Escape

It started out peacefully, a nice family, a trashy but great place to live, and every evening everyone from the village would gather together in front of a burning fire and sing songs while having so much fun. That was until one day, a group of soldiers came into our village and started forcing us out of our homes, when we refused they started to get angry and started shooting at us. "Aurora! grab the emergency backpacks! I'll meet you at the emergency tent!" my mother yelled." but I can't leave you like this! you'll die!" "just go... I'll be okay." mother said as she put her hand on my shoulder. " are you sure"? " yes." I ran to the emergency tent and grabbed two backpacks, as I was just about to rush out of the tent I heard my mother yell my name then shortly after a heard a loud gunshot. I gasped in fear hoping it wasn't my mother that got shot. "search all the tents for any survivors!" a solider said aggressively. I hid behind a tall shelf hoping no one would find me, as soon as the solider was about to look behind the shelf where I was hiding a person yelled "over here come and get me!" the soldier quickly ran out of the tent and started shooting everywhere till he finally hit the innocent person who saved my life. when they were distracted I grabbed the biggest backpack and peaked my head out of the tent and looked both ways making sure they weren't nearby, as i looked i saw my mother lying on the ground. "MOM! NOOO!" I screamed as I dropped to the ground next to her, tears rolled down my cheeks as I bent down to give her a hug" I love you..." I said as I gracefully rubbed my hand on her cheek, a solider saw me and started running towards me, I got up, whipped the tears off my cheeks and started to run as fast as I could. The soldier started to shoot at me so I ran faster till i lost him. I had no idea where I was going to go now. And no idea how to survive.
