The Mad New World through my eyes

Chapter 2 What Happened

One more I woke up and the house was awefully quite. Normally I can hear my mother talking and cooking breakfast in the kitchen. I slowly got out of bed and got dressed like normal. Went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. Washed my face with soap and water.

I head back through my room out into the hallway towards the kitchen. As I reach the kitchen I stop. What I saw shocked me. I saw that there was a trail of blood on the floor. I was freaking out inside.

Panic started to rise as a million things were running through my brain. I started to get shaky in my hand and legs as the adrenaline rushed through me. I start to walk through the kitchen carefully. I quietly make my way around the table and chairs to the counter. I see the blood trail leading out of the kitchen to the front door.

I decided to go check the rest of the house quickly. I looked in all the other room's to see if I could find mom or dad. Neither could be found in any of the rooms. I started to worry even more. At this point I was hoping at least one of them was okay.

I have to find them was the only thought that ran through my brain. I went to the kitchen. Grabbed a knife from the knife rack. Turned and followed the trail of blood leading out the front door. I'm just hoping I can make it in time to help them.

I go through the front door, jump down off the porch, and start running in the direction the blood is going. I run a ways through the woods. I'm just about to round a curve of bushes when I hear something. I slow down and peek around the bushes. What I saw turned my stomach.

I saw my mother being eaten by a Dragonet. Beside her was my father already dead. The other Dragonet was chopping him up. I watched as he started stashing him away in pieces in a satchel bag. Once he was done loading the bag. He turned and lifted the bag onto a horse. I was numb from the shock. All I could do was watch as they ate my mother and butchered my dad before my eyes. As I watched it slowly dawned on me that it was to late to save them. I watched until the end as the got onto the horse's after eating my mother. Then they left head towards the town.

I sat there for a ready long time before I realized my stomach started to growl. At first I didn't realize it was coming from me. Until I heard it more loudly. Then my stomach started to hurt from the hunger. I realized I needed to go to the bathroom as well.

I slowly got up, bent down, and picked up the knife that I hadn't noticed I dropped. I walked back towards the house. I was trying to make sense of what happened. I know my mother and father warned me about the Dragonets as a child. I just never thought anything like this would happen to us.

I went to investigate how the event came about. I noticed when I got to the front yard. That there was blood to the side of the house and on the ground. I think that my dad was on the way to the barn to grab a horse. The Dragonets must have ambushed him there before he got half way there.

Then I figured that they heard my mother in the kitchen. While she was prepping for breakfast as she normally did. They must have come through the front door. Then grabbed her before she had a chance to scream. I'm guessing that they held her mouth shut.

Then stabbed her in the side to make it easier to get a hold of her. Then they dragged her out through the front door. That's my theory about what went down. All that while I was still sleeping in my room. Not knowing anything was going on.

As I come to realize that I'm now all alone and hungry. I start to cry for the first time since all this happened. I sob loudly and long into the evening. I head into the house and see the horrible blood on the floor leading to the kitchen. I look around and don't know what to do at this point.

I go grab a wrag to start cleaning up the house. I work on cleaning up the blood for hours. Before I think of it I get up and head to my room. I look down and it dawned on me that I'm covered in blood. I quickly stripped and got into the shower to clean myself.

After I got done with the shower I went to my dresser. Grabbed some clean clothes and got dressed. I turned around and looked down. I went towards the clothes bent down and grab the blood stained clothes. Then headed towards the kitchen and threw away the clothes.

My stomach started to growl again. I'd forgotten about getting something to eat earlier. I moved around the kitchen to look in the fridge. I wanted to find something simple to eat. I decided to fix myself a sandwich.

It was simple and easy so it only takes a minute to put everything together. I sat down at the table to eat. Then I got chills running down my back as I came to realize how quiet it was. It seemed like it was the first time ever. That I can remember where I heard nothing and it started to scare me.

I quickly got up from the table. Went to turn on some music in the living room. Only when it started to play. Did the tention release a little bit from the day. Now I'm feeling a little tired since all the stress has died down a little.

I decided to leave the music on to help ease me while I'm in the house. I turn to head to my room. The day was awful. I'm feeling miserable about the whole ordeal.

I hope tomorrow will be a little bit better. I think I'll get some sleep for now. In the morning I'll head over to my mom's friend house. That way I can talk to them about what happened. Maybe they might know where my family is at.

I just hope Mr. Riker will know what to do. He's been our family friend for a long time. I've known him since I was a little child. He's from the werewolves race. My parents told me once that this wasn't always where we lived.

They never really told me about the old house. The only thing I do know is that I have an Uncle somewhere out there. His name is Ryan. He's my mother's brother. No he's the only family I have left.

I hope Mr. Riker can help me with finding out where my Uncle is. He might know where my family moved from. Any information will help at this point. Man, the many questions and what ifs keep going around in circles in my head. It making me anxious about what tomorrow will bring.

It's making me frustrated. That I can't do anything about this right now. I'm wondering what to do. Considering I have no one to help until tomorrow. It's just all do confusing.

I'm trying to get a grip on reality. I know my parents killed by Dragonets. Then eaten right before me. I had to clean up my mother's blood in the house. Now I'm trying to calmly rationalize the situation and come up with a plan for the future. Man, I'm just going to go to sleep and do something in the morning.
