I opened my eyes to see smoke everywhere and that's when I remembered that's why I woke up, I was coughing non stop my room was dark and I could see smoke coming from under my bedroom door and I saw orange flames underneath.

Making me wonder, what the hell was happening? that's when I heard the commotion from down stairs and I put my feet on the ground, but I quickly lifted them up because it was flaming hot

I crawled from the bed to go to the other side where it was going to lead me to the bathroom and closet, luckily the floor was just warm that side, I guess the flames were not that bad yet and mind you I'm not panicking yet, under the circumstances.

I got in the shower quickly wetting myself still wearing the baggy white grandma nighty with cold water for thirty seconds and I got out quickly but I didn't turn the tap off just in case, I ran to my closet for my shoes and I found my hunting army green boots just where I left them, at the back of my closet since I was not allowed to wear them anymore.

I ran to the door and when I tried to open the door the nob was flaming hot but I manage to twist it a little opening the door but before I could fully do the Orange flame came in the door simultaneously with the smoke and I felt the heat on my hand And I knew I was trapped the moment I closed the door, but the idea came quickly as I ran to the running shower with a big towel wetting it before wrapping it around my body covering me from head to toe

I took a deep breath before opening the door and getting in the flame but what was odd was the fact that only the floor was burning like someone poured gasoline on it but I didn't have to ponder on it long as I heard the screams coming from my mother's room and I ran there as fast as I could, and what I saw there was horrific, so horrific I didn't even move my hand from the hot door knob as I stared at the scene seeing my father's head on the bed in a pool of blood on the soft chocolate duvet I used to envy and my mother cuddling his bloody headless body, crying.

 I stood there not moving watching as the blood coated her white nighty on her thighs and I didn't know what to do as I looked straight into my mother's cold dead eyes but she was still breathing cuddling my father's body but her eyes were dead void of any emotion and for a moment I wondered if she's the one who did all this, did my own mother killed my dad?

Before I could even ask what going on I heard in our family link

'Take the car in our family cabin, drive to my sister in port Elizabeth and don't ever look back just remember we loved you, but I didn't understand how could she want me to leave in a time like this but the voices coming from down stairs were not family and they sounded sinister and my mom kept chanting over and over again run, run.

But it was not until I heard them say the words that the situation became real and I knew I was in danger, yes I was in danger when I saw the smoke, and flames, but this was different because those foreign scents were from Born killers pack And I shivered before going to my mother giving her a kiss and whispered a goodbye before jumping from a five storey window and I knew even for a werewolf it was going to hurt but I rather have a broken leg that was going to heal in a couple of hours or die in the hands of those bastards 

When I got to the ground I heard a snap as my leg lost its shape and I bit my lower lips to stop myself from screaming and attract attention, I took a deep breath before looking down and I saw a bone sticking out from my carves and the pain was bad but bearable, I had a lot of accident hunting with my father and the picture of his head on the bed filled my head and a tear fell to my cheek but I knew that was not the time and place 

I put the towel in my mouth before twisting back my leg back in place and I whispered/moaned in pain my tears blinding me but the person in the window caught my attention when he screamed flashing his red eyes

"Come back or I will kill this whore called your mother" he growled holding her by her neck and I knew he could easily break it.

 My mother kept chanting in my link run my love his going to kill me anyway and I knew it was true so ran into the woods and when I turned for last time I saw my mother whispering something I'm his ear, before his eyes turned red again, and he twisted her neck before his sinister eyes looked straight in to my soul and I shivered, turned running. 

 I ran until I was deep in the woods and came face to face with my family's cabin. It was small, having only two bedrooms, a kitchen and living room with one bathroom and I knew I didn't have time for anything as I ran straight to the car that was hidden in the garage covered by the bushes. 

I put on a code which was my birthday and I ran inside getting in the car and drove off into the woods until I found a highway and by then the sun was rising taking away most of the darkness in the sky and I speed into the highway with my bloody clothes going 80 per hour and it wasn't long until I reached the next town 

Lucky for me it was still dawn and most of the people were sleeping so I stopped on the first petrol station I saw and it was filthy and rustic looking like those you see in a horror movie but I didn't care because my life was a horror movie and I didn't know how I'm going to live without my parents, I opened the boot and found a suitcase full of clothes and I took the first thing I saw a black skinny jeans and a black oversized hoodie, I closed the suitcase and there was a snap red bag next to it and when I opened it it was stacked with cash and an envelope addressed to me buy I put it aside taking a hundred and ran into their bathroom lucky the sloppy cashier was asleep drooling at the counter and I got inside the bathroom cleaning myself before I changed and took couple of snacks, five bottle of water and a red bull for energy

I tapped the counter impatient for him to wake up before those thugs got me and he woke up with a groan mumbling

"Five more minutes, mom" and I rolled my eyes he was a man in his thirties and his still call for his mother but those gray eyes got a shock seeing me and he got up fast wiping his mouth before mumbling a hello and scanning the items that only cost fifty bucks And an idea popped in my head fast

"Sir I could give you the change if you do me a favour" but he shook his head fast

"Sorry but I'm not sleeping with a minor not even for a fifty sorry man " said the stranger and I glared at him, what kind of pervert thought about that when someone ask for a favour and I'm fifteen for goodness sake but I needed his help that's why I didn't punch him on the face

"No sir, I just wanted you to tell anyone who comes looking for me in this shop that you heard me say, I was going to cape town to my grandmother okay?" I explained to him raising my brow and my brow was not even intimidating but I had to try

"Oh yes ma'am, that I can do" he said smiling and I took my plastic and ran to the car driving fast and that's when I remembered why everything cost was so little, I didn't fill the petrol 

Shit!
