CHING

WHAT IS THAT?

I run upstairs to my parents bedroom.

Nothing.

I check the bathroom.

Nothing.

I check my brothers room.

Nothing.

Finally, I check my room.

There's definently something- someone there.

There's a body lying stomach down on my bed. The body has an arrow in the middle of it's back and another on the wall attaching a note. I'm in so much shock that I don't think I'm even afraid anymore.

The note reads,

" You think things look bad now,
everything is only a matter of time. "

Things are ALREADY bad enough. They're going to get worse?

Then my attention finally comes to see who the body belongs to. I flip the body over and see my dad's face staring at back at me, dead. I normally would be okay during these situations, but I keep saying to myself, that is YOUR dad. I say this to myself 3 times before It finally hits me in the heart. the tears are flooding from my eyes, like two rivers. Where's the rest of my family?

I go down to the kitchen and see a note from James.

" Hey sis,
At Danielle's call me if you need me"

I think I should call him.

I punch his number into the dial with shivering hands. When he finally picks up after 3 calls, I tell him that he needs to come home now. That it's a family emergency. I guess it kind of is.

James runs through the front door and sees me on the couch in tears.

"What's going on ?" James asks with a worried look on his face.

" Dads dead." I reply almost emotionless.

"What? " James asks why slowly sitting down next to me.

"It's easier to just show you. " I tell him while getting up and walking to my room. Before he sees the note , I take it off the arrow in the wall.

"Oh my gosh." James says with his hand overtop of his mouth while his eyes fill with tears.

"Wait a minute. Where's Mom?!" I ask James.

" I thought she was home with you." James replies.

I hold the note up to a light and see that there is something written on the back .
On the back it says ,
"She's gone too. Not dead , but gone. I'm not so cruel to where I would leave you a permanent orphan. Only a temporary one. "

" What is going on here ? " I ask almost whispering.
