When Lexie opened her eyes again, she found herself buried under a huge quantity of soil mixed with ash, she moved very slowly because since she opened her eyes again she felt like her head was spinning around, she felt something dripping from her nose and she felt a bit confused, the blood was all over her face and her small body was trapped in a way that she couldn't even move.
The first thing she thought about was her family. Even when she felt pain after several attempts of moving she carried with it, the last attack hit her and her family, and that made her very confused and pissed and hopeless about her state.
She removed what was burying her body with difficulty then she freed herself only to see everything around her in a worse state than the triple full moon.
She was not able to see past her feet but she already knew because of the ash that was all over the place, and the trees that were on the ground now that the attack was very strong.
She tried to take advantage of the ash and the smoke all around her and made a lighting spell, she accumulated her energy in her palm and processed it to make the spell. It was not that strong and she wanted it that way because if she used her energy the enemy would notice her and kill her with the next hit.
She kept on moving in circles whispering her sister's names and calling for her mother but she got no replies.
After minutes of researching the place and her heart started to realize what state she was in.
After that hit, she kept on moving, not letting herself think about anything, just the safety of her sister but now she was unable to keep her mind clear.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe damage was all over the place and the fact that she couldn't find any of them made her feel troubled in a bad way.
Since the start, she only wanted to protect them with nothing else in her mind and now thinking about failing that mission was making her anxious.
" Mooooom, Siliiin …Jinnnyy..are you hearing me? " She was now raising her voice a bit so that they would be able to hear her but no response.
She wiped her nosebleed that kept on dropping since she woke up, while not stopping not even for a second to look at them.
For half an hour all she did was call out for them with no agreeable result until she decided to dig the soil underneath all that destruction, it was the only possible explanation for their disappearance.
Her tears started to fall the more she dug all over the place they were standing before the attack.
her nails started to hurt but she was not going to stop all knowing that they might not be okay.
" Please show up ….please …please … I can't find you when you are all being silent " She begged the more she dug.
Just a few meters away from where she was standing she dug with tears blocking her vision, she didn't dig that much in that place until she felt something like hair between her fingers, she wiped her tears and looked more carefully into the hole she created.
' Is this hair? '
She couldn't recognize it because it was covered with soil and ash which made it unrecognizable.
She dug more all over that place only to be stunned by the look of her little sister Jinny's body.
" Ahhhhhhh….Jinny …Jinny " She shouted when she recognized her sister's body from the clothes of district 1 that she was wearing.
Lexie carried the body with difficulty because of her injury, she flipped it so that she could see her face, and then started slapping her face to wake her up.
Even then she couldn't accept the fact that her sister might be dead.
" Jinny ….wake …sisssy …wake up ..it is me, Lexie "
Lexie was too afraid to check her pulse, she didn't want to know that her sister got killed by that attack even when she saw the damage all around her.
" Jinny …sissy …please wake up …your big sister is afraid, so afraid, so please wake up and smile at me "
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLexie was now shaking her body to wake her up yet her body felt light, her sister was not heavy, to begin with, but now she was much easier to move than before.
her tears kept on falling on her cheeks, she reached for her neck to check her pulse only to find none.
In the aftermath of the attack, her sister was buried underground and had suffered fatal injuries, but she refused to believe what she had seen.
"This can't be happening, this can't be happening ....sissy ...I can't believe this ...you're not dead ...you're not dead".
Later on, Lexie was able to find the body of her mother and her sister Sillin under the soil too, the attack killed the three of them and Lexie had nothing to do to save them.
For hours she looked at their bodies as they lay cold motionless on the ground while surrounded by fallen trees, and she realized that she was all by herself for the first time.
her mind was blank as she kept on looking at them with tears in her eyes.
She stopped the lighting spell because she was too afraid to look at those bodies knowing that she failed them that much.
She was able to hear several hits now as she was sitting on the ground with crossed legs, screams were all over the place, she knew that her people were not safe but she was not ready to move or help anyone.
" I can't help anyone …I can't help anyone ….I am just useless "
She kept saying the more she heard the screams of her people..
With dawn, there was officially no district one ….
With dawn, Lexie realized that she wanted to kill all of them …
