Dark and silenced enveloped the whole place. It was one of those nights that her parents would lock her up in a tiny closet and open it at the next day. It's been six months since her parents do this, that she grows accustomed to it. But this night is different from those nights that only murmurings and arguments can be heared far outside the closet. This night she heared a loud thud, maybe in their living room followed by a growl of pain. It was long after her parents hide her, when theres a sound of exchanging of gun firing that covered their house. Her face is covered by her tears and sweat. She is afraid but she stay still and put her two hands in her ears. She shut her eyes close when a very loud bang extravagate her fear and gluttural cry escaped her mouth.
Where people in the living room put on alarm as they heard that unfamiliar sound that follows after their boss released the bullet that killed the man's wife. The husband is lying to the floor next to his wife. He still breathes but lost courage to live as he witness his wife's death. He has too much injuries and wounds, he knows he cant make it, he loss to much blood. He only thinks of his child , at least she is safe. A minute later he exhale his last breathe.
After his men secured the area, he dismissed them and walk through the area where he heard the noise a while ago. He was sure that it came from this room that has only the moon light up the whole room.
She saw him. He is coming right where she is. She cannot see him. It was to dark to see his face clearly, but his silhouette shows that he is a man. It will not long enough before he would find her, so she push herself back though her back is already touching the closet wall. Every step of the man is the every beat of her heart. She cannot breathe well, she's holding herself too much. She's afraid to be caught. She keeps on peeking through the gap between the two doors of the closet. She watches the man as he trying to find where the noise came from.
Until he notice the closet at the corner of the room next to the window. He takes out his gun from its pocket and aim it at the closet as he slowly move forward to it.
Her fear intensify as the man find out where she is. She close her eyes tight and pray before opening it, where in instant their eyes meet.
The moon gives light to his face that she was abled to see those cold and emotionless grayish-brown orbs. She is aware that he cannot see her from the outside but his stares were as if he is seeing her and pulling her soul to him.
There were a long moment before a man barge in and told the man in the room that they needed to escape because the police are on the way to the house.
He immediately storm out the room as one of his men notify him, forgetting his motive in that room.
When she heard that they completely left their house , she release her tears and sobs that shes been holding a while ago. She cried and weep until she hears the siren of the police mobile.
Not too long when one of the officer open the closet and let her out. Now, she is safe.
