Musical accompaniment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgJSC68MLM0 - Radiohead – No Surprises (Piano Cover by Josh Cohen)
I've never actually gone into what happened during the DA's cleansing in my story, read a little about what Elise and her siblings went through below - This isn't a nice story people - Be warned.
Less than a week ago, Elise and her family - Her parents, her younger siblings (All 11 of them) were crowded around the ageing home piano, singing and munching on left over dinner which the kids hadn't eaten, life was simple, wholesome and good - for the most part. The cold house was always warmed by their spirit and presence, they typically didn't have enough money to leave the heating on all the time, but when there was 14 of you in a house, there were more than enough bodies to keep the cold at bay.
A loud creak disturbed her thoughts, she was pulled back into reality suddenly. This was very far away from that. A rickety shelter made from corrugated iron and rotting wood barely kept the rain off her head, it poured down in thick lashes, battering the rickety slums harshly. Most of the local people had hidden underground leaving Elise by herself. She'd managed to find a spot that was mostly sheltered however and the very second her life wasn't at risk, her thoughts her ripped back to what had happened the day previously.
She couldn't find a single survivor from her family... time was short and her return to the house was full of nothing but nightmares and hell. Why were the Draconic Alliance security forces gunning their own people down?! She was out on a simple grocery shop around midday when the gunfire started and it didn't stop. Public transport stopped and left her stranded in town, she practically sprinted for an hour straight to get home.
She started shaking her in her clothes uncontrollably as she remembered what she found. Her mum had tried to bar the families front door to stop them coming in. Her body was laid out in the hallway where she dropped, killed as the opened fire through the door. Every room was searched, every child - her brothers and sisters - murdered in their rooms, the only grace being it must have been quick. Blood stained cribs fresh in her mind. The eldest, Diego and Wex, and her Father weren't in the house, she had no idea where they were... maybe still alive? She doubted anyone could have survived that massacre.
The gunfire didn't stop until she reached an evacuation ship. The trip there was a blur. Someone saw her enter the house, a family friend, and pulled her out kicking and screaming to a vehicle nearby, they were making plans to leave the planet immediately. Things got confusing at the ship, there were too many people and not enough time, too few ships and too few supplies. They had to take off, the guard forces were coming back with bigger weapons...
They had to drop off a load of people at the innerscape slums. Elise didn't give a damn where they dropped her off, she just agreed, she needed to be alone. No. She needed to be with her family, but they were gone now. She sat on the cold floor, staring into her memories. Cuts and bruises covered her body, she'd picked them up along the way, someone had tried to drag her off in the slums, she didn't remember fighting them off but she was hurting. Everything was grey and anything that wasn't was either red or black. So many questions but no answers, no help, no hope, no family, no end.
All she wanted was to hear the family piano again. Could she go back to last week? Please?
For those wondering, Elise has no idea anyone else of her family survived, she still isn't aware of Diego or (poor Wex), bless her. She's a lot better now though.
