Chapter 36

                                    

                                          
There was a loud buzzing in my head.
                          
What the hell happened?
                          
I can hear some shouts but I am barely conscious.
                          
Then I saw fire.
                          
Huh? What happened?
                          
Fire..
                          
Fire.....
                          
Fire!!!
                          
I can't let Mom and Dad die!!
                          
Get up!!
                          
I tried to move my body.
                          
My back hurts.
                          
I saw a collapsed ceiling.
                          
Huh? Wasn't I in the second floor? 
                          
Did I fall?
                          
My head is still groggy.
                          
I have to wake up. My vision is starting to blur again. I also can't feel anything.
                          
I have to do something. 
                          
Then I saw a huge fire beside me.
                          
I crawled towards it.
                          
I stilled myself and aligned my shoulder with it.
                          
Then that huge flame burned through my clothes and I can feel my flesh melt.
                          
"AAAAH!" The pain woke me up.
                          
My whole body hurts, especially my back.
                          
I clenched my teeth and stand. I smell dried blood on my stinging shoulder and I felt something warm trickle on my face.
                          
I touched my head and there were so much blood.
                          
I panicked. I never saw so much blood before.
                          
This wasn't in the novel. My parents were supposed to die in a plane crash. I somehow thought that the burning aircraft caused Ethan to have fear in fire. Did I really change the plot?
                          
Anyway, I'm thankful this happened. I guess this event will trigger the death scene of my parents.
                          
But I won't let it happen.
                          
I looked around me. I can definitely hear shouts outside. The entrance doors were being budged by the people outside.
                          
Then I saw how much our house crumbled. The second floor collapsed on the first floor.
                          
There's too much flames.
                          
Mom and Dad where in the first floor, the others were also in the living room. Laeticia was also there!
                          
I forced myself to run. I had to be careful because there were some falling debris everywhere.
                          
"MOOOM!!DAAD!"
                          
"HEEELP!!CALL 911!!"
                          
The sprinkler system won't work, the whole second floor collapsed and its system officially malfunctioned.
                          
I kept on coughing. It's getting hard to breathe. The flames also kept on getting stronger. I then saw a broken faucet with gushing water on the sink of our old bar. I wet my clothes and draped it on my body and covered my nose.
                          
I kept on rummaging and climbing the debris in hope of finding them.
                          
"MOOM!!DAAAD!!"
                          
Then I saw a pool of blood. I hurriedly went there. I saw Uncle Emilio shield Bryan. I tried moving the pillar that squashed them but I can't. I looked for a metal rod then used it as a lever. My wound on my shoulder opened and blood gushed but I don't care. If I saved them, I also have extra hands to help me look for my parents.
