The beginning of the end
782 Words
The second I did a loud c***k went off traveling like wildfire through the trees. A sharp tremble drilled and shook through my bones and I was thrown up in the air and slammed full-force into the ground. I woke up to the feeling of the cold hard rock on the side of my face. I could have been past out for seconds or minutes even hours but I didn't know. A loud ringing pierced my ears and black spots and blurs were constantly pulsing in and out of my sight. My body was numb but I felt pain on every square inch. “HAZEL” my name echoed through the ache “no please no Hazel no''. I disappeared into a deep dark sleep.
“I got this for you Sissy” Gabriel tugged on my t-shirt and handed me the same flower he would always get whenever we came to the park before running off to the playground. I chased after him as he screeched in laughter “im gonna get you” I said with a grin as I chased him around the play equipment “ ahhh sissy stop” he ran off giggling. “I got you!” I grabbed him and threw him up in the air and caught him while he laughed. We were happy. We were complete.
But the happiness bit by bit faded until it vanished completely. Reality came rushing back and I awoke from my dream. The warmth of the sun kissed my face but was overpowered by a pounding headache. A sharp stinging rang in my ear and a heavy tingling sensation ran through my veins. My vision slowly but surely came into focus to the wooden panels on the wall and the cracked window that the sun peeked through with the same large metal and wire fence outside, I blinked a few times to try re-gain my vision before realising “gabriel… Gabriel… GABRIEL!'' I said getting louder and louder I searched the room only to meet the icy cold eyes of Bryan “easy, easy it’s okay” he said as he stood from the armchair in the corner “he’s fine, he’s just having breakfast in the other room down the hall”.
I shot up out of bed before he could say anything else and stumbled out of the room calling out to Gabriel. “Hazel stop you need to rest you were just electrocuted by the fence” Bryan said as he followed me down the hallway but I kept going and didn't listen. Using the walls to carry me I stopped in the doorway the first, second and third room but no Gabriel “Gabe where are you” I let out a heart wrenching call while fumbling over myself towards the last room and with no reply I raced into where Gabriel was standing on one of the dining chairs over the table with a mouth full of toast “hi shishy” he said with a lisp from the overloaded amount of food in his mouth and his goofy wide smile. Even though I was in so much pain I bolted to him. “Are you okay Baba, are you hurt?” I checked around his arms, his stomach, his legs everywhere for any sores of any kind “im alright sissy” he said after swallowing down his food. I sighed in relief and sat beside him placing my heavy head in my hands.
Bryan emerged from the hallway into the small dining room, kitchen area and looked at us almost letting out a sigh of relief as well. I arose from my chair and grabbed the sharp butter knife that was used for Gabriel’s toast and faced it towards him “stay the hell away from us” I said while standing between him and Gabriel with my body. “Easy I’m not going to hurt you” he said in a calming manner he had his g*n in a holster attached to his belt under the t-shirt but he didn't reach for it. I turned around, threw Gabriel under one arm and spun back around facing the knife back to him. "You don’t wanna do this Hazel” he said as his facial expression changed and his voice raised lounder. He took a step closer and I shuffled to the opposite side of the table as he was, still holding Gabriel on my arm, I started eyeing for the exits. He chased us around the circular table getting angrier by the second, I shoved the table into him with my hip and made a run for the door.
