It was a hot, blazing Sunday afternoon in August, 2016. The Myers, a small family of 3, were watching the news channel. They had just come home from a long day of hiking and they were all ready to have a nice day of relaxation.
"It's good to know the ice caps aren't melting anymore," Ralph, the handsome and doting father of the family, pointed out to his wife. "It'll stop the end of the world."
"Yes, of course," The working and loving mother of the family, Alexandria, agreed, her green eyes shining.
The young, 15 year old, only daughter of the family, Sabrina gave an awkward smile, She had the official awkward teenager look and by all means wasn't perfect in anyways, she was always more moody and quiet, preferring to immerse herself in art.
The family sat happily together, conversing about the world that surrounded the small town of Sunset Valley, unaware that someone was standing at their window.
CRASH!
The family froze as they heard the kitchen window break, and slowly listened to the footsteps coming. As an instinct, they all jumped up and stared, instead of running and hiding.
A man wearing all black and a hoodie appeared, running across the corner of the hall. When he noticed the family he fumbled for his gun, pointing it securely at them. Sabrina grabbed onto her mother's arm, shaking as her parent's were frozen. Her eyes went from the gun, to the man pointing it at her father.
"Move and the man goes." He said, his voice deep and evil. A tear slipped out of Sabrina's eyes as they went to look at her father.
And he started running, with an extreme rage in his eyes. She had never seen her father like this, nor had she ever seen her father running straight through a bullet piercing through his shoulder. Alexandria gasped. "Run!"Ralph shouted as he pounced on the man.
Alexandria made a mad dash as the fight scene happened, the man struggling as he tried to pull the trigger, Sabrina's father pounding on the man. She watched, terrified, unable to move when she heard her father scream, his punches becoming faster and faster as bullets pierced his body. His scream triggered her will to survive, but she couldn't see well from the tears pouring out as she saw her father start to shake, blood on both of the person's faces.
She scrambled up the stairs, turning back only to a scream of horror and multiple bullet shots. She saw many shots through her father's shirt and one large bullet shot just right under his eye. Tears filled the young woman's eyes as she struggled to run up the stairs, running into the bathroom and locking the door. Shaking, she ran the faucet and took a sip of water. She hear another gunshot, and the quiet whimper of her mother, and a thump. She crawled into the bathtub, trying hard to calm her breath and count to 10 when she remembered she hadn't locked the other door.
"Fuck! I'm a fucking idiot!" She thought, letting the tears fall. The door opened.
This is it, this is my last time I'll ever be in this bathroom! This is the last day of my life! She thought as she peeked over the edge of the bathtub. I'll never experience prom or getting married or having a kid and... my parents... I didn't tell them I loved them.
Sabrina started to cry, loud sobs and hiccups. She stopped. A shadow was above her... she had given herself away.
She screamed as a hand went onto her, covering her mouth. She tried to kick and scream, and struggled to get up. Soon. black spots covered her vision as she struggled to breathe. No, No, NO!
The world around her went blank and little did she know, she had not died, but instead she was being carried off...
A very action-packed start with a lot of tension, that still leaves a lot of mystery! I really like the look of Sabrina, she has a very "real" look about her, unlike the typical super-model Sims that are so typical, which I really appreciate. Like a girl I can actually imagine having gone to school with at that age.
ReplyDeleteThank you!(: I based her a lot off myself, currently suffering that awkward teenager look myself.
