The treacherous thunder grows louder. The rain beats down on the roof. The wind howls to the moon. It is getting later and later, but I can not sleep. My family has lived in this house for years, but there has never been a storm like this one.I grew up surrounded by the same four bedroom walls. I never felt so scared, even as a little girl. I am sixteen, and I am to wed Aydan Everny tomorrow. I guess that is adding a little to my fear of this storm. To be Mrs. Avaya Everny is all I ever want. Nothing will ruin our special day tomorrow.
I hear a scream down the hall. It came from Intrina's, my sister, room. My whole family is gathering by her door as I walk down the hall. I push through the crowded doorway to get to my mother.
"Momma, what happened?" I asked.
She stands there for a minute looking confused and bewildered. The she says, "Your sister, oh blessed child, has been murdered." I catch a glimpse of her as I am pushed out the door. I see her throat was slit. I also see my father holding his youngest daughter's cold white hand. I do not see his tears, but I can hear his sobs.
There is more to come.....
In the meantime please help me edit it. I think there are some verb tense problems, but help me out. Thanks
