I woke to the sounds of ear piercing screams. Before I knew what was going on I was pulled from my bed and was taken to the woods. I looked at the person who was holding my hand, it was a boy about the same age as me, he had black hair and had eyes the colour of emeralds.

I looked around for my mother and father but I couldn't see them anywhere. Before I could ask the boy what was happening I heard more screams but this time they were closer. I looked behind me and could see hundreds of people running in our direction. The boy pulled my arm and started to run. He was too fast I couldn't keep up. The grip he had on my hand slowly loosened and I found myself in the middle of the terrified crowd. The boy was nowhere to be seen. I looked left and right but all I could see were the terrified looks of each person that passed me. "Mother, father where are you!" I tried to go back but there were too many people and they weren't letting me through. I found myself on the ground holding my hands to my face as hundreds of people ran over me. I cried as the pain was unimaginable. My head hurt and I couldn't think straight all I wanted to do was find my mother and father. I took a deep breath and shouted "MOTHER WHERE ARE YOU!" No reply. I couldn't feel my legs anymore and there were still people running over me, no one stopped to help, no one even looked they just kept running. With the last of my strength I crawled to a tree and sat against it. I looked up. There were bright lights in the sky. What were they? I then heard loud bangs and more screaming. I covered my face with my hands. This wasn't happening. It couldn't be right? It had only been about five minutes and there were no more people in sight, I couldn't hear any noise at all. It was silent. I was more scared than before, I didn't know what was happening and I was alone. I wiped my face with my hand and looked at my legs. I stared at them in shock they had cuts all over them and were now turning black. I cried as the pain had gotten worse. Many thoughts were going through my head. Why me? Why is this happening? What has happened to my mother and father? And where had that boy gone to?

I looked up once again and winced as rain drops fell on my legs. I moved closer to the tree. It was now pouring with rain. It was too loud for me to hear anything. I blinked as something had just touched my face. Instantly I looked behind me, it was nothing just a branch from the bush. I smiled slightly in relief when something hit me in the head.

It was cold; my body was being dragged across the stone hard ground. I was barely conscious. I no longer had the strength to move my arms. I couldn't fight back. I looked up at the person who was dragging me. I stared in shock tears falling from my eyes. "Brother..." That's all I could say before I blacked out.

"Lizzy!" "Wake up" "please Lizzy" what was that? I could hear a faint voice calling for me. "Lizzy... please" It sounded like my mother. A shiver ran down my spine. No It couldn't be, why would she be here? I felt someone squeeze my hand. Slowly I opened my eyes. In front of me sat my mother. She cried and hugged me tightly. I stared in shock. What happened to her? She had cuts and bruises all over, her hands were shaking terribly, and she could barely keep her eyes open. I start to cry. But how ... how could she still smile. She carefully caressed my face avoiding the cuts. "Don't worry Lizzy I am fine" She stopped and looked at the sky. I looked at her, still she looked beautiful even through all the cuts and bruises she had. She took my hand held it tightly. "Lizzy don't cry... not for me" I was confused. Why couldn't I cry for my own mother?

After a few minutes of silence I decide to look around. We were in a small cell; it had just about enough room for us. In front of us there were iron bars between us and the outside. To me they were between us and freedom. I put my hand on a cold metal bar. I pulled. I knew it wouldn't work but I carried on pulling. Just hoping it would come loose and we could be free. It didn't. We were trapped. I cried in pain and frustration. My mother put her hands on my shoulders. "Lizzy it's alright" ... "NO, NO ITS NOT ALRIGHT!" I cried in great frustration. My mother looked taken back but still smiled. Her smile. It was fake. "I.. I didn't.." She held me close. "I know Lizzy I know"

I shivered. How long had it been? Why was this happening? Who... I just remembered who had taken me here... My brother...

