It was an ordinary night. A night like any other. We were sleeping in our beds peacefully, cuddling one another and having sweet dreams.

Almost all of us had set an alarm for the next morning. We were habituated to waking up early and greeting the rising sun everyday. What we didn't know was, that the Sun would never rise for most of us ever again....

I was woken up by the sounds of something crashing downstairs. I lit the lamp and started to move towards the door to know what was going on. I felt a strong grip on my hand. It was my husband. "Sshh! I will go and see what's happening. You take the kids and hide somewhere till I get you. Be careful and don't let them make any noise.", he whispered and left.

I went slowly and woke the kids up. I hushed them, took my baba Diana in my arms and led them to the cupboard.

I could still hear the sounds of crashing things and bullets firing and some screams. My heart was racing wildly. The children were terrified and started crying. It was an ordeal to keep them quiet.

I heard someone call out my name. It was my mom. I opened the cupboard slightly and let her in. Now, with her in here, I was able to handle the kids better.

After what seemed like eternity, my husband entered the room and ushered us downstairs and into his car from the backdoor. My father was sitting in the driver seat. We all sat inside. I took the shotgun seat so it would be easier to handle my baby.

"What's going on?", I demanded as pa drove out sneakily.

"Someone broke into our house. All the security system is tampered with, the guards and servants are all killed. Whoever it is, is thirsty for our blood and has taken the pains to plan out everything.", explained my husband in a single breath.

Just as we thought we had escaped​ our death zone, we saw something fly towards us. "Shit! Bomb!" Before I could register who spoke that, it hit the car and suddenly, we were in burning hell.

I couldn't understand anything. I suddenly felt some strange force pulling me as the doors flew open and I was thrown outside, far from the burning car.

I was still hugging Diana who was crying violently. "Mom! Dad! Sam! No! No! Phil! Nooooo!!!!" I was screaming like mad while I saw my whole family, my whole world get roasted before my eyes while I stand here... I fell on my knees and wailed.

All of a sudden, my attention was drawn to the baby in my arms. My last family. My last hope!

I couldn't give up. I couldn't give up now, for the sake of this girl. I had to save myself and her from whoever was out there thirsty for our blood...

I did the only thing I could think of- I ran. I ran and ran till when ever and where ever my feet would carry me. I felt someone following me. I heard heavy footsteps behind me and I ran harder and harder and further and further....
