The Tragedy

Boom!

A loud sound came all the way from outside. Reign, who was in a middle of a good dream, suddenly wakes up from her bed.

What was that?

She hastily opens her window to witness what was happening and saw a huge black smoke far away. The people from the neighborhood saw what was happening and all went out from their houses making a commotion.

It's probably a small fire that went uproar for not being immediately taken care of. She thought to herself.

But another booming sound, now louder than before, made an impact that Reign feels a shake from the grounds.

Everyone made a jolt of scream. Reign can hear the people shouting "bomb".

The sound of helicopters and ambulances were already evident as the continuos booming sound made through.

Oh dear.

She can feel herself shaking, her heart racing. Reign, still in her pajamas, went out of her apartment after taking some things with her to look for Helen, her neighbor and co-worker.

"Helen! Helen!" She knocked her friend's door many times. The grounds are shaking and she is making sure Helen is awake.

Her body tells her to move out of the apartment since there is something bad that is happening. An unknown she wouldn't want to think would be happening.

The door immediately opens with a groggy Helen asking what's the matter.

This woman will be the death of mine!

"Let's move out now! Grab your phone and wallet," she discarded the curious remarks of her friend and immediately took her hand after seeing her phone is already with her.

"Oh my gosh, what the heck is happening?!" Helen yelled so loudly after feeling the huge shake from the grounds.

Reign was making silent prayers. She does not want to think of the bad. Once they stepped outside of the apartment, they can hear the people's screams of territorial bombings.

That only made Reign's heart race quickly.

Keep calm, Reign. You wouldn't want another heart attack happening to you in this situation.

Her friend seems to notice so she held tight Reign's hand knowing what will happen to her friend. "Breathe in and out, we can make it through Reign," Helen assured her friend as they move to look for a taxi.

People in the neighborhood were still in commotion. Everyone seems to know what would happen so some brought luggages with them.

Boom!

"Helen, I don't want to think what it is," Reign softly said, still shaking. She doesn't like to think although, for sure, she already has the slight idea of what was happening.

Instead of looking for a taxi, both of them ran away opposite from the origin of the now heavy black smoke. The surroundings were getting out of hand.

Reign can't help but think of her parents. What could happen to them?

While both of them are running away mindlessly, Reign contacted her mother's number. Everyone in the neighborhood was also running.

Please don't let them be in danger. Please, I beg you.

The number kept on ringing and as seconds pass by, she can't help but feel scared. Reign looks at her friend's face. She also has an overlying worried face but kept it strong.

After several attempt, the call was not responded. I can't think clearly! Surely mom and dad is in danger!

"Helen, mom and dad," Reign trailed, her voice shaking.

Then suddenly, as if on cue, a screeching sound came all the way above them. Right before Reign's eyes is a huge bomb falling above from the sky.

Boom!
