Chapter 2 Protecting brother

Emily was wondering where she should go, if she goes home, it can be dangerous, because she couldn't think of a reason, why they killed her father. 'May be they wanted to kill her also.' Emily thought.

After thinking for a while she decided to go to her bestie's house. Josie, in all happiness and sadness it was only Josie, with whom Emily could share all her secrets.

Josie too cared a lot about Emily, They were friends for years. When Emily was six years old, they had shifted to Josie's neighborhood, since then Emily and Josie were best friends.

Before two years Josie's father got transferred to another city. It was a two hours journey to reach Josie's house. But she didn't have any money with her, she neither had a phone with her to contact anyone.

That morning a lots of black dressed men had rushed in to Emily's house with weapons in their hands.

The men tied Emily's hands and mouth, same they did to Emily's father, brother and mother.

Emily had been struggling to get free from them with all her strength.

She clearly remembers one of the men shouting: "tie her up properly, if she runs away we all will be in trouble."

Then they took the whole family and pushed them inside a car.

The cars sped off the roads, after sometime the cars stopped. The men asked them to get off from the car.

As they got down one of the men hit hard on Emily's fathers head.

Roger fell on the ground hard... Emily could see her father's head bleeding , she screamed... who are you? What the hell do you need?

Jack, Emily's brother was calm at that moment, he had been thinking the way of protecting everyone. He had managed to untie his hands...

Jack counted the men around him, they were more than six. Jack was a strong man, he had learnt Karate too.

Jack held the man's neck behind him, and with all his force he pulled him in front of him.

All who were present there were shocked at this scene.

Emily, too had learnt a little bit fighting from her brother, she too reached the man behind her, and gave a punch with all her strength on his face.

The man growled in pain.. his nose was bleeding... 'you bitch' he shouted in pain "see what I do now"

Before his hand could reach Emily's hair, Jack had twisted man's hand and thrown him on the ground.

Another man came running with a knife, Jack didn't notice him , but he was quick to dodge the man, he moved his hand in front protecting his body, this was the reason he got injured his hand was bleeding badly.

Jack noticed more men entering... before he went to protect his father, a man took his knife and stabbed Roger... Emily and Jack shouted together.... Dad.

Emily was shocked, she couldn't move from her place... and her mom lost her senses.

Jack was strong and calm... he instructed Emily to take mom and run from there, while he was still fighting back protecting his family.

While thinking these, Emily's eyes were red again, Emily was lost in her thought... she saw her mother, "mom must be hungry I have to do something" she thought.

she decided to sneak into her house at night to take some money and food.

At night ...

Emily standing outside her house, 'It's my house, still why am I scared to go inside.'

Someone had locked her house... 'who might have locked , when they left in the morning it was all open.

Collecting all her courage she entered her house from the back door. The memories of morning flashed in her mind.

She went to her room took some dresses and then her mom's room to take some of her dresses. She took everyone's phone, where ever she could find money and every bank card she could find.

The house was given to them from the company, so Emily thought she won't be able to come back to this house, in which she had lived for years.

Emily felt heartbroken... the more she thought about it she felt sad...

She put all in one bag and went out, she had seated her mom on a bench near the house. There was no one on the streets. Emily checked the time, it was past two o' clock.

She had some money now, she ordered some food for her and her mom. she hailed a taxi to go to Josie's house.

On the way, she couldn't help but crying remembering her father, brother and her mother's situation.

She had never dreamt that her life would take such a U turn in which she will have to live without her father.
