Nightmare

What a wonderful day it is today! Hi! my name is Haruto and i'm turning 10 this year! My parents are leaving for work overseas and i'm alone at home! You know what that means! Hehehehe time to take out the lotion- just kidding! I'm 9 thats just weird haha! Also i'm not alone today. My aunt Darleen is at home to take care of me again. My parents ask her to do this everytime they go overseas for work. They work as tour guides FYI. On the bright side, she isn't as strict as my parents so i can play games and watch cartoons with my friends all day! And even stay awake past my bedtime!

It was just another normal evening where i'm playing some mario kart on the wii with my childhood friend Timothy. The rest of the gang are currently grounded after we egg'd our teacher's house. Timothy and i managed to slip away before getting caught so we ran off scot free! Anyways i was having the time of my life playing games with my good bud Tim when we heard...sounds coming from the living room.

"Whats that noise?" Tim asks.

"I think its probably my aunt but i have no idea what she is doing."

"Wanna go there and check it out?" I inquire.

Being the curious little buggers we are, we sneak up to the living room as the noise grows ever so louder.

"Is it me or do i hear my aunt groaning?" I whisper to Tim.

"Oh no! Maybe she is hurt! She must be in pain!"

"Quickly! We have to help her!"

We changed our pace and rushed out into the living room to see my aunt and a man i don't recognise wrestling on the couch naked?

"HEY YOU! STOP HURTING AUNT DARLEEN!"

"WHAT THE HECK? WHO IS THIS KID? IS HE YOURS? YOU TOLD ME THERE WAS NO ONE HERE! YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU HAD A KID EITHER! I'M OUTTA HERE!" The mysterious man then puts his clothes back on and skedaddles out of the house.

"NO WAIT! I CAN EXPLAIN! THEY AREN'T MINE!"

"I DON'T WANNA HEAR YOUR LOUSY EXCUSES! BYE!" And he shuts the door.

"Ouch, that was loud" Tim comments.

"Aunt are you ok? Did he hurt you? What were you-" I was cut off with sobbing coming from my aunt. Is she crying!? I knew he was bad!

My thoughts were interrupted by a loud slap. I look back up and am stunned to see my aunt standing over Tim with a hand raised. There was a pretty big red hand mark on Tim's left cheek.

"DO YOU STUPID BRATS KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE!? I FINALLY GOT MYSELF A BOYFRIEND AFTER ALL THIS TIME AND YOU JUST HAD TO RUIN IT! I'M ALREADY 40 YEARS OLD! NOBODY ELSE WILL WANT ME WHEN I'M THIS OLD! UAAAHHHH!"

"RUN!"

We sprint out of the house in hopes that after awhile, she would calm down. But as kids we are obviously slower than her.

"COME HERE YOUUUUUUU!"

We ran up the fire escape while shouting for help with tears in our eyes. Panicking, Tim stumbles on one of the last flights of stairs.

"TIM! QUICKLY GET UP BEFORE SHE CATCHES U-" I stop my sentence halfway as aunt Dorothy appears, menacingly looking down at Tim.

"Um hi aunt Darleen! I hope you can forgive us for whatever we did!"

"Heh...hahahaHAHAHA" as she laughs uncontrollably, she grabs Tim by the neck and lifts him off the ground.

"HRRRRRK" tim struggles to breathe as my aunt continues her mad laughter and i scream for her to stop. Seeing how my pleas were being ignored i grab her hands in an attempt to shake them off Tim but as a 9 year old, it was pointless. In a last ditch effort, Tim presses into her eyes with his thumbs.

"AHHHHHHH YOU PIECE OF-!!!" i watch as aunt Darleen steps back until she is against the railing before Tim pushes a bit more and...they fall off.

"AHHHHHHHH! TIMOTHY! AUNT DARLEEN!" I wail as i hear a *thud* and look over the railing to see both of them dead in a puddle of blood below. I then hear some footsteps from behind me before i faint and fall on my back.

I wake up in a sudden motion and look around in distress. I see that my new bird family is still fast asleep. I cuddle back into their warmth as i sigh in relief. Phew just a nightmare.
