Liliana

Liliana

*sob* *sob* daddy, momma, Liam. I cried silently as I watched my family's murder from under the table. Momma had told me to stay in no matter what I saw, but seeing momma lying there with blood in her mouth I had to come out, I had to check Liam. He promised me a bed time story, I had to see my family.

I slowly walked out and saw the three people I love the most lying lifeless on the ground. Tears rolled down my cheeks without stopping, my ten years old brain could not stand it anymore, so I passed out.

I woke up to find two pairs of azure eyes peering at me. I jolted up and looked around me, I was not at home. my mind was in total disorder and I was confused on how I got here and where my family was.

"where's momma, Liam and daddy" I voiced out. the lady just looked at me for a few seconds then looked away.

I studied my environment and I figured where I was was like a school setting but it just had a different vibe.

" where am I?" I asked the man and he just replied with a common "somewhere safe" and then he went out with the woman. I decided to scout the area, immediately I got out of bed I fell on the floor.

The fall had quite an impact on my petite body, and I screamed but no one came.

I spent the next three hours as I remembered my family, tears made it's way to my eyes and started falling. The lady from before came in with a plate "here's your dinner" she said. I noticed this time she had a more gentler approach than before. She helped me up and once I was settled she prepared to leave. " aunty, where am I" " please tell me will Liam come read me a bed time story.................... he promised he would".

The lady smiled and said "don't worry Liam would be back soon" then she left.
