Short Story - Friendship

This is my first attempt at making a heart-touching story. Yeah, I went over-board with the part bandits attacking the boys, so what?! I ain't a pro. But criticism is supported :3

Once upon a time, in a village, there lived two friends whose friendship was without bounds. They were always there for each other in the most dire situations. They were so close to each other that they wouldn't hesitate giving their lives for one another. One night, a group of bandits raided the village. The village was set on fire, and there was bloodshed everywhere. The bandits robbed everything, even the lives of the villagers. Seeing their families slain in front of them, the two boys ran to find each other for their friendship was the last hope of survival they had now left. They tried to dodge every possible danger and met up at the old storehouse which they always used as a hiding place. They wept and wept as they heard screams of people. Suddenly, someone started kicking the door of the storehouse, the boys got closer to each other. The door broke and the bandits came in. One of the bandits pulled up the boys from their hair and threw them outside. The bandits gathered around them. Both of them were scared but at the same time wanted to protect one another. As the bandit swung his sword, one of the boys stepped ahead and blocked the sword from hitting his friend. Seeing the sight, the other boy couldn't control and attacked the bandit. Overpowered, the boy got smacked onto the ground. As he fell to the ground, he saw his other friend, lying near to him, covered in blood. He strecthed his hand and held his friend's hand and closed his eyes. Tears started coming out of his eyes for the only treasure he had, had been stolen from him. The bandit mercilessely stabbed the boy in his back with a sword and killed him. The boys always treasured their friendship, and tried to protect each other till the end.
