time time time

Tik, tok, tik, tok, the sound of time passing by. You dont have much of it left. Tears are streaming down your face as you crawl up the stairs. It has been nearly 2 hours since they attacked the whole of Tavulate Village.
I know to keep my mouth shut, as i dont want them to find me. I am the only one in my family that survived their shootings.
As i reach the top of the stairs, I see my baby sister curled up in a ball next to my mother. They both were shot in the head.
I hear voices downstairs and i see one of the shooters staring straight at me. Instinct was my first thought. I knew they didnt give a shit about me, and if i didnt get out of there soon, i would be a goner, just like my mom and my baby sister.
I ran as fast as my twiggy legs could go and i reached the roof of my house in a matter of seconds. There is a secret base on my roof, where supplies of water and preserved food await me. I quickly unlock the base and climb in. I listen to the distinctive sound of feet shuffling below me, and i hear them climbing up to the roof.
My heart races and fear takes over, but after half an hour, i hear silence outside. I peeped though a tiny crack from the lock and i see no one.
Just as i was about to go out, the tiny door opens and i see my dad looking deep into my eyes. I look at his hand i see a gun.  "Sorry sweetheart, its time to go now."
