Dead and Gone
Chapter 2: Bloody Snow


Surya woke up with wondering eyes. She looks around to see only a pitch where the fire burned but it is now full of ash. She is cold and the ground is covered in snow and shes in her night gown still. She slowly gets up to look for her mom. When She looked around her mom was no where to be seen. She starts wondering the forest each second she grows more worried and horrible thoughts keep running threw her brain. Soon she stops and sees a figure on the ground in the distance. She runs toward it hoping its not what she thinks it is.When she gets to it her eyes start burning and tears go running down her cheeks. Her mom lay there holding a knife in her heart. Her daughter to young to understand why she had done this to herself grabs a hold of her moms other hand and starts crying out loud even though she knows no one is around to hear her. her white night gown is now blood stained, but she doesn't care at the moment, all she knows is her only family had died.

Confused, Surya goes wondering off in the forest, for about 6 miles she sees a small hut. She knocks on it hoping someone will be home, taking the chances of who it could be.
Soon a lady opens the door and looks down at the little girl in the blood stained grown.
"Are you okay?" The lady asked.
"well.. no, can I please come in?" Surya asked.
"oh, um yeah, of coarse" the lady said as she stepped aside to let the little girl in.
As Surya entered the house the lady went into another room then came back with a box and shut the door behind Surya. The lady inspected the little girl and put some anti biotic on her burns and bruises.
"What happened?" The lady asked.
"Everyone but my mom and I died in a fire, then my mom had killed herself when we came out here" Surya sadly replied.
"Oh, I don't see any scratches how did you get blood on your gown?"
"When I found my mom dead i accidentally got her blood on it." Surya said
"Oh that's awful" the lady replied "If I may ask, what is you name? Mine is Carmen." Carmen said.
"Surya" Surya said.
Soon Surya had fallen asleep in the chair where she sat.
