One Last Chance ~A Story~

Chapter 1


I don't know how it started; the fire, but I know one thing... It destroyed my life. Burning and ripping ever living piece left of it. My parents sacrificed their lives to save me and my sister as a burning piece of wood came crashing down on them. I never got to see them get along, cause their divorced. Then, as me and my sister, Ella, ran outside to take cover, I looked over to ask if she was ok... And the most frightening scene I have ever seen in my entire life; a piece of glass right through her neck. I shook her crying, begging, hoping she would be ok. And I knew that she wasn't.

The police came to give me to the orphan edge. I kicked and screamed and pleaded for them not to. "PLEASE NO!!! YOU HAVE TO SAVE MY SISTER PLEASE!! SHE IS ALL I HAVE LEFT YOU HAVE TO PLEASE!!" They refused. So, anger flashed through my chest, powering up with my sadness, and I used my elbow to bash the polices neck, causing him to faint. I ran cause I knew they were going to come after me real quick like, so I ran into the streets. I hid underneath a park bench. I started to weep and cry. Everything I loved... gone... never again will I be able to see them. "Why, Ella, why mom, why dad did you have to leave me..." I whispered. An old shaky voice came upon the top of the bench as I saw an elder woman with dark blonde hair and the most blue-est eyes I've ever seen. "Whats wrong child?" She asked. It was none of her business, but I explained anyways.


"Well, I have grandchildren I'm not able to take care of and their orphans to. Wold you take them to their aunt and uncles house in L.A?" She asked, pointing a wobbly finger to three children; one eight-teen year old boy, a thirteen year old boy, and a three year old child sucking on her knuckle. I thought about it, maybe I can find a new life there. I nodded my head and the kids followed. The sun was setting and I decided to call it a day, we found a old cave and the thirteen year old boy, named Ansen, took first watch. I curled up to Mellisa, The three year old girl, and fell asleep. A knew life, A knew family... Everything is going to change.

Chapter 2

I woke with a jolt. As I rushed into the air with a sharp breathe, a rock inside the cave tore a long scratch down my back. Mellisa, woke up, her eyes were small, hazel slits. "Whats wrong?" she said. Her voice was still soft from sleep. All I could do was smile. "Nothing. Go wake up your brothers. We got a place to go." The last part I kind of said to myself, but it didn't matter. Mellisa stumbled over to Ansen and she jumped on his belly. Ansen woke up with a groan and grabbed Mellisa and swung her around. She was laughing just loud enough to wake up the eighteen year old boy, Dean. "What the heck is going on here!" he commanded. His blonde hair was just a dusty brown from the cave."Nothing senior dust bunny!" I mocked a Spanish accent while shrugging my shoulder vigorously. Mellisa let out a cute laugh. Dean strutted straight out of the den. "Whatever, lets go." Ansen picked up Mellisa as she sucked on her thumb. Again? I thought.



We walked for what seems like weeks, but only been seven hours. And finally, Mellisa starts to complain. "Dean! Im hungry, and tired, and bored and-" "Alright!" Dean snapped. correcting himself as he saw our shocked faces, he coughed and mumbled. "Lets stop and hunt." I got flustered. Flustered at the fact Dean thought he was in charge. "Hey, who made you captain?" I called after him. He stopped dead in his tracks and stomped over to me with such fire in his green eyes. "You listen here Amanda..." Crap! He knows my name! "I'm captain cause I'm the oldest." He grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and lifted me up until I was five inch's of the ground. "I'm captain cause I'm taking you and your family somewhere so you can start a life. How do you think of that Mr. Spaiz attack?" I challenged to his face. He grinned and put me down. "You got moxy Amanda, I'll give you that. But I'm still captain, got it?" As he turned away, he peered through his peripheral vision. I nodded. I didn't want to say anything else to start another fight. So, we kept at it.


We stopped by a lake at dawn that day, That's how long we have been travelling. But no, we weren't even close to our destination. Ansen lifted his head and looked in the distance. Fear struck on all our faces as I grabbed Mellisa and ran. All I could hear was Ansen and Dean screaming behind me, "RUN! BEARS!"

Chapter 3


I ran with all the speed I had in my cramped, stiff legs. With little Mellisa, poor Mellisa, in my arms. She's screaming. Ansen and Dean are hard on my feet panting with muted screams of fear. The black monsters behind us or the bears. Foam pouring from their mouths, evil red eyes, and long bloodstained claws scratching at the earth as snarls and roars was all you could hear. I was scared. Frightened. Possibly traumatized. My heart is pounding as the bears are gaining on us. I stop dead. I threw Mell to Dean and faced the screaming demons. "What are you doing?" Ansen yelled over the commotion. Dean didn't hesitate. He held onto Mellisa and ran. "I got this! GO!" I commanded to Ansen. "Amanda, im not leaving you. " His eyes were blue pools of sadnees. I didn't care at the moment. I grabbed a stick and screeched at him. "I SAID GO!" Before he could argue, I was face to face with the bears. Only two of them. But one of them is already trouble. "You wanna dance? Lets dance." I snapped at the bears. It seemed they understood, and accepted. So, I swung the stick in my hands at the bears head, and when they ducked, I let gravity push down the stick, stabbing and bruising the bear's head, The other, who was unharmed so far, charged at me when he saw his comrade dead on the field floor. He roared at me, and swatted raged blows at my head, but I was to quick and dodged every blow. But the dodging didn't last very long... The bear finally landed a blow and had me pinned to the ground within seconds. I was utterly scared. And the bear lifted a large paw, just about to strike,

Chapter 4

The bear dropped the paw. It took me three seconds to move out of the way. But I got a deep gash from the long talons of the bear. I got to my feet and held onto the stick I had earlier. I screamed with rage. I don't know why; Anger, Protectivness, or just plane simple Agression. I jumped into the air with the long staff at the ready. I was soaring down, down, down to the ground. But it wasn't the ground I hit. It was the bear.

The staff was sharp enough to slice into the bear's shoulder. It roared. Louder than a lion. I hopped back to see the bear glance at the wound and charge at me again. All he wanted to do is see my blood on the ground. That's not going to happen. I have to fight. For Ansen, Mellisa, Dean... Ella. I doubled back and rapidly swung the staff in the bears face, but that only mad it angrier. So, I did what anybody would've done. Stabbed the staff into the fleshy neck of the bear.

It layed limp on the ground, as blood slowly poured out of its neck. I know bear isn't eatable if you don't have the right tools. And of course we didn't. I walked away, seeing if any of the others saw what happened.
