Julia's POV
I had not heard from my dog Char since afternoon and it was already evening. It was getting late and dad was in the balcony. My elder sister Christabel was cooking for us to eat. I didn't know where my elder brother was. I sneaked out of the house to go look for Char. I called out it's name but there was no reply. A mile away from the house I saw my dog lying down dead on the floor I sat down under a tree and cried for a very long time, when I came back to my senses and realized it was late. I didn't know how but I found my way home. The moment I went home I went straight to my room I didn't even mind my dad when she asked me to come and eat. As I got into my room I looked through the window the saw unusual movement. It looked weird but I had a lot on my mind to think about other people. I went to sleep heartbroken. Around 2am, I heard some noise. I woke up and thought it was my brother and dad arguing but it sounded like a gun shoot. Quietly I walked downstairs I hid so no one could see me because anytime my dad and brother fought they wanted me to be a way but what I saw shocked me lying in the pool of blood was my dad and my sister was on her knees talking to some strange men. I wanted to go save my sister but she spotted me and shook her head, as I was about to step out from my hid out someone held my mouth. I was going to scream but it was my brother, he told me that he will distract them so I could run. But I didn't want to be a coward and run.
Christabel's POV
As I was cooking in the kitchen, I saw my little sister walk out. If my father knew he will ask her to come back. I knew she was bored of this environment. Since mom died. Dad made us move from our New York to a small town to avoid any trouble. I knew my grandfather was a mafia. We all knew except Julia. I checked her room around 8pm and she still wasn't in. I didn't want to tell my dad Julia was out around 12pm she went upstairs. I called her to come and eat but she didn't mind me. After I packed and was about to leave for my room a couple of people barged into the room. I run to the living room and saw my dad lying in the pool of his own blood. It was our uncle Trigger, how he located us I didn't know. He asked me to kneel down and I did. I didn't want Julia to hear us. Where was Bismarck? I heard someone walking down the stairs. No that couldn't be Julia. I looked around and notice her in the dark. I saw she wanted to come out but I shook my head, she still wanted to come out miraculously held her and whispered something to her. The last thing I said before Trigger shot was RUN JULIA!
