Idea 1: What Really Happened

Jade Eferet has just seen her parents get murdered. There's only one problem: the cops think she did it. What happens when the only one who you can trust is the best friend you haven't talked to in years? Jade wants everyone to know one thing: what really happened.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Mom! Dad! I'm home!" I yell through the house. Usually, I would get a response but all I get is dead silence.

I look out the front door and see both of my parents cars. Usually, both of my parents are home when I get back after my MMA classes.

"Well, maybe they went out..." I mumble to myself. I continue through the house, dropping my gym bag in the living room on my way to the kitchen.

"Okay, its time to get started," I say, getting everything I need to make pasta and a small salad.

Ten minutes later, I sit at the kitchen island with my dinner. "Mmmm... Perfect," I moan to myself. All of a sudden, I hear a noise upstairs, right above me. My parents bedroom.

"Mom? Dad? Is that you?" I call out, leaving the kitchen, going through the living room to the stairs.

I go to their room and knock on the door. "Mom? Are you in there? I ask. But a soon as I hear a crash, I burst through the door.

"Mom! Are you okay?!" I see my mom lying on the floor in a pool of blood. I look around the the room and see that their window is broken, my grandmothers ashes are all over the floor.... and then I see my dad. He is tied to a chair and his throat is slit. "Oh, daddy..." I whisper.

I hear a few coughs and turn to my mom. {SHE'S STILL ALIVE!}~I think it to myself.

"Mom, Mom! Speak to me! What happened?!"

"Oooohhhh... Jade..... *cough cough*..." my mom whimpers.

I rush over, put her on her back and place her head in my lap. It looks like she was stabbed in the stomach.

"Mom, never mind, don't try to talk. Please... Please don't die and leave me....." I whisper to her. But she talks anyway and coughs up blood that splatters onto my face.

"Jade.... Run.... Please baby, run...." My mom tried. And my mom stopped breathing.
