• Blood and Tears


    In a dark corner, I had my knee's curled to my chest with my head resting on them. I had my arms wrapped around my legs as I pulled them closer. My long bright brown hair touching the ground. The tears trickling down my cheeks as I sat near three dead bloody bodies. I lifted my head to stare at the bodies. My parents and brother. I remembered what had happened, because I watched it. I could do nothing but just stand there and watch them die before my eyes.
    I uncurled myself and let my right hand touch my cheek. There was something wet and sticky there. I pulled my hand away and my eyes widened. Their blood had been splattered on my cheek. I closed my hand and brought it to my chest. Why was I the only one who survived?
    Something moved and I looked over to my brother. I thought he was dead till he opened his eyes a little bit to look at me. I crawled over to him with happy, but sad, eyes. I sat on my knee's next to him and leaned over to look at his face.
    "Hana......" he coughed.
    "Don't speak....big brother, save your breath." I whispered.
    He tilted his head to look into my sad eyes. "I'll always be with you Hana. Just not here, I don't want you here. I want you to run, far away from here. I don't want you hurt anymore. I saved you...."
    "But I wanted to save you!" I shouted. "No! I won't run! Brother, I want you with me!"
    "I can't, but I'll always be with you, in your memories. I'll always love you, little sister. You'll find someone else like me one day, I know you will." he coughed again, sending blood on the floor.
    "No! I won't find someone like you! I don't want to replace you!" I shouted again, this time my tears falling again.
    "Good bye.....little.....sister......." he closed his eyes and was silent.
    "Brother? Brother? Please don't leave me! I don't want to be alone! I want to have you with me!" I said.
    I began to shake him, tears falling even more. "Brother? Wake up!"
    I threw my head back and cried loudly.
    "BROTHER!!!"
