Chapter 1

One month ago…“Avilla!!”I ran to the back of our house and opened it, stepping out I looked around and I saw a very fast figure coming from the woods behind our house.It was my father’s friend, the policeman“Avilla!!!” he ran fast towards me, he was breathing hard.I squinted behind him to see what he was running from but the area was empty.I could see his face very clearly now, it was red with sweat and the sweat made him look like he just crawled out of the river.“What’s going on?” I asked him“You need to come with me, it’s your parents…” he started to sayI didn’t wait for him to finish when I took off in the direction he had just come from.“Wait!!!” he chased after me,I didn’t wait, if something has happened to my parents then I needed to make sure they were okay.I waited when I got to a vast area and I didn’t know the way to go,“This way” he directedHe led me to a clearing and allowed me to see for myself.“Mom? Dad?” I covered my mouth, MOM! DAD!I looked down at their bodies, they were lifeless and pale, and the tears began.“What happened?” I whispered“I don’t know, I was patrolling the area when I found them,” he said“We have to call an ambulance,” I said standing up from the ground.“Avilla, we can’t,” he said“What do you mean? We have to help them, please!” I try grabbing himHe just looked at me, “it’s too late, and they are already dead” I place my head on my mother’s chest and cry.“I am so sorry,” he says through unshed tears.I sit on the ground and hold their hands till there were no tears left to cry.A week later, I sat on my bed wiping my wet tears, I couldn’t shake the fact that my parents were gone. I stood up and walked over to my window, I looked at the place they were buried. Tears fell freely from my eyes till I couldn’t take it anymore, I went back to my bed to lay down.I remember my dad saying“You are different, you are so much special”I always asked why and they wouldn’t tell me anything else.I stayed for a while before I got a call from my aunt…
