Commotion roared, voices were raised, yet the voices sounded happy. They had a joy in their voice, all while Hanabi’s eyes filled with water, her mother holding her from behind. Hanabi’s eyes looked at the hand that laid barely open, a dark crimson red pool of blood had steeped into the floorboards of the room, a lifeless man laying on the ground with dried tears that went down to his ear. His black hair had been messed up and tainted red with the dried blood, his black eyes seemingly grey. Mina held her daughter close, crying softly, begging Hanabi to look away yet her warm amber eyes could not leave her fathers face. No light showed within his eyes, leaving a cold and chilling feeling run down Hanabi’s back.
“He’s dead! Take the mutt and the wife!”
The voices grew louder with the distant banging on the door growing loud with the sound of the door breaking into pieces shortly after. The world around Hanabi went slow, her mother being grappled from behind, her hands slowly leaving Hanabi’s body, screaming to get them off. “RUN HANABI!” Mina cried out, yet it was processing so slow for her. She remained staring at the lifeless body, Mina gradually being taken away, slowly but surely. Hands that Hanabi didn’t recognize, wrapped around her, dragging her along, her body going with it, yet her eyes never leaving her father. ‘Why..’ When his body left her sight; she felt her head slowly turn to the man that dragged her away, her eyes blinking slowly, not understanding anything.
She was only 6.
