard my mum being shot again, "God what have I done wrong to deserve this" I asked no one in particular as I shouted" mum... Dad, please don't leave me" I run to my dad as he lay on the ground still groaning in pain the pain that would forever etch at my memory, then I saw he lazily opened his eyes as he took his pearly white hand and slide his hand down to my neck so he could bring me closer Then he eventually said.

  "Am sorry son..am sorry I wasn't good enough, that box there was the money I worked day and night to see you were educated, to see you went to school, like your mates, but I failed, All I've ever wanted is for you to be proud that you had a father like me, life is very funny" I heard my dad said as he started coughing blood, I immediately held him firmly to me, as he said "you need to son, look that man is about to shoot you, I knew his intentions even from the beginning he wanted the money and wanted us dead as well that's why I gave you the box so you could leave and school to make me proud" I heard my dad said as I turned only to find the man in black clothes, pointing a gun at me, then I immediately fell to the other side as another bullet was added to my dad, I started running like my life depended on it, despite the pain I was feeling right now, yet I continued running then then I heard gunshot being fired at my direction but luckily it didn't hit me, as I saw a tree branch having so many roots I immediately hid under this roots, then the man continued running forward as he loose me, then I heard him groaned in displeasure as he Went back to the other man as he said" I think I lost the boy, we need to go out of here, before we're caught" I heard the man in black said, as they started running that was when I left a heavy sigh then I returned to where my parents where layed Dead but I just saw blood but there was no traces of their Bodies, Immediately there was traces of blood like it was being dragged, the followed the blood traces until I saw the two men taking my dad and my mom into our house, when they reached there the placed the bodies inside the house, I was thinking they were leaving but I was wrong, as I saw them pouring fuel, all over the house, they immediately set fire, the fire that made me numb, I felt nothing but raw anger, I was about to go them and shout for them to stop but I was too late,as the fire kept on burning the whole house, then they gave a satisfied look as they eventually left the burning building. Then I fell to the ground as i los I lost consciousness.
