Chapter 1

Theresa

“Hey! Watch out!!!” I yelled,

But it was too late, the man had died.

A few minutes before the man was watching a

football match in his phone while he was walking on the pavement. He was

crossing the road. But he didn’t see the traffic and went on walking, then a

truck had hit him and he died on the spot. His blood was on my white shirt

which has now become red. The truck driver had called the ambulance, though the

man was already dead. I didn’t dare to see his body.

The police arrived and I had to give my

statement. After I had given my statement, I called the cab to go home. I won’t

say that live in the richest parts of the country but my family is rich enough

to pay for my education and all other stuff that I need at the age of 14.

I had to meet my friend but I couldn’t

because of that accident. As I came home, my dad called me upstairs.

I went to his room, which is the master

bedroom. I knocked the door.

“Come in, Tess” he said.

My dad is one of the famous business tycoons

in this city. He owns many companies. I am smart, because of him. He is the

best dad in this world.

As I went in, I saw my mom, who was one of

leading actresses during her time. That is why I have such a beautiful face.

Compared to dad, I much closer to my mom. As I am the only child, they cherish

me a lot.

“Hi” I said.

“Tess, come sit here.” My mom said.

They are acting weird today.

I went and sat on the sofa,

“Umm ... Tess,” he began, He seemed to be

scared of something. “I booked your tickets; you are going to LA tonight.”

“Why?” My response was sharp.

“Don’t ask questions, just listen to what

dad says.” My mom replied.

“I need an answer. WHY?” I shouted.

“You have to go; we … will come later.” My

dad said.

“What? But why?” I asked.

“Th-they have … arrived” my mum said.

My dad was looking at her with an

expression which said: why the hell did you tell her?

I don’t want to leave Australia. I love

this place. I don’t want to leave my friends, family, and go all the way to LA.

“Listen, you have to go. Otherwise, they

will k-kill you.” My mom said.

“What?” I asked.

“Go and pack; you are going to LA in another

1 hour, no more questions!” my dad shouted.

“Yea, we don’t have time.” My mum said.

I said, finally giving up. “Fine I’ll go,

but on one condition.”

“What is it?” my dad asked.

I asked, “Tell me who are they?”

If they will kill me then they will surely

kill my parents first.

**-BAM-**My thoughts were interrupted by the

door breaking into pieces.

It was a man, who broke the door with a

small punch.

‘Who the hell is he?’ I thought.

It-It was that man, who had just died an

hour ago in that accident.

Wtf? How is he alive? I remember that he

died on the spot.

“They are The Great Old Ones” he said

Great what?

My dad called the security guards. That

man, he killed all the security guards with a swish of his hand. He seemed to

have 10 times the power of a normal human being.

My mom pulled me aside into my room. She

started to pack my things in a rush. I went to see what happened to dad. He is

calling the police.

My mom, she threw the suitcase and pushed

a big bundle of notes in my handbag along with all the credit and debit cards

my parents have.

She said “Call the cab, Harry!”

Wait! so this means they aren’t coming

with me.

“MOM, DAD come to LA with me!” I yelled.

That man broke inside my room.

My dad went to fight so that I can escape.

He threw my dad.

Tears started coming from my eyes.

My mom stared in shock. Dad went to fight

again.

“Tina, Go along with her!” My dad yelled.

My mom pulled me, and we both started to

go downstairs.

It took us ten minutes before we could get

into our cab.

“Mom, … what about … dad?”

She didn’t respond. I was crying.

We reached the airport in like 45 mins.

She paid the driver and we went inside the

airport.

Then it started to rain …

As we were heading into the flight someone

started to shoot.

One of the bullets had hit my mom,

“MOM!”

“GO TESS, GO!”

I went inside the plane. My mom said, “Take

this” she gave me a map she continued to speak “Be careful!”, and then she’s

gone. Then the plane took off.

I didn’t do anything to save my parents. I

am a very bad daughter.

I couldn’t help them; I didn’t even know

what to do. I am a coward.
