It was a day like any other when everything changed. At least, it was supposed to be. Where my family and I lived, it was quiet and secluded. We had our privacy, our security and nobody bothered us. Most of the time anyway.

I was digging out some old books to read from my wardrobe when I heard a noise from outside. Pausing, I listened in to see if it was my brother or mother returning from their chores, but then another bang sounded and I immediately ran downstairs, grabbing my shotgun on the way.

Following the noise to the kitchen, I realised there was someone attempting to come in through the back door, but the silhouette of a figure I saw through the closed blind wasn't one I recognised. With caution, I left through the front door and made my way around, hoping to surprise the intruder and get the upper hand.

Just as I'd predicted, a stranger was leaning against the doorframe, attempting to unlock the door and break in, so without thinking twice, I raised my shotgun and aimed it forward.

"Hands where I can see them!" I shouted, startling the girl and making her jump but listen.

"I'm sorry," she said slowly, raising her hands. "I thought this place was empty."

"Well, it's not," I retorted harshly. "Turn around. Slowly. One wrong move and I shoot."

Doing as I said, the girl turned around and faced me, hands still raised in the air. Her skin was a ghastly white, losing colour by the second and making her green eyes seem deadly as they looked my way.

"How did you get through the fence?" I asked, not lowering my weapon.

As if her mind was elsewhere, she looked up and tilted her head. "What?"

"The fence," I repeated quickly, not giving an ounce of friendliness away as I shook the gun for emphasis. "Surrounding the perimeter. How did you get through it?"

Swallowing hard, she blinked and looked away. "Sorry, look, there was a hole in it. I was running away and I slipped through, cutting my leg in the process."

Realising I was so distracted with holding her where I could see her, I hadn't noticed the gash on her calf, bleeding at this very second. It definitely didn't look good, which explained her paling expression.