A shiver ran down my spine. I looked outside. My brother stood outside staring at us. I looked at my mother and she was trying to stop herself from crying. He looked at me then her. "Sorry..." that made me so angry. I said with a smile on my face "Luke" he was about to say something but stopped when he looked at me. I glared at him. Taking a deep breath I said "YOU BARSTARD, YOU ...YOU HAVE NO RIGHT APOLOGISE TO US, GO AWAY!" He just looked at me. My mother was now crying. "Goodbye..." and he ran away.

I looked at my mother who was now silent. "Mum..." before I could finish what I was saying she grabbed my shoulder and pulled me towards her. "I knew you know" "Mother... what did you know?" She put her head on my shoulder and said "I knew that this would happen... about Luke... I... I" She knew. She knew this would happen so why? "I couldn't... Lizzy... I love him you know ...I just couldn't" I understood what she was saying. I f I were in her shoes I probably wouldn't have told anyone either. We hugged for what felt like forever but in reality it was only 1 minute.

I had mostly forgotten about the pain in my legs. It's not that the pain was gone, even though I wished it were, it was just that there was no room in my mind for pain. All that was there was 'we must survive'

I looked up at the sky and it had now stopped raining. The clouds had past and I was able to see the stars. I couldn't help think about what would happen to us. Why we had been taking here and what they were gonna do to us. I moved closer to the bars to see if I could see what was happening outside. I looked left and right but I could see nothing. I sighed in relief I was just about to say something when I heard my mother scream. I turned to her as fast as I possibly could. There was a large man holding onto my mother's hair.

The man wore a black coat that was obviously too small for him, he had a black mask on that covered his whole face. I looked closer and could see on his hand had a tattoo on it, the tattoo looked like two golden dragons with and thin black line through the whole thing. What was it?

I stared at the man in shock. How? How did he get in here? I looked around the small cell and saw that there was a faint light coming from the stone wall behind him. A door. The man was pulling her closer to the door. He was trying to take her away. "Mother!" Ignoring the pain in my legs I stood up and ran to her. Before I could even touch her the man lifted his hand and hit me in the face. I fell back to the floor. The pain in my legs had gotten worse. I looked up holding my cheek as it started to swell. "There's no use trying to save her, just sit here and be a good girl" "don't worry we will come for you soon" with that he pulled my mother through the door and slammed it shut. I could no longer see the light.

My mind was in shambles. What had just happened? My mother she was taken away from me. Why? I walked to the wall even though I could barely stand. WHACK. WHACK. No matter how many times I hit the wall no one came. I could barely see as my eyes were filled with tears, I wiped my face and winced as I caught my nail on my lip. I tasted blood in my mouth. WHACK. WHACK. Nobody came.

I stood there hitting the wall for ages. God knows what was happening to my mother. I could no longer cry; it seems I had run out of tears to cry. I was lifeless. WHACK...whack.... I was losing the strength I had in my arms. I fell to the floor.

I was no longer moving. I just wanted to close my eyes and sleep. And sleep maybe sleep forever. But I couldn't. No I wouldn't, not until... CRACK... "What was that?" I slowly moved my head to the wall. The door was opened. My eyes widened a little with hope. Had someone come to help? Was it Mother? Was she ok? The little hope I had left was crushed. I looked to the floor. "Lizzy..."

"Oi Luke what's taking you so long, bring the brat here already!" Who was that? It came from outside. Luke pulled me to my feet. I could feel him trying to be careful of my injury's. I glared at him. "Why?" "Why care for me now... it's too late you..." I expected him to have another apologetic look on his face. I looked up. My eyes widened in shock. His eyes they were full of hate, he was biting his lip so hard it started to bleed. Drip. A single drop of blood fell onto my cheek. "Luke.." I hated him for what he'd done but he was still my brother. I put my hands on his shoulders and pinched them. He was shocked and smiled slightly at me. "Lizzy i..." "LUKE! HURRY UP!" The man from outside shouted again. Luke looked at me. "Lizzy it's not your fault, it's their fault" Their, who was that? I wanted to ask but he pulled my hand and walked out of the door.

