The story began (fictional story)

My family lived underground. Basically, no one knows about us. We are known as the under dwellers as people would usually refer to. Me and my sister, adopted sister are the only family I have. Our parents died in an earthquake 20 years ago. There was only me and her. Her name was Sonya. She 's older than me by two years. We took care of each other since we only have each other. We lived in a village situated in which you people call the pacific ocean. We look humans but the only difference is we have blue eyes. We bleed blue blood. We have no idea how we are there. All we know is that our ancestors have been living here for quite some time now.
Its been years, me and my sister lived in our small little hut. We hunt for food in the nearby forest. She cooked while i prepare the firewood. Usually we have 'Pacton'. A kind of animal which to humans might look like some kind of rabbit. Its flesh is what sustain us. Don 't get me wrong. We have enemies as well. 'Savra' a type of wild animal usually hunts and feeds on us under dwellers. Humans might say that these creatures look like tigers with heads of piranhas. Basically that's what they look like. But it does n' t mean that they can 't die. We under dwellers created a sort of poison made of under earth flowers which we uses to dip our spears. With this we can kill the creature and immobilize it permanently.
I was always fearful for Sonya. And sometimes I might get overprotective over her. I build a fence made out of the poison flowers around our hut. Eventually, the rest of the villagers did the same. Sonya always wanted to follow on the hunt, but I asked her to stay in and wait. No matter how i insisted on her staying in she always put up a fuss and in the end i have to give in.
One day we went hunting as usual. We spotted a 'pacton' munching on some grass nearby. I hold up my crossbow and was about to aim. Sonya was beside me breathing heavily. Suddenly, we felt a huge shadow looming over as. It was the Savra. Sonya screamed.She ran. I followed at the same time shooting at the creature. It was fast. The creature did n 't feel a thing from my arrows. I did n 't dip them in the poison cause it was meant for our prey. In a flash, a spear hit the creature dead. I stood surprised at the sudden rescue.
It was Rovat, a hunter from a nearby village. He saved my life and.... Sonya... Where is Sonya? When I turned around, Sonya was gone. I stood there as fear shook me violently. I grip my hands and run into the forest searching frantically for my sister but she was no where to be found. Where can she be??
