The Family Issue

"Dad, why don't you understand! You can't just kill yourself just because they threatened you they will kill you mercilessly!?!! You need to be brave! I will go and talk to those selfish people ", I said

"No honey, don't.. I'm old and you're still young, I want you to live your life to the fullest and... remember, I will always love you". That's it, before I could say a thing my dad shot himself straight in the head.

BANG!!

"Noooo.. " Tears started dropping from my eyes and I couldn't even stand straight.

Why? Why was it always me? My mom does when I was young and now my dad left me too!?!?

I was broken. I didn't know what to do and went straight ahead to file a case against the Mafia family who used to torture my dad. As I was about to get in my car, I saw a big black car parked in front of my house. I bent down to see what was going on so that no one could see me

Man 1-'Where is she?'

Man 2-'Sir so sorry I swear she was here only crying for her dead dad'

Man 1- 'I don't care being her to me now or you'll find your dad dead too'

Man 2-'Ok sir'

I could hear what they were talking about and recorded it

Well I knew the sound wouldn't be that clear but at least it was worth a try.

I was about to sneak out when a tall man in a dark black suit stood in front of me.

He bent down and looked at me carefully as if he was thinking of which place to shoot me.

'Interesting', he said. Tf what's interesting. I thought he saw my face interesting so I boldly asked him, "I know am beautiful and interesting, it's nothing new, you know". I looked so dumb to him saying that.

"Well, well as per me you, look like trash and secondly I interesting is the fact that you have so much courage to record this proof , that too against this family ", he said if he owned them.

"I think you should not come in my way as I recorded you'rs too and leave me alone", I suggested.

'Huh? Who the hell do you think you're talking to', he said.

'Uhmm, maybe a...Hooman ', I laughed.

'Now see what this hooman does', he said with an evil smile on his face. It looked so disgusting!

'Tie her', he shouted!

OK.. so shit! I was literally talking to the leader. Before he could take a peek at me again, I dashed like a full speed cheetah sprinting on its food, despite the fact here I am the food and he was the cheetah. OK now time to talk here now.

I ran as fast I could towards the woods, well I knew that wasn't safe as I heard many people talk haunted stuff about it. Well I couldn't think of a better option than that so I dashed towards the woods.

I stumbled over a rock and hurt my knees. 'Is this seriously a good time to hurt my knees the 23rd time, that too at the exact same place? ', I shrieked.

'Run run run run or you will die in a not so fun fun fun fun WAY!!!!!!! ', I said to myself and continued running.

I reached a cave that looked deep and hid in it. Well I have to admit this forest is really scary!

As I was about to do the further exploration of the cave, I heard a man sounding hurt. He voice was familiar but he was hurt, I could tell this by listening his voice

???- Aghhh, someone help!

I heard him crying for help.

I went as fast as I could and here we go..

That man again?? Why would k help the man who was literally trying to kill me

??- You little weasel again?!? Help me or you will surely die

Well I seriously didn't wanted to die so I helped him

I always keep a small box with me which has essential medical stuff

I helped him with his wounds and he looked good again, I mean not that 'GOOD' just the normal good 'GOOD'.

'Now just because you helped me I will kill you very fast so that it won't hurt you that much.

Did he just... say that?

Oh gosh poor me tried to help a Rich guy and now he tells me he'll still kill me. My my poor me!

'OK so you guy, you listen, I have nothing to do with you so leave me on my own and you stay here for a while and I'll go... EsCaPeeee', I squeaked and was about to run off but then suddenly, the lightning hit so hard that it made the front rocks collide against each other and blocking the front path from which I was about to escape. 'Wow, now I'm stuck in this hideous cave with a hideous man and in the most hideous way I tried to deal with this hideous man's hideous wounds and still this hideous man will kill me', I complained. He heard me and told me the same thing. 'Do I look desperate to get stuck in this hideous cave with a silly kid like you!', he shouted.

