Smoke and ash thickened the night air. Screams echoed through the darkness, buildings crumbled to nothing but ash as the fire consumed them. Dustan looked around, the thick smoke choked his lungs and his eyes burned like fire. Glancing to his left a man erupted into flames that engulfed his entire body. He soon fell to the ground withering before death silenced him.
Dustan searched frantically through the ruble trying to find his family. What once used to be homes and humble citizens crunched beneath his feet sending chills up his spine.
“DDDUUUSSSTTAANN!” The piercing scream, made Dustan jump he quickly ran towards the sound of his sister’s voice. Remnants of the fallen city filled his lungs, burning him from the inside out. He ignored the pain, and ran. His feet barely touched the ground as he made his way towards his sister. He had to find her.
Something caught his foot forcing him to the ground; looking behind him he saw the pale cold faces of his parents. His father’s arms were wrapped protectively over his mother. Their eyes wide open in death. Dustan’s heart felt heavy in his chest, like it was going to fall right out of him. Taking a deep breath he leapt to his feet and ran faster than before.
Within moments he reached his sister. A dark cloaked figure held a twisted blood soaked knife to her, his lips curling into a disturbing smile.
“Let her go!” Dustan yelled, his emotions getting the better of him.
“So the brave Dustan finally decided to join us.” He laughed, Dustan’s sister tried to get away from him and run to her brother but the man quickly stopped her and pressed the dagger deeper into her neck, “Try that again and your brother will have to bury three bodies instead of two.”
“What do you want?” Dustan glared at the man, quickly glancing at his sister.
“What do I want?” He chuckled, “You don’t remember do you?” Dustan stared at the man clutching his fist. “How amusing, well let’s put it simply this is not your sister and those,” He pointed to his parent’s bodies, “Are not your parents.”
“Then let her go! She means nothing to you!” He yelled, his anger boiled inside of him. Like the flames around him, the heat intensifying. Dustan froze realizing what he had just said.
“Nothing? Well if her life is meaningless then.” He pushed the blade into her flesh. She fell to the ground dead. “Dustan, all I want is you.” He backed away from the girl’s body keeping his eyes on Dustan.
Dustan scooped his sister up in his arms, tears rolled down his cheek landing on her lifeless body. He closed her eyes. “Why?” His voice was barely a whisper.
The cloaked man laughed, “Because you are just like me.”
“I am nothing like you!” Dustan yelled his anger taking control; the man chuckled but before Dustan could get to his feet the figure had vanished.