I was outside. What was happening? Where were we going? We walked in silence. I could hear shouts in the distance. Finally I could see my mother. She was on the wet ground. A man was holding her by the hair while her hands were tied together. My eyes widened in shock. "Mo...Mother" She looked up and smiled. Tears made their way down my face, I could cry again. Luke let go of me and I fell to the ground. I was just barely able to keep my head up.

Two men dressed in black, with the same tattoos on their hand stood either side of me. There was nowhere to escape. Not that I could. "Will you tell us where it is now" Wait tell him what? The man holding my Mothers hair carried on. "Come on now you don't want us to hurt your precious daughter now do you" Wait what? What's going on I'm confused? She flinched so did Luke. The man put his hand on her face to make her look at him. "Well?" She smiled at him. "Bite me" She bit his hand hard enough to draw blood. He pulled his hand away holding the place she bit him. "YOU BITCH!" He kicked her in the stomach. He took something out from his pocket. A gun...

The man walked towards me holding the gun to my head. "Maybe I should hurt your precious daughter and then you will tell me" I heard him take the safety lock off the gun. Wait. What's going on? Am I going to die? I heard my mother shouting. "NO STOP ANYTHING BUT THAT!" The man laughed "To late" It was like everything was in slow motion. The words 'am I going to die' kept going through my head. I closed my eyes tightly and waited the shot to come. It didn't. I opened one eye and found Luke was struggling to stop the man from trying to shoot me. "Wait... we may need her later we can't kill her!" If I wasn't as scared as I was then I probably would've laughed. This was Luke trying to protect me after all he had done.

"GET OFF ME, IDIOT!"

"You won't hurt her will you?"

"OF COURSE I WILL, NOW GET OFF!"

"Wait... no don't"

~

"SHUT UP!"

I put my hands on my mouth in shock. Wait what did I just do. Oh im so stupid im definitely gonna be killed now. I looked at both Luke and the man they were now both standing at staring at me. The man started laughing.

"Ha ha ha the little girls got some guts I see well I suppose I won't kill her for now"

Luke sighed in relief. And so did i. phew I won't be killed. A sharp pain entered my back. One of the men guarding me had kicked me hard in the back. 'Ouch' (must of hurt he had big black leather boots on 'cringes' >0<) I dropped to the floor trying to hide the fact I was crying in pain. The man bent down and whispered in my ear.

'Stupid little brat, you think you're gonna live through this well you got that wrong' (ya big meanie *sticks tongue out)

Oh he's right. I will never live through this, I will surely be killed. 'I... I don't want to die'. * T-T

BANG *gun shot

I instantly looked up to find my mother lying on the floor. The man was still holding the gun at her. I could hear her shouting as the pain must have been unimaginable. I ignored my pain and tried to go to her. The man behind me grabbed my hair. I looked at Luke he had the same face. A face full of hate.

~ 'MOTHER!'

"Ha ha ha will, you tell me where it is or do you wish to die in front of your daughter!"

No... please no. Why kill her. What has she done? Please Luke help her? I tried with all my strength to get to her but the man's grip was too tight. I cried in frustration. I dropped to my knees. I'm useless. I can't do anything.

My mother was laying on the wet ground. Blood seeping from her shoulder. She looked at me. And smiled .No. no.no.no.no.no. don't you can't leave me. (T-T)

'WELL ARE YOU GOING TELL ME OR NOT!"

*smiling "Never!"

"Luke you do it!"

He walked over to the man and took the gun. He held it to our mothers head. NO. NO. Luke what are you doing!

*Looking at me "LIZZY I'M SORRY FOR BEING SUCH A BAD MOTHER AND I HOPE YOU FORGIVE ME. I KNOW YOUR FATHER CAN BE OVER PROTECTIVE SOMETIMES AND MAY ANNOY YOU BUT HE STILL LOVE'S YOU SO DON'T BE TOO HARD ON HIM. I WANT YOU TO MEET SOMEONE WHO TRULY TREASURES YOUR FEELINGS. YOU MUST ALWAYS SMILE AND DON'T FORGET THIS. AND LIZZY DEAR DON'T YOU EVER AND I MEAN EVER FORGET THAT I LOVE...