'Yes you do'

'No I don't '

'You do'

'I don't '

'You do'

'I don't '

We continued this till like half an hour and came to and end when she begged me to stop.

Well I can talk a lot so.. yeah I won!

'I won yeahhhhh ', I exclaimed

'Are you crazy, we are stuck in a haunted forest and in a hideous cave and you are seriously dancing around ,' he said in disbelief.

Well he was right, we have to do something.

I don't wanna get stuck here with a man like him. 'So where are you from', I asked.

He couldn't just believe what he heard. 'Are you seriously serious?', he said

'I am seriously serious in the most serious way a person could get serious ', I shrugged .

'You kid stay here, as plan of doing a circus show while I find a way out', he said.

Did he just call me a kid? Do I look like a kid to him. Am I a kid guys? Well y'all don't know so hehe.

He went further in the cave to explore and find a way out while I sat playing there with my fingers.

'Are you gonna come or not', he shouted.

Like dude seriously, he told me to wait here and now he's calling me ughh that hideous guy.

'Coming old man Waittttt ', I shouted.

When I reached there his facial expressions made it clear he wasn't in a good mood. Well people like him don't even know what 'MOOD' is. But clearly here his little mood was also not in a good mood.

'Did you call me a old man? Do I look like a old man? Am the most handsome guy you have met in your whole useless life which was about to come to an end', he shouted.

Yeah yeah my life was about to end just cause of him but who the hell just saved his useless life??.

'Fine not old man but Middle man listen, who just saves your life huh? I did and who just healed your wounds I did, your just alive because of me', I said.

'I was nearly going to die listening to you, you better take no talking classes , I wish to just zip that talkative mouth of yours ', he said.

Well he is right. Am a bit talkative but wait... No no way that hideous man can't be right. Never!

I thought to end this fight here, who knows he might kill me in frustration.

'Let's go and search a way out of here', I said calmly.

He was shocked but didn't utter a single word and we both went further to find a way out.

Well do you think we could complete this entire journey without fighting ?? No right hehe.

We went ahead as the path was getting smaller and smaller and we had to squeeze in. By mistake I stepped on his toe and he shouted like a girl.

Lol. 'You do have a beautiful way of shouting ' , I tried to make fun of him by saying so. He lost his patience too early well what can I expect from gangsters like him.

'Make me angry one more time and you'll regret everything you just said to me, I'll cut your head and legs and fry them and boil your hands and serve them to my pet Lion and I'll chop out your fingers and feed them to my other not so favourite Lions', he shouted.

I gasped.

Who has pet lions at their home

The government should do something of these rich families forbidding the law.

I shook my head in a way to say that I agreed to him and he gave me an evil smile and we went ahead.

The mesmerizing walls of the cave which had rubies attached to them and water droplets dripping from the top made me smile and I couldn't just stop smiling like seriously I was smiling like a dumb kid and he was laughing at me. I turned my head towards him and he suddenly gave me death glares. Well am sure that would be for wasting his precious time. Or I could say 'NOT SO PRECIOUS'.

Suddenly we heard a strange voice. It was of a woman crying. We hurried to the direction the voice was coming from and reached there and saw no one. The voice also stopped coming.

Well I have to admit am a scaredy cat and I jumped on top of him.

'What the hell, Just get off of me, get of u kid', he hurriedly said.

'Oops am sorry', I just got myself embarrassed in front of this scary guy.

We went further and decided to split up. As a kid I grew up reading R. L. Stine books and splitting up wasn't a good idea for me.

'Hey I think we shouldn't split up it's dangerous ', I said in a worried tone.

'So you're worried about me', he said confidently.

Literally I could just laugh like an hour on that statement but I said 'Think of it as anything just splitting up isn't the best idea.

'Fine', he said and we both took the route to right.

That cave literally looked so small from the outside but inside it was literally bigger than 1000x my house.. Is it too much hehe.. Who knows what dangers awaited us next

Next episode soon..
