2 : Friends

I opened the door and I was extremely shocked when I saw someone I knew from the past.

" Wh- what are you doing...here? "

It was my ex girlfriend. She's covered in blood.

" Can... can I stay here..? "

She asked me then I told Stella to grab a cup of water then we went to the dining room.

" What the hell happened? Are you alright? "

I asked her then she explained everything to me.

" I- Well my neighbor knocked at the door but he's holding a weapon, my mom and I got terrified so we didn't do anything. He aggressively opened the door and grabbed our stuffs. Then my mom tried to stopped her but... things went bloody. I couldn't do anything but to watch them. My mother died because of me... I can't.. I.. "

I hugged her and tapped her back.

" No.. Samantha, it's not your fault. It's that person's fault. He won't hurt you anymore. I'll protect you. Don't worry, alright? "

She nodded and hugged me back.

The Next Morning

" Is your van still working? "

I asked my brother.

" Of course, here's the keys. You drive. "

He threw the keys to me and I told him to wake the others.

" Let's start this car and find a safe place. "

They all brought their stuffs and hopped inside the van.

We drove for hours until our car stopped.

" Oh god. Not right now please. "

I checked the engine then my brother hopped out the car.

" What are you doing? Get back in the car Lucas. Stella might be scared. "

He laughed then he went in the alley.

" Should I go get him? "

Samantha asked then I told her not to.

" He'll be fine. Maybe he needs to take a piss. "

Then I heard some voices through the alley where Lucas went to.

" Shit, he's in danger! "

I grabbed my gun and went in there sneaky.

I noticed that he's pointing a gun to someone.

Then someone grabbed me by surprise.

" Damn, this man has a gun too. Maybe we can steal their stuff. "

Then I noticed my family being captured. I tried to scream but he's covering my mouth.

" Heh, their mother and their little sister. "

I was wondering where Samantha went then I saw her hiding in the corner with a bottle at her hand.

" Tie them up then bring them to the base. "

Before I can scream, someone knocked me out.
