First before I go jumping into how and when I die/ died I need to give you a bit of backstory about myself. Hi, my name is Ebony, I am 36 currently. I live not far from my family home. My parents are Mason( dad), Mellow(mom), and Dan ( my little brother).
I think I have been a decent sister to him. It's interesting to look back at my life now. Anyway I'm a single woman with a full time job so I can help pay for my little brother to get into a good college. He doesn't talk to me much in this life but I still make sure that I take care of everything that he might needs for college.
I was on my way to work when things started going bad. My oh, my did it go bad. My mom gave me one of her famous steamed rice, egg, and sausage rolls for breakfast before I left her house for work. I thought I was going to be late so I rushed out the door, running as fast as I could with my small frame.
I kept running when I accidentally bumped into someone and they happened to turn in my direction with a glare. " Hey watch it lady!," they shouted. I mumbled an apology and tried to continue on my way to work but they grabbed my arm roughly. It was a man taller than me by a foot and a half. I'm only 5' 2" in height. * This man stands approximately 6' 9". "What did you say lady?" He demanded. I started shaking. I started stammering "I'm..mm.mm.m s.s…s…sorry.." The man sneered at me and then grabs my hair and starts to drag me with him down an alley. "Ouch, t…..t….t…that h…..h…..hurts," I stammer out.
I start to get nervous and overwhelmed with the possibility that this man is not only kidnapping me but he is also possibly going to hurt me or humiliate me. "Look what I found boys!" The man exclaimed. Then he tossed me into a wear house. There were men all around me.
The youngest looking guy was in a black suit. "Well we do have a beauty here today. I wonder what she did to piss off our guard?" The young man said. I look at him even though I am scared.
"Looks like the beauty thinks she can mess with us and get away with it," another man said. I make a startled expression and then stammer out. " I…. I…. I a…a..a.accidentally b….b.b.bb.bumped into h…h..him." I managed to say. The guy is the suit looked over at the guard as he called him.
"Looks like I need to teach one of my subordinates a lesson about how to treat the fairer sex." He said. I blink at him in surprise that he actually acknowledged what I had stammered out.
I look at him like pleading him to let me leave. "Now that you have seen me and my men along with where I am hidden I'm afraid that I can't just let you go." He said. I look at him with a look that I am sure is shock.
"I…I… … d..d…d..d.d.d.d.d.don't…w..w..want…t..t..to… die y..y…y….y..y..y…yet I…I….I'm p….p…p…paying f..f….f….for m…m…m…my b…b…b.brother's e…e…e..education." I stammered out. The next thing I hear is laughter all around me.
"This lady thinks that we will pity her." Another man chortled. I paled at that. Next thing I know my phone starts ringing. I go even paler. The man in the suit looks toward me and says "pick it up." I did as he said. "Hello," I say while the phone is on speaker. "Where are you?" The voice on the other end says.
I know that it's my boss. "Sorry boss I don't think I can make it." I say in as normal tone as I can. "Why? Are you okay? You have never missed work before did something happen with your family?" My boss inquired.
I then look at the guy with the suit for an answer. He shrugs. "I am okay but need some time off." I say instead of saying that something happened to me or my family. The man in the suit looks impressed by me not saying anything about me or what has happened. "Okay. Take as long as you need but not too long because we need our best worker back and in top shape." Then the line went dead.
I start to laugh to myself thinking yeah right about me going back to work when my life was forfeited by just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The men around me look at each other trying to get what I was laughing about. Then the guy in the suit gestures to the guard.
Next thing I know he is behind me. I look at him with no fear left in my eyes. "Are you my personal grim reaper?" The man makes an odd expression then I feel a heat punch through where my heart should have been. Then my consciousness fades. As my consciousness fades I think about what my family would think if they heard that I was dead.
Would my brother be sad? Would my mother and father be sad? Would they even care to know what had become of me? Am I just going to die here not knowing how they are doing?
*——meanwhile——*
In another room not far from where Ebony breathed her last breath. Her brother had died a week prior to her she hadn't known because her brother had often not come home for days while she was making money to pay for college tuition that he never paid for. He had died with a heart full of regrets about what he had done to his sister.
*———— at the family's home the night of Ebony's death ————*
Mellow noticed that Ebony didn't come back from work to visit them before going to her apartment. "Mason dear did Ebony go home early from work or did anything happen?"Mellow asked. "no dear," Mason said. "Let's go looking because I have a bad feeling dear."Mellow said. "Okay."said Mason.
They search for hours not finding any thing. They stop by Ebony's work to see if she was there and find out that she had asked for some time off. They think to themselves that it's odd because she has never taken time off like that for any reason.
They start to head back home only to run into a group of thugs. " What do you want?" They ask. "You," the leader of the thugs says. Mellow and Mason both turn to run only to notice that their path to escape has been blocked.
Next thing they knew they felt like they were hot for no reason. They look down at their chests then they collapse into a bloody heap. That was the last thing they saw before death.
